Welcome to Take Your Time, a podcast by Jonathon Dornbush and Tom Marks where the duo will be playing Persona 5 Royal in real time, playing along with P5R's in-game calendar. Join Tom and Jonathon for episode 26 as we continue the free time of Okumura's Palace in Persona 5 Royal during the week of Sept 27 - Oct 3.

We're holding palace discussion for next week, but in the meantime, our Persona 5 Royal playthrough continues with more free time to decide which confidants to hang out with, a surprising in-game mention of this Persona 5 podcast's favorite TV show, House M.D., and much more. But, of course, our discussion is primarily focused on the end of the week's events, in which a major new moment in the Royal-specific plot deepens our understanding of what's to come, provides new insight into Kasumi, and totally catches Jonathon by surprise. We dig into that surprising day and much more as we prep for the palace talk next week.

Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, and answer some questions about the length of Persona 5 Royal, save states in Persona 5 and JRPGs in general, and a lot more.  Be sure to write in with your thoughts to [email protected], or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).
