Persona 5 Royal

One of the best modern day JRPGs. A huge upgrade from the base version of the game.

Obrigado pela obra de arte, Atlus.

If I've learned anything from this remaster, it's that the new folks on the Persona team over at Atlus know what they're doing. I had my worries. I know of the controversies; the poorly handled gay swingers in Shinjuku and on the Beach, the very questionable romance choices... yes, there were some problems, but they didn't devalue Persona 5 as a game at all, nor did the fixing of one of them. The truth is, when I played Persona 5, I thought it would be a near insurmountable task to make a better game. Even the menu screens were polished beyond belief. The music was superb and groundbreaking, the setting and thematic choices were incredibly attractive and fitting, and the artstyle was profoundly stylish. The game itself was above average, as was the story; definitely room for improvement in those departments. That's where Royal shines. More character depth, more room for the game to grow, and most importantly: actually fun dungeons. Yes, even the dungeons known to be notoriously bad and boring in the base edition were made truly fun in the Royal remaster (at least, in my opinion). The characters went from incredibly to extraordinary in their execution, and the introduction of psychology was a brilliant idea for a game which involves diving into people's minds; one that was well executed too, but for reasons I can't say as it would be spoiling the game. Needless to say that the Royal remaster of Persona 5 took an already superb game and improved upon it, turning it into a leader among games which cannot be overthrown, at least not for a very long time. Now, if they could only improve the character models a bit more, then I'd have no room for any complaints whatsoever. That's pretty much about the only negative I can think of, and it's not that they're really even that bad, they're just not as stellar as the rest of the game's aspects.

Very fun

Los juegos de Personas se han caracterizado por ser muy buenos de juegos del genero JRPG y este juego no es la excepción. Si te gustan los simuladores de vida, las "waifus y los rpgs de la vieja escuela, no lo dudes y compralo, vale la pena. Pero hay un pequeño detalle en relación con la primera version y la royal. Si bien la royal tiene 2 personajes y un "nivel" extra que agrega aprox. unas 15 horas de juego, algunas mejoras en las mecanicas del juego, unas ligeras mejoras en el "performance" del juego (esta adaptado para que corra mejor en ps4 pro) é incluye todo el dlc de la primera version, humildemente pienso que por esas mejoras no vale la pena pagar lo que cuesta la version Royal. Por eso recomiendo que si nunca has jugado un juego de Persona y solo quieres checar que tal estan, compra la primera version que es más barata y asi, si te decepciona, no te va a doler el codo por haber hecho el gasto pero si ya sabes de que va la serie y que por "x" ó por "y" no lo jugaste cuando salio originalmente (como yó) pues compra la version que te indique tu bolsillo.

FANTASTIC game. I wholeheartedly love the style, the music is great, the characters are great, and it's just a fun time. It's fun engaging in the turn-based combat as someone that's always like strategy games, and nothing really feels too hard or impossible. The story is great too, though it does cover some rather weighty subjects here and there. Still though, fantastic game if you have the time for it.
