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 29 as we dive into the week of Oct. 18 - 24.  

As our Persona 5 Royal podcast and playthrough continues, we discuss an interesting week in the lives of the Phantom Thieves, as we finish up Persona 5 Royal's final exam period, continuing from last week's episode 28. But more importantly than exams, this week of Persona 5's calendar offers a quieter, but still important look into the lives and relationships of some key figures. We discuss some of what we learn about Haru, especially with new Persona 5 Royal scenes with Haru and Maruki, as well as, finally, the return of Akechi.   

Persona 5 Royal's Phantom Thieves also make some surprising revelations about their past exploits into previous palaces, what that means for their waning popularity, and how they plan to approach their next steps and clear the Phantom Thieves' name. But of course, it's also a week with some free time, and though much of it is limited, we discuss what Confidant lines we advanced, how we approached our social stats, and more. At the end of the episode, we also discuss Takemi's Confidant line, and some social stat info.  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).
