    La nota que le pondría a este juego se aproximaría mucho al 10, digo se aproximaría porque no creo en el juego perfecto, la perfección es algo imposible de alcanzar y eso es algo bueno ya que gracias a ellos existen juegos como este, y seguirán existiendo con el paso de los años.

Juegos que intentan alcanzar esa perfección con todas las ganas y que se quedan muy cerca.
    He jugado una partida solo, he terminado el juego en 112 horas jugando poco a poco durante casi 4 meses por falta de tiempo. Diría que además de un juego ha sido toda un experiencia, hablaré de sus tres puntos más fuertes. La historia del juego es muy buena, avanza rápido, interesa y te hace seguir jugando, tanto la historia principal como la de cada uno de los confidants, tiene mucho diálogo este juego y está cuidadísimo, se siente natural, las opciones de respuestas en conversaciones son muy acertadas, esto es un punto fundamental para meterse de lleno en el juego. La jugabilidad es adictiva, el sistema de mejora del personaje, no solo el nivel del mismo, sino de ir consiguiendo personas, mejorando relaciones, mejorando las social skills; los palacios son todos muy diferentes, originales, no son mazmorras aleatorias. Tienes mil y una cosas que hacer en este juego, en tu vida de estudiantes puedes hacer un montón de relaciones, visitar muchos lugares y hay muchas actividades disponibles. En tu vida de phantom thief tienes palacios que visitar, los mementos, encontrar personas para ir fusionándolas y conseguir las más fuertes..., es un juego repletísimo de contenido. Y el tercer punto más fuerte de este juego es el que más ha hecho que me haya encantado, y se debe a una combinación de los anteriores. El juego es una experiencia como dije al principio, la manera en la que te mete en la vida del protagonista es increíble. Gracias tanto a los diálogos, historia, jugabilidad, la enorme duración del juego y la cantidad de cosas que hacer acabas teniendo una vida virtual. Acabas queriendo a los amigos que haces en el juego, y tu vida en el mismo, es algo que me ha pasado poco o ninguna vez con un juego, al menos al nivel que me ha pasado con este, ha sido tanto que me ha dado pena de verdad terminarlo, porque ello significaba que mi vida virtual se terminaba y que no volvería a ver a Riuyi y compañía.
    Tiene puntos negativos? Obviamente, como todo. Ahora, importan en algo? No, para nada. Yo no consideré lo del inglés un obstáculo ya que conozco bien el idioma, ahora os digo a todos los que no lo compráis porque está en inglés, merece la pena el juego, no os perdáis esta obra maestra por eso. Si tenéis un nivel bajo de inglés no os preocupéis, el inglés de este juego es muy fácil y básico, lo entenderéis, no dejéis que lo del inglés os eche para atrás.
    Sin duda este juego me ha encantado y me parece una obra maestra, lo recomiendo a cualquiera que no le den miedo los juegos larguísimos, y los diálogos y que le guste el rol por supuesto. Le pongo un 10 porque las notas son de punto en punto y opino que este juego se acerca más al 10 que al 9.

    Good game with a lot of story and some fighting. in my opinion, it's a little too much "bla bla" in the dialogues, making the game feel longer than it is.

    Masterpiece, amazing story with awesome characters. Easily in my top 10 favorite video games of all time. Draw with The Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild for the best game in 2017 for me. Deserved every thing it got the Metacritic score and metacritic user, the open critic ratings and the award it won at the game awards for the best RPG.

    Story:
    The story of this game is actually no joke a thing of beauty. The story of persona games have always been an amazing journey they just deliver the damn best possible "anime-ish" story with amazing twists and moments.
    The story of persona 5 revolves around the protagonist who was framed for assaulting a man for no reason. When in actuality this certainly wasn't the case. I won't spoil the main stuff of the story for you people! The first few hours of the story may not feel masterclass quality but after like 5-10 hours you'll be hyped and ready and so willing to spend all your time on this game because the game's story is so good that it makes you curious with great twists and awesome villain figures, and when I say awesome villains I mean it. The villains are portrayed so well that you literally would want to punish them asap. There was this one villain which I didn't hate that much, he's actually the second villain in the game. I thought he wasn't that hate worthy! Near the end of his palace I found out about something absolutely he did that was absolutely notoriously and enraged me...Then there is that one villain "boy" who I ABSOLUTELY loathed. The game somehow managed to even make me feel some "pity" for him. As you might've guessed by reading the stuff I said that the game actually handles its villains masterfully. The true and canon ending of the game is super satisfying and the bad ending is actually trash. I recommend you definately do the true ending because it the canon one(thank God).

    Characters:
    The characters in this game are amazing and absolutely amiable. They are portrayed so damn well. There is not a single main character who I can hate, might've hated Ryuji at some moments but I like him as a whole in the game. Their voice acting is just uff I can explain how excellent it is, it is simply ineffable!! It sounds so damn good like so damn good, the English version and Japanese version both but I believe the English version is truly the superior one. The protagonist of this game Joker(Akira) is truly an amazing character. He is my second most favorite persona protagonist right after Door-kun(Minato/Makoto), his costume is so damn sick and he actually speaks plenty in the cutscenes and during gameplay that it feels very great to me. His signature persona Arsene is cool as heck...I had the DLCs so I actually mainly used Izanagi, Asterious and Messiah later on I started using other DLCs legendary personas. I actually heavily recommend the DLCs.
    The confidants of the characters are actually quite lacking if compared to the previous personas. There are no actual confidants for Akechi and Sae Niijima they just automatically level up through the story. The best girl Makoto Niijima actually has quite possibly one the worst confidant in the game, her confidant literally focuses on her talking about a girl named Eiko and stuff.The confidants don't express the character's as much as the the games predecessor persona 4 did. The confidant part is not as cool which I would love to see get improved in the Persona 5 Royal
    ➡️ Favorite male character: Yusuke Kitagawa
    ➡️ Favorite Female character: Makoto Niijima

    Gameplay:
    The gameplay is turned based combat which feels better then ever here. It is so damn improved and well that I who didn't think would like this type of gameplay much ended up liking it a lot..
    There are features when you knock all the enemies down, you can choose either to hit them with an "all out attack" or to loot them, you can also make them submit to you and become on of your persona. The soundtrack that plays during the regular fights, "life will change" is soooooo damn good to listen to. It is such a catchy song! The gameplay includes a new feature which give you the ability to use a gun which is amazing an helps greatly. The overall layout during the battle sequences is the best it has ever been and is amazing in general.

    Verdict: Persona 5 is one of the best RPGs out there and it takes you on a long amazing journey. There is a **** ton lot of content here and if you got the platform to play it on trust me this is a MUST PLAY!

The game's mechanics work on a linear timeline, so paths have to be taken, but plaything through it again is hardly a chore. I've heard that the translation is lacking by friends abroad, but that doesn't affect me since I don't speak Japanese anyway.

    If I had to have one gripe, it would be with the notion that you can't take screenshots or video clips unless you are streaming to YouTube and then download them after the fact. PC ports obviously don't have this issue, but still. I wasn't too pleased with the idea that I couldn't take and share screenshots.    … Expand

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

It's a powerhouse of a game that leaves an impression that I haven't forgotten, two years on. The sheer amount of content and the quality of it is jaw dropping. The writing is as amazing as it comes. A beefy, engrossing story that delivers intrigue and entertainment in equal measure. The game also is filled with some of the best characters I've ever interacted with. The characters are so well developed and each comes with an arc that helps to truly connect with them. Visually, it's stunning with a gorgeous style and the U.I. of all things is god-tier. The voice-acting is great and the soundtrack is one of the best games have ever seen! The gameplay is also so damn good. Refined, turn-based combat mixed with tons of flare and strategy at times. You've also got a whole other segment where you develop relationships and improve your stats in the regular world in order to strengthen your combat capabilities which is a fantastic feedback loop between gameplay and story. And, on top of all of this, the game is a linear campaign with around 100 hours of content. So, yeah, it's pretty wild. Complaints are minimal like a few difficulty spikes but this game is just so damn good and deserving of all the praise it's received! Definitely check it out!… Expand

The plot is also outstanding. Although the game may be +120 hours, you will enjoy the story if you stick to it. Battle mechanics are also very easy to get used to and incredibly fun.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this game, between the dungeon crawling, stealth, and everyday life this game is perfect. This was first Persona game and it most definitely won't be my last.

    There were a couple small problems with the game that I got annoyed about when playing it. First off, was the save room distance in some of the later areas. I would get 1 more'd by a new enemy and die and be nowhere near a safe room, therefore having to backtrack for a little. my second problem was with the villains as the story went on.

    My thoughts on each:
    Kamoshida: This guy was horrible because it felt personal to me in the game and my friends, so I thought he really was evil and enjoyed taking him down
    Madarame: The game was telling me he was evil but I din't really feel it even after I had dealt with him
    Kaneshiro: I was just kind of dragged into this without feeling like he was evil at all

    This continued to slightly bother me, but I enjoyed the game nonetheless.

    El sistema de combate es buenísimo, y el hecho de que dispongas de tantas combinaciones de personas y sets de habilidades hace que te obligues a ti mismo a farmear personas y mejorar sus sets de habilidades para encontrar tu acompañante perfecto.

    Lo único que extraño un poco es algún tipo de minijuego cuando te encuentras explorando la ciudad (exceptuando el baseball y el minijuego de pesca), pero no es algo que empañe la experiencia de juego, ya que a medida que vas explorando los distintos barrios de la ciudad, vas conociendo a distintos personajes que harán que el juego se vea más real.

    No es necesario haber jugado a ningún otro Persona anterior para poder disfrutar de este juego, por lo que no hay excusa para dejar escapar semejante obra maestra.

The style of this game is wonderful, the Personas are all very unique and interesting along with all of the party member from the phantom thieves. The voice acting in this game is wonderful (Both Japanese and English). The characters are all charming and love able, especially Ryuji. I found myself wanting to spend the most time with Ryuji and building up the confidant ranking between me and him. Speaking of spending time in this game, there is so much freaking stuff to do within the real world when not at school or inside a palace. You do have to carefully decide how you will be spending your time during the day though since there is only so much time in a day, and later on depending on confidant rankings you can unlock ways to have more time in a day to do certain things, and when your not in the real world you'll be invading the palaces in the game, which are a persons distorted heart and desires and they are absolutely wonderful and very creative, from invading a castle, to a bank, a Egyptian tomb and more. You can also spend your time in a world called mementos which is the everyone in the city of Shibuya's distorted hearts and desires which is comprised of randomly generated levels that are a very good way to grind to level up your party members.

    An amazing JRPG with a flawless story. Definitely a game you will adore if you play games for the adventure. But even then, the gameplay is excellent. A game that any gamer should try at least once.

    One of if not the best RPG I have ever played. It has an incredible story and memorable characters that had me hooked for almost 200 hours. All of this with an incredible art style and music.

    Persona 5 is the most attractive JRPG in the recent decade. I have never seen such fashionable design of user interface, color, music, and the actions of characters in other games.

The core gameplay experience of RPG is the cultivate of Persona, with a system of full interest and complexity. The experience fighting with the enemies using the Persona cultivated by yourself was wonderful. Along with the processing of the game, you have many options to interact with other characters, such as outdoor playing, watching movies, shopping, sending gifts. You can hepl them, solve problems for them, become their true friends and find their hidden stories. The process is absolutely additive. The length of the main story is over 80 hours filled with enjoyment and surprise. Regretfully, the gameplay in later game period lacked polishment more or less. The repeating maze design made me really upset. But this is the only flaw I could find in P5. It is an amazing game for almost every single person.… Expand

    La música maravillosa, la presentación hermosa y el gameplay dinámico sobrellevan el videojuego en su totalidad de una forma que rara vez vemos en el mundo de los videojuegos.

I don't really know what else to say except that this is a must buy for anyone who has ever breathed. the opening can be slow (as it is a jrpg) but if you stick with it, the game becomes a beautiful piece of art. thank you Atlus for the best experience I have had while playing games. MY PERSONAL FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME.… Expand

    In short, Persona 5 accomplishes two things: (1) it re-imagines turn based combat and evolves it to be fun/fast/stylish/and strategic in todays's modern gaming landscape, and (2) it delivers a unique story that is aimed at mature audiences with well written characters that are believable and fun to befriend throughout the course of this 100h+ journey!

    This game is just incredible from start to finish. The gameplay mechanics have taken the turn based JRPG to another level. The music is the best i have ever heard in any game. The graphics, artwork and anime scenes are incredibly done. For me this is the greatest game i have ever played and I cannot wait to jump back into it come March 2020 for Persona 5 Royal.

    Persona 5 is an absolutely amazing game that convinces with its art style, music and story. It has anything one could ask for such a game and more. The turn-based battle system offers a wide array of opportunities. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is definitely recommended to give it a go.

    Persona 5 beats every other turn-based RPG in terms of production values, combat, story, symbolics, character design, music, pace and variety. 2017 is a great year for gaming and Persona 5 confirms this with a load of unmatched swagger.
