how do you unlock regicide difficulty?

[mamurkoot]

pumped to start this but i noticed the fifth difficulty option is greyed out and can't be selected. is it gonna be a free download after launch or something?

Since apparently you're unable to do everything in one playthrough, I'd imagine it's unlocked after beating the game for the first time. If not that maybe then they just literally disabled it for the demo

I think its locked because regicide simply would be too hard for a first playthrough.
and it will be unlocked as a NG+ option or after you reach credits one time.

im playing the demo on hard, and I find most persona games really easy on the hardest difficulty.

yet there are some enemies that will just party wipe in a single turn WITH people defended and fully healed.

regicide looks like literal hell.

Goblins lol, they are dangerous if you don't ambush them

Terrible news if it's only for NG+.

Seconding the confirmation of Regicide as a NG+ difficulty. Hopefully it's remotely balanced to offer a second playthrough for the missed/un-chosen options as Hashino has discussed the game having, though a brutally hard Bravely Default style "loop" difficulty where you don't have to raise social stats and can just boss rush with all your endgame party comps sounds fun too

I hope it has more stuff and different/true ending.

Oh God, imagine if there's a sequel and the intro explicitly references something locked behind Regicide extra content. Cold Steel 3 all over again...

That being said, Digital Devil Saga and Persona had superbosses locked behind NG+ so it's not that far of a stretch

It should be expected to be honest, this is a big Hashino game, it should have stuff unlocked post-game.

I assume despite Denuvo there're no issues importing someone else's NG+ save file? Hopefully someone will share it asap. Even if I have to skip on day 1-2 hype it should be worth it.
