    Royal is a huge improvement from the original, it’s got a new soundtrack, the presentation is an improvement from vanilla, which was also top notch by the way, and the gameplay was also improved. They added more things to do in your days off, new characters to hangout with, and the palaces were made bigger and more fun.

It is such a perfect game made with love and care and is right now the highest rated ps4 exclusive of all time. Sega and atlus has given us a game that will go down in history as one of the greatest and best crafted pieces in the medium I can't recommend playing this game enough!

    The definitive JRPG and a must play for any PlayStation owner. Beautiful story, revelutionary controls and a ui so good it inspred the whole smash bros ultimate design. This game adds enough content to justify being a whole new game while also creating a whole new timeline with new characters. If you want to know what that means go and play the game.

    It doesn't matter if you've played the original or not, you need to try this game at least once. It may not be to everyone's tastes, but it's undoubtedly one of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

    Whether or not the new content is worth $60 for people who played the original is subjective, but in my opinion if you liked the original game then it's 100% worth it. If you disliked it or were indifferent, you don't really need to bother as it won't change your opinion.

    If you haven't played the original, this is by far the best way to play the game. The full package is worth well over $60, and offers over 100 hours just for the main story, and an additional 10-30 hours for the new exclusive post-game story. Of course, the original is also there for about $20, and is still an amazing experience. I recomend waiting for a price drop or sale on this version, as you might want to play this one eventually anyway.    … Expand

    Persona 5 was my personal Game of the Year in 2017, and while I was excited to play Royal, I constantly wondered - Can they top perfection? The original game to me was perfect in every possible way, so I found myself wondering if they could truly add a substantial amount of content to push the game to new heights. The short answer is oh yes, they did and then some. The amount of newPersona 5 was my personal Game of the Year in 2017, and while I was excited to play Royal, I constantly wondered - Can they top perfection? The original game to me was perfect in every possible way, so I found myself wondering if they could truly add a substantial amount of content to push the game to new heights. The short answer is oh yes, they did and then some. The amount of new content in Royal is so massive this game almost feels more like a remake/sequel than anything else. So many new gameplay features like a new baton pass system & new types of shadow battles, as well as new cinematic attacks called "Showtimes" with party members teaming up to do amazing techniques. Palaces and boss battles alike have been revised to make some bosses more fun and others more challenging, and palaces more fun to explore with new/redone areas and things to find. New areas were added to the over-world, along with new activities like darts, billiards, and more. There are new confidants to spend time with, and Akechi was turned into an actual confidant giving more substance to his character. The most important new confidant, **** is an absolute delight and was woven perfectly into the story of this game feeling as organic as the main cast. Naturally there's lots of new story added to this game, and where it really shines in a brand new 3rd semester giving you over a month of more time to play. The new semester is the shining beacon of this game to me, massively improving on the original ending and giving us our characters in winter outfits.

    I could go on and on about the things that made Royal even better than the original, but it would be hard to do without entering spoiler territory. In short, there's way more to see, way more to do, and the story content added leaves you even more satisfied than the original. I spent over 200 hours playing this game, and never once felt a drag of replaying something that was the same, because the experience was just that new and different. If the original was a 10/10, and I'm not allowed to give this one an 11/10, then I suppose my final rating is a 10R/10.    … Expand

But it is a fantastic game, and i haven't played a game this good since a while. I loved the story and the characters, and the gameplay is perfect.
    The game is a bit easy if you don't choose an hard difficulty and it is possible to farm in the Mementos, which is not really fun. Moreover to access to the new content you will have to do certains things, and if you didn't know you will miss a great part of the game. But it's nothing compared to all the good aspects of the game ! The content that Royal add is one of my favorite storyline of the game too. I don't really see the problem with the final cutscene, but it's maybe because i didn't played the original game.
    For me, this game is a must play, and now i will try to test the other Persona games to compare them to P5R.    … Expand

How much it impacted me throughout my teenage years and helped me with my struggles? How it expanded my horizons and introduced me to JRPGs, some of my favorite games, Anime and Japanese Culture?... The characters I met in this game, they felt real and very relatable in many ways, they gave me a place to stay and I felt like I belonged somewhere. The things they all go through really hit me right in the feels, I cheered for them and their motivation to keep going forward and I wanted them to succeed because I was a part of them. Now, for the story, the game touches some very serious and dark themes such as abusing the weak, depression & insecurities, greed for power, anthropology and how humans think & act, carving your own path in society, making your dreams come true by achieving them and not giving up, which in my eyes is one of the most compelling & deep stories I've ever experienced. Personally this game really helped me with my social anxiety and gave me the motivation to escape from it, as someone who just became an adult, I finally have a goal in my life. Enough for the story, let's talk about the flawless combat system, which in my opinion is the most advanced turn based game I've ever experienced, from the very satisfying and fast paced combat mechanics to the masterfully crafted animations, this is a very enjoyable game even for those who aren't into turn based games. As for the social simulator aspect, it's my favorite part of the game, bonding with the characters and experiencing their stories, helping them with their problems, gaining new abilities that enhance the combat mechanics, you can definitely see the effort that was put into the game. I also want to talk about the super stylish animations which are very charming & exciting to look at, the art style is the best I've ever seen period, no other game has such style as this one, from the Showtimes, All-Out Attacks, and special abilities to the menus, everything looks absolutely stunning, and even the in-game animations share this "comic book" art style that fits perfectly into the game, aswell as for the music, which is easily the best soundtrack I've ever heard, not a single song that I don't like, I literally listen to the game's music everyday, it became a part of my life. I think this is everything I wanted to say about this masterpiece of a videogame, it's a very long, emotional & unforgettable journey.… Expand

    Wow this game surpassed my expectations, I was pretty nervous for Royal although FES and Golden where an improvement over the original this is easily in my opinion the best re-release ATLUS has produced.

    This game is selling for full price and I can totally see why, this game adds another 25 hours of content which is easily more hours then a new game which is releasing, but they have also improved on the original games content.

    Changing bosses to have new and unique phases although not all have changed, I believe around 8 of the 10 bosses have had some change, 7 for better and 1 for worst. Will seeds are great as they reward exploration with three hidden around the map although they can easily be found (only had trouble finding one). The grapple hook is also a nice addition although you won't be using it to traverse the map as much as I thought, but it will be used for something else a lot which was appreciated.

    Two new confidants and one reworked have been added to the game. Kasumi and Dr. Maruki are great additions to the game having something to do with the bigger picture which I loved and the abilities they give to the protagonist are great which added a new layer to an already complex yet simple game. Akechi's reworked confidant is one of my favorites of the game and will happily do his each time I play.

    The new mechanics which are added during battles do make the game easier in certain ways but also make the battle system much more interesting and strategic, for example the purple glowing shadows which explode after attacking them, you have to decide whether or not you want to unleash a ton of damage on them and possibly not get the persona which you want because the purple shadow damages the enemies around it, I loved that and hope this will continue to be expanded in future persona games.

    Mementos is now actually fun to grind now because of another new character named Jose. Give him stamps have the choice to increase XP, money or items earned. Obviously the XP is the best choice and I found myself leveling up every few minutes instead of every 10+ minutes. Flowers could also be traded in for items which many of these items are useful.

    The new big selling point though was the mysterious third semester which had a whole new palace, boss and many hours of new content. I must say this may be my favorite of what ATLUS has created in the persona series. The villain is great, you definitely will be sympathetic towards that person, probably my favorite villain in the game. There is a lot of twists as well in the semester and I was amazed and open mouthed at a lot of them, it definitely left me thinking and wanting to continue playing the game, I struggled to put down the controller during these moments. The palace as well is great, definitely top 3 of the game in my opinion and the palace theme is great. The puzzles are simple until you get to the last one which definitely will be compared to a certain other in the game, but I liked this one a lot more and felt extremely satisfied when I figured it out.

    Overall this is the best game since the Witcher 3 or Bloodborne in my opinion, it improves on everything ATLUS created in the original version and expands on the games battle system and story. This was worth the money I spent without a doubt and cannot wait to replay the game. For all Persona fans this is a must play before Scramble comes out.    … 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.

    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.
