    The Pinnacle of JRPG gaming combining the best aspects of a multitude of genres, unforgettably lovable characters and a story that will remain burned in your brain long after you've finished playing. Cannot recommend enough.

    It's only fitting that I start this review, like Persona 5 Royal itself, 'in media res'. The highest praise I can give this game is that, 113 hours in and having finished the game, I'm apprehensive about starting all over again. That won't make any sense yet, so let's start over.

    I adored Persona 5.

The highest praise I can give this game is that, 113 hours in and having finished the game, I'm apprehensive about starting all over again. That won't make any sense yet, so let's start over.

    I adored Persona 5. It's my only platinum trophy for PS4, and I spent 300 hours and five playthroughs to reach that point. Persona 5 Royal is being marketed as a sort of 'definitive edition', so that's the viewpoint I'll be taking for the purposes of reviewing this, as well as it being an excuse to readily point out that I simply can't review this from a newcomer's perspective due to my longstanding fondness for the Persona series.

    The unique feature of current Persona games is its emphasis on interacting with other characters, so let's start there. In terms of improvements, there are a few small details: you can invite people to a couple of new (but ultimately fairly trivial) date spots, a couple of scenes have been very slightly rewritten for either pacing or tonal purposes, and you now sometimes get post-meetup phone calls from the friends with whom you've just been spending time. That may sound unimportant, but it provides an opportunity to boost your friendships more easily, and that's appreciated here.

    The reason for that is because you get more time to discover the entirely new friendships: the two main new characters, Kasumi **** and Takuto Maruki. Both shed new light on Persona 5's slightly one-sided moral debate, and given that progressing these social links is imperative for unlocking the new content in semester three, it's reassuring that their interactions with you as the protagonist make you really warm to them.

    The same can also be said of the third important factor for the new content, Goro Akechi. His social link is completely rewritten now, and if you progress his story far enough by the time the game catches up to the opening, he becomes an essential part of Persona 5 Royal's unique experience. The developers have clearly paid more attention to Akechi because of the fan sentiment towards him from the original, and whether you liked him or loathed him, his new material means you'll be glad to see a whole lot more of him here.

    As well as new characters, there are new areas. The main one that I can touch on without getting into spoiler-territory is Kichijoji, which is unlocked pleasingly early and provides a lot of things to do (Morgana is less insistent on getting your required bed-rest this time around, so you have more time to discover these things). It perhaps feels as though you're a little rail-roaded into getting the most out of Kichijoji due to the benefits of its establishments in Palace exploration, but those benefits are entertaining enough to make me not too concerned about that.

    And while Kichijoji's jazz club has me thinking about music: the new soundtrack is just phenomenal. Although the vast majority of the original soundtrack was excellent, there were a few tracks I wasn't so keen on (looking at you, 'Sweatshop'). The new tracks, however, don't have a single weak spot, and indeed hold some of my favourite songs from the franchise to date.

    Speaking of finding weaknesses, let's also touch on combat. More complaints have been addressed here, speeding up combat tutorials, increasing the viability (and you'll need it) of status ailments, and even improving the fantastic Baton Pass system. There are also a couple of new features within the Shadows you fight to offer more variety, but to be honest, the combat is a case of 'if it ain't broke...'.

    The story, then. It's phenomenal. Though there are a lot of twists and turns, some of which you'll see coming and some of which you won't, they don't feel inserted for the sake of a surprise. Instead, they pull you into a narrative that somehow manages to both escalate and personalise the stakes you're faced with at the end of the base game. It's not just impressive on a technical level, but full of moral quandary and impeccable character development that makes me reluctant to even say that there's a villain for the third semester, only a figure with a convincing moral argument and an extreme stance who is easy to sympathise with and, for me at least, impossible to hate. It's my favourite type of villain: the one who almost isn't.

    So why don't I want to play this again right now? Well, with Persona 5 we rebelled off into the metaphorical sunset and it felt easy to visit my friends at the start of their journeys again. Leaving Persona 5 Royal, the journeys have become longer, more complex, and asked some difficult questions of our heroes. They aren't the same people I encountered 113 hours earlier. They are more three-dimensional, more complete, and more affected, and it's very difficult now to go back to what they once were. In a way, that's how I feel about Persona 5 Royal: more complex, more complete, and impossible to go back from.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Persona 5 Royal is easily the best JRPG out this generation. The characters are mostly interesting and fun. The story is similarly great. The game is an all around improvement over the original in nearly every way. The new palace has an incredibly interesting an emotional story. However, its ending was very weak. The final boss is 3 phases except 2 of them are pretty much scripted. Joker says one of the corniest, most out of place one-liners I've ever heard and apparently Akechi is somehow still alive even though it contradicts the entire final palace. Overall, despite its flaws, its still a great game that I would recommend to anyone. Not just fans of the genre.… Expand

    Игра лучше оригинала по всем параметрам, все изменения отлично смотрятся. Третий семестр сюжетно превосходит первые два хоть и короток. Стоит отметить эмоциональную финальную битву и новые концовки которые ничем не хуже старых. Если вы ещё не играли в P5, то это отличный шанс попробовать. Если вы уже играли в P5, то я думаю уже решили играть или нет.Игра лучше оригинала по всем параметрам, все изменения отлично смотрятся. Третий семестр сюжетно превосходит первые два хоть и короток.

    Persona 5 Royal, a game that I did not know I was going to sink as much time into as I did. I am a huge persona fan, even playing through the first 3 games, which are just persona 1 and 2 yada yada doesn't matter. Point is: I played through all of em and persona 5 was just not what I thought it was going to be.

I am a huge persona fan, even playing through the first 3 games, which are just persona 1 and 2 yada yada doesn't matter. Point is: I played through all of em and persona 5 was just not what I thought it was going to be. Of the new age persona’s, that being 3 and up, I thought that 5 was the weakest link. As a result of which, I was pleasantly surprised by Royal which I think changed alot of what I hated about P5. However, the controversy comes from if these changes warrant a 60 dollar game, and hopefully I will be able to answer that question in this video. As always, I rate my games on a 3 point rating and purchasing scale, and that grade is justified by the four categories of gameplay, art, music and story, with some intangibles thrown in at the end. The gameplay is very similar to that of the first game, with the key differences now being some quality of life changes in the sense of the guns and bullet usage, and morgana allowing freedom. These changes definitely sparked a vast improvement, and while they made me feel a little bit more OP than the first title, but the challenge is still there especially on the harder difficulties and later game content. When it comes to the art, this is not a 10, this is THE 10. This is the poster child for what art should look like in games of this caliber, the art is smooth, beautiful, not overbearing and adds to the ambiance of the setting and characters. So when it comes to the music, there are definitely some changes from the first game. There are more tracks now, and there's a new preemptive strike song called take over, I didn't like it at first to be quite honest but now im in love with it. Last surprise has remained as the main battle theme, for those of you that love the original work. The acid jazz adds to the ambience as well, and its lovely to see that the Persona series has continued that music style. Finally is the story, which is largely the same up until the new added content that you unlock by doing certain social links. The new social links definitely provide really good background, development and depth to the characters, but it still may be the weakest story of the new gen personas. The big controversy of this game is something I want to get to now: and that being if it is worth it being a new standalone title and not just some DLC expansion type. The new thieves den mechanic is alot of fun and great for completionists like myself to get statues and music of the events. The biggest issue with this is that you cant see your friends, so you cant really flex off your work. Besides that, theres the new added trimester which does add gameplay and some new characters as well, but it is very hard to say if it warrants a new 60 dollar purchase.
    After weighing everything, my final consensus is this: if you haven't played the original, this is the copy to get. Its advancements are noticeable from the first work, but if you have you can just watch the new content on Youtube and get the same experience. All in all, Persona 5 Royal was a very enjoyable experience, but the issue of it being a full standalone title remains. Its a solid 8.8/10, and I very much enjoyed it over the original, even if I do think that Persona 4 Golden is the better game all in all.    … Expand

    I loved the characters and went out of my way to build my confidant with as many as I could, every one of the phantom thieves and a few of the outsiders. The battle system is tight and addicting for a JRPG, I won't spoil the story but it involves a major misunderstanding right from the beginning, that makes you want to see it though to the end. It took me about 150hrs to complete it, Even if your not JRPG fan, you will likely fall in love with this game like I did, there really isn't a whole lot to dislike here, if I have to complain about anything it would be a certain collectibles in each palace, they can sometimes be a pain to find and other than an item that carries over a new game plus serves no real purpose. Apparently there was cut content with them and that's disappointing that they weren't able to make it work.
    No game is perfect but there are some gems that come damn close, Persona 5 Royal is one of those gems, I can't wait to see what Atlas has planned next.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Persona 5 is a great game, but Persona 5 Royal really touches up on areas that they really helps improve on the game play. It even allows to have access to some more character interactions then before with previous characters. If you do have a concern if you should play the original Persona 5, you don't need to. If your budget is something you worry about though, you could still go for the first Persona 5, but Persona 5 Royal is just a better upgraded version. The reason I am not giving it a 10/10 is because [Minor Spoilers] they do not really change anything from the first games story except add a new character and change Akechi's confidant from being story progression to doing it in your own time, and this isn't bad, but besides the third trimester, you could just play Persona 5 for the same story and a cheaper price. However this does not mean Persona 5 Royal is not worth it as it has some quality of life improvements and gets rid of some tedious parts from some of the palaces. The inclusion of will seeds was a nice touch palaces and gives you something extra to do, and if you're not a completionist you could just skip out on them, but the skills they give you for collecting all 3 in a palace could be quite worth it.
    -
    Overall Persona 5 Royal is a great game and is totally worth checking out if you're a Persona fan or if you're looking for something new to try. Do note that this game is at least 100+ hours of play time you are looking at so you're not gonna finish this very quickly especially if you're new to the series.    … Expand

    Persona 5 Royal is an amazing game for those who wish to pick up a JRPG for the first time, but furthermore, it's a game full of philosophy, deep narrative, great psychology, and above all, possibly the most beautiful design I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing in a game. It's one of the few games I'd give a rating of 11 to, if I could, but there's still a couple things wrong with thePersona 5 Royal is an amazing game for those who wish to pick up a JRPG for the first time, but furthermore, it's a game full of philosophy, deep narrative, great psychology, and above all, possibly the most beautiful design I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing in a game. It's one of the few games I'd give a rating of 11 to, if I could, but there's still a couple things wrong with the game.

    Now, I don't like giving out 10's willy nilly, but this is definitely a game that deserves it, simply because it has gone above and beyond what I would ever have expected. The Royal expansion adds to that punch, but also somewhat takes away from it.

    My biggest gripe with the Royal addition is that the plot is completely detached from the base of the game, for reasons I couldn't tell you without spoiling, and even then... still couldn't actually tell you. It's very confusing and odd. In prior Persona games, the expansion gives an explanation as to why things are the way they are, why the story began, etc. In Royal, it seems more like a completely different story was attached to Persona 5.

    Don't get me wrong; the Royal addition is amazing and compelling. It's a game you can discuss the philosophy of with friends and even family. The story is deep, riveting, and simply suggests that you ask yourself a variety of psychologically intensive questions, such as the reality of the happiness you seek, among many other things, deeper and not, which I couldn't possibly describe without breaking out into a full-blown 50 page essay.

    That being said, as I mentioned before, it is very detached from the main game. If you've never played the main game, and strictly played Persona 5 Royal, then I imagine you wouldn't feel very weirded-out by this, which is why I'm still rating this game a 10.

    Persona 5 Royal, when viewed separately, as a game which never had a predecessor, is such a stellar game that you'd be pressed to find a fault within it. No character within this story is a Mary Sue, a problem which Persona 4's Golden remaster slightly suffered from; they're all deep and polished, full of viable issues which every person has faced at least once in their lives, of that I'm sure.

    Something I wish to make a note of his how impressive it is that Persona 5 Royal never suffered from any "Mary Sue" within the game. As characters with incredible, society-defying powers, they are immediately placed upon pedestals, capable of being your typical "Hero of Justice" who wishes to reform the world, yet they aren't portrayed as heroes through the player's eyes, but as kids who were dealt a real **** hand throughout their lives, and are trying their best to maintain their composure in a world which has rejected their individuality.

    When it comes down to it, Persona 5 Royal is not only a great introduction for all who wish to enter the world of JRPG's, but it sets a precedent for the future of gaming: This is the kind of story a game can tell. This is the kind of world a player can be put into. With music and video, it transcends books; with gameplay and achievement, it transcends movies; and with story and depth, it transcends a game made just for fun. The fact that this game has one of the most addictive and exhilarating combat mechanics I've had the pleasure of enjoying when it comes to turn-based combat is just the biggest cherry on the top that makes me love this game not just for the story, but for the gameplay, the music, the characters, and you know what? That menu screen, too. I've seriously never seen a better UI for a video game. I genuinely jumped out of my chair in shock when I opened my menu screen, went through the different categories, and watched Joker swinging around.    … 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.
