    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

    Haven’t finished this game yet but I can already tell it’s a masterpiece. So happy it’s on Xbox and Switch now! I hope Persona 6 is on both at launch, spread the love Atlus! 10/10

    the best JRPG I've probably ever played. It's a long haul but boy is it fun. The cast of characters is going to be hard to top in the next installment.

    Thoughts-
    Honestly, you couldn’t go wrong with Persona 5 Royal on any platform. The game itself laid down the gauntlet, actually. Persona 5 Royal’s theme song, Colors Flying High, ends with the phrase “green or blue, red or white, you can’t lose with your colors flying high.” And so it is. Whether you play it on Xbox or PlayStation, Switch or PC, Persona 5 Royal is an utter masterpiece, and you’re in for one of the best games ever made no matter how you choose to play it.    … 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

    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.

    This is an amazing game to play for hours and hours. Soo much story, dialogue and great mechanics for gameplay. I could play this on my ps5, but a JRPG on Xbox just feels unique. in my opinion the Xbox series S/X is the best place to play on for P5!

Uno de los mejores RPG que he jugado en mi vida, pues tiene tantas posibilidades que no te imaginas, desde empezar con un profesor de tu instituto hasta un "dios" o incluso tu propio ex-orientador llegando a ser el jefe final, los soundtracks son excelentes aunque no todos pero específicamente los de combate o al ir por el tesoro de los palacios.… Expand

    un juego increible, no conocia mucho sobre los juegos de combate por turnos y con este y otro titulo empezo un poco mi adiccion a otros titulos de combate por turnos. En general combina todo muy bien para que a pesar de que dure mucho te mantenga entretenido.

    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.
