  5. Back in 2021 I played this and it was an amazing experience. I was completely bored one day and was looking for something to play. I game share with my brother so I looked at his account for something to play and saw persona. I remember hearing it was a good game but knew nothing about it. I did not expect to enjoy this game nearly half as much as I did,

  6. Just to let you know Persona was actually before was Shin Megami Tensei IF an prototype of Persona and it’s a what if the nukes never happened in Shin Megami Tensei 1
    (Correct if I’m wrong also SMT is a real man’s game)

  7. I’ll just comment this cause it surprised me so much when I found out. Ryuji is played by the same voice actor that plays Red XIII in FF7 Remake. They literally sound completely different it’s insane

  21. JC, about ur question at the end…. Just wait bro, the later game has some insane plot twists. Ur jaw is gonna be completely dropped at one scene. Its insane

    (Btw, if you think Persona 5 is dark… you’re gonna be freaked out if you play Persona 3)

  26. 1:02:36 I mean… the game is rated M for a reason lol.

    In seriousness though I played the original game shortly after I started my freshmen year of high school (interestingly about the time I had worn out my fun with zombies chronicles) and idk what it was but something clicked in my head that I was playing my favorite game right when the original intro "Wake Up Get Up Get Out There" started playing. You don't find your favorite game, your favorite game finds you, and it brings me so much joy watching people experience all the twists and turns for the first time. And since Royal came out right when school was starting to shutdown, it really helped me get through those early weeks of the quarantine… well… that and I learned to play guitar but Royal was still a big part of that coping process.

    Oh, best palaces are four, six, and nine… nine especially is *FUCKING INSANE.* Be sure you max out the Faith and Counselor (and Justice if you want some bonus story) in order to access it. I genuinely think palace nine is the best story arc the second best story arc the Persona series has ever done. If you're wondering wondering what I think the best arc in the series is, it's Persona 3 January, but that's a conversation for a different day.

  32. I’m not trying to spoil anything but please after a specific npc shows up, make sure you talk to them and another npc and build your relationships with the two of them so you can get access to the special palace that is a part of Royal. I want you to experience the whole game because it’s truly a blessing🥳

  33. Also fun fact: a big chuck of the outfits actually change the music that plays during and after battle. I love the dance wear and I love the shadow ops songs. The songs are from other persona games and they slap hard
