    Well, in terms of the story and characters it's like a typical jrpg. This game doesn't have impressive writing or something. But it's really fun and long game.

    Not a bad game at all though Overreliance on Disc Reader can be a bit of a problem.

    This game is pure perfection. Everything is done masterfully. It has the best characters I ever saw on any kind of media, the art style is the best one I saw, the soundtrack is perfect, and the story is divine. It's the best ps4 exclusive, by a mile, and also the best game I played (tying with p5r, p5s, p5d, p3d, p3fes and p4g). Yeah, I really love this franchise.

    El mejor juego ''exclusivo'' de Sony junto a Bloodborne. Lamentablemente Playstation tiene secuestrados juegos como Persona5 en los que no invirtiò dinero para su elaboraciòn y solo aparecen en la consola porque ''si'' y que ha pagado para mantenerlos ''exclusivos'' una practica muy común de esta marca que no ha aportado absolutamente nada a la historia del video juego.

    El videojuego brilla en todos sus apartados, personajes interesantes, estética genial y una historia realmente buena(no mejor que la del 4) pero muy buena.
    Espero que llegue a otras plataformas este gran video juego y Sony abandone sus practicas que hacen daño a Atlus y otras compañias.    … Expand

    It's a game that you can play just by purchasing PS5 and becoming a plus member. I can't believe such a great game.

I can't believe such a great game. I've never thought it was a hassle because it's a fashionable game that eliminates the annoying parts of an RPG game as much as possible. The BGM and the game system are very interesting, and you can gradually improve your status through studying everyday life, relationships and hobbies, you can enjoy the future that changes because you have improved it, and the story is suspenseful but fantasy. It's devilish, spiritual, or fun with settings like those found in funny anime and movies for adults and kids alike. It's like a dream that you can do such a wonderful thing just by buying a PS5. If you haven't played, try it. There seems to be a separate full version, but I was happy with this alone. The full version is what I heard from people who played that new characters appeared and only changed a little.… Expand

    Play Royal instead as the improvements are worth it, but it's an astoundingly good game once you can get past the length.

    WOW just WOW

    No wonder everyone said its the best JRPG currently. I've always felt skeptic about Persona game but turns out its such a great experience that I have so far with JRPG game. Music = Way too great to as its make the game more dynamic and alive. My favorite is when you play on Nijima palace. Its just a perfect soundtrack Story = Decent, just good.

    Story = Decent, just good. Quite a shock to learn Akechi true identity.

    Romance = Amazing, they execute it very well and give us player freedom as every girls character in the game are able to be in relationship with us. Futaba all the way, never cheat on her.

    Combat = Great just great

    Conclusion = way too many to talk about persona 5 as its just a perfect JRPG although mona tends to get annoying as sometimes I can't do anything for around 3-5 days straight and Mona keep telling me to sleep. But that's it, the downside of Persona 5, the rest is legendary.    … Expand

Yes, there are a few bugs here are there, but nothing game-breaking. Usually minor visual glitches.… Expand

    Love the Persona series, and 5 did not disappoint. Colorful cast of characters, excellent Persona compendium per usual along with great gameplay and plot. Had so much fun playing this and the dialogue between characters is hilarious. Also enjoy how you can build relationships with people.

    One of the best JRPG's of all time. Persona 5 was the first JRPG i have ever played and i F**KIN loved it. I played Persona 5 Royal more but i would recommend Persona 5 Royal AFTER playing Persona 5 because you will notice the changes.

    Obra maestra engancha de principio a fin buen, sistema de combate buena, dificultad, jefes y mazmorras interesantes, un elenco que sin duda no deja indiferente y una historia perfecta, es uno de esos juegos que debes jugar al menos una vez en la vida.

    I am not a big fan of turn based rpg's so I was very hesitant to play Persona 5 but I decided to take a shot and download it. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Nearly everything about persona 5 floored me, from the beautifully designed palaces, to the wonderful cast of characters, to the flashy, turn-based combat, to the best ost in a video game ever. I felt every second of my 80 hour playthrough was well spent and I was tearing up at the end, not because the ending was sad, but because I was sad that I wasn't going to spend any more time with the characters I loved in a world I truly cared about. Persona 5 has a few minor problems, but they don't hold the game back from being one of the best I've ever played. Can't wait to play persona 5 Royal when persona 5 is no longer fresh in my memory.… Expand

    This game is a huge inspiration to me. The brilliant artwork and music are the perfect topping for the extremely enjoyable story and gameplay. The rpg elements are so smooth and fun, with the quick load-times and extreme customizability. The characters are all great, which is important because the whole game is based around the characters and their struggles. Overall a must play for any rpg fan.

    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.
