| Summary: | This master's thesis examines how background characters with optional interactions were used to foreshadow the events of the story of the game Persona 5 Royal. The research was conducted with close playing of the game and analyzing all the found conversations that foreshadowed the game's story with formal analysis. During the analysis, it was found that a considerable percentage (23.4%) of the 1611 found optional conversations foreshadowed the game's story, micronarratives, or both, showing that the background characters have a notable role in Persona 5 Royal's writing from the foreshadowing perspective. The research yielded descriptions on the ways background characters have been used in Persona 5 Royal's foreshadowing as well as information on how game writers can use background characters to foreshadow their games' stories.
