    Save your money. The gameplay is just the old persona 5 but easier, the graphics are barely different, the new parts an characters (especially the new party member) are about as well written as twilight, and it is only one palace longer than the original.

    The Royal is the opposite of that. The Royal is 'safe'. Every new addition feels like it was it was decided by a room of directors based on what would be popular and not make anyone mad instead of making changes to make the game better. The new gameplay isn't better, it doesn't add something you may have to learn or takes practice or strategy to pull off, it just lowered the games difficulty like this version of the game was aimed at a younger audience by adding stuff like adding new buffs and making crafting items easier. Many of the game additions are just silly minigames and art improvements that are OK but nothing special and feel like they were added to pad things out. The new characters are safe having bland designs and not being very rebellious (except the antagonist, but even he would have been a good guy if he wasn't so forceful and asked before he used his powers on people) and the old characters all have the blandest reactions like the writers were scared people would call them OOC if they did anything new or unexpected. The new palace added at the end feels like it would have been a generic filler episode or arc in an anime instead of being the new finale of a game's remake. The Royal is just P5 with silly additions and an identity crisis and I am disappointed.    … Expand

    While this game does fix some of the issues with the original, like fixing exploits and having Morgana not keep you inside as often, most of the changes are entirely cosmetic (like new character portraits and more dynamic menus) and many issues like storyline issues, sections of palaces that were annoying, and bosses that are spammy or take forever to beat are not fixed. Most of the additions to the game turn out to be filler with things like characters that don’t effect the storyline and a new palace/semesters that you can literally skip and are things that have been over exaggerated by the advertising (the new semester is only a month long, the new party member is only on the team for the optional part of the game, the preexisting characters other than Akechi get very little new content other than the showtime feature and new dates).

    So overall the game isn’t worth a purchase to most fans, even if it wasn’t as expensive as it is. Maybe you could buy this in a few years when the price is more fair for the amount of content you get, but by then Atlus will probably remake P5 again to squeeze a little more money out of fans.    … Expand

    In comparison to the original game...

    Pros: - Gameplay and quality of life improvements are added - New art (like character portraits) and graphic upgrades are added - New sections added to old dungeons to keep things interesting for returning players and new locations are added to the city - Fixes some word choice in dialogue and updates fonts - A new month of the game, including a new    In comparison to the original game...

    Pros:
    - Gameplay and quality of life improvements are added
    - New art (like character portraits) and graphic upgrades are added
    - New sections added to old dungeons to keep things interesting for returning players and new locations are added to the city
    - Fixes some word choice in dialogue and updates fonts
    - A new month of the game, including a new palace is included - New confidants and arcana are added and Akechi is now a proper confidant


    Cons:
    - Old save data from the original will not carry over
    - New month can be missed if you don’t do specific confidants. I recommend looking at a guide.
    - The new characters have almost no development outside of the new month (the month you can skip)
    - The new content has almost no baring on the overall story outside of changing the ending
    - The new party member is only on the team for the new month and then leaves at the end of the game
    - Gameplay is polished, but old plot holes are untouched - Only 10 to 20 hours longer than the original game
    - Expensive and has a lot of DLC
    - The new ‘true’ ending doesn’t tie up loose ends and seems to deliberately leave several things unanswered as hooks for spin-offs
    - Sexy Playboy Bunny Shiho is now a thing (eww), yet the English version has some minor censorship of other scenes later in the story
    - Since Kasumi and other aspects of Royal don’t seem like they will be in Persona 5: Scramble, the upcoming sequel of Persona 5, this game may not be canon (but it is unknown right now).

    So the cons outweigh the pros, and that isn’t even talking about personal choice like if you like the new characters or not. While the game does have good aspects, playing the original is better.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. More like “Persona 5: false advertising edition”. Seriously, almost everything said about this game is a lie or stretched truth or abusing misleading wording to trick people.

    You see the girl with the red ponytail (Kasumi is her name) that takes up more of the cover than the mascot? The girl who is the main focus in almost every piece of advertising? - Ha, she is barely in the game! She’s in the main storyline but doesn’t really interact with anybody other than the protagonist and Goro and only joins team only after the original story ends in a section that only has one palace and only happens if you to max a certain characters confidant before a certain date.

    The advertising also brags that the game was 30% bigger and too big to be DLC. That’s a laugh. Yeah, the file size of the game is about 30% bigger than the vanilla game, but the actual game is like 15-20 hours longer if you include the unlockable new palace. Most of what makes it bigger are just more images and higher quality images/textures, including things that nobody cares about like changing the hotel where you name the team which is a location you only see one or twice and isn’t important at all.

    This is supposedly the ‘polished’ version also fails to polish the game:
    -The story sections, other than cramped in additions, are untouched outside of slight wording choices instead of actually fixing issues with the plot or characters. The ‘polish’ outside of gameplay is almost exclusively minor graphical changes like more bloom and characters busts turning their heads more in portraits as if that is what gamers care about. The only aspect of the story the actually try to play with is Goro. They try to develop him but since the game’s main storyline requires him to wear a facade it most becomes fangirl fodder. Also, instead of tying up loose ends (without going into spoilers), they end up creating a new one by making what happens with Goro more ambiguous and creating new unanswered questions regarding what happened to him. -Gameplay ‘polish’ consists some changes that are mostly just padding the palaces with new parts (if you took out all the extensions, you could have made a new palace and had something else in the stupidly short new semester) and changes to how weapons/guns upgrade and refill as if they wanted players to be able to auto-rush most of the game instead of making the gameplay more engaging.
    -And despite this being a version of a game on the same console that is supposed to be enough to warrant buying the game again, they fail to let you carry over from the vanilla game. While you get a starting bonus from having a save from the vanilla Persona 5 , it is a small one. Prepare to mash the X button through confidants you have already done because you are going to have to do it all over again and refuse all of your old personas.

    This game gets a hot 0 from me because there is no reason to play or buy this game when the original is better and still available on the same system.    … Expand

    A sad remaster that fails to fix issues with the original like the frustrating airlock puzzles, the lack of development with many cast members, and slog of an ending and instead adds a personality-less new girl, a sloppily written new palace and ending, and an ugly new opening number. Persona 4 golden did everything this game does, did it better, AND was a port to a portable system.

    There are also some long boss fights at the end that get boring.

    Persona 5 Royal starts off with a blast, I genuinely thought I found a potential new favourite.
    But as soon as the intro sequence is over, the game stops being a game and starts being a book.

    you can basically put the controller down because you're in for hours of written dialogue, this is about 70% of the game, you're basically spending 100 hours reading a collective 500 page book, and if thats not all, this book is poorly written on it's majority: the dialog is corny, some scenes are pointless and add no new information whatsoever, the characters usually explain in excruciating details every unimportant thing that's happening, and the same information gets repeated and churned over and over, the game is treating you as if you're stupid.

    When you do get to actually play, it's thrilling at first roaming through Tokyo and exploring the various activities, which are basically mere cut scenes that boost your social stats, but mid way through the game I had already maxed my stats and found myself in a sisyphic cycle passing the in-game time by sleeping, waking up and brewing the occasional coffee for a total of around 70 in-game days, that's a LOT of wasted real life time.

    Infiltrating palaces is over simplified and becomes a mundane task after a short while.
    The graphics are shamefully outdated and resemble Nintendo 3DS graphics, the animation is minimal and awkward, the characters basically look like lifeless puppets.

    The core story and battle system is where the game really shines:
    The battle system is intricate and lets you expose and take advantage of enemy weaknesses and is overall very polished.
    The core story is amazing despite it being littered by the above mentioned flaws, dealing with very mature themes, it has you take against the evildoers of the world, with climactic twists and epic boss fights
    The characters' voice acting is eccentric in a very anime-like way, making the cast of characters very likeable.

    Overall Persona 5 Royal is mostly a mediocre and passive experience, if it was cut short leaving only the meat I'd say it's a worthwhile time investment but it certainly doesn't deserve the 130 hours it demands.    … Expand

    It may be almost the same game and the veteran might have to replay the entire game to access the new features (the could have been a DLC), but this game is still a complete standalone package. 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.
    Summary:
    10/10 if reviewed just for its game, a must play for all new comers
    5/10 if you are burnt out from P5, might just youtube it.    … Expand

It takes whatever was good about persona 5 makes it better and removes minor hindrances present in the original game! The added content and the life quality change's will make your journey playing with the phantom thieves fresh again! GO BUY NOW YES?

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).

    the pacing in the game is really bad especially which **** morganna limiting your action in early game, the character that appear here also almost not interesting for me it's just like all of my friends are **** with really bad character development especially morganna and ironically some of minor character in my social link are better than my main party social link even the silent protagonist which designed to not have actual personality is kinda **** now like he confused between supposed to have personality or not at this rate i can even say persona 1 is better in story and character aspect, the story ? **** man boring as **** i just play one route and after that decide to watch youtube about other ending and not have motivation to play NG+.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. --- MAJOR SPOILERS FOR VANILLA PERSONA 5 --- MINOR SPOILERS FOR PERSONA 5 ROYAL ---

    I can safely say that if you aren't a diehard fan of the original, you WILL be disappointed by Royal.

    STORY AND CHARACTERS: Whilst the overall message and scenario of the third semester is better than the base game, it does nothing but muddy the original's, which is pretty bad considering that you still have to "play the original" (80 hours of the exact same thing) to even access that story. It doesn't fit in at all with the rest of the game. It also makes things incredibly confusing in regards to Mementos - none of which is really explained in-game. Half of the dialogue in the third semester is unvoiced, which is stupid because a lot of dialogue from the original was voiced in Royal. The new final boss is atrocious. The first phase of it is way too easy - and the only actual gameplay you will see throughout the entire finale. The second phase is near-scripted, and also pathetically easy. The third phase is completely scripted, over-the-top, retarded and predictable. The "fourth phase", if you wanna call it that, is another boring interactive cutscene, this time with animations that make you wonder how this game got a single positive review. How the **** did they **** it up so bad? Jose and Maruki are... whatever, but Kasumi is god awful. She is just shoe-horned into every bloody scene in the game and is played up to be a perfect person, just to be brought down with a boring plot twist meant to make you feel sorry for her (i.e. meant to make her the canon romance) . Akechi's new confidant is good, but for some reason all of the scenes where you would automatically rank up in vanilla are still there... why? They feel very out of place now. The "twist" is also now even more obvious than before. His role in the third semester is cool and funny, but just a fan-service thing. No substance beyond that. The new true ending is better than the original, but is still dead and emotionless. None of the game fixes any of the story or character (cough Haru cough) issues with the original, not even Morgana's stupid tantrum. It only serves to further convolute the already questionable story of the original.

    GAMEPLAY: The new gameplay additions are fine and all, but they don't mean anything, because both P5 versions are ridiculously easy. Had the game been actually retuned around the Will Seed accessories, Baton Pass changes and Technical changes, then they would have had some substance. Money and XP grinding is easier and more accessible now than ever, even though it didn't need to be. It is easier to max out all confidants and social stats on your first run of the game. None of the bosses are satisfying to beat or anything, because there is zero challenge. Almost all the palace layout changes are dumb, because every single one makes them shorter and easier than before. Shido's palace needed to be a little bit shorter though, so that one is fine. Almost every major boss change in Royal is a negative, like what the **** Kamoshida's now has Morgana shouting at you every turn. Madarame's makes the fight way too easy now. Kaneshiro's makes the Piggytron phase repetitive and tedious, and the new phase is just a check to see if you have Dormina or Lullaby in your party. Wakaba's fight now drags out for 10 years between ballistas, for some reason. Not gonna talk about Okumura's new fight. Sae's changes are meaningless. Shido's changes are the only good ones, because it makes the last part somewhat of an actual challenge. Cuphead is unchanged, for some inexplicable reason.

    I had another large section about other miscellaneous problems, like it not fixing the bad dubbing, but that exceeded the character limit. At the game's very core, it fails to deliver on any meaningful aspects like gameplay and story, whilst not even making an attempt to improve on what made the original so bad. And then ATLUS have the gall to charge $60 for it, with another $60 of DLC on top. What a joke.    … Expand

    The game sucks, it’s 130 hours long as 110 of it is old content but it’s being rereleased for $60, it’s basically a scam.

    Persona 5 2016 is masterpiece by default. Royal sets the bar over the base game to the ultimate JRPG of all time even higher.

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. Seguid bajando la media si queréis pero no vais a cambiar lo que es Persona 5 Royal, una obra maestra incontestable y atemporal que ya sólo por lo que ofrece a la industria del videojuego se merece el 10 sobradamente. A falta de ver el resto de promesas de este año y aún siendo una reedición, podría ser el GOTY de 2020 y no pasaría absolutamente nada. Un juego que ciertamente no es apto para todos los gustos y en el que hay que leer como nunca lo hayas hecho, pero si consigues pasar esa barrera te robará el corazón.

    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.
