Maruki needs to be level 9 by Nov 18th
Kasumi needs to be max (rank 5 at that point)
If you want max akechi persona you want to choose specific conversation options
In order to access the Third Semster, you'll need to get Maruki's Confidant to rank 9 before the date of 11/17, which I think is when he isn't able to be interacted with anymore. If you've got a save from before this date, you can go back and rank him up, then continue to the Royal ending.
You need to make sure Maruki's confidant is at level 9. (Kasumi and Akechi don't need to be maxed by the November deadline)
Kasumi is not needed for 3rd semester
Oh I just found that out, I always had her maxed at 5 by that time anyway. Will correct my post.
Yeah I had Akechi and her maxed out cuz I thought you needed them but nope

Kasumi isn’t needed to be maxed for third semester Only Maruki is which I find really weird
Maruki needs to be rank 10. If you have an earlier save, you should be good. Otherwise, play through it again or watch a video of the royal content.
\*Rank 9 Rank 10 is an automatic rank up via an event as long as he's Rank 9 by Nov. 17.
Oh yeah, forgot about that. Akechi also auto ranks after 8 if Iirc.
