Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game was really good, I got platinum and spent almost 100 hours, plus you get emailed free dynamic themes when you get certain trophies. So it’s great overall, good story, good music, and a MAJOR upgrade to the original Persona 5 2016. You should play the normal Persona 5 to enhance your gameplay in royale. The new stuff that they added was a new story extension and endings if you do level up bonds with certain characters. 9/10 for me

Best Edition of this game, . New characters and extra story not included on the original release! Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this game.

Really good game, if you like JRPG, you should try it.

This game is beyond outstanding purchasing this product was worth every penny. The creators who modified this masterpiece is highly will be one of the most memorable games you’ll enjoy similar to Pokémon but with dialogue and follows the story uniquely. The new characters are great for wanna spoil especially the third semester. The bonus is worth it, honestly this relatable and can learn something from this.

This Has To Be One of The Best Persona Games I Have Ever Played. The Story, Characters, Gameplay, Etc. Is Top Notch.

Fair warning, this game is well over 100 hours long. If you're into that, than it's an easy must buy, but if you aren't, it's still worth checking out. The actual game itself is by far the best turn-based RPG I have ever played, and it was what actually sold me on what was once my least favorite genre. The case was also in excellent condition.

Excellent game! I have never played a JROG before and figured I'd give it a try seeing how much praise it gets. Enjoyed every minute spent playing this one until the end.

I have played the orginal version and I am telling you this is better, the must play version. My only problem is that the game is really easy, even on hard. Still doesn't kill any of the fun. Story 5/5 Gameplay 4/5 Music 5/5

Amazing game all around. First the game looks good and the animations are so stylish you can't help but get excited. Music is amazing and I find myself humming to the music quite often. I normally don't care much about music in video games but this sound track is just too good. Anyways without making this too long the gameplay is really good and ton of side stuff to do. The inclusion of a new character is great and replaying this game again was made even better because this isn't just the old game with added content. They change the core battle gameplay enought that it felt almost like a new game.

As a newcomer to the series I had a fantastic time with Persona 5 Royal. This enhanced version of Persona 5 has enough extra story, characters, and features that I think it's clearly the best version of the game to play. Especially now that you can get it for less than $60 (although I paid the full amount and was still satisfied). Persona prides itself on its style, and the appealing artwork and characters, funky music and overall groovy attitude do not disappoint. Every minute spent playing this game just makes me feel like a cooler person. The gameplay almost feels like an afterthought to just what a flashy and enjoyable atmosphere it provides. The gameplay was fine too, especially the social features. Making friends and getting to know people feels better in Persona than in any RPG I've played. I especially appreciated that some of the characters you can spend time with are adults, which you almost never see in this genre. As a crochety old 20-something myself, it was a breath of fresh air. Everyone is really well-written and voice-acted, and especially during the pandemic it was great to get to hang out with people for a change. Persona 5 is absolutely worth a try if you enjoy turn-based JRPGs and high-school style anime. If you've already played the original it's probably still worth it if you grab it on sale.

I’ll preface this review by claiming this game is JRPG nirvana. It’s the perfect Persona game for people that have never played a game in the series to jump into and fall in love with. Every character is expertly written and voice acted. The music is the perfect blend of acid jazz meets hard rock. The game oozes style from the intro all the way until the end credits. The story elicits emotion from one extreme to the opposite. It’s an unforgettable adventure that will have you wrapped around its finger for at least 100 hours if you care to do all the side content. Persona 5 was wonderful and Royal is more of that and then some. It’s the perfect love letter from Atlus to the fans and newcomers of the entire series. If you enjoy JRPG games then this will undoubtedly disappoint.

There is no one I would not recommend this game to. This is a fantastic story well laid out with wonderful music and amazing gameplay. I spent 122 hours in this game and I’m playing a game plus now. Not once have I been bored.

I'm seriously writing reviews at this moment to get more points and rewards so that I can buy this game again. My son and I are new to the franchise, and we just love it. The story, music, gameplay, characters... just wow. So far, it keeps getting better.

I bought it during the pandemic, and I am glad I did. So many interesting storylines and gameplay that is very similar to Pokémon but more sophisticated. Then add a sim-teen life in Japan and ranging from serious to cringy story beats that is enjoyable in-between.

I'm only 25 hours in, but this game is already fantastic. The story, gameplay, and music all come together to make a truely memorable experience.

I bought this on sale and I put $200 hours into it. Way better than the original Persona 5!

I can say with full confidence that this is the greatest game I've ever played. Story, characters, gameplay, everything is near perfection. The only person I wouldn't recommend this to is someone who has already played Persona 5 vanilla, and that's only because of the price. Unless you're a die-hard fan who doesn't mind spending full price on what's essentially a re-release with some additional content, 60 dollars can be a bit hard to swallow. Wait for a price drop. If this is your first time playing P5, however, then this is 100% the version to play.

I used to love RPG (Role Playing Games) when i was younger... it started with Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan) on the Super Nintendo. Japanese RPGs were really popular in the late 90's all the way to around the late 2000's. During that time period, there were four main role playing games series that were on the forefront of Japanese role playing. Those were Final Fantasy, The Tales Series, Dragon Quest, and Persona. Out of the four, the Persona series had the least exposure here in the states. It had it's cult following and made more of a splash in the past decade. I myself had never played a Persona game before this one. I was into the other three series more. When I heard that the PS4 was getting, I thought it would be time I finally saw what the Persona series had to offer. In a nutshell, the game is great! I will try and break it down but keep it brief. Gameplay: 10/10 - This is a more traditional turn based RPG. What i mean by turn base is that your party controlled characters and the "enemies" that you encounter take turns taking actions during all enemy encounters. The battles are paced well, the controls are are tight and responsive. As you progress through the story, there many side quests to partake in. These side quests will sometimes help you gain experience for your character. The best part of the game is that you never feel like you're level grinding for the sake of getting stronger. As you move through the story and do the side quests, you will level up. Of course if you want to level up, by all means, it's up to your style of gameplay. Graphics: 10/10 - The game itself has a completely anime inspired look to it. The characters and enemies are all well drawn, and the environments make you feel like you're in Japan. Sound: 10/10 - The whole soundtrack has a nice Jazz'y feeling to it. It's not your typical sounding Japanese RPG. It definitely has the most engaging battle theme. You can replay the game after you beat it. The best part is, you get to keep your current level, so in essence, you can tear through the game. This is mostly for the side quests... to complete different ones to see different aspects of the story. It's a nice touch. The characters are charming and memorable. The story makes you want to keep playing until you see the end credits. At the end of the day, what we want from the game is entertainment, and this game provides it in spades. When I finally beat the game, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I also felt a somber feeling... but like great tv shows and books, we move on. I now patiently wait for Persona 6... I'm just hoping it's release before 2020.

If you're interested in playing P5, I highly recommend picking this up over the vanilla/standard Persona 5 game. Both versions are the same but Royal offers more content and expansion that makes it difficult to go back to the standard edition. Gameplay and story is easy and fun to follow. Easy RPG for anyone to get into but it's a LONG game. Vanilla Persona 5 is still good by itself but Royal edition overall has a lot of improvements imo. If possible, wait for a sale over buying the standard edition. It'll be a better investment in the long run

Characters, story, gameplay, music? What is there not to like? It's one of the best games of the PS4 generation.
