    Even though it is only an enhanced version for the vanilla version. I still have a wonderful experience after playing this game. Personally, the additional confidants, stories, and features completes the original game, and it gives me more satisfying feeling than the original one. For me, this is the one of the best games I have ever played.

    This game has huge differences between the original, especially to the end. I cried again with the end of my favourite game, hahaha

Royal not only does this without a hitch - but the new characters and story content are some of the best content in the entire game. The new final palace in particular blows everything else in the game out of the water and features what might be the best story arc out of any Persona game. Add this along side all the other gameplay tweaks that make for a more compelling experience and you have a huge improvement over an already phenomenal game.… Expand

    I loved this game to death when it came out and I still do. While it has fallen from its #1 spot (or really just depending on the day), I loved Persona 5 as well but Royal really cemented it as it brought me back to the great characters that inhabited Persona 5.

    Where do I begin with Persona 5 Royal? It's a masterpiece.

    The plot is about a Japanese High School Boy, who you get to name, that has been put on probation for a crime he did not commit. Because of this crime, he is transferred to Tokyo to go to a new school. However, on his first day, he gets pulled into another dimension and gets a power called Persona.

    The plot is about a Japanese High School Boy, who you get to name, that has been put on probation for a crime he did not commit. Because of this crime, he is transferred to Tokyo to go to a new school. However, on his first day, he gets pulled into another dimension and gets a power called Persona. He and his future friends then use this power to become Phantom Thieves that steal the hearts of corrupt adults to change society.

    As for the gameplay, it follows standard RPG format. Combat is turn-based battles where you can use your Personas to attack enemies and exploit their weaknesses for fun combat. The menus for your actions that you can perform are all heavily stylized, which makes getting into combat worth it just to see them. Outside of combat, you live the life of a Japanese high schooler. You have free time throughout the days to hang out with your friends, go to school, work at jobs, or improve your social skills. Doing those things helps you when you are a phantom thief. They can give you special bonuses or abilities that makes your job of reforming society easier.

    In my opinion, this game is worth every cent, probably even more, that you spend on it. I love that the plot gives you a great feeling of actually reforming society and keeping you on your toes for doing the right thing. The combat and phantom thief gameplay are really satisfying and allow you to approach situations in many different ways. The daily life gameplay acts as a nice counterbalance to the other parts of the game and gives you great character interactions and a really good reason to care about the world you are trying to save.

    tldr; the game is near, if not already, perfect and I would highly recommend anyone with a PS4 to get it.    … Expand

    Honestly, this game deserves game of the year.
    You take an incredible game (Persona 5) and essentially turn it into a director's cut with a lot of new content and changes that make the game overall more enjoyable. If you had any issues with vanilla Persona 5, they are most likely resolved in Royal.
    Overall, fantastic game, deserves all the praise it is getting.

Any minor issues I had with the original P5 couldn't have possibly ruined my overall experience with the game, however, Royal manages to fix these minor issues and even adds more to the game.

    Some additions that I feel are noteworthy Include:
    -A new story ark and dungeon after the events of the original game, which gives a satisfying conclusion to the Phantom Thieve's struggles. (You need to meet certain in-game conditions to access)
    -Reworking of previous dungeons and Mementos.
    -The additions of "Traits", which are special passive abilities to each persona, and the "Fusion Alarm" system both add to the already addicting fusing system of the Persona and SMT series.
    - More enemy variety throughout the game
    - Extra challenging bosses that you can attempt to fight and come in the form of "Challenge Battles" in the velvet room. (Most are DLC though)
    - Changes and polish to battle mechanics
    - Faster battle results screen ^^'
    - All new soundtrack arrangements are amazing.

    These are just to name a sum of the additions that make purchasing Persona 5 Royal a worthwhile investment to make for RPG fans : ). I recommend that fans of RPGs play the game on Hard mode to get the most out of the experience.    … Expand

There are so many minor changes throughout the game that make the characters feel more alive, or fix even the smallest issues that I had with the base game, such as completely overhauling the mementos mega dungeon, that made me thoroughly enjoy replaying through the game. If that was all there was to the game, I would agree with many of the people on this website leaving disgruntled reviews that this game is not worth $60 to someone who has played the base game. I think there is some validity in that the game maybe should cost less to those who payed for the base game and that areas like Okumura's palace were not truly fixed; however, the third semester content utterly shocked me in how well both the characters and situations were written. Without going into any spoilers, Persona has managed has managed to make me completely rethink my concepts of Justice and the idea of moving towards the future. Thematically, royal just works. I personally thought the original ending felt lackluster and the characters' behaviors didn't really make logical sense after all they had been through together, but with the changes made in royal, I believe the ending is actually the BEST portion of the entire game now. Finally, I want to end my review by talking about the music. Persona 5 already had an insanely beautiful soundtrack, potentially the best of 2017, had Nier;Automata not also come out that same year. Somehow, they made that soundtrack even better with absolute bangers like "I Believe" in combination with the more emotional "僕らの光." I don't think that this game is for everyone, but I Believe the level of care and quality present in this game is so rare and worth paying attention to that it should shine as the Pinnacle of both modern JRPG gameplay and storytelling. It is not a game to be ignored.… Expand

    The last arc of the story was the best one, somehow beating the last persona 5 arc. It was extremely good storywise, and very emotional.
    It's the best JRPG out there without a doubt, and a must play.

    This game is by far, one of the best contemporary JRPGs of all time. While not flawless (no game is), it is without a doubt a masterpiece. If I had to break it down:

    - Gameplay: 10/10
    - Score: 10/10
    - Aesthetics: 10/10
    - Graphics: 10/10
    - Voice Acting: 10/10
    - Story: 9/10

    The final semester (additional content) in particular is one of the best arcs in a Persona game to date, excellently written, scored and acted.

    Gameplay wise Persona has never been better, with extremely in-depth mechanics that blow many of its peers in the JRPG space out of the water. The One-More system has been a staple of the series for a long time but its never felt snappier and more satisfying to chain One-Mores between all of your party members and power up the final character for massive damage.

    The soundtrack expands on the original Persona 5 score and somehow improves what I would've already considered a 10/10 soundtrack. If another game had just one of these tracks, they'd be standouts, this game has upwards of 20 memorable, and groovy tracks that you'll never get tired of.

    Graphically, I'll break down the aesthetics and performance separately but as an overview, this game oozes style without sacrificing performance. As a User Interface and UX designer myself, its not hard to see how meticulously planned and constructed Persona's menus and HUD is. Sight and Sound form together seamlessly and no detail was spared. From the ways menus are animated, how they blend into gameplay, how they sound, its all some of the best work in any game, period.

    Performance wise, Royal is also extremely solid. I mentioned at the top I wouldn't compare it to the original, but here I think there's some value in doing so. Persona 5 was originally developed for the PS3, but mid-way through was also declared a PS4 title at launch as well. The impact of the game being a PS3 product at heart wasn't as noticeable when played, but looking back now it's very clear.

    Persona 5 Royal has clearly been revamped and built from the ground up for the PS4. Significant benefits like load times, envrionments, graphical improvements and lighting has been made. Textures, models, animations have all been greatly improved.

    Voice Acting is huge for Persona, for those new to the franchise the narrative is typically expressed through animated interactions following an almost visual novel style presentation. I say "visual novel" not as a bad thing however, I believe you'll quickly come to appreciate the efforts being made to keep you engaged in the story being told, with new additions to the dialogue system like the "Auto" mode, which lets conversation flow without any input from the player, I think this is maybe the best implementation of dialogue we've seen yet in the Persona series. On top of those mechanical changes, it's also safe to say the game is now voiced a majority of the time. From just a gut feeling, I'd say around 50% of the dialogue in the original Persona 5 was actually voiced. Here, I'd probably say its around 66%, or 2/3rds.

    Story is the one element of the game I gave only a 9/10, I am someone with a larger experience with Persona games, and since i know the potential of the series, it's hard for me to separate those from my overall feelings. Overall the story is brillaint, each character is well written and well acted, and the major beats will absolutely steal your heart. My only gripes are pacing issues in the middle of the game, a holdover from the original Persona 5 as that had the same issues. I will say that after the dip in the mid point of the game, once the story starts firing off around 60% of the way through, it never relents. The last half of the game is a giant build up all coalescing in the arc I spoke about at the top; the final Semester. No spoilers here, but if this is how the future of the series looks, I am 100000% in.

    So yes, that is my review of Persona 5 Royal. A mountainous recommend from me, will be extremely shocked if this isn't my GOTY for 2020    … Expand

    IMO, literally the best JRPG ever made. P5 was already REALLY good, but Royal adds something that the original lacked, a satisfying ending. The only thing that I think they could've done better was the difficulty, they could've added a harder difficulty, but it's still fine if you don't abuse the fusions.

Even if you've played the original P5, give Royal a shot if you haven't yet. It's totally worth it… Expand

    Original P5 is already a 10/10 and Royal improves on it in every way and fixes almost every flaw with the original. Would give an 11 if it was possible

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is certainly, the best game of the year (for me), even though the major part of the game you already know and already played in Persona 5, it brings new mechanisms and new characters to the story, this makes the game look a totally new one.
    I wish that Kasumi was a playable character (like in Persona 3, that we have a male and a female carather to play,and different characters and stories for each), it would definitely bring a new vision to the game, and explain more of her story (because she have a deep background that could be better used in the game).
    And I have to emphasize the great soundtrack that Shoji Meguro does, it's amazing and complete, I'm a big fan of his work.    … Expand

    Improves off the base game in every way while it does get tiring seeing so much dialogue its fine because most of the time the dialogue is important once again the phantom thieves won me over with this masterpiece of a game and has become my favorite game of all time.

    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.

By then, I figured I'd wait for Royal to come out (as well as the PS5 for a better experience).

    By the time I finally beat the game (110+ hours in - went for the platinum trophy, which can be obtained in a single playthrough with some planning), I was both overjoyed (because this easily toppled both my contenders to my favorite game) and sad (because the journey was over and I would never be able to experience it again for the first time).

    It's not a game for everyone. The pacing is slow, there's a LOT of dialogue and it's a turn-based RPG / dungeon crawler, which are indeed somewhat niche genres. However, if that sounds like something you'd enjoy, by all means play this game. It's one of the most amazing stories I've ever experienced.

    Upon finishing the game, I immediately picked up Persona 5 Strikers - which, despite being a significantly different game, is a great opportunity to get some more time with the characters and the world of Persona 5 that will definitely grow on you.    … Expand

    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

    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

    A beautiful story, a fantastic gameplay , superlative characters but it isn't the best SMT games , it could be the third or the fourth

    Lo descubrí por casualidad, me lo regalaron y no conocía la saga Persona.
    Sin duda es uno de los mejores juegos de la generación, con una gran história, personajes, combates y unos diseños muy buenos.
    Si te gustan los JRPG es un imprescindible.

    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.
