BONUS POST: =======

Warning! This post will be heavily in-depth and very technical!

So, to pose a question, why do Chests in Persona 5 Palaces provide multiple items while Mementos Chests only offer one?

The answer is, surprisingly, related to how the game loads Mementos Field data and search objects ( i.e Vases, Piggy Banks, etc ).

Every Palace field in the game points to one Entry in the data tabble FLDOBJFLAG.FTD, a file that specifies Chest ( or "TBOX" ) contents for one field. Every Entry has 10 Subentries for Chests, with each having 6 Item slots.

Additionally, most Palace field's binaries ( .FBN ) contain a chunk to set the position and appearance of each Chest in that field.

Critically, there is no I.D system in either of these files. The game strictly relies on numerical order to determine which FBN Entry is tied to which OBJFLAG Subentry, with FBN Chest #2 being tied to OBJFLAG Subentry #2 and so on.

This system, while functional in the small scale, immediately presents issues when you consider that Mementos is randomized by chunks!

Now the normal system requires a workaround to be able to function without having a definitive way to match chest #'s with OBJFLAG Subentries.

ATLUS's solution to supply items when the conditions and environment are randomized is to exploit their own previously-built systems that supply items at random. Namely, Search Objects.

While Chest contents in Palaces is entirely deterministic, Search Object contents ( or "TBOXRND" ) is only partially so.

Similar to Chests, every Palace field in the game points toward an entry in the data table DATTBOXRND.FTD, a file that specifies what item sets can be found in Search Objects on that field. Interestingly, every Entry has 4 Subentries with each Subentry containing 10 potential Items.

Every one of the 10 potential choices per Subentry comes with an Item ID and the Percentage Chance in that Subentry for that Item. So, in the screenshots above, any Field pointing to TBOXRND Entry #3 with any Search Object using Subentry #0 has a 60% of an Amethyst and 40% of an Aquamarine.

Every Search Object is manually assigned in scripting what Subentry out of the 4 to use.

Notably, however, the struct of TBOXRND entries means only one item can be obtained per Search Object.

And this is where ATLUS's solution and technical limitations come to play. Mementos Chests never reference OBJFLAG at any point! Mementos fields are, instead, assigned a TBOXRND Entry to utilize for both Search Objects AND Treasure Chests. ( Side Note: Search Objects in Mementos are these small diamond cages. )

Mementos therefore utilizes the Subentries as follows:

Subentry / Set #0 is used for Locked Chests

Subentry / Set #1 is used for Regular Chests

Subentry / Set #3 is used for Search Objects

And there it is! Mementos Chests only provide 1 Item due to a technical limitation with the Search Object system.

That concludes the Bonus Posty, plz give me internet points and I'll see you very soon.

random thought: since p5s was an action game and if atlus does another (megaten based) action game, why not have a new raidou kuzonoha game?

it’s already an action series with real time battles. sorta like p5s, you can do physical and gun attacks and the npc characters fight independently
