Atlus released a FAQ earlier today to address the most common questions levied at Persona 5 Royal alongside a few new screenshots. Among them, the question of "Will this release on platforms other than the PlayStation 4?" popped up to which they answered that they currently have no plans to do such a thing. This is significant as to my knowledge, this is the first time they've actually addressed head-on the fact that a mainline Persona game is exclusive to PlayStation instead of skirting and dodging the question. Looks like they're really doubling down on mainline Persona's exclusivity especially when you take into consideration that a question like this had to be addressed in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section indicating there's clearly a demand for it which makes me wonder if there's any sort of PlayStation exclusivity clause in place keeping it locked to that ecosystem.
Obviously this doesn't rule out the base Persona 5 game coming to other platforms but it looks like P5R will be locked to the PlayStation 4 a la P4G and the Vita. I personally don't really see the point of bringing over the base Persona 5 game to other platforms now that Royal exists - especially at full price - considering how much of an upgrade Royal is over the base game.
