Should You Buy Persona 5 Royal?

Persona 5 is commonly considered one of the best RPGs ever made, and now, a new re-release titled "Persona 5 Royal" aims to make it even better! In this video, I give my honest thoughts on Persona 5 Royal for PS4, and whether or not I think it is a worthy improvement over the original game.

Funniest thing about Royal is that Yoshizawa and Maruki were introduced and integrated into the story better than Haru.

Personally I think they did alot to smooth over Akechi's character and give him a satisfying arc.

"It was too easy, even on hard mode"

Me: *goes cry on a corner after getting my ass kicked during the whole game on normal

‘Jose isn’t that game changing.’ The primary xp and farming method in the game would say otherwise

[hotepanthony]

"why is there a cartoon cat following me around?"

... First time, huh?

[SproutFarms]

"A re-release, really?"
P3FES, P3P, P4G
It's a pattern and was very much expected.

"Jose isn't that game breaking"

Me, at level 84, without grinding, just because I spent a little time in Mementos. All before 12/24.

5:28 “honestly Jose isn’t really that game changing” tell that to my wallet every time I collect at least 700K on a quick mementos trip

Speaking of DLC. How the hell is Kasumi's costume bundle 15$ when you only get to use her for 1 palace? If i gotta mod the game to get use out of DLC it's not worth buying

[Flambingo]

IMO NG+ should've given us access to all party members including Dark Skin Akechi and Yoshizawa from the start just to make up for the fact that those two are in your party for so little time. No need to explain how they're there, either. Just a gameplay thing.

This can be accomplished with a save editor, but it shouldn't have to be.

I wholeheartedly enjoyed the 3rd semester for a plethora of reasons;

The "final boss" (keep this spoiler free) had close ties to you, the protagonist, and the group as a whole like Kamoshida and Shido did (y'know, the good villains of the game?), making the fight feel personal; the reasoning behind the final boss's motives weren't sinister or conniving but driven by good intentions, however, much like how Akechi found such a world to be disgusting, Final Boss's desires were so...hubristic it irritated me at points -- especially during the fight in which he speaks to the cast (another plus is how that dialogue shows their steel resolves) and the whole palace and final fight truly hammers home the Freedom Vs. Security motif; Akechi got padded out both through his confidant and the 3rd semester where he allows his true self to show without reserve and I LOVED it (His and Joker's Showtime is my fav, especially with the signs in the background like "Two Sides of The Same Coin" -- I eat that shit up); Kasumi was a welcome addition and I felt really bad for her, it was a cool twist that I really didn't see coming for her character; and finally the Lovecraft made me nerdgasm and the final fight as just...hype. A real man's fight toward the end.

Downside to the 3rd semester is its playtime -- it's The game cucks you pre-Shido where Kasumi offers aid and you HAVE to say no. Was total BS. So you only get to play as her for a little over 20 in games day, which is not long. And are you guys telling me I was the only one who wanted to fly around Mementos in Mona's new form?!

Lot of things to love, lots to invoke ire, and I'm glad there's someone who can review a game they like without the rose-tinted shades. But I LOVED this addition.

"jose is not game changing"

one word: stamps.

[mijofalco]

I think this version is a massive upgrade to the OG P5. Like you said, this is the definitive version of the game. I love all the improvements, the new characters, it's all just great. But yeah, just get the free DLC. It's really all you need.

There is one thing that i dont like about new portraits:
Front-facing Panther. Somehow, it disturbs me

[gavo]

The final arc of Royal is probably one of the best story arcs in the entire series.

[fridayfreed]

I found that when I was playing through Persona 5 Royal, each little change was significant enough to make the game seem new or unique. While I don't really think that it completely changed the game, it more smoothed it over and made Royal the better version to have. Being able to see Akechi be an actual character was pretty damn nice too.
