Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal are the story of a ragtag bunch of high schoolers combating societies corruption using the power of their Personas, physical manifestations of their rebellious will to help those in need.

I got into Persona 5 originally in 2017 after finding out that Persona games weren't one continuous story. When I found out Persona 5 was getting an expanded version with extra content and story, I was beyond excited.

Persona 5 is already a brilliant game in both story and gameplay, but the royal additions only enhance it further. The addition of new Personas, new palace mechanics such as the will seeds, new Ultimate Personas, etc. All these new additions only served to enhance an already incredible experience that I will never forget.

The story is pretty much the same, except for a few additional scenes, plus the additional Third Semester arc set after the original final boss of the game. The final boss of the Third Semester rains to be one of my favourite antagonists of all time, even after all these years. His story and journey mean so much to me.
