Duplicate horse statue in one of Maruki's flashback scenes.

Another door in Maruki's palace's Test Track, blocked off.

There is a hidden small storage room in the Kichioji jazz club, where it is never seen in view. It seems to look a bit unfinished, and may have intended to be seen from the right side.

The old room from Futaba's Palace, which was replaced by a Will Seed room, exists under it.

Unused Areas

File: f012_031. A museum location. This is actually used... in a unused cutscene about Madarame's past.

File: f013_026. A backdrop of a sauna? Seen in an unused cutscene.

The unused areas from Kamoshida's Palace from the original with the exception of the Sewer Area (finally used and redesigned) and the Early Main Hall are still here, still unused; As well as the placeholder room and placeholder safe rooms. The unused station field is now empty, with only a skybox.

Unused QR Code Display Function

MSG_QR_HIT
You will occasionally discover "QR Codes" when you use Third Eye in town.
These codes can be used to gain points to summon Personas in the "PERSONA O.A." application.
There are a total of "100" QR codes to be found in various places on various dates,
so try using Third Eye all around the city to find QR codes.

There exists an unused QR code search/display function. It would display a QR code for the use of the now-defunct smartphone app, Persona O.A.. On its own, it softlocks if executed; It's due to a folder it is looking for that have since been deleted, field/qr/ and field (overworld) data associated with it.

If executed with the correct parameters (via modding), it would display a display box with a image of a QR code and pressing the OK prompt exits it out.

Scrapped DLC

Item Packs

Name	Translation
ハッピーギフト (カット)	Happy Gift (Cut)
当たりの宝くじ (カット)	Winning Lottery (Cut)

There are two unused DLC item packs which do not give anything if triggered. The text is dummied out with RESERVE in international releases.

Special Morgana Car

"PlayStation Store" Special Persona 5 Royal Morgana Car Sticker

This DLC was only released in Japan and Asia if preordered from the Playstation Store and unavailable in America and Europe.

Personas

There exists unused data for DLC Personas Psyche, Psyche Picaro, Orpheus Telos, Orpheus Telos Picaro, and Neo Arsene Picaro. More information on them can be found on this page.

Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight Costumes

Outfit name and attached accessory Moonlight Phones are set, but the outfit is just everyone's Phantom Thief attire, likely as placeholder. It also has a DressTalk conversation, but it's blanked out as RESERVE.

c00xx_177_00

Unknown what this would be, as it never got as far as using everyone's Phantom Thief attire as a placeholder.

Unused Behaviors

Yoshizawa at 2nd Floor Leblanc Hideout

Kasumi (Sumire) actually has animations and behaviors for the hideout on the second floor of LeBlanc which is never seen because she joins your party on the first floor of LeBlanc. She may have intended to be a temporary party member early on before eventually joining for the third semester.

  Meeting

Unused Flags

Yoshizawa also has an unused follower flag, but she uses Ann's animations, thus bugged.

Oddities

Yoshizawa's Name and Codename

Kasumi (Sumire) is internally named Uzuki in some places, like in her battle sprites, all-out attack data, and some confidant data. In two unused attacks, she's named Ikumi and Yayoi (latter blanked out in the international release).

Her codename was originally Clown, according to weapon.pak and Morgana's unused navigator lines for her.

Yoshizawa's Extra Animations

All her unused animations are Ann's, likely as placeholder.

Akechi's Critical Cutin

Akechi (Black Mask)'s cutin uses his prince version's alpha mask. The Thieves Den's gallery image shows the correct render of it.

In-game cut-in (incorrect)	Thieves Den Gallery (correct)

Old Portraits

The portraits of the main characters are redrawn in Royal, but in a few scenes, the original portraits show up.

P3 and P4 Hero Textures

The texture files for the P3 and P4 Hero fought in DLC Velvet Room battles have textures for Ryuji's Persona Q2 costume.

Maruki Palace Flashbacks

When discussing with Lavenza about Maruki's Actualization, one flashback shot taking place in Maruki's Palace is different from what actually happened, seemingly from an earlier version of this area.

Actual Scene	Flashback (in-game)	Flashback Image

And while in another scene, when talking to human Morgana if he's happy with his wish, the same happens.

Cursor in Showtime

Viewing Ann/Morgana's Showtime from Thieves Den, a mouse cursor is shown around the top left corner.

Error in Thieves Den Gallery

Sumire's leotard in the bad ending credits is pink, while in the Thieves Den gallery, as full picture inserts, puts it as blue. This error (or correction, as Sumire's leotard is blue in all of its appearances) is only in the international releases; The Japanese release keeps the pink leotard.

Japanese Release	International

Regional Differences

Like previously, Ryuji's shoes have the rising sun symbol removed in the Chinese and Korean versions, due to its association with Japanese imperialism, but also the icon for almighty skills.

The opening image for the game is colored silver in the international releases while it is gold with slightly enlarged text in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions. The sparkles are also positioned differently.

Japanese, Asian Release	International

The save data icon is a rough sketch of Joker in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, while international uses a (finished) piece of him.
