A game that really stole my heart. I loved the characters because of how well they were written. The music was amazing and at times just really hyped me up for what was going on in the game. The song that plays in the café just calmed my mind and prepared me for my next challenge. The backstories of the characters you related to just make you cry - it's just super well written and connects you to the characters so easily. The turn based combat feels fresh and engaging - chaining attacks feels super good and the finishers always made me feel good. The game is pretty long but it's super worth to experience it. Only thing that leaves to be desired is Joker - wish we had some voice acting or just more character development because from what we do get from him he would be an amazing character. It's a shame he is just a self insert.
The game is an awesome rebel story - and pretty unusual for it to fight against the corrupt society we live in. Persona 5 and the content of Royal really just felt like a breath of fresh air to gaming.

So true, I'm really glad you enjoyed the game! ^^ do you plan on playing any of the other games in the SMT franchise? I recommend P3Reloaded and/or SMT Nocturne, both are very good.

@G0dot I've just picked up Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker and Devil Summoner Soul Hackers for the 3ds, and have P3P for the switch through LRG plus waiting on P4G from LRG too, but I am itching to play P3Reloaded just kinda don't have the funds for it atm. I also have SMTV to play so yes I will be investing a lot of time into the franchise :3
