Persona 5 Royal: Steelbook Launch Edition for PlayStation 4

Product Information

You’ll have to replay a lot of content, but the new story beats, characters, and gameplay changes are worth the time. If you’ve never played Persona 5, and the idea of a lengthy JRPG about making friends, making evil adults admit their crimes, and fighting monsters sounds cool, this is the definitive way to experience the game. Akechi’ s Briefcase Bag - a replica of the boy detective Akechi’s signature briefcase, now a 15” bag with a logo on the front. Be aware of some problematic plot elements that are not totally fixed. But the game is stylish, full of things to do, and still one of the most interesting JRPGs of this console generation. If that wasn’t enough, every character portrait has been redrawn, providing more flexible faces. Characters now feel far more fleshed out.

There are three digital editions for Persona 5 Royal. The Persona 5 Royal standard edition includes Persona 5 Royal. The Persona 5 Royal Deluxe Edition includues the game and the Persona 5 Royal Kasumi Costume Bundle. The Persona 5 Royal Ultimate Edition includes the following: CGMagazine gave Persona 5 Royal a score of 9/10 and called it "one of the best Switch ports to date": Now that Sega and Atlus have started to bring the previously-PlayStation exclusive series’s main entries to all platforms this week, the question immediately became how the Switch would handle a game previously exclusive to the PlayStation 4. And after several months of student life and stylish fighting, Persona 5 Royal holds up perfectly in its portable form."

Beyond those obvious additions, Atlus made a lot of minor tweaks to the wider game, which make its moment-to-moment gameplay more enjoyable. Certain plot-important scenes that were previously silent now feature full voice acting; Confidants now call you after hangouts, helping you raise their rank faster; and Morgana no longer shouts at you to go straight to bed all the time. You may not always be able to go out at night, but you’ll always have the option of watching TV, studying, reading a book, building tools, or brewing coffee on nights when you’re too tired to leave the house, giving you so much more time to raise your stats. I can’t tell you how happy I was at not being constantly told to go to sleep when I just wanted to go downstairs and make coffee. These little changes all make the world of Royal a little less stilted, and a little more alive, which helps the pace of the game feel a lot smoother. Persona 5 Royal finally arrived in the West on March 31, 2020 and with it came a plethora of DLC including both free and paid content. There were multiple editions and DLC bundles released for the game on PS4. For the new PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Steam versions of the game, all the P5R DLC will be included from the start as confirmed by Atlus West.

Customer reviews

I shan't get this version, but I can't wait to finally be able to play Persona's 3 & 4 on Switch in a couple months! The only truly terrible aspect of dungeon exploration — inexplicably bad in the original game, and not much improved in Royal — is negotiation conversations when trying to convince new Personas to join your team. They’re still bizarrely written; each question Personas ask just doesn’t match the dialogue options I’m given to respond with. It’s bafflingly stilted writing in an otherwise brilliantly written game.
