    Honestly my favourite JRPG all time!
    the plot is mesmerizing and has only one flaw: it ends, you wish this game will continue forever!
    Gameplay is a masterful mix of visual novel and turn-based JRPG.
    this game has an amazing cast and you will fall in love for all of them

    Absolute masterpiece! Over 100 hours in to finish and I don't regret any second I pulled into playthrough. Waiting for Persona 3 reloaded!

    Precioso. Hay personajes que se sienten reales y hace un muy buen enfoque en el tema social ya que es bastante serio y el sistema de combate y coleccionar Personas me parece genial. Cada día planeas algo que hacer y el lugar y ambientación se siente como un hogar. Debes probarlo si tienes Game Pass cómo yo y verás lo bueno y hermoso que es

    A Massive Masterpiece This game blew me away!

    Here are the positives. - Style and substance: this game is so stylistic and artistic, it is beautiful to look at.

    Here are the positives.

    - Style and substance: this game is so stylistic and artistic, it is beautiful to look at. Just the menu screen alone makes a statement.

    - The characters: the characters are brilliant, getting to know them all, helping them through their problems, and seeing how their arcs finish is so satisfying, I got misty eyed multiple times during this game.

    - The story: what a crazy story with so many great twists and turns! Make sure you do what is required for the true ending, it adds another 30 hours of content and gives you the best story beats!

    - The combat: I love the combat in this game. This might be the most fluid feeling turn based combat system I've ever played! It feels so good and you can get so much momentum!

    - The game design and mechanics: everything you do has purpose. For instance if you go hand out with one of the other characters in the game and progress their arc you gain perks for combat or access to the side mini games that gives you consumable items for combat. So even your social endeavors connects to and benefits your combat in a meaningful way because those perks come from the fact that your bonded with another character and that is represented in combat dialogue even! It's brilliant!

    Negatives
    - the final boss of the bank palace is horribly unbalanced.

    - the 8th palace is too long and drags on and on.

    - some of the palaces can just feel grindy.

    This game is brilliant and you need to play it! JRPG lover or not! Give it a go it's on gamepass even! Also one more note make sure you get the Royal true ending, it is worth it and gives you way more content, with that special ending expect a 120 hour plus play through!    … Expand

    Best JRPG game since Final Fantasy 7, from the story telling with very personal characters that make you care about then, fun turn-based combats, relationship mechanics, cool artstyle and those music that you will listen to years to come, this game is simply a perfection.

    the Palaces are quite fun to explore, and generally represent a sin in this game, and some of the topics in the game deal with some pretty serious situations, best for you to find out yourself rather than me spoil it.    … Expand

    A fantastic JRPG with lots of mechanics to master. I also enjoy the talking and after school activities as they are a welcome break from the battles. Add the stylish presentation and soundtrack and you have a Game that stands out. It has no in game Shop and is a Single player experience which in my view makes this game also a great fun

    The improved storytelling and the additions Royal has, compared to the original game, is a true gift to all owners of modern platforms. Possibly due to the Phantom Thieves stealing the hearts of Atlus executives, a big audience can now dive into one of the best JRPGs out there, with hours of an immersive story and a refined gameplay that has built onto its past foundations and brings with it the promise of an exciting future.

    Persona 5 Royal is easily one of the best JRPGs on Xbox, which isn’t bad for a game that originally came out in 2019! A perfect blend of real-world shenanigans, mixed with some intense dungeon-crawling sections, and put together in one of the most perfectly presented packages in video games - what’s not to love? Buy it, play it on Game Pass... just make sure you experience it.

    Persona 5 Royal is as close to the perfect RPG as I have played in a long time. Not since the heady days of Final Fantasy VII will a game grip you so fiercely, refusing to let go. It is deep, it is beautiful and it demands to be played.
