20:35 IMPORTANT: In P5R it's actually very important to max Kasumi, Maruki and Akechi to get the third semester, which is the new big story content added to Royal!

[@ShinyKyu]

Well, it’s technically only required to max Maruki in order to unlock the 3rd Semester and its True Ending, but if you don’t max Kasumi and Akechi’s before then, you’ll be permanently locked out of continuing them for the rest of the game.

[@geek3200]

By max them out do you mean their Confidant ranking or whatever? I'm playing through P5 on the PlayStation at the moment, and I can't wait for this release on the Switch. I appreciate your post because I don't want to lock myself out of content, but I also don't like looking up guides or spoiler filled walkthroughs :) So this is a nice little tip to ensure I get the new story. tyvm.

[@hipersonicc9736]

@@geek3200 yeah, up their confidant Rank to the Max for all three. I believe one of those three becomes story-automatic (like Morgana) on the final ranks though, in case you can't seem to level them up anymore.

Persona 3 is still one of my favorite games ever made and my personal favorite of the modern Hashino entries. Great, flawed characters, a grim story with extremely resonant themes and subtext, and still one of the best soundtracks of any video game I've ever played. Not to mention its emotional highs still far exceed a lot of similar games on the market imo. Early October and December/January were so melancholically immersive

[@Ketsu112]

a lotta people see the more gritty or "realistic" cast of p3 as emo or edgy. but i love love looove how they're not all a bunch of perfect anime kids who have one flaw that gets resolved in their dungeon

[@icedcapplord710]

@@Ketsu112 A complaint with RPGs that try to emulate Persona is that the cast often comes off as cookie-cutter or extremely archetypal. I love that in P3 especially, they all come with their own baggage and aren't meant to be these heroic, go-getting people, as it also ties into how the story is ultimately about self-discovery and learning to value life amidst the problems you're faced with. The social links are ultimately about helping people sort through those problems so they learn to live life being content as well, and come out the other end as better people because you helped them change

For those doubting that P5R cant run on switch, P5Rs engine is the same as Catherine full body which ran perfectly on switch docked and handheld. Although P5 Strikers wasnt the same engine it ran smooth for the most part except frame dips in the first and last boss for handheld mode from my experience.

[@IronTrickster]

The footage we saw in the direct was also taken straight from the switch version which looked like it ran really well

Why wouldn’t it run? The Switch can run more graphically intensive games imo (Dragon Quest 11, The Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, BOTW)

[@SaintJoseph911]

You can compare Catherine and P5R or compare P5R to P5 ps3 version. You can see clear differences that's why people doubted it. I doubted it myself and admit when I am wrong. I figured if they didn't put it on switch after joker came to smash then it would never happen

[@LS-td4yf]

I was in a really dark place a couple months ago, I kinda lost interest in all of my hobbies including gaming until my friend was talking about persona and told me to try it. So I got p4g and this game’s writing and atmosphere is incredible. It was one of the few things that would actually make me happy every time I played it and made me appreciate my friends and everything I had.

Reasons why you should play the Persona series on Switch: 1.) Fanbase (pleasant folks to meet through this series, both real people and the fictional characters) *2.) Portability (this is obvious)* 3.) RPG/Romance synergy (bonding with characters improves them and yourself in battle; social links and side activities expands character development) 4.) Jump-in / Jump-out of each game (You do not need to play any of them in order or even finish to play another, even for gameplay) 4.a.) Story tones are quite different in each title (this supports point four) 5.) Music (soundtracks are good enough to listen to often) 6.) Undedicated fans of RPGs or Anime can still enjoy Persona (not many games are like Persona, not even Shin Megami Tensei) 7.) Pacing (despite length of games, flow of story segments and "simulation gameplay" intertwine and feel engaging instead of being a grind) 8.) If you buy the series on Switch, you encourage a sequel that's bigger and better on all platforms... it's never too late to enjoy them!

Apologies if the video covered this and my bad if I’m inaccurate but I believe in p5 royale you need to get fairly high social ranks with kasumi and maruki to gain access to the last months.

[@eoinmcbain7725]

I have been playing Persona 5 for over a year and a half now and I’m around 80 hours in the main reason I haven’t finished it yet is being tied to the TV and not always having time to play it.

[@amirgarcia547]

Dayum, Jon feels so perfect in this Nintendo Life video that it’s almost like he never left. Also, *very important,* but there are mandatory social links in Persona 5 Royal. If you want to access the third semester, you need to complete Maruki’s confidant before a certain date. Likewise with Akechi and Kasumi, while their confidants aren’t as important, they become locked once you start the third semester, and you need to complete them before then in order to get their third-tier Personas. With Akechi also giving you a extra scene in the ending.

[@draconicboredom101]

[@louish5068]

Try out smt v you have months before p5 comes out and imo it is the better game

[@louish5068]

@@Kyle-Marxluxia p5 is good, but for me the story is weighed down by tropey characters, inconsistent characterisation and the fact there are no stakes. E.g ann has her whole arc in kamoshidas palace of being s victim of him yet they force her to nude model for yusuke just for a funny scene (inconsistent characterisation and tropes), and the fact you are twice led to believe a character has died just for it to be made into a joke scene when theyre not. Another issue with persona 5 (and 4, but i think its not as bad in 4) is that most of the main party don't develop outside of their introduction. Outside of story, i prefer the gameplay of smtV because (especially now as I don't have as much time for playing games) I actually spend most of my time playing, not just pressing a to get through dialogue (which in persona is a lot of re explaining things we already know), i dont mind pressing a through social links as thats the point and it is more interesting but there are too many story scenes in p5 that basically go through things that have already been said.

[@dachking6657]

All of these games are absolutely incredible. If you could only get one, then I’d say 4 or 5, since 4 has the best feel and characters while 5 has the best gameplay by far. Don’t get me wrong, 3 is also truly amazing, but it’s a bit on the difficult side, and works best as a second experience in my opinion. I also have to say that the Abel cosplay is awesome haha

[@akaimizu1]

I would agree the fanbase is quite inviting. There's one minor difficulty to deal with, within the fandom. It's usually pretty difficult to get a new Persona fan, of the latest game, to go back and play through one of the earlier games. So I look forward to Persona 6, with a brand new batch a fans a Persona 5 fan will have a time trying to ever get them to play Persona 5. And Persona 1-4 players, smirking almost like Grandparents who see what trials their own children have to go with, with their kids. I can sort of understand the difficulty for 1 & 2(IS/EP) (as cool as they were as a very direct Shin Megami spinoff), as the big change that popularized the series, happened with 3. But boy do I get warm feelings when I see people sharing fan art and costumes of stuff like Persona 1-3. That you can still run into fans of the earlier games. Total props there. But even if not every game is their bag, for Persona and Shin Megami Tensei fans, game recognizes game; and there's a general understanding and appreciation of fans from wherever they are in the fanbase. I think the idea of trying to goad other fans to try out certain older games is more from a place of kindness. The game often personally touched them in a way that really affected their outlook and/or emotions, and they wish any Persona fan gets to experience the same feeling they had. No Persona game does that quite the same as another, nor has quite the same message as another, making each game in the series, kind of timeless.

I’ve been wanting to get a PS4, now a PS5, to play lots of games (specifically some JRPGs), but mostly I’ve been wanting to play Persona 5 for years now.

I’m very excited that these three Persona games are getting Switch ports. I’m a big SMT/Persona fan who happens to own a Switch so to finally see Persona expand to other consoles besides a Sony console is invigorating and could possibly be what will happen with Persona 6. Yes P6 will most likely go on a Sony console first with Atlus having an agreement with Sony to have mainline entries of Persona on a Sony platform but it would only be after they finish releasing the game on said platform that Atlus would expand P6 to other available consoles. At least that’s the hope for what the future of Persona will be like but we’ll have to wait and see when we get there.

Persona 3, 4, and 5 were all fantastic 3gives you a look into what Life in a dorm is like and some people like how you summoned your persona and some people hated it. Also how simple things like going to the restroom or staying up for long time can affect your over all health. 4 was just great all around can't say anything bad about it the tv aspect was neat. I liked 5 becasue it deals with real world issues like the sleazy teacher who thinks he is gods gift to the school or the mentor who is just using you to further his own career. These are real world things, I loved that they protrayed the subways correctly they really do get that full I have seen video of attendents helping close the doors. just great games if you have never played one you need to

I actually only started playing Persona Golden a couple months ago after I decided to pick up the vita again after it’s been gathering dust and I’m enjoying it cant wait to finish and move on to the others when they come over to the switch

[@aidan1157]

Can someone tell me the easter egg in p3p that they're talking about

[@grimreaper5864]

Already played these on other portables can't wait to play this on switch

[@m3sake]

Dude I’m so happy the other Personas are coming to switch along with P5. I started playing P4 on PC after playing P5 on PS4 and being blown away. It’s just not the same playing on my pc monitor compared to doing Persona dungeons on a couch and playing on a tv. I know it sounds like a minor thing but maybe it’s because my pc is in my living room and I played P5 during Covid in my room and it just felt right. I can’t wait to finish P4 and play P3.

[@oakleygleason7145]

Granted it's not technically Persona, but I just started up Tokyo Mirage Sessions again to prepare for Persona 5. I'm super pumped for it!

[@TurnaboutAdam]

It’s basically a persona game haha

[@CorbynsCombo]

Having never played persona or a game like it is this a recommendation to start?

[@RenniganEagle]

Do not start with 5. Start with 4 Golden. 5 has too many quality of life changes that it'll make you hate the other 2 games

[@thecookiegamer1350]

i am SO excited for p3 and 4, Royal is my favourite game of all time and i higly reccomend it. the New 3rd semester has the best story and characters i have ever seen, so even if you already played the original p5 it is still worth playing imo!

[@SamM_Scot]

I remember many going around saying P5R would be too much for Switch like it was some sorta graphical powerhouse game. Good times 😂

[@xtranathor8143]

I've yet to play a Persona game, but I can testify that the P5 and P5R soundtracks are simply excellent!

[@justin3966]

Is it worth it to play royal if your already halfway through the original?

[@JoelGarcia-lu3tw]

Yes. It made a 9/10 game pretty much perfect. Just make sure to do all 3 new social links as soon as possible.

[@techno--]

Not really, it's mostly the same game aside from some questionable gameplay mechanic changes and additional story content. I would save P5R for a second playthrough, maybe it'll be fun to compare the differences

[@JuanTorres-zo5xs]

Just bought persona 5 royal couple weeks ago on ps5. Starting soon hope I like it. If so will grab 3 & 4 on my switch.

[@tico305goon]

bought persona 5 strikers on switch day one and and have yet to play it for the main reason that i knew persona 5 royal was coming one day to switch looking forward to finishing the p5 storyline
