    Definetely one of the best things that happened to me in my life. Not sure why Atlus doesn't want to share this masterpiece by translating it to languages other than English and Japanese and porting it to platforms other than ps4, but so it goes. Definetely a game you don't want to miss under any circumstances

    Persona 5 royal is a masterpiece that no Gamer should ever miss. The art, the style the combat system, and all those Awesome Personas are just epic, I used to say that ff7 was the greatest rpg ever made ,but Persona 5 is my new #1 on my list of greatest game's ever created. A must buy.

    This review is aimed at the veterans of the original game but, a comment for those who never did play the original: BUY THIS GAME. The original was easily one of the best RPG's to come out in the last decade and this version only makes the game better. However, how much enjoyment will someone who played through the original once or twice since it came out 3 years ago?

The original was easily one of the best RPG's to come out in the last decade and this version only makes the game better. However, how much enjoyment will someone who played through the original once or twice since it came out 3 years ago? In a word, ALOT.
    Starting with probably the biggest addition to the game, the new character, Kasumi, and the other new confidant, Maruki, are very big additions that both go towards the new 3rd semester that unlocks after the main campaign is completed. No spoilers, but the biggest disappointment to that is Kasumi is not playable until that point, which is already about 100 hours into the game. Both new characters are introduced during the main game but have very little impact outside of a revised cutscene at the beginning. For people who played the first game a lot, it can be a bit disappointing to know that you have to complete the game yet again to see anything from the new character and how she performs, but it's all worth it once you finally get to the new content at the end. The game does just enough to keep you aware of these two characters and with their respective confidant paths throughout the original story, to make sure their impact is felt in a big way once the new semester starts. And the new story elements in the 3rd semester are very well done. Its not the most original idea I've ever heard of, but it works well in the grand scheme of things.
    Outside of the new semester, the new area, Kichijoji, is probably where you'll spend the majority of your time outside of the original locations. The addition of the darts and billiards bar as an element to increase a few now very important battle mechanics is smart and keeps things fun. It also includes a Jazz club to give your teammates a bit more moves to select from to increase their combat capability.
    The battle system has had some tweaks that work out well in the end. Technical damage and the baton pass are much more important mechanics this time around as some of the personas had their weaknesses taken away and this is the only way to down them for extra damage. Combined with the new Showtime attacks, the battle system feels a lot more fluid and makes a few old mechanics mean a whole lot more now.
    If Persona 5 was one of the best JRPG's in years, then this game only serves to make it better. Atlus does a fine job with these updated games, starting with the P3 game for PSP and P4:Golden for the Vita. This is no exception and something that I can recommend for literally anyone who enjoys JRPG's even in the slightest way. Even long time fans of P5 should find a ton of enjoyment from this. I really hope that Atlus will continue to use Kasumi as canon for the entire storyline going fowards, as I really liked her and the story they came up with for her. For anyone who might be stuck at home right now and not have anything to do, the 120+ hours this will take to complete should be an absolute godsend right now. And a special comment for how easy this game is to Platinum. One playthrough doing everything right will get you the Platinum trophy for this easy. I didn't have to go out of my way to get anything done that I wasn't already doing and, if you take the confidant paths correctly, you'll have tons of time to get them all done towards the end of the game.    … Expand

Updates to the battle system such as Baton Pass and bullets that regenerate after battle are a godsend and make the resource management of the game a bit less frustrating, only becoming a real problem at the beginning of the last palace in the game. 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

Un juego que para mí no es perfecto, que podrían mejorarse ciertas cosillas como por ejemplo más interacción en algunos eventos, “social links” que fueran un poco más allá, un “true ending” algo más emotivo, un ligero aumento de la dificultad ya que en esta versión con tantos cambios en el sistema de batalla se torna algo más fácil (subsanable aumentando la dificultad). Son cosas aquí y allá de la que no se libra ningún juego pero que por pedir que no quede. Pero luego ves esa historia y el mensaje que ofrece, su magnífica expansión al final, el elenco de personajes a los que se suman dos grandes incorporaciones y su profundidad narrativa, la inmersión en su mundo, un sistema de combate pulido hasta lo enfermizo, la colosal banda sonora, todas las mejoras y añadidos en TODO (no son precisamente pocos los retoques y ajustes de la versión Royal). Ves todo ese mimo y esa cantidad ingente de mejoras respecto al Persona 5 original que aunque no sea perfecto (repito que para mí no lo es, ningún juego me lo parece) se me caería la cara de vergüenza ponerle un suspenso a un juego que podría perfectamente luchar no por uno de los mejores JRPG de la historia, sino de los videojuegos en general.

    Changes start FROM THE BEGINNING. The whole game was enhanced, with many smail details that players that enjoyed the vanilla P5 will notice and love. They even took the time to make characters that didn't seem exist till their arcs appear in some interactions before. You will see them at school, or even walking behind you when you eavesdrop other students when going to school. Did any of those that complain notice it? Probably not, but it's not a game for such people. The amount of detail this game has is something that overcomes their capabilities.
    The whole game is a piece of art. Musically awesome (some new songs here too), visually better, now characters have more portraits showing different expressions, new and expanded confidants, cutscenes, activities and places. Some UI tweaks, multi language for people that can't speak English (or Japanese). More Personas and Arcanas. Existing dungeons and bosses had some changes to make them better.
    Mementos, which got tiring in the original game as it was too dense and always the same, now was revamped too with many updates, it's actually fun going there! Even the title screen is so much cooler now, the inclusion of the thieves den to have some ingame achievements to unlock and check other stuff like in Persona 4 Golden.
    What people complained about so much was solved: Morgana is not bothering you every night telling you to go to sleep which lets you do more activities at night!
    Also the English translation had some text tweaked for the better.

    It's not for everyone, it's a text heavy game and I understand that some people with short attention span won't like it, but it doesn't make it bad at all. It's a masterpiece. It's Stylesona Enhanced.

    Royal has literally changed my mind on P5. Completely. As in, it’s now my #1 Persona game, dethroning P4: Golden (which I never thought would be possible).

    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.

They take certain elements of RPGs and make them more prominent. For example: In many RPGs and certainly turn based RPGs, elemental weaknesses exist but exploiting them is almost never necessary. The enemy that is weak to fire will also die equally effectively through weapons but NOT HERE! Persona 5 heavily rewards the exploitation of enemy weaknesses and preventing enemies from exploiting yours. This makes every battle strategic. There are, however, some negatives.

    First, even for a Persona game, there is way too much dialogue. You are a saint if you read all of it. Luckily, this can be essentially skipped by pressing the start button. Characters tend to say the same things again and again and literally nothing of note happens without a dialogue between the characters. I mean if you are in a dungeon and you see a locked door, this will prompt a multi paragraph discussion on the door being locked and you needing to find another way. This is intolerable at times, especially when all you need to know is that the door is locked.

    The time between targets/missions is also atrocious. This is the time when most of the story advances but it is so tedious to just go through meaningless dialogue that can easily be reduced by 95 percent and still get the point across.

    Now, on to the story. The story is pretty good and rewarding. You feel like you are accomplishing something as you play the game. This is important because in today's stories, it stands out. Consider something like God of War where the entire story is get from point A to point B with your son while you bond. Great game, overrated story. Similarly, Persona 5 has a great but often overrated story. It's a good story with some nice twists but nothing to write home about. Again, it is good considering the current landscape of games.

    The characters: The characters are certainly a low point in Persona 5, if we are being honest. If you have played other persona games, you will see very clearly that virtually every character in Persona 5 is a derivative of characters in other persona games. One of the low points of Persona is that in every game the characters are the same. You have a rough around the edges bad boy type who uses lightning magic or sometimes fire and is something of an outcast. This is your main attacker. You have a girl who uses fire magic or sometimes wind and is one of your healers. She is the bubbly popular attractive girl archetype. You have the best friend archetype in all these games and you have a mascot type animal character as well. Specifically with Persona 5, I found the confidants to be lackluster and uninteresting as compared to confidants from persona 3 or 4 (3 had the best confidants). The villain is obviously the villain as soon as you meet him and the game treats it as some form of surprise.

    Overall, the game is fantastic and Persona 5 Royal has a lot more than the first game. The thing is, however, that Persona 5 Royal is substantially easier than Persona 5 Regular. This is because of some of the additions to the game that make combat much easier like the Showtime attack and the fact that baton passes can be done right off the bat. Certain elements of dungeons make it easier to conserve HP and SP. This works well in a remaster but is not great for a base game. Irrespective, if you have not played the first version, just play this one to get the most out of the story and gameplay.    … Expand

    Is Persona 5 Royal enough to justify purchasing a game fans have already played? Yes. The amount of change brought to the title is significant, and it all feels like a marked improvement. For a game that was already one of the best JRPGs in recent years, Persona 5 Royal is a follow-up that cements itself as an experience well-worth repeating in lieu of a proper Persona sequel

    I'm only through the first portion of the game and the QoL improvements are awesome. So far from what I can tell this is just a better version of an already almost masterpiece level game. Will update review when finished with the game.
    Update: its my favorite game I've ever played.

Perhaps one of the after summer palaces is a bit annoying (don't want to spoil anything), but still, it's an almost perfect game, a game that I recommend not only to JRPG fans, I recommend the game to everyone! Yeah, it's long, very long. But is that bad? It would be if it became tedious at some point, but for me it doesn't...

    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.

    I don't know, this game is almost flawless, one I will never forget.    … Expand

    But besides the fact that it is easier, it also requires a lot less work to actually complete the game, to my experience. That's because Mona doesn't demand us to sleep too often anymore and Confidants rank much faster, again, to my experience. Currently I'm at Second Palace and Ryuji is already at Rank 7 (out of 10). This makes the game a lot more fun in my opinion, because it gives a larger sense of progress and you can enjoy much more gameplay in the first playthrough compared to Persona 5 Vanilla.
    Really, to anyone who still was on the fence of buying this game. Royal is the way to go for you. And to anyone who wants to play this game again, the gameplay improvements are very welcome additions which make a replay much more fluid.    … Expand

At no point was this game designed to be sold to people who already played P5, it is our choice to do so and there is no room to complain if you did.
    A fair and unbiased review can only mean this is a 10/10 game for most people, for its style, its story and its characters.
    This is not a game for you if you don't like
    - a huge ton of dialogues, I'd say about 30 hours worth
    - extremely slow pacing at the beginning, serving to introduce the player into its settings
    - dating multiple girls at once and then having to pay for it
    Despite being a 10/10 game for me there are things that bother me personally
    - At its core the battle system does not scale well and lacks the depth necessary for endgame. This causes the player to be vastly overpowered towards the end of the game
    - Ranking up confidants doesn't allow you to be..you. The answers always need to be positive to increase those notes, certain times where I couldn't resist giving that fun answer results in 0 points added

    Now to people who platinum-ed P5 and are hesitating:
    Yes, in my opinion if you beat P5 on NG+ then this might be quite the commitment to replay the same game again just to access 20 hours. The new content is extremely well written and houses a beautiful palace, yet I will be bold to claim it's not worth it if you were burning out on the second playthrough. I personally did not look forward to having to go through the space ship again or even the pyramid, it just all feels so recent despite being 3 years ago, because P5 simply left that much of an unforgettable impression to me.

    10/10 if reviewed just for its game, a must play for all new comers

    Spoiler-Free Review

    Intro

    Persona 5 Royal is a remake of the popular JRPG from 2017. Built from the ground up to work on PS4 unlike the original that was built with the PS3 in mind, P5R grabs the core concepts to try to build up to something greater than the original. While some might see this as a cash grab, is Royal able to stand on its two feet as a worthy addition in the franchise?

    Story/World Building - 3/3

    The story stays largely the same until the last 20 hours or so with minor script fixes and story elements, which are put in to help the new segment flow better with the rest of the story. Nothing feels unnatural with the new changes. Everything is done for the betterment of the game and I would have not noticed anything was off if this was my first time experiencing the story. It can get a bit boring and long-winded if you played through the story before but this depends on how much you care about fixes and the new story being presented. It turns a great story into a better one that is worth your time even if you have played the original.

    Gameplay – 4/4

    The new gameplay addition is where Royal really shines. The overhauled baton pass system makes fights quick and snappy. Exploring palaces is more fun due to the addition of Will Seeds - collectibles scattered throughout that give out great items and abilities to use if you find all of them. Mementos is even overhauled with the addition of collectibles that help give additional boosts in XP, items, and money, making Mementos exploration more fun than it has ever been. New side activities like playing darts to level up baton pass stats, going to the jazz club to get additional abilities, and going to the temple to meditate to gain more SP are all welcome additions. A game that gives you so much to do, you won’t see it all within one playthrough. You are also given more time to do these activities with the addition of not having Morgana tell you to go to sleep and the addition of 2 more months of game time added to the overall package. You can take breaks from the main game with the immensely fun addition of the thieves den, which allows you to hang out with your follow Phantom Thieves, playing card games, look at concept art, mess around with player models and customize your own palace. More stuff is unlocked through achievements made within the main game, adding more time and replay value to the game. The gameplay outshines the amazingly fun and additive first outing, making for a game that goes above and beyond in areas that I thought could not get better.

    Technical/Performance – 3/3

    Graphics fidelity upgrades are present within the game but some might not notice just casually playing through it. It looks as clean as the original with a few tweaks here and there to spruce it up. The real amazing technical achievement of Royal is its soundtrack. I love the music in the original but the new tracks outshines those as well. P5R is a highly polished technical marvel, especially when compared to other RPGs on the market.

    Verdict

    Persona 5 Royal is arguably the game Persona 5 should have been in the first place. I can understand that the PS3 did limit what they could do with the title but this is still a $60 re-release of a game that already on PS4. If you’re a huge fan of Persona or never played Persona 5, I can’t recommend this game enough. It’s almost flawless in every aspect and it’s a crowning achievement for what RPG can be. For everyone that does not fall within those two categories, I recommend waiting for a heavy price cut. I still would recommend this game to anyone who played the original but not for a full 60 dollars. I honestly gave the original Persona 5 a 10/10 and if I could give Royal a higher rating I would.

While it's not a huge upgrade I anticipated it to be, Persona 5 Royal is a damn great package for newcomers, but can be quite a task for newcomers. But personally, I loved almost every moment with the Phantom Thieves again, and with the newcomers. Congrats Phantom Thieves, you've stolen my heart.

    After beating original Persona 5 three times and getting the platinum trophy, I was curious to play an updated version of Persona 5 and after playing Persona 5 Royal I think that is safe to say that Persona 5 Royal is better than the original in my opinion, because it feels like your playing an entirely different game with two new characters, a new palace, updated gameplay, and new music.After beating original Persona 5 three times and getting the platinum trophy, I was curious to play an updated version of Persona 5 and after playing Persona 5 Royal I think that is safe to say that Persona 5 Royal is better than the original in my opinion, because it feels like your playing an entirely different game with two new characters, a new palace, updated gameplay, and new music.

    Just Imagine you're out there. Raising your voice against liars. Persona 5 Royal is my favorite game of all time. I loved Persona 5, but Royal captured my heart. For me, there was no experience ever like this for me and it took my heart, figuratively of course.

    Original Persona 5 was already a fantastic game, but Persona 5 Royal made a step even further by adding tons of new activities. 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.

    Esta fue mi primera experiencia con la saga Persona; y la verdad mejor impresión no me he podido llevar. Batallas desafiantes, narrativa bien construida, personajes complejos, un sistema de progreso "social" novedoso, y un "simulador de vida real" que es el verdadero núcleo del juego. Atlus se lució con este juego, y me tiene ya re-jugandólo por segunda vez (ya llevo más de 200 horas).

    Easily one of the greatest games ever made. It doesn't really have any flaw, everything is not just excellent but stylish and unique. Joker automatically becomes an all time best videogame character. Royal just expands the greatness. If you haven't played it, I don't know what you're waiting for.

    Persona 5 Royal takes everything the original game did and improves on it, while providing fresh and new content for returning players. 2 New confidants, new palace, new characters and hangouts make this such an enjoyable experience, and while I'm about 40 hours in writing this, there's an additional 20-30 hours of new content waiting to be explored at the end.

    The True Persona 5 experience. But if you played the normal version, this is not worth ur money.

    One of the best JRPGs I've ever played. P5 was very good, but P5R surpasses it. Must play!!

    Truly an incredible game. Improves on the amazing original game by a lot. Quality of life improvements all around. The new palace is the best in persona 5 aswell. It also changed the base game enough to warrent a full replay of the game, despite me playing it only a couple of months before royal came out.

    If you were a diehard fan of the original or someone who has never tried persona before you should definitely get it but if you have played persona 5 before then you may not want to get it as it adds a couple of things on top of the story, an extra dungeon and new characters, so if you don't want to spend 60 bucks and a 100+ hours on a game you already played then this may not be for you.

    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.
