Persona 5 Royal
Jul. 11th, 2020 06:01 pmPersona 5 was my favorite game of 2017 (although technically we finished it in early January 2018), and I'd always meant to run through again on New Game Plus, maybe to try another romance and get all of the confidants to the top friendship levels, but I never got around to it, and then I put the idea on hold because I heard that Atlus would be rereleasing the game with extra content, as Persona 5 Royal (apparently this is typical of Persona games)?
We finished it last night, and I am satisfied! Not quite as amazing and revelatory as we found Persona 5, but that's a pretty high bar. The new content made a great addition to the story, and I was pleased at the way new characters and situations were interwoven through the entire game, not just dropped in like a standalone DLC. I don't love all the changes that were made, but if I ever decide to play it yet again, I'll definitely play Royal, not the original.
Okay, the rest is all spoilers, for both games, so let's have a cut. ( Yep, lots of spoilers, for both the original and Royal games. )
