REIJI💔
I'm starting Persona 1 for the third time with the goal of finishing it. I'm playing Revelations with the delocalization mod.
I have a question about the fifth optional member: I know the optional characters are Ayase, Brown, Elly, and Reiji. I understand that Reiji is the most relevant for the Sebec route because of his connection to Kandori.
My problem is that I realized the steps to recruit him too late, and I'm already somewhat far along, I don't know if too far, but I've put in about 10 to 12 hours.
Naoya is level 25
Nanjo: 27
Mark: 24
Maki: 27
Brown: 26
Is it worth it in terms of the story to restart the game? I don't think I'll have the motivation to play it a second time just for him; I have my limits.
Does it make much of a difference if I have the red-haired Eikichi, or is Reiji the most important character for the story to feel complete?
