This is without a shadow of a doubt the definitive way to experience Persona 5. Many of the new changes and additions make the game so much more enjoyable.
However, without going into detail, playing through the story again made me realize that I enjyed the writing much less compared to my playthrough of P5 vanilla.
Furthermore, I simply didn't enjoy the third semester in general, which caused me to put this game on hiatus for 3 whole years before I recently came back and finished it. There are parts that I liked, but I had a hard time enjoying the new story. I'd also like to mention that the new character, Kasumi, feels a bit shoehorned in and would've benefited from joining the party much earlier than she did.

Despite my complaints, I don't think that P5R is a bad game, nor do I regret playing it after I've already experienced P5 vanilla. On the contrary, I truly think it's one of the best JRPGs on the market. I just can't help but feel a bit disappointed by the new story content and how they handled adding Kasumi.

Maravilla de videojuego en todos los aspectos: gameplay, música, historia, apartado artístico y tiene unos personajes muy entrañables. El mejor maruki. El 3er semestre de este juego es de lo mejor que que he experimentado en mi vida.

Psycho Akechi is one of the pinnacles of entertainment

Uno de los mejores JRPG que nadie puede jugar, y una gran puerta de entrada al género. No solo es sencillo de aprender pero complicado de dominar, sino que además es frenético y divertido como pocos.


the third semester is so insanely good

a remaster that adds and fixes a lot of small issues with the original, while also shitting all over it with a fujoshi fanfic tier rewrite of a major character's story arc and an embarassingly bad third semester with writing that borders on self contradictory.

Easily the definitive version of the game, the added content is very welcome and well-integrated. My only complaint is that some of the new systems make the game far too easy, even when played on the highest difficulty.

i love the graphics, the aesthetic and atmosphere of the game but it wasn't made for me.. sorry akechi.

I dated every girl in the game so I'd get a bonus on my new game plus run and then didn't actually do a new game plus run. 8/10, the soundtrack is good enough to actually listen to outside of the game context.

If this was just base persona 5 it would be like a 4.5 star or maybe even a 4 star, but the added content on the royal version is actually so good, the new villain at the end feels very well written, the combat is pretty standard but its pretty fast and the game is not too grindy aswell.
this series has some of the coolest monster design ive seen in alot of games aswell.

Morgana GOATed Ryuji... why you gotta hate on the goat...

Oh my god.

I finally finished Persona 5 and I am shocked.
What a perfect game! The story is incredible and full of depth especially that last semester! (the thing ever written).
The characters are phenomenal, I feel connected to every single main character and I truly love them all (except yusuke he's fine I guess).
The story is so incredibly done and the pacing is wonderful! 90 hours is not enough I need more :(
The combat is so unique but also so fun, it's colorful and quirky and quite sophisticated! the music during palaces and honestly during any single point of the game is a masterpiece, every single song is a banger especially I believe playing in the last palace!
The design is so FUCKING good!!!! the colors everywhere and the background the enemies and personas everything is PERFECT!!

Greatest game of all time, I will now start my NG+ ! very excited :) I highly reccomend everyone to play this life changing game !

The royal trio are the goats! (and Makoto)

A história é ótima mas o que carrega o jogo é a ost e estilo visual msm

Nunca me parecerá justificado pasar por caja por algo que podría ser un DLC y ya está, pero este sigue siendo el mejor RPG de la década (y ahora que tiene billar, dardos y a Akechi pegando berridos, más todavía).

Ahora, que el Katsura Hashino podría irse a ser homófobo a otra parte lo tenemos claro todos, ¿no?

Man oh man... where to begin. I'm not a big JRPG guy but this game makes me enjoy the grind SO much. The combat would be pretty annoying if it weren't for the baton pass, which makes the low level encounters a breeze if you know the right weakness types. The story is super engaging and being able to learn more about the side characters through the confidants is super rewarding. Honestly it's the best way to get into the Persona series imo. Would extremely recommend!!!!!!!!!! play this nowwwwwwwwwww

im still playing but god i love this game so much. the charcters could be writter a little better but this game has my heart

Absolute Perfection the best video game ever made.

Massive games like this tend to buckle under their own weight, but P5 Royal's strengths endure the extensive time sink, staying refreshing and captivating from start to finish.

THIS is what i called a Masterclass ! There is everything i ever wanted in a game. The scenario is perfection how i like, the gameplay is incredible too and the longer of the game is well managed. I say it, I wasn't bored for a single second with the game, being a very fan of this genre.

thank u haru for creating who i am today (flower loving nerd w fatherly issues)

Persona 5 Royal é um puta upgrade do seu antecessor adicionando conteudo muito bem vindo ao jogo e com todas as DLC's de antes de forma gratuita
o unico erro é ser muito facil.

e se a gnt refizesse persona 5...... so que mais anime..... disse um homem louco que nao sabendo que era impossivel foi la e fez

Shot my therapist when he tried to brainwash me into being happy. 5/5.


jogo ótimo, não é o melhor persona, mas é bom

Persona 5 or: What It Means to Love a Game That Hates You

Royal puts a cherry on an already perfect dessert. I adore this cast of characters even the lesser-used arcanas. The aesthetic the quick and fun combat, all make this game perfect.

i'm only 36 hours in and i already know it's peak
