I'm a big fan of RPGs. I've spent thousands of hours on them over the course of my life, and this is a pretty great one. The Persona series has an incredibly stylized design that definitely took some adjusting to, but it grew on me after awhile.
It's very dialog heavy, moreso than most others, and the writers really take their time fleshing out the story and characters. It took me around a hundred hours to play through, so be prepared for a significant time investment. I'm looking forward to playing it again - someday. I played Persona 4 prior to this (the stories have nothing to do with one another) and it keeps with the same sort of battle system with some new features built in, and the dungeons are much more unique in their designs and layouts.
I feel like fans of Japanese anime would absolutely love this, and if (like me) you're generally ambivalent towards that sort of thing, I'd still say to give it a shot. The story is weird and convoluted and unique and engaging.

If you like jrpg games, then this one is a must! Also, if you haven't played any of the previous Persona games, don't worry since each game is a totally different story.
This is my second Persona game and I love it. It is also a good game to get into the series if you've never played a Persona game before.

150 hours and I enjoyed it highly. Not perfect, lots of down time that could be cut down but the story, gameplay, and characters are the best part. The music too! Got me sad when it ended :(

Super fun game. There is a lot of stuff to do and you have to be careful how you spend your time cuz b4 you know it you have to progress the story fast. This game is really cool and flashy the art style is amazing. The character and his friends have good stories. This is one of those games im sure I will play again. Now I know why everyone is recommending this game, its amazing.
I purchased this game from bestbuy because it said it would come with the controller skin. Sadly the game i got didnt come with it so im bummed out my copy of the game didnt have it when I opened it. I still recommend this game even if it doesnt come with it. Im having fun playing persona 5

If you are into turn based RPGs, this game is definitely for you.
If you are into games overflowing with style and unabashedly doing their own thing, this game is definitely for you.
If you are into anime, manga, or Japanese cinema in anyway, this game is definitely for you.
Seriously. This is a great game. And while there is no denying it is a long one (80-100 hours for first playthrpugh), it never stops being fun, weird, crazy, and worth it.

This RPG has style oozing from every scene. It does have a lot of cutscenes, so if you're into constant action, this might not be it. However, the animation rivals any anime show and it's overall the best RPG experience of the year.

From the soundtrack to the story to the gameplay, It's a great game to have. You're really getting your money's worth with an initial 80+ hours of gameplay and a high replay value.

This game follows the traditional JRPG elements established in Japanese RGP's, if you are into turned based games this is definitely the game for you. Being that this is Persona, expect a rich story and deep gameplay, Atlus spared no expense, game is truly amazing and well worth your time. Game has something for everyone, definitely a great addition to your collection and should entertain you for days/ weeks.
**** Note, there is also an Anime companion, make sure you check that out as well.

My first entry into Persona series. Only been playing about 1-2 hours of the game, so I'm still very early in the game. The starting of the game is kind of boring, but now the persona had been introduced, it's getting more interesting. The art style is pretty well done, and I love the fact that it's like playing an anime. Also, go download the japanese audio track, and play it like it's originally intended. I don't speak japanese, but love original track with subtitles.

Such an amazing JRPG, this was the first true turn-based game I had ever really played and it didn’t disappoint. I was so impressed with not only the story and character development but the art style and soundtrack as well. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the genre and honestly anyone that has considered trying a JRPG, this is a great place to start.

If you like Anime and turn based JRPs then this game is perfect for you. Between the fully animated cutscenes and the music, you'll be drawn in from the get go.

I would recommend this game at its original price point of $60 but now that it is $20, I will scream from the roof. There is no better value on the Playstation 4. This game will encompass 100+ hours on your first play through even for persona veterans. The story is incredible and the way it unfolds keeps drawing you back in. There are very few games that come close to this in regards to fun for the cost.

Fantastic game, long "tutorial"

This is a fantastic game: great story, great graphics, tons of secrets to unlock, clean mechanics. The only downside is that this thing has a VERY long introductory sequence with lots of mini tutorials before it gives you the freedom to explore or make significant choices, and you experience frequent (though short) cut scenes and non-interactive sequences during this long (introduction). it is at times more like watching a very good anime than playing a game, though it is clear that there will be a ton of game content once the introductory portion of the game ends.

I wouldn’t consider myself a jrpg guy, in fact, the last one I played to completion, was Super Mario RPG on the snes. (I know right?) With that said, this game absolutely stole my heart. This game’s art direction is dripping with style. Anyone who is into interested in the art design of games should pick this game up. Like I said, I normally don’t pick up jrpgs, but this game’s art really grabbed hold of me. The soundtrack is phenomenal as well. This game easily has the best ost of 2017. The only game that can hold a candle to this ost is probably Nier: Automata, which was another fantastic game of 2017. If you love amazing game music, pick this game up, you will not be disappointed. The only real issue I have, and it’s more of a nitpick really, is this game is not fully voice acted. You will be doing a fair amount of reading, so if that turns you off. . .blame our education system? All kidding aside, it’s not too bad, we’re not talking about something like the Yakuza series.(you better absolutely love reading if you’re jumping into that series) In conclusion, if you’re a fan of legendary game soundtracks and art design, pick this game up you will not be dissatisfied
