Persona 5 Royal - Trash or Treasure? | An Imperfect Masterpiece

Much like how Persona 4 Golden expanded the PS2 classic, Persona 5 Royal has now done the same with the 2017 masterpiece. Despite both vanilla Persona 5 and Royal being on the same console however, does Royal add enough to make it worth buying the game again for some extra content?
Persona 5 Royal was released three years after Persona 5, and in this Persona Royal review, I shall explain why despite its faults, Persona 5 Royal is my all time favorite game, as Persona 5 Royal brings enough to the table to make Persona almost obsolete. Persona 5 Royal can be played on PS4s and PS5s.

Why was Kasumi's initial transformation Sailor Moon-esque? My answer would be because Atlus wanted to distract us from the fact that it was a rather painless transformation; there wasn't even any blood.

[@EscaVODS]

Mementos probably had the most improvement for me. I was so obssessed with finding flowers and stamps for Jose. I don't remember having that much fun in the vanilla version. My only gripe with the game is that they buffed up the characters so much but did not upped the ante on the difficulty, even on Merciless. I think this might have been the easiest Persona game I've ever played.

[@bas_ee]

@@SolidSnake240 i dont know how far you are, but i actually stopped playing the game when i was halfway through the first palace. Even om easy i could not get past that mini boss. I thought the game sucked and it was no my cup of tea. Gave it a 1/10 then.. But after a few months i booted the game up again.. I got past the mini boss. I got past the first palace. Then the story got really really good and i thought wow this game is pretty good. As the hours went by i got in love with it. The plot twist a bit later in the game was hit the nail for me. Before that the game was a good 8/10 for me, but after that it became so good that it was my number 1 game ever. And it only became better. Way way way better. If i could choose only 1 game to exist forever it would, without a doubt, be Persona 5 Royal. What im trying to say is, please keep playing the game. If you are like me, you will thank yourself and the people who made it for playing the game. Its a well earned 10/10 undoubtedly. And also its the best music in a game ive heard yet. Not trying to sound like a fan boy lmao but if i get 1 person to play this beautiful work of art, im happy. And so will be you :)

[@kamatari1220]

I couldn't beat Okumura so I looked a guide that said to fight him on merciless. I forgot to turn it off all the way until the end! I even beat (spoiler) on merciless and it wasn't even hard, just time consuming. The game probably was too easy but I had a blast mowing down enemies with the guns!

[@MarylandWolves110]

Persona 5 Royal for me was a step up from the Original. Spoiler alert for stuff past this point. Kasumi aka Sumire was such an amazing character my 1b Waifu to Futaba. She just wanted to be like her sister but couldn't and fell into a depressional funk trying to commit suicide and her sister aka the real Kasumi saving her was so tragic I felt so bad for Sumire. Her blushing scenes are among the cutest things I've seen in gaming I wanna protect her so bad. Maruki is among the best anti-heroes in media the past decade cause he's trying to do good but robbing people of their free will in the process. Think of it as a human being trying to become a messiah. Akechi is so tragic cause he wanna stays "dead" cause his heart is black as coal and is tired of being manipulated by other people and it's understandable with what happened with him and Shido. The new cutscene at the end I think shows Akechi as a mirage in my opinion. Free Will is the ultimate theme of Persona 5 cause it's up to the people if they wanna grow and change for the better and see if they can maintain it cause knowing today's society they cannot. Yaldabaoth is one hundred percent right about today's society and the world needs a phantom thief sort of group to snap society back to its rightful place.

[@Grey0King]

Why would you stop the Alarm? Just end it with a sacrifice of a yellow Persona for extra stat boosts. Also, Okumura's boss fight is really simple. Especially considering that you get a chance to find weakneses beforehand. The only problem with it is that it is too easy. The only way you might call DLC Personas broken (When Lucifer,Alice, Maria and Yoshitsune are in the game) is by getting them from compendium and not fusion. Like, only Messiah and Izanagi-no-Okami shake things a bit, with Izanagi being less limited than Messiah's strict single Boss battles kit. Btw, Alice always had the same single fusion recipe for lore reasons, so this is an outright wrong claim. DLC Personas expand, not limit the recipe amount.

I really like this game. Not more than P4 Golden, but I still really like this game. This game easily has the best gameplay overall and the story and characters are pretty good. And the soundtrack is still as glorious as ever. In truth, I still believe Okumura's palace wasn't that bad and Kaneshiro's bank and Futaba's tomb can go blow me, but I still like the other Palaces for this game.

Regardless of how much Atlus milking has ruined P5's reputation somewhat, I absolutely love P5 and P5 royal even more. I didn't expect much changes with Royal but I was very surprised at how much more I enjoyed it. Definitely up there with P3 and P2 as my favorite Persona game.

There really on 2 things I disagree with and its only during the intro. (This is going to hurt on the inside as I am a bit P5 fan lol.) Stating persona 5 has both the best cast and best story, something I greatly disagree with P5's story being the best in which I think P5 has the worst story of all the persona games and I think P3 and P2 both have a much better cast than 5, its on the same level as P4. I'd personally rank all the stories, from worst to best: 5, 1, 4, 3, and 2 duology. I'd rank the cast as follows as well: 1, 4/5, 2, 3. Great review overall tho.

[@tigerishrumble7976]

I love how the price point is a flaw when it's literally 20+ hours of new content. That's the length of TLOU2... And people hated that game. If you loved Persona 5 then paying 60 for Persona 5 Royal shouldn't be a problem. I bought the Deluxe edition for around 40 dollars in December of 2019 (I saw it on sale and decided to give it a go) and had no problem throwing in another 60 dollars around 3 or 4 months later for P5R. Man, was it worth it

[@GMOTP5738]

Yeah but is the 20+ hours of new content even good or is it just boring filler? You gotta realize that whatever so called new content is added has to be really freakin good to even to be worth another 60 dollars. Regardless whether its good or not this is still a bad practice by devs to just farm more money, they couldve just made a cheaper expansion as an option to upgrade which wouldve been better plus the game still looks identical anyways but idiots like you will always buy up this shit and then complain later on about "why are devs putting season passes and loot boxes in everything?" Hmm i wonder why 🙄

[@tigerishrumble7976]

CursedGman Have you played the game?! This isn’t an expansion, it’s a whole overhaul.to palaces, combat, dialogue, story, etc. The 20 hours of extra content are VERY GOOD. I can argue that those 20 hours are much better than most games out now. I have never complained about season passes since they actually add content. I will complain, however, if the content is bad. Loot boxes are no where near as bad as this. You literally don’t know what you’re getting, it’s not like an extra 60 dollars for 20-30 hours of gameplay or a season pass. You can literally see what you are getting before purchasing those two last items, something that loot boxes can’t. You calling me an idiot before doing some actual research is absurd. I loved the 20 extra hours, mementos overhaul, combat overhaul, 2 new party members, new palace, new personas, new cutscenes, new endings and improved graphics they gave me. I absolutely have NO problem with the 60 dollar price tag. TLOU2, FIFA, CoD has given far less for much more. It’s pretty much a different game, but an idiot like you loves comparing that to loot boxes.

I believe the reason why you couldn’t sprint in Vanilla P5, was to emphasize the connection between the real world and the Metaverse. Recall after clearing Kamoshida’s palace Ryuji suddenly can’t catch up and falls behind due to his injured leg. In the Metaverse, your normal physical characteristics (i.e. your speed, probably your pain endurance) are enhanced. Ergo, this is why you can naturally run faster in the Metaverse. I believe they changed this, since it was not convenient.

I do have other good thing I like about it but lets get to the part where I'm obtain the heretic title in ya'lls eyes. Things I hate. 1: sound design, all out attack went from a calm relaxing moment to"LOUD NOISES!!!!" I literally jumped the first time I did an all out attack. 2: new sprites, whoever made Ann look like the product of fifth gen incest I will skin you. 3:GIVE ME BACK TAE TAKEMI!!!!!!!!!!!! 4: yoshi, no not the good lookin one the redhead, she.........we'll get to her in a moment. 5: the entire third semester. And the here is where I really get branded a heretic, THE THIRD SEMESTER the biggest flaw of this game. 1: Yoshi, she is by far my most hated character ever, she feels so shoe horned in to the point where I was rolling my eyes, she has one of the STUPIDEST plot twists in anything, and she has no plot relevances, and when she does it feels so dang contrived. 2:the villain, WHERE IS THE GODDAMN CONFLICT!?!?!? like no seriously when I beat him I didn't feel a sense of "YES WOO-HOO I TOOK DOWN THE BAD GUY" because we aren't given a reason as to why we are opposing him it's so frustrating. but at the end of the day this was my experience and I don't speak for all players I just hope you guys can read through this and get on my level of understanding or something. also if I were doing a video this would have WWWWAAAYYY more fleshed out points opinions(aka I'm not good with expressing myself on pen and paper)

We opposed him because while his intentions were good, he still took away the ability to grow as a person.

Personally wasnt a big fan of the ending and its message and much preferred the rebellious bonds formed in the original. But overall royal is a much easier game and makes easy for anyone to have max stat personas if you give it some tedious leg work. Ive heard that people summoned Izanagi no okami from the dlc to get them out of a pinch but he is not needed as he is insanely op and makes merciless look like easy. Skill cards and yusuke are a lot more useful as high tier personas can drop drains and repels during an alarm and yusuke is able to duplicate a card in safe rooms but im not sure if that was in the original. The thieves den gives really good rewards and is where the actual challenge is for completionists as platinum has been made really easy in p5r. Completing the playstation trophies grants you individual phantom thieves avatars and dynamic themes if you have signed up to the playstation newsletter. These are all really cool and are nice out of game rewards. Intense focus will of the sword and mighty gaze are traits helpful for high damage dealers. Traits are easily transferable so experiment The best gear is acquired during a fusion alarm e.g itemizing satan for guys and messiah (free dlc) for girls Billiards increases your technical rank which increases the damage done in technical attacks while increasing knock down chance. Lastly abuse the jazz club, it gives team mates high tier skills like concentrate, debilitate and spell master while increasing their stats and total sp and hp. These abilities carry over to ng+ but require you to go to the church for the team mates to remember these skills in sequential playthroughs.

[@tokyobassist]

Persona needs a shake up and it's fanbase is fucking awful. The community suffers from weird unwillingness to play anything prior to their entry point game and will deep throat that game as a GOAT. P5R still stuffers from pacing issues and tone deaf writing. Yeah combat and dungeon crawling is fun but everything else is just not that good. Confidants only work if the characters are well written and when they aren't, it's a slog.Also not saying easy games can't be fun but this difficulty is insultingly low for a Persona game. Merciless is easier than hard due to higher damage on crits. I.m mad I don't fully enjoy it because there is obviously quality here.

[@NicholasMonado]

I agree the Fanbase is toxic and terrible Persona 5 Royal is my favorite game of all time And I absolutely love persona 4 Golden I have not played Persona 3 yet i’m waiting for them to release a port on steam

[@advmx3]

Persona 5 Royal for me at first was nor worth it. Untill it got like 25% off on PSN and I got it. And no one is talking about small enhancements for the game, load screens that are almost instantaneous now and they upgraded the train load screens now making them so more beautiful with more characters there depending on the day if it's a holiday or not it will also change some of the people there. Hell you go to Akihabara in certain dates and the loadscreen will show a ton of otakus going there making cosplay. That's amazing XD Some flashy new stuff on screen to make the gmae more "Royal and Opulent" with those sparkly new effects around the screen on palaces (the Original had this but not those flashy jewel styles). I don't like that this game only show the new opening, before it was possible to watch both if you waited for some time on the title screen (P3F and P4G), but that's ok. There's a lot of small stuff you only notices if you play the original on the last three months. What was a letdown to me, not only the dificulty making the game feel easier (then again, Persona 4 Golden felt way easier than P4 Og), was that some confidants weren't changed. Ann confidant would be SO MUCH better if it only focused on her Struggles with Shiho, instead of focusing on modeling shit. Hell they could have put that modelling part to just one encounter of it instead of focusing on it. But well, that's that I guess. I still think P4 is funnier, Especially since you can practically make Yu Narukami gay for some characters which is actually hilarious. The closest option to that was on the third semester and it was a letdown because of the way they handled it. I still laugh my ass off when I remember I almost made Yu take Teddy's virginity while his uncle get on the house. It's so awkward and I live for those kind of shit. But in the end I think P5R is just way better than P5 just because of those TONS of improvements. I just think they should not put so many content locked by DLC, it kinda makes me sad.

Ah yes, I forgot about the faster load times. Thanks for bringing that up. Although I was not aware of the train transitions, Akihabara cosplayers, and sparkles around the screen during Palaces! I'll have to have another look at that during my next playthrough! I agree somewhat as well that maybe some Confidants could've had new story elements to them. Perhaps not to the extent of someone like Akechi where his entire Confidant is different, but just something to add another layer of depth. Even so, most of the Confidants were fine as they are.

Disagree with you when you said 5 4 have best Story but good video bro keep it up 3 4 have best story 5 last.

Inspite of how they improved P5 Royal, I think P4 Golden is still better only in terms of story...

I have to admit something that I want to get off my chest. It may involve spoilers so don’t read unless you have played all the way to around the third semester at least before reading my comment. I got myself banned from a streamer that was doing a Persona 5 Royal Merciless Stream thanks to spoiling part of the Third Semester’s events and certain characters having plot twists that are revealed in that Third Semester. I then spoiled something about the twists revolving around the vanilla final boss impersonating a character from the Velvet Room. Then I spoiled Caroline and Justine’s true form Lavenza by saying her introduction line in the stream chat. That last spoiler got me banned from the Streamer entirely and I am a stupid idiot for doing it. I feel bad for the people that got spoiled in the process and I swear to not spoil again in any chat again involving any game from now on. Now that I have got that out of my chest, I hope you have a good day.
