    This is hands-down the best JRPG ever made. Everything just works perfectly. The combat, storyline, writing, characters, visuals, art style, music. I wish I could forget about this game so that I could play it all over again. Thank you Atlus for developing this shining masterpiece.

    TL;DR
    I was a huge fan of the original persona 5, and I liked this game a lot, and I think it's a really good game, but I can see where some of the critics dislike this game.
    Still, as a hardcore persona 5 fan i think the good far outweighs the bad, but I can understand why people will not like this game. If you never played the orginal persona 5, and you are into RPG, especially    TL;DR

    If you never played the orginal persona 5, and you are into RPG, especially JRPGs, this is hundred percent a much buy.
    If you played the orginal persona 5, and you loved the orginal game, again a must buy. And if you loved the orginial, (make sure you put the game on hard diffculty)
    If you played the origiinal person 5, and you were more indifferent to it or didn't love it, I would pass on this game.
    Longer review:

    A lot of the negative reviews for this game come from the fact that they didn't feel that this game was worth the 60 dollar purchase after already buying g the original game. There is definitely plenty of new content, new places to explore new things to do. In my opinion, most of the new things in this game doesn't add that that much to the story line; if you are not a hardcore persona 5 fan. Sure you get a good amoutn of new options, but imo it wasn't significant enough for more casual fans to feel like they're playing a different game. Now, tbf, I wasn't super upset at that becuase I really enjoyed the main game but I can see why some people will take issue. One thing I did dislike was imo a lot of the new content made you even stronger, which kinda makes most of the game easy. I don't think persona 5 orginal was a hard game at all, now it's borderline like super easy. I would say it's almost mandatory for a returning player to play this game on Hard diffculty. Now that value for you will ultimately determine your thoughts on the main game.

    On the persona 5 royal extra content, there are some extra content at the end that I really liked, and I really liked how the game ended and stuff. I think these spots were done pretty well by ATLUS. I was glued in the final story moments and thought it was very well done. I won't be more specific because of spoiler concerns. There was a couple spots in Royal that I didn't really like. For example, the new character, Kasumi isn't really playable for tbh a huge portion of the game. and when she was so advertised so hard, I wasn't kinda upset she didn't play a larger role.

    Definitely a mustbuy if you liked the orginal, however if you didn't, you can pass on this one. I can understand why some people would think this game is too similar to the orginal and be kinda upset. I don't agree with it, but I can somewhat understand their view point.    … Expand

    Base Persona 5 was a masterpiece. Not my favorite SMT game, but it's hard to deny what it has done for JRPGs as a whole, with people who've never touched a JRPG in life loving it.

Not my favorite SMT game, but it's hard to deny what it has done for JRPGs as a whole, with people who've never touched a JRPG in life loving it.
    Persona 5 Royal is the better game for sure. Gameplay changes make the combat go from "good" to "addictive". Baton Passes are now its own mechanic instead of being incorporated in confidants, the Will Seeds make the dungeon crawling more manageable, persona traits make downfusing (?) more viable, and Showtimes are just eye candy (especially the endgame ones). They also changed Mementos to be less tedious and samey. There are some touches to the social sim part of the experience, too. There are so much more evening time slots that it becomes hard not to max your social stats by the end of the game, you get phone calls after a hangout, allowing you to get some extra Confidant points.
    However, here's the problem: this is one of the easiest games I've ever played. The only troubling parts are at the beginning, where you're underlevelled, and at the 5th bossfight, where you have to use a strategy to win. Everything else is a cakewalk. I was level 99 at the end of the game unlike base P5, where I was like level 75. I've played the game at Hard difficulty, yet it still felt really easy. Unlike base P5 and even more so P3 and P4, maxing out all Confidants is not only managable without a guide, but even somewhat easy.
    ------------------------------------------------------Third Semester (no spoiiers)---------------------
    Now, the third semester. It's really good.
    It gives me hope for P6, since the story brought up some cool points.
    The villain is really likable, and the final palace is easily the best one (yep, better than the 6th). The puzzles are great, the bossfights are great, the music is great - it's incredible.
    Kasumi is a really great character, at least here. Pre-third semester she's pretty weak and most of her problems are generic. Also "uwu senpai" is really infuriating the 35476th time she says it.
    And Maruki? Well, this one's... up for debate. Just play the game yourself.
    ----------------------------------------------------------Conclusion--------------------------------------------
    Is it worth 60$? Well, if it's your first time experiencing Persona 5, then it's an easy yes. If you're revisiting it? Not so much. While it's still a big upgrade over Base P5, it's still not even close to being a full price worth upgrade, at least in my opinion. The basis of the story isn't changed basically at all, so you still have to go through the same 70-80 hours.
    That's why I give it only a 9/10.    … Expand

The style and the music and the overall vibe of this game are unmatched by anything I have played this generation. ( Ok actually Last of Us, Mario Odyssey, God of War, and hopefully TLOU Part II top this but still, this game is more than worth the 100+ hours!)… Expand

    The upgraded version of one of the finest game of all time; new characters and tracks, improved interactions, better game mechanichs, more dynamic dungeons and even more diversity in casual battles. A brand new game, totally worthly of the expense. Too bad for the "true ending" final cutscene, for me a bit unsadisfaying.

There were often battles in safe mode that were just grindy in a way or straight up annoying to deal with, which if it was in any other mode would be fine, but i wasn't there for the battles. However, every other aspect of the game was enjoyable. If you didn't play the original Persona 5, pick this up, but the third semester only adds a few hours of gameplay. It was honestly disappointing because it really just feels like a dlc except if the dlc character was planted throughout the whole story. I really wish there would've been even a little bit more. The ending is also way more satisfying, as everyone really moves on and goes. If I had to convince someone why to get this over if they were hesitant and bought the original, it'd be for the way things end off. But all of the problems I experienced made a tiny impact considering how good the story is, and the whole experience itself. This is an amazing and i think it will stand the test of time for a long long time. i just hope it isn't milked too much more.… Expand

New characters, fantastic soundtrack, bosses, personas etc. make game even better. More achievements were added and confidant system was improved. More DLC personas were added to the store, and they are fantastic in terms of gameplay.

    I am a real sucker for a well put together jrpg. The game is stylish, but so was persona 5, so no surprise there. The new addition to the story fit in well, and the redesigned palaces were a lot of fun. Atlus would be on point if they would stop making nickel-and-dime style dlc and start focusing more on sequels of their flagship games instead of spinoffs.

Then you get to the gameplay, which is extremely solid, and feels very unique - though it still has the refined quality of a title deep in a franchise. The only complaint I can think of is that it seems a bit easy to get over-leveled or too powerful, to the point where your limiting factor becomes managing SP instead of HP, and you can waltz through most of the encounters.

As a remastered version of 2017’s Persona 5, the Persona 5 Royal in-game experience is vastly different between first-time players and players that have already experienced the original game. For people who have played the original, it’s easy to gravitate towards the new or reworked content because it’s clearly different from what someone might’ve played before. As someone who has played Persona 5, I almost always chose to spend time with a new confidant over a confidant whose story I had already gone through before. Without the cultural capital of Persona 5 — the knowledge of what is new or what is different from before — a new player might not necessarily gravitate towards the new content, which includes requirements to unlock more new content. Players who have played Persona 5 will likely also view the story differently, as they will spend a significant part of the game replaying scenes from the original and thinking about the meaning of those scenes retrospectively. Many of the most exciting moments of the earlier parts of the game were when there was clear foreshadowing to the original ending or even small changes in the details of a boss battle or a scene that had just been slightly reworked. Luckily, both perspectives make for an enjoyable experience. For first-time players, there’s the appeal of having the opportunity to get the full Persona 5 experience upfront. Persona 5 Royal feels complete, while, at least in retrospect, Persona 5 feels incomplete knowing what was to come. However, the previous knowledge gained from the original feels like a crucial part of enjoying the small details, changes, and improvements made. Overall, I am very happy that I played Persona 5 Royal and would highly recommend the game for everyone, especially people who have played the original Persona 5.… Expand

The new characters are absolutely fantastic, and the added story to one of the most interesting characters of the game is interesting enough on it's own to justify this version of the game.

    The game is definitely easier than the original, and people used to the genre should probably play it on Hard mode to enjoy the gameplay more. That said there are a couple of bosses that are shockingly hard compared to the others, but it's not so bad that it takes away from the overall experience.

    New additions such as will seeds and the grappling hook make the palaces flow much better, and the new characters provide added depth to the social sim aspect of the game that rounds off the game much better than in the original version of the game.

    All in all this is a complete masterpiece, and I can't wait to see what Atlus does with the 6th game in the franchise, when they finally move on to a current gen console.    … Expand

    Persona 5 Royal allows players to experience the story they already love in a new way without losing any of the beauty from the original game. New and old characters get their chance to shine through and steal your heart, even the ones you never expected to. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and maybe you’ll even feel a sense of justice for the infamous Phantom Thieves in the end. But one thing you won’t feel is regret in picking up Persona 5 Royal, as it’s truly the best Persona title, if not one of the best video games, I’ve ever experienced to date.

    This is not more of the same, this is not an optional add-on to the original game. This, my friends, is the perfect experience, down to the last letter, down to the last minute. Persona 5 Royal is a Japanese crown jewel.

    All of the new additions and content mean that Persona 5 Royal is a clear upgrade to the original. New players should seek this version without hesitation, although vets may find starting the game over from scratch to be too big an ask. Either way, there’s no doubt that Persona 5 Royal sits proudly on the throne of Peak Persona… or at least it will until Atlus decides they can do even more with it.
