    Persona 5 is a fantastic JRPG. It is full of character and from the first hour it had already "Stolen my Heart"! (Sorry...)

    Wow, just Wow. I never Thought a game so dialogue heavy and story driven could get me so attached.

    If you find yourself feeling like an overpowered god in "Royal", just give this game a shot in Hard Mode. Now this is the true "OG" of a good challege. No more added benifical effects to help you. Would reccomend to "Royal" players.

    Best JRPG there is. Sets the barrier high on how an JRPG should be these days. If there is a single thing to complain about, then its the missing fast forward button sometimes I cannot skip some dialogues fast enough, what can be tiresome when you played to game through a couple oft times.

    Persona 5 does such an exeptional job in so many areas that it feels sad to give it anything other than 10, but I have to, simply because the story and characters are above everything else in jrpgs for me. There is a ton of text in the script here, but it doesn't translate into vivid, emotional experience.

Persona 5 does such an exeptional job in so many areas that it feels sad to give it anything other than 10, but I have to, simply because the story and characters are above everything else in jrpgs for me. There is a ton of text in the script here, but it doesn't translate into vivid, emotional experience.

    Persona paints beatiful picture, but it paints it with style, brave (but smart!) use of colors, themes, transitions, it does try to be clever or funny with its text, but more often than not it doesn't work all that well, perhaps the translation is weak, but I don't think it should take all the blame.

    And for every thing it executes with brillance, you can find it equally as boring and unimaginative at times. For example: every single time you make a new social link, you get the scene with your interrogator asking you about said connection, it's boring, always the same and serves little purpose other than reminding you about that part of the narrative, you literally know what's going to happen and what will be said, is there any worse sin in a storytelling?
    Not enough for you? How about Morgana telling you that need to sleep almost every evening, pissing you off because you wanted to actually do something with your time (this is largely fixed in the Royal).

    Exploration kind of begs for a bit more too, interaction is limited and areas are usually very small.
    Huge part of dialog choices contains literally three versions of what is essentially the same statement.
    Well, there is a lot stuff like that.

    But Persona 5 still managed to steal my heart.
    I can't recall any game with more style.
    Music is fantastic, batlles are fun and its easy to sink in this world for long hours.
    Maybe that's the problem too, Persona wants to be as long as possible and it certainly manages to do that. The question is, does it compromise on the quality because of that? I think it does.

    If you never played it, I would pick Royal edition, it adds a lot of neat things and about the only con I can thing of is that it seems less challenging, but that's only because you have so many options to improve here.    … Expand

    This is a must play game, it is the first turn based RPG that I played and its art design and style is captivating. The story is so unique it really gets your head spinning at times.

    I have played this game after release and I am considering the time it came out and the current price it is sold at. This game being so cheap honestly makes it an amazing value and the price would be my biggest reason I would recommend this over p5r but if you do have the money p5r is like a semi remaster with a little more content that should've been cheaper.

    Love anime Stories w/ super powers?
    Have 100 hrs?
    Then this masterpiece is all yours.
    i fell in love with the cast of Persona 5, its music its world and everything it had to do. As you can tell if a game keeps you playing it for 96 hours(for me) of main campaign then you know its a good game.

    UM JOGO DE NICHO QUE DEVERIA SER APROVEITADO POR TODOS

    JRPG's não são exatamente a minha praia quando se trata de jogos de vídeo game, sou grande fã de animes, mas jogos de RPG japoneses nem sempre conseguiram me cativar, e confesso que nem sei o que me atraiu de antemão a dar uma chance a Persona 5.

    O Título merece aqui ser elogiado, porque é um jogo "de nicho" que entrega uma enorme experiência ao ponto de valer a pena viajantes de primeira viajem em Persona, como eu saírem com a impressão que depois de uma média de 100 horas de gameplay, ter em mente que esse é um dos melhores exclusivos de PS4/PS3 (apesar de rolar boatos que possa sair a versão Royal para outras plataformas).
    Falando do Jogo em si, ele não é perfeito, a grande "falha" dele é ter um ritmo muito desacelerado no começo, e isso até tem um motivo, porque a gama de mecânicas que o jogo apresenta, que é vasta, precisa de uma introdução para que o jogador possa chegar a um ponto de fazer toda essas opções estejam familiarizadas para saber onde quer focar, quais excluir, sim, pode se terminar o game completamente ignorando algumas mecânicas do jogo, como ignorar alguns confidents, mas aviso que é completamente não recomendado, o jogo tem muitas formas de se jogar e cada uma tem sua recompensa e utilidade no jogo todo. Persona 5 tem uma história excelente, mas algumas vezes no final, se vê repetindo várias coisas que o jogador já ta ciente do que está acontecendo, o que mais me deixou entediado quanto a isso são as imensas conversas de grupo dos Phantom Thieves, o grupo acabou de sair de um Palácio, que são as Dungeons do game, e conversa sobre tudo que acabou de ocorrer, isso se torna massante, especificamente para quem joga em Pt-Br lendo uma tradução em inglês, porque por melhor que você seja em traduzir, o jogo vai te deixar cansado de ler algumas situações redundantes, isso particularmente é o pior aspecto do jogo, saber que a História é espetacular, e ter que dispensar alguns momentos por em pleno 2017, época de lançamento do jogo, o Título não ter no MÍNIMO uma tradução em Pt-Br.

    Desvantagens já faladas, vamos a tudo que o jogo faz de melhor, que não são poucas coisas, a começar pela história, que evolui de forma que pensa se em um primeiro momento que se vai ser clichê adolescente, mas além de abordar temas polêmicos como depressão e assédio, consegue entregar plot twists justificáveis, enganar o jogador e transformar tudo que ele tá pensando sobre o enredo algo que ao seu modo é bem orginal, em tudo do Design criativo de cada persona (ou Stands kkkk) aos personagens, que são todos carismáticos e absolutamente todos tem uma história que vale a pena ser ouvida, falando em ouvir a trilha sonora desse jogo é impecável, combina do mesmo jeito que Gustavo Santaolalla faz com The Last of Us.
    Quanto ao gameplay, nem me lembro da última vez que joguei um RPG de turnos que não tenha sido pokemon, e posso dizer que o estilo foi bem elaborado aqui, não é de nenhuma forma entediante e sua mecânica é algo que realmente vicia, testar e construir builds é onde parte do ouro desse game se encontra.

    Por fim, não falei nem 25% de tudo que esse jogo apresenta, a única coisa que eu posso falar é que se você ainda não jogou Persona 5 pode ir sem medo, principalmente em sua versão Royal, apesar do que eu não gostei pesar no que eu procuro em um jogo nesse tipo, são apenas gotas em um oceano de Masterpiece de jogo.

    Nota: 9.0/10    … Expand

    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.
