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 28 as we dive into the week of Oct. 11 - 17, following up on the end of Persona 5 Royal's Okumura section and diving into the prelude to the next palace of P5R.

As our Persona 5 Royal podcast and playthrough continues, we look at the fallout of our trip into Okumura's Palace, including what change of heart Haru's father may have, the fallout for Haru, and even how investigations into Haru's family bring to light serious trouble for Persona 5 Royal's Phantom Thieves. But this section of Persona 5 and P5R isn't only about Okumura - we also learn who the target for Persona 5 Royal's next palace will be, and the implications of it for the gang. The changing tides for Persona 5's Phantom Thieves arrives, and it could mean trouble for their public standing.

This week in Persona 5 Royal also includes plenty of free time, so Jonathon and Tom also explain how they spent their extra time ahead of the next round of exams, which cap this week of Persona 5. It's a series of free time moments that are nothing short of revelatory for the duo, as Jonathon brings victory from his Persona 5 playtime to present to Tom, only for Jonathon to learn a shocking truth. And Tom continues to chip away at his social stats, but proves that Jonathon's taunts of reaching level 5 on more stats may have pushed Tom to his limits, as he reveals a surprising plan for his Persona 5 Royal freetime. 

Plus, our Persona 5 podcast offers another Pop Quiz question, answers listener questions, and a lot more.  Be sure to write in with your thoughts to [email protected], or tweet at Jonathon (@jmdornbush) and Tom (@tomrmarks).
