Between dungeon crawls, you socialize with your party and other NPCs to increase your character’s skills and camaraderie. In this dream-like realm, the Phantom Thieves explore dungeons, battle enemies, and steal the “hearts” of corrupt teachers, politicians, and public figures for the betterment of society.

In Persona 5, players control Joker, the leader of the mysterious Phantom Thieves vigilante group.
