Long-time followers of Atlus and the Persona series are already familiar with the game's gameplay and Personas' addition, which help players in battles.
Besides that, you also need to unlock the third semester before you can fuse Maria.
That will also require maxing out your relationships with Akechi and Maruki before the cut-off and leveling up the Personas you will need to fuse.
If you fail to do so, you'll end up getting the normal ending without seeing some extra content from the Persona 5 Royal, which is basically the expanded version of the Persona 5 title.
