    Un juego increiblemente bueno, sentí ya un poco inecesaria lo de Maruki pero de todas formas la sentí muy fresca he interesante. Los personajes son unos de los cuales uno se enamora totalmente al instante (bueno en lo personal no soy tan fan de Yusuke pero igual no creo que es un mal personaje).

    Persona 5 was awesome, persona 5 royal is double as that. Honestly it took me a while to buy it since I didn’t plan on spending another 100 hrs in the same game with a little of extra content... but in the end the small additions through the whole game AND the new palace, the new music and the final battles, make it 100% worth it ( spent 120hrs+ in this one since I went for all the trophies

It's a game that you can't miss, and the third semester only sweetens the deal.… Expand

    Persona 5 Royal is(and I really need to emphasize) still a REALLY good RPG and a must-buy for fans of the genre(especially if you played the original). The game's title is exactly what this game is, an upgrade in almost every single way just as its predecessors did like P4 Golden. However, if you played the original and didn't really love it, you're not going to find much else here.

    I'd also like to say that I highly recommend playing the game on the hardest difficulty as the QoL improvements kind of make the game a cakewalk otherwise

    PROS
    - Great QOL improvements
    - Additional story and characters are much appreciated and well-executed
    - One of the big parts of the game is no longer a chore to go through

    CONS
    - Little incentive to play if you didn't like the OG
    - Some to most of the additional story and character content don't appear until the end of the game
    - QoL improvements make vital parts of the game a cakewalk

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Persona!!!

    One of the best games I have ever played and probably the best JRPG game out there, imo. It's not just a repackaged version of Persona with a few more hours of content thrown into it just to make it better. It doesn't stray from the original game but adds upon it.

    Again, you start the game as Joker, leader of the Phantom Thieves of Heart. The game starts you off at Sae's Palace, with the rest of the Phantom Thieves (Ryuji, Morgana, Ann, Haru, Yusuke, Makoto, and Futaba) guiding you to the exit. Nothing too special early on, although the fight scene was shortened. During the escape the game has you use the, oh so satisfying, hook feature. A very welcome addition to the game. You also meet a new ally, although the game doesn't reveal her name during that escape, it is later revealed to be the Faith Confidant, Kasumi (who is really Sumire but I won't go into further details). After fighting alongside her, she tells you to move and she can't really do anything other than stall as she's not a member of the Phantom Thieves.

    Then as you make your escape the cutscene happens, you're apprehended, and then grilled by Sae. "Butterfly" Lavenza floats around and tells you that you have a slim chance of beating the "game". All still very similar to the base game.

    True to the game you meet Confidants. Some become your allies such as the Chariot (Ryuji) to the more of a support in the Hermit (Futaba). There are also others who help in different ways such as the returning Confidants, Takemi (Death), and Sojiro (Hierophant) to the new Confidants in Maruki (Councillor) and Hifumi Togo (Star). Yes, the Arcanas are back with some getting minor changes to major overhauls.

    As I said before the palaces also make a return and a new palace also appears if you manage to follow the criteria to reach the new third semester (more on that later). The palaces too have also been tweaked. New boss fight animations have been added but not so much that it feels completely different from the original game. The introduction of "Will Seeds", although sometimes hard to find is another great addition. I spent a total of about an hour looking at walkthroughs to find where exactly some are located and sometimes can be a bit of a grind to get to but the bonus they give is worth it. The grappling hook lets you traverse places you can't normally reach.

    I mentioned a third semester. Although, I would say probably the weakest part in Persona 5 Royal, it's needed to get the "true ending" as P5R gives you many alternate endings the good ending or the bad ending if you didn't meet the requirements for the third semester. I had to replay the whole game twice as I didn't bother forming a bond with Akechi until it was too late. There is also the good-bad ending, the bad-bad ending, and the true ending. It was fun running around the final palace, taking out shadows, and teaming with Goro Akechi who has abandoned his "Robin Hood" Persona for the darker "Loki" and Sumire **** along with the rest of the Phantom Thieves. I thought that the final boss fight was kind of dumb, especially when Joker has a fist fight with the boss after both had used up their Persona power. I also enjoyed getting the third stage of each of your allies' Persona, when the first stage of an ally's Persona fuses with the second stage. This can only be done in the third semester.

    I was again fascinated with the fusion of Personas. It took hours but I was able to finally fuse for Alice, Lucifer, Metatron, and Satanael. All of which I was lucky enough to get Almight Boost, Almighty Amp, Divine Grace, and Victory Cry passive skills.

    Mementos was also changed. You now have the opportunity to trade in stars to a wandering boy in Mementos to change the cognition of Mementos or trade for useful items. Very useful for increasing exp gain, money gain, or item drop in Mementos.

    Overall, Persona 5 Royal is an adventure that shouldn't be missed whether you are new to the series or have played the original before, there's something for everyone. The replay value is also amazing as the option for new game + is there once you completed the game. Also, if nothing else you can romance a different girl or girl(s) per playthrough.

    Final Verdict:
    Story 9/10
    Battle 9.5/10
    Features 9/10
    Animation 10/10
    Voice Acting 9/10

    So yeah, story and characters are amazing, dungeons are great, and the turn-based system is also almost perfect. There are also some amazing musical themes in the game, some songs are unforgettable. It also has many difficulty settings, so you can play the one that suits you the most, whether you want to just play the story or have some challenging battles.

    As a tiny negative point, I think that the game can feel overwhelming at the beginning. The first couple of hours are very linear, but after that, you are given a lot of freedom, and you may not know what to do. You just have to get used to it... You will very quickly, at least I did.

    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

The best game i have ever played, royal fixes all the narrative issues present on Vanilla Persona 5 and introduces 3 "new" characters (since akechi isn't new but he's really different from vanilla), Goro Akechi and Takuto Maruki, Akechi has a lot more depth and personality in Royal and in fact, holds quite a big importance on the major plot, on the other hand Takuto Maruki is pretty much the best character in the game and the best villain on the series BY FAR, you just can't hate him or help yourself but feel disgusted to fight him.
    Sumire/Kasumi **** was a stunning character, her sweetness and inocence upon trying to be kasumi is really what breaks your heart at the Maruki Arc. And even when she "returns" being Sumire it only makes you want to know her more. Overall Persona 5 Royal is the definition of improving something almost perfect and giving it a new depth and making the characters steal each piece of your heart one by one and to be quite honest, i dont really want it back.    … Expand

    - Long games
    - Anime
    - JRPGs

    I can safely say this is my favourite game since the Witcher 3, and quite possibly my favourite game ever.

    Beautiful soundtrack that will stay with me forever, wonderful characters, and resonant, important messages delivered through the story.

    Just another way for companies to re-sell you a game you already bought. Yeah, it adds some extra content here and there, but it's not like this is an entirely new experience. This really should have been DLC, not released as a new game. At least they charge a reasonable price for admission.

Although the game adds a bunch of gameplay content such as grappling hook, showtime attacks, thieve's den and a more advanced mementos. The rest of the game is pretty much the same. The plot is exactly the same, with the addition of an addition of a brand new arc, party member, villain and palace. The new arc is the biggest selling point of persona 5 royal and it is absoloutly brilliant. The new arc tests your morals and ends the game off in a satisfying conclusion that the original game lacked in my opinion. I generally didn't love how the game ended for the vanilla persona 5, the final arc felt like a stretch to me. However, Royal's new arc completely exceeded my expectation. You shouldn't go into persona 5 royal expecting a brand new experience if you played the original game, but you should instead go in this expecting the same game but better. Also, if you were dissapointed by persona 4 GOLDEN's additional "story arc", because I sure was, you need to know that royal's additional arc is nothing like golden's and this one is much longer and much more fleshed out. I love persona 5 Royal and you should definetly check this game out where you played the vanilla or not. Persona 5 Royal stands strong as my TOP favorite video game of all time, and that is saying a lot.… 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.

    The combat is stylish and addictive, the numerous amount of personas and attacks fuel the search for stronger abilities. the baton pass system and the showtime attacks really keeps you hooked and is very addictive. Find a weakness on a touch enemy, utilising a three person baton pass and then executing a showtime attack is one of y favourite gaming moments of all time.

    The social simulator aspect of the game is great and is well integrated to the combat and story as building relationships with confidants strengthen personas and improving your skills also provide benefits in the palaces and the real world.

    The new content added throughout the original game was just enough to keep things feeling fresh and interesting, despite having played through everything before — and the content added after the end of the original game has been absolutely everything I hoped it would be! I can’t stress that enough. The new characters, the new palace, the new story and situations have all been exactly what I didn’t know I needed and have fully complemented what was otherwise a great game and turned it into, in my opinion, a near flawless experience.

    In addition, the new quality of life features were amazing as well (replenishing gun ammo, grappling hook, better ways to acquire and maintain SP, etc). I can’t recommend this enough. To previous or new players. Well worth your time if you like games that focus heavily on characters and their interactions, story, dialogue and choice, fast, strategic, and gorgeous turn-based combat that somehow doesn’t get old even after 90 hours, and tons of content.

    Durante um "Ambush", o jogo toca uma nova música de batalha, que antes era só a Last Surprise, e essa música nova é tão viciante quanto.
    Todos os palácios foram refeitos com a nova mecânica do "Grappling Hook", permitindo que você vá para novas áreas de cada palácio abrindo mais possibilidades de exploração, especialmente com os novos itens colecionáveis em cada palácio, as "Will Seeds", os palácios também foram refeitos em certas partes, onde você pode ter que resolver um puzzle novo ou passar por uma área com inimigos novos, o que deu um novo objetivo nos palácios além de só chegar até o fim como se fosse um Mementos 2.0.
    Cada boss recebeu rework e deixou a batalha mais imersiva relacionado com o pecado do boss/sua personalidade distorcida, já que agora eles são mais desafiadores e requerem mais flexibilidade da sua equipe pra curar e atingir os pontos fracos, resumindo, a gameplay do jogo melhorou muito, com 300 horas de jogo no jogo base eu achei que ainda ficaria entediado passando por tudo mais uma vez, mas o jogo me manteve entretido até então e não enjoei um momento sequer.
    Além do novo arco com a nova personagem, o Royal recebeu um arco de redenção pra um personagem que foi querido pelos fãs do jogo base, dando mais contexto a sua personalidade e a sua motivação, o que deixou mais claro seu papel na história.
    Os Confidants tiveram suas habilidades de "level up" aprimoradas e em alguns casos, foram refeitas e melhoradas a um nivel extremo (sim, estou falando de você Ryuji), melhorando ainda mais sua gameplay especialmente pela grande diversidade de vantagens que você ganha durante a gameplay tanto dentro de uma batalha quanto fora dela durante uma exploração, e com os novos dois Confidants, só melhorou mais a expêriencia.
    O novo modo "Thieves' Den" adicionou uma galeria pro jogo, onde você pode ver imagens e cutscenes do jogo, além de jogar um minigame divertido de cartas com os personagens jogáveis da história, além de poder colocar a trilha sonora que você quiser do jogo no ambiente enquanto faz algo. Com o novo sistema de "Achievements", você tem um novo objetivo pra jogar 100% do jogo, pra comprar tudo que a galeria tem a oferecer, música, imagens, cutscenes, visual pro seu palácio, é muita coisa pra aproveitar e que definitivamente vale a pena.
    No geral, Persona 5 Royal melhorou um jogo que já era incrível por si só, consertando todos os erros que o jogo base tinha que, apesar de divertido, deixava a desejar em certos momentos, como o Mementos.
    Com inúmeras melhorias de gameplay, história e exploração, o jogo finalmente se encontra num estado perfeito.
    Não mencionei o novo modo "Challenge Battle" e nem as imúmeras melhoras na Velvet Room entre outras coisas novas pois a análise ficaria mais longa do que já está, mas acredite, o jogo COM CERTEZA não é só uma história nova, mas é uma experiência nova e emocionante principalmente para veteranos da franquia.    … Expand

    This might be the best game on Playstation 4! I just can't believe, that I ignored this franchise until now. MUST PLAY!

    This is my game of the year 2020. Easily. And my favorite game of the generation alongside Death Stranding and Zelda BotW. I loved the turn-based combat, the soundtrack, the look, the characters. All.

    As somebody who had previously been very much not into JRPGs of any kind, picking this game up was something I never imagined I would do. But, on seeing some gameplay online I can say it was probably only around several minutes before I was hanging off of every word, entirely engrossed and before I knew it, was purchasing the game on the Playstation Store.

    Having now finished Persona 5    As somebody who had previously been very much not into JRPGs of any kind, picking this game up was something I never imagined I would do. But, on seeing some gameplay online I can say it was probably only around several minutes before I was hanging off of every word, entirely engrossed and before I knew it, was purchasing the game on the Playstation Store.

    Having now finished Persona 5 Royal, I very much find it hard to adequately put into words how spectacular an experience I had with the game. The story was entrancing, shocking, emotional, but most importantly, crafted to perfection. The characters feel relatable, larger than life, they can make you laugh, cry, love, hate, and everything in between. The world in which the game takes place is again masterful, accuracy to real life Tokyo regarding the overworld is impressive, and the various palaces and the Mementos Areas often provoke a lot of thought in how you wish to approach each area/room. In short, The way the game looks, how everything is presented is truly a marvel and is without doubt one of the greatest works of art I have ever experienced.

    I’ve delivered high praise, but I haven’t even managed to discuss the soundtrack yet. Considering everything the game has to offer already being nothing short of spectacular, what really brings everything together is the music. Ambience, joy, anger, fear and any other emotion or vibe one can care to name are harnessed and conveyed in a stunning array of musical arrangements, from vocal tracks to instrumentals, I can not fault a single song in the slightest, I fell for each as i heard it.

    I can’t convey my praise for this game much more than I have done, but to summarise, whether you are a fan of the Persona series, or JRPGs in general, or somebody who has previously never indulged in the genre, Persona 5 Royal completes what was an already masterful work in the original Persona 5, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone who wants to find themselves lost in a game for hours at a time. 10/10, 5 Stars, however one can give the highest praise for a game, this one has it all.    … Expand

    Best turn based combat game on the ps no question no debate. It’s got everything from story ALLLL the way to gameplay, and don’t even get me started on the fancy letters.

    Honestly my favourite game of all time, The Persona series as a whole is an amazing experience that everybody should try at least once.

    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.
