Persona 5 EX

[☆reshiya☆]

There is a mod for the Original PS3 version of P5 called "Persona 5 EX", this mod was supposed to make the original as close to royal as it possibly could plus more. for example Yu Narukami and Makoto Yuki fights are back,Black mask Akech rejoins after the boss fight during Shido's place, Kasumi is also a party member replacing no one (albeit a little broken since she doesn't gain EXP correctly), and outfits during cutscenes. However it doesn't add Maruki or Kasumi (As a social link), the 3rd semester is not backported, nor any events that are exclusive to royal, also Akechi's social link is not changed like in royal. 3rd awakening persona were also backported which you can only obtain during 12/24. Jose is not backported and the new reworked mementos isn't either.

There is also another mod called "The Royal Project" this mod is supposed to be used with Persona 5 EX, the royal project backports more things like Maruki and his confidant and Kasumi's too, also Kichijoji is backported as well.

Why would you want to play the modded PS3 version though? Well P5EX is "Technically" more difficult compared to Royal since there are no Showtimes, and no Izanagi-No-Okami which if you want, you can get him with "Big Persona Backport".

The only problems with P5EX is that you need: A Powerful CPU (If you want the 60 fps patch), RPCS3 (PS3 Emulator) and a copy of Persona 5 on PS3.

Also stability issue, P5EX isn't the most stable since you can get crashes or even worst soft-locks.

Uhhh taking dlc assets and adding them to the base game...They do realize that you cant legally do that right? There is a reason Nexus deletes your mod immediately if you are found to have ripped assets without permission.

This is basically a piracy thread.

I guess all those Watch Dogs Spider-Man Batman mods for GTA are "piracy" too.

Depends did they rip assets from a game and then port them without permission? because yes that is piracy. Creating your own custom assets is not.

Literally just use the DLC rework and enemy HP mods. I recommend the 1.5x setting on enemy HP.
This balances Royal nicely imo. Baton pass just skyrockets your damage compared to the original but 50% increased enemy HP feels good on hard mode.

Are the unlocks included on the disc, with the download essentially being a 1kb patch to enable said content?

Pretty sure it'd still be illegal, or at least against TOS... But is kind of an interesting question at that point.

Edit to clarify that I'm thinking of the (paid) DLC Persona's specifically. Things like the Almighty icon or balancing etc should be fair game.

All of the mods give credit to Atlus for everything they did, also if it IS piracy to add removed DLC content then why are there mods that add the removed DLC outfits or change the Almighty icon?

Giving credit to a company that you ripped assets doesnt make it legal. You can not rip assets from a dlc then make a mod that adds the dlc assets to a game where the customer doesnt own the dlc. That is highly illegal. Mods get taken down for having a single stolen texture in them even.

One of the mods I talked about were in development for about 2 years so if Atlus didn’t take down the mod then they maybe don’t care.

You realize you posted links to the project on the steam forums right? You cant promote piracy on here regardless of if you think Atlas cares about the mod.
