![]() It potentially extends the ending of the game by twenty hours or more depending on how much you have left to do in that end-game period, paired with the new content, which includes a brand new dungeon. After each palace, you’ll get to see him talk to a member of the Phantom Thieves about what’s going on in their head and this allows us to see a new side to the team.Īll of the new characters are most important when you hit the third semester which is a new extension for Persona 5 Royal. Takuto is a part-time school counsellor who’s addition to the game works super-well. ![]() The other major new character added to Persona 5 Royal is Takuto Maruki who you’ll meet early in the game much like Kasumi. She is very kick-ass however and I love the story behind her metaverse costume and her rapier weapons. You won’t get to spend time with Kasumi in the metaverse for a long time however, so don’t expect to unlock her early in the game. Here her story is extrapolated and she becomes a really interesting addition to the team, which makes her absence from the upcoming Persona 5 Scramble somewhat confusing, especially when I can already see her becoming a lot of players new “best girl” if they see her story through to the end when it becomes really unique. You’ll spend most of your time with her in the new semester that extends past the original ending of the game. Most of the time you spend with her is one-on-one and it feels disjointed to the main plot. She’s the draw point for returning players and has been the focus of the majority of the Persona 5 Royals marketing efforts, however, she’s not implemented into the early parts of the game very well, and at one stage you simply don’t speak or see her for months. Sprinkled throughout the same story structure as the original game are new scenes with Kasumi Yoshizawa, the new Phantom Thief introduced in Persona 5 Royal. Joker is caught escaping the Casino and then the game is told through flashbacks as he recalls his year up until that point and the adventures he has at both school and the metaverse as both Joker and his growing crew of ‘Phantom Thieves’ pull off a heist that changes the cognitions of criminals, causing them to admit to their horrible crimes. Very quickly Persona 5 Royal reveals its changes to the original game as you use a grappling hook to skip a section of stairs from the original game and as a new character appears to help you in a battle. What he’s done, and who the many voices talking in his ear are all a mystery to you. ![]() Our protagonist, codenamed ‘Joker’, is escaping a Casino with many security guards right on his toes. The game begins very similarly to how it did three years ago. You’ll be partaking in part-time jobs to build your charm and earn cash reading and studying to improve your knowledge, and then you’ll dive into the metaverse where you’ll battle shadows in fast-paced, stylish, turn-based combat. You’ll be spending the majority of your time exploring Tokyo, spending time with your friends as you build relationships with them and learn about their lives. What hasn’t changed is the core Persona 5 experience. The game has a unique art style and presentation that’s only been improved here, although hardcore fans may not love the new intro video. That said, this is easily the version to play as it not only adds some fantastic new characters and locations but also fixes all of my complaints about the original release back in 2017.įrom the moment Persona 5 Royal begins with its flurry of fast animated colours and jazz-pop music, it’s hard not to smile. ![]() I got three palaces in and stopped for some reason. Let me get the elephant out of the room quickly - I never finished Persona 5.
