[@jesusvargas5156]

Fine Nane I bought it for Christmas and have spent around 50 hours on it, it's pretty damn good. If you're thinking about buying it, just be prepared for a shit ton of dialogue, way more than you might be expecting. The game isn't open world but you can walk around certain areas and explore, but you're "timed" for some activities and you'll use you that time doing those activities. You have to balance takedown requests, your bonds with other characters, studying, going out (for social stats), etc. because they all tie in with the combat. I'd recommend it but it's not for everyone either.

[@jesusvargas5156]

Fine Nane Also, the first 6-12 hours are basically a huge tutorial, it isn't so bad but stick with it after the first palace and you'll really like the game.

[@thatblackguyfromnedsdeclas3063]

@@m_riidi if you play on any difficulty above normal you'll have to farm eventually. On higher difficulties you can get away with being way below the average lvl but fights get very rough. I played most of the game around 7-12 lvl's below the average lvl, sometimes 20 below. When I was hard headed & didn't want to grind a few lvls most of my fights came down to RNG even when I played well. This game gives you so many options though that even if your under leveled you can still beat anything you want. You just have to put more thought into how you play.

I've sunk nearly 20 hours into the game and I can't get enough. The turn-based battles are fun and engaging without being too easy, the characters are relatable and enigmatic, making it fun to befriend them, and even living a normal high school life is fun because it makes you think about how to use your time best to help you in other aspect of your life (going through Palaces, studying for tests, working a part-time job, etc.).

I became obsessed as soon as I started playing- I was head over heels and it’s interesting to see his opinion on how he wasn’t crazy about the beginning. Personally, I feel like game drags on later on because you’re doing a lot of the same things, hearing a lot of the same tracks and it gets tedious but when the game first starts out it’s heaven. Once I got to Futabas palace I was kinda starting to play less and less because it felt repetitive, but I still love the game to bits and keep playing.

[@emmeownelan2076]

one of my favorite games of all times. I enjoyed Persona 3 and 4, but 5 is the game that made me fall in love with the series. Now, replaying 4 I have even more love for the game and I'm looking forward to revisiting 3 again

[@LizMars89]

I bought this game about 8 months after the release, not knowing a single thing about it (other than it being a JRPG). And let me just say: HOLY FREAKIN CRAP. I have never been so addicted/in love with a video game before. I've got over 300 hours of game play (spread out between multiple play throughs). I LOVE THIS GAME! Totally worth the random purchase.

[@benjaminaswad6486]

If you love anime, you'll love this game. I wish I could play more often, but I'm a busy guy haha.

[@peaceman1109]

this was my first persona game, my first playthrough was a 110 hours this is without a doubt my favorite game overall, its not perfect but I fell in love with this game story, character and the thing like character interction... a day after I finished the game I started it all over again, I just cant wait for persona 5 royale for more of the thing I loved about the original (hopefully it will do as good or even better)

[@kyubbiman2255]

Just picked up the game and I love it to death, the story is fantastic, characters are well rounded, and combat is really fun and battles can turn either direction with one or 2 moves. Its not a game for casuals you have to invest your time in order to do well.

That's not true at all, I'm a huge jrpg fan and absolutely can't stand persona games. You have to be a fan of sim style games as well to fully enjoy a niche game like this. The guy in the video literally just said the first -12 hours barely has any combat, how can you possibly say every jrpg fan would like something like that?

[@asaltylapis4316]

Adam Braunstein I bought this game the other day, it's a non stop fun ride trust me. No other game has made me happier or more engaged and entertained than this game has. YES I've bought mass effect andromeda, nier automata, and the new zelda all within the last month, this game takes the cake. I'm only 12 hours in, and I've been erect the entire time.

[@Abraun897]

I mean I'm sure theres enjoyment to be had but I can't stand the high school sim aspect of the game, the combat looks good but everything else is so off putting I don't think I could be able to ignore it.

[@Derezedd]

I played Nier Automata and I think the game is great ! However, if you like a turn-based JRPG, Persona 5 is your go-to game. Personally, I love both but Persona 5 blows me away and it's a 100 hours+ of gameplay.

[@ceoofkpop2574]

I knew absolutely nothing about Persona, didn’t even know it existed. I’m thankful that this video was recommended to me when it came out cause now I’m obsessed with not only Persona 5/ Royal but the Persona series as a whole

Y’all made me start persona 5 again. I just realize through a few videos that since I’m 22 hrs in I’m just now sorta getting to the end of the tutorial 😮 this game has been fun, hilarious, memorable and hard asf. I put the game down for a year or two because I couldn’t get pass this one fight. I’m now picking it back up. Hopefully I can beat it, coming back refreshed 😅

P5 kinda scared me away a bit but this video actually peaked my interests even more! The game mechanics are pretty nice and I see there are tons of choices which I love and a battle system Im not used to at all so it should be fun learning.

It's Narutos parents fault he/she is an ignorant fuck, or could it just be they were born ignorant and will die ignorant (lets hope it's sooner rather than later...) whatever it is, someone with that kind of mentality needs to feel shame and is definitely the better candidate for a suicide attempt (fingers crossed)... anyway, I digress... yes James Keegan, it's pretty bad craic aint it?
