    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!

    A game that doesn't respect the player's time. A game where almost every woman is sexualised without any reason, while pretending it's part of a reasoned character development choice. A game where every dialogue is so padded to the point you will dread the dialogue scenes. There are redeeming qualities, but overall, this is a highly overrated game.

    Maybe I'm a bit unlucky in the very last days.. but I clashed into Japanese games made with (usual) obsessive care and cleanliness.. but again as for Shin Megami Tensei V and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 I felt so much boredom into lifestyle game parts.. very colourful and innovative actions but, at last, a pain for my eyes..

    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

    Combattimenti a turni molto ricchi a livello strategico e buon gameplay.

    Ottimo il modo in cui la storia si dipana, dalla regia ai dialoghi.

    Purtroppo il gioco ha un'enorme parte da "simulatore di vita", in cui il giocatore è costretto a sorbirsi interminabili, noiose e tediose attività (del tipo "riordina la camera", "leggi il libro", "va a correre con l'amico"), che diluisce drasticamente la parte più interessante del gioco, cioè i dungeon (chiamati qui "Palazzi"), e il gameplay vero e proprio.

    Insomma, si attendono a volte ore nella speranza di poter iniziare a giocare, ad esplorare un dungeon.

    La mia valutazione è soggettiva, e, pur comprendendo che per molti questo titolo possa essere un capolavoro, purtroppo il genere da simulatore di vita è per me molto pesante, insostenibile.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have a love/hate relationship with this game. First the good things. It has fun game mechanics, creative art style, well written characters, good music, and pretty good voice acting,

    I'm neutral on the story. It was sort of interesting but ultimately ridiculous.

    But what really drags this game down is that it doesn't respect your time. It can be extremely tedious. There were several long (hour+) sections of story exposition where I felt trapped. I wanted to take a break from the game, but I couldn't because I couldn't save.

    *Spoiler Alert* And then there is the way the game ends. Or actually the way the game doesn't end when it should have. I have never played vanilla Persona 5, and I suspect this problem might be unique to the Royal addition. But I've spent the last 5 hours thinking this game was about to end. I beat the God-like boss, and it feels like the game should have ended there or shortly after. But it doesn't. It just drags on and on. And now I'm suddenly in an alternate reality where Morgana the cat is now my big brother, and there is a new palace to take on. But I'm not interested in continuing.

    So I played this game for 100+ hours, and now I'm quitting it early. I loved half of it and hated half of it, and I don't have the will to see it through to the end. And I may never play another Atlus game again. There is a lot to love, but it isn't worth the aggravation.    … Expand

    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

    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.
