The role-playing video game "Persona 5," which follows the adventures of the silent Japanese student after his transfer to Shujin Academy, was initially released only in Japan last September. Now, it has finally been released worldwide.

It basically works the same way as the previous games, but with new twists added to the gameplay. Countless of tips and tricks have already been posted online since the game's release, and this article is about to give a couple of those.

First, a great way to earn experience, money, and treasure in the "Persona 5," apart from the main story arcs, is through Mementos missions. The purpose of these missions is to "change the hearts of people that have not become corrupt enough for an entire palace," according to Mic.

To unlock the basic Mementos missions, a player must look out for the messages after class. That's the easy part because, for other missions, the player must build a deeper bond with other characters such as Ichiko Ohya, Sadayo Kawamaki, Tae Takemi, and Chihaya Mifune. Each of them may give the player a request between Ranks 7 and 8, and as soon as the player has fulfilled their request, he/she will be able to rank up with the characters.

Also, in the game, players are able to create powerful Personas by fusing different Personas together. According to USGamer, there are ways on how to ensure that a player creates a powerful Persona. However, the player must remember that it is extremely important to be careful in fusing Personas as he/she may lose a Persona forever if he/she fuses it accidentally. If the player has registered his/her Personas in the Compendium, though, it may help in getting back those that have already been fused.

When fusing Personas, the player must also choose one that has a high Social Link rank. As per USGamer, "Each level you have in that certain Social Link Arcana allows you to give that particular Persona a significant EXP boost."

However, the most straightforward tip of them all to help a player succeed in the game, according to Polygon, is to always pay attention to Morgana. The cat must not be ignored. Once a player meets Morgana, it will drop hint after hint for the player to know what to do and where to go. These hints could come in the form of suggestions or even detailed instructions.

"Persona 5" is available for the PlayStation 3 and 4 consoles.
