Just finished yesterday second playthroug(205 hours total). I recommend two times for anyone who enjoys it because you can't objectively do all things you'd want in first run plus some nice new things in ng+. After playing witcher 3, assasins creed last 4 games, new horizon zero dawn and other acclaimed rpg's, p5r is the one i cried everytime and have been massively invested emotionally, considering I'm an engaged person,34 years old with job and whatnot lol. Beware though, there is such a thing as post-persona depression.
People who aren't even RPG fans will enjoy this because it has more action and other things than just your standard typical RPG. And it's silky smooth.
Easy 10/10 from me. I haven't even finished the game nor am I usually invested in JRPG's, but soon after the moment it launched on Game Pass, I put in hours into it and had a very fun time. Definitely one of the greatest RPG titles.
the anime is on point too. but if youve not complete the game/story, then dont watch anime cause spoilers. persona 3 and 4 are great titles too cant wait for em. now if we could only get the new FF7 trilogy on xbox
100 hours in and I'm still addicted, the spaceship palace and boss was bloody awful but the casino makes up for it. Never played a JRPG in my life and knew nothing about the Persona series before diving into this blind and this has skyrocketed to be one of my fav games of all time. And I've struggled for years to find a game I love, with growing up, a job and being tired a lot I've felt like my consoles have gathered dust. This game though... brought me right back. Just the difference being a kid whose excited to go home and play I'm an adult whose exited to go home and play a game.
There now as well. I'm loving it even more now that the game is opening up a bit more, I took a few days to get items and explore and now I'll probably breeze through it lol
@@chromeqs Pretty much this it addresses most of the flaws of the original while at the same time adding a new arc that i consider to be one of the absolute best i have ever experienced with a top tier antagonist.
I just got into Demon Souls but, I will play this on series X as soon as I can. It looks brilliant. Tried it on Series X but keep getting an error code. Every few mins popping up. The game stills plays but it is wrecking my enjoyment. 😭
I rocked with a guide my first of 2 full play throughs was great from game spot. However the game allows for failure and growth through ng+ so play blind if you can
Can't wait for persona 4 to come to gamepass. I played and enjoyed this game on the ps4 Not sure if I wanna dump 130 hours into it again Still a solid game A must play for any jrpg fan
I haven't played any persona games but now I can play Persona 5 on my xbox series s with gamepass. And yeah Persona5 is one of greatest jrpg games in the world. 🔥🔥
Fav game.royal is better than p5 because it makes the in-between time between main story have more story moments instead such dryness like before.i say stick with console if you want the best graphics.switch is perfect if you don't care about graphics.there are slight differences,like the palaces treasures orbs move odd and its very dark in some scenes,still a great experience though
Never heard about this game but since I love old school final fantasy games I'm sure I'll love this as it's turn based. Ff16 might end up being good but either way final fantasy stopped being final fantasy after 12. 15 was a joke and ff7 remake was a huge disappointment. 16 is just a hack and slash even more so than 15 but I'm still getting it. I'm just pretending that it's a new ip and that it will be great on its own. But as a final fantasy game it's just not one of.
question about mc death during battle. so i just started playing and i died and chose to go back to save room instead of reload because it was about an hour since i last saved. it mentioned something about keeping xp and money, but i am missing some items from that hour played. does game remove all items from battles between save if you died? or only items that were opened with keys?
Beat jrpg ever? Please. There’s a long list of games this has to beat to claim that title. Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of Vesperia, and I could go on and on and on. This is actually what’s wrong with influencers and reviews. Everything is the greatest thing ever to them and it’s clear to see why: Ratings/Viewership. Solid review but let’s not throw the other greats that no doubt influenced this and pretty much defined the genre over the last 3 decades.
@James Starling Graphics and music are worse? Did we play the same games? Literally Combat, graphics and music are the good things about pokemon. Plus the feeling of adventure
I see the games charm but to me its charm is also the downfall. Absolutely horrible game pace and to damn long. I think this game is OK at best. Boring.
Picked this up on Steam as my first Persona game a month ago when it came out. Did I enjoy it? 280 hours played in the past month should give you a hint...
Real world = creepy faceless people... Yeah I call BS on this game being gorgeous when the design choice was that. That's something I'd expect from budget indie games.
@James Starling That can't be true. So far I haven't made a single meaningful choice and haven't faced a single meaningful challenge. I can't decide where to go, what to do, how to build my character, and none of the few battles I've been in have been at all challenging. Surely this changes, right?
@James Starling LOL, now you have me worried. I'm starting to get into the story now, and so that alone makes it more enjoyable. But I do hope the gameplay improves soon.
@@MMaRsu il try it lol. I only said this because it outranked elden ring just recently. Was just making a petty joke. I f w turn based rpgs ever since i was a kid and played wizard 101😅
Well xbox made a huge mistake by allowing Microsoft rewards to all arab countries except Morocco and the worst part is they mentioned western Sahara which is a disputed part of Morocco. Well it's time to switch to sony ps. I was such a xbox loyal player but due to that I have to say bye losers.

Never played personally before,started yesterday. I love turn based rpgs it's been very fun
I'm pretty much addicted to it already after one day of playing it.
same have 30 hours already
Dude I've spent a full day playing this game it's soo gooood

Truth
I played P5 when it came out. Playing it again has been a great time. Much snappier than on PS4, obviously. Noticable sharper, more voice lines.
Playing this for the first time, about to take down Kamoshida
There now as well. I'm loving it even more now that the game is opening up a bit more, I took a few days to get items and explore and now I'll probably breeze through it lol
Dude I fell in love with this game when I played it I played this full game 6 times in a Row lol
This game is a masterpiece
Oh yeah I already played the original Persona 5 can't wait to dive in and play Persona 5 Royal
Same game
@@xxxxxxxxidk1586 no its not lol. it revamps tons of content and adds about 20 hours to the end of the game's story.
@@chromeqs Pretty much this it addresses most of the flaws of the original while at the same time adding a new arc that i consider to be one of the absolute best i have ever experienced with a top tier antagonist.

If it's anything like mine on PC, don't connect to the Thieves network. Error code stopped popping up for mine.

My Holy Trinity of JRPGs:
-Chrono Trigger
-Final Fantasy VI
-Persona 5 Royal
Maybe persona 5 will replace xenoblade chronicles because my list is very similar. Xenoblade chronicles is my favorite jRPG outside of chronotrigger
literally my top 3 best games of all time with the addition of witcher 3
Holy hell, those first two are my favorites, you just convinced me to play Persona 5
@@nix98zlcy no excuses now, P5R is everywhere!

Can't wait for persona 4 to come to gamepass.
I played and enjoyed this game on the ps4
Not sure if I wanna dump 130 hours into it again
Still a solid game
A must play for any jrpg fan
Did you play the original release or Royal?
I haven't played any persona games but now I can play Persona 5 on my xbox series s with gamepass. And yeah Persona5 is one of greatest jrpg games in the world. 🔥🔥
I'm currently playing this on my Switch, just 👌🏻🔥
This is a good game to play when my friends are not abailible to play Grounded.
So would anyone recommend me buying this cause I didn’t want Gotham knights which is trash but persona looks interesting
100% recommend
@@fishfood8711 I second this
Got it for the switch and working on another play through
Fav game.royal is better than p5 because it makes the in-between time between main story have more story moments instead such dryness like before.i say stick with console if you want the best graphics.switch is perfect if you don't care about graphics.there are slight differences,like the palaces treasures orbs move odd and its very dark in some scenes,still a great experience though
do you think the slight downgrade on the switch robs me of the first time experience of this game or just play it for the first time on ps5?
Basically the adult version on Pokémon lol
I liked and subscribed just for the title
so basically, anime psychonauts? I'm in
Never played this but boy this is freakin awesome as hell thank you Microsoft
Never heard about this game but since I love old school final fantasy games I'm sure I'll love this as it's turn based.

So good. I started playing a few days ago and already have like 18 hrs
question about mc death during battle.
so i just started playing and i died and chose to go back to save room instead of reload because it was about an hour since i last saved. it mentioned something about keeping xp and money, but i am missing some items from that hour played.
does game remove all items from battles between save if you died? or only items that were opened with keys?
I'm hoping them bringing the persona games back leads to a remake of persona 1, 2 and 2eternal punishment.
Great get for gamepass!
Two questions
1 is this really a xbox series x/s exclusive
2 does it have a physical release or is it only in game pass?
Nope Persona 5 Royal came out on PS5,Xbox series X/S,Switch, and PC on the same day. Their are physical copies for platforms
Beat jrpg ever? Please. There’s a long list of games this has to beat to claim that title. Pokémon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Tales of Vesperia, and I could go on and on and on.

@James Starling The combat in Pokemon is so complicated on multiplayer that no other game here comes close to it.
@James Starling Graphics and music are worse? Did we play the same games? Literally Combat, graphics and music are the good things about pokemon. Plus the feeling of adventure
Bro lost the argument by saying Pokémon 😂😂😂 I love Pokémon but it’s not any where near best jrpg
Currently downloading it xD
Only played the original on PlayStation royal has more than enough to justify the edition.

i guess im the only one with 200hours first gameplay 😂 fool around too much i guess
persona 4, dragon quest 11 or xenoblade x are better jrpg's to name a few
After Deathloop I’m playing P5
Wooooo xbox on!🥂😎
Idk why I just can’t get into these games. Definitely catered to one type of crowd I feel
I’m glad Xbox fans can see it too. Definitely best JRPG ever made
Real world = creepy faceless people...
Yeah I call BS on this game being gorgeous when the design choice was that. That's something I'd expect from budget indie games.
Seems too over the top for me idk
I'm about 2 hours into this game and still haven't had a lick of fun yet. Someone told me it is actually 6-8 hours before it becomes fun.
It’s fun on my 1st hour I relate so much to the setting
@@ravee-eh4dd I stuck with it, and 5 hours in, it's getting better. Not exactly fun yet, but I see the light at the end of the prologue tunnel.

Great month for gp😂
🤩✅🤩✅
I'm gonna play it because it's free...but I'm kinda hating the first hour in!
Bro I’m freakin loving it and I’m not a RPG fan
I would definitely give it more than an hour, the game is quite literally still in tutorial until at least 3-4 hours.
I really want to try this but I really don’t like the art style.
so it's basically a better jojo game
edit: is this like pokemon x jojo x jrpg??? never played persona but it looks fun afff
Yes, I mean if it wasn't clear personas are literally based off of stands.
yep best game ever made (jrpg)
Most Expensive jrpg game so far... The price never goes down.. But it's understandable
bad performance on pc -.-
Yea I’ll stick to elden ring.
Totally different type of game, but both are amazing. Give it a try if you have GP
