gameranx I've only used a fighting system like this in South park stick of truth. How difficult is it to learn the fighting system in this game If I am not used to jrpg except yakuza series?
Are you going to say something about Atlas threatening to go after UA-camrs and streamers? It's just shocking that people find it acceptable, to threaten to go after peoples lives and incomes etc.
I'm thinking about buying it, never heard of persona before. Any advice? Not 100% sure if I wanna buy it or not. Don't want it to be 1 of those games I buy and NVR play again
Rick O'Shea lol same, I’m the type that waits to buy games on sale, and I see a sale, sometimes I buy it, and then watch BYB, and sometimes I watch BYB, and then buy it haha
Have been wanting the game and trying to hold back until break. Couldn’t resist and bought it today with my bday money..just played it for 3 hours and I can already tell this was a mistake xD
I remember playing this for 17 straight hours then I tried to sleep but I can't. If you don't want to lose your social life don't play this game. P5 is like a drug, very addictive!
Chasing Chickens Funny enough, I know a guy that started playing this game, and played it every day for like hours on end, so i asked him; Dude, dont you have work? He told me he quit and i asked him why and he said the hours didnt work for him. I was like, wtf? Since when? Hes like “since i started playing this game”. I fucking kid you not.
before you buy know this, are you ready to lose your life for the next 120 hours? are you ready to fall for people that dont even exist and get wrapped up in a virtual life?
MaGiiK WizDom It’s a pretty easy platinum but it’s kind of time consuming because this game is like 100+ hours long depending on how you play it but it’s a lot of fun I’ve platinumed it and I’m still playing it because it has lots of replay value
COMPLETE newcommer to persona, only ever heard of it a couple of times, so i decided to take a gamble and buy persona. I have almost reached the 50 hours mark. i am without a doubt in love.
Fine Nane I bought it for Christmas and have spent around 50 hours on it, it's pretty damn good. If you're thinking about buying it, just be prepared for a shit ton of dialogue, way more than you might be expecting. The game isn't open world but you can walk around certain areas and explore, but you're "timed" for some activities and you'll use you that time doing those activities. You have to balance takedown requests, your bonds with other characters, studying, going out (for social stats), etc. because they all tie in with the combat. I'd recommend it but it's not for everyone either.
Fine Nane Also, the first 6-12 hours are basically a huge tutorial, it isn't so bad but stick with it after the first palace and you'll really like the game.
This is the ultimate feel good game. Love the characters and started to miss them when it was over. I can’t wait to start the game again from scratch. Everyone should play this
old comment, i know but yeah. im 100h in, i can feel the end coming closer. i know I'm gonna have what they call "post persona 5 depression", but at least i have p5r waiting for me. gonna start it as soon as i get done with p5. edit: played p5r twice now, 30h into strikers
I have never experienced the need to grind in Persona 5. The game is perfectly paced. If you complete your main missions quickly, you can use mementos to complete the requests which give a good amount of EXP.
Yeah, this is the grindless persona game i've played. Finished the game (true ending) while i still have lv 30 Jack frost. Still die sometime but it's still really enjoyable
@@m_riidi if you play on any difficulty above normal you'll have to farm eventually. On higher difficulties you can get away with being way below the average lvl but fights get very rough. I played most of the game around 7-12 lvl's below the average lvl, sometimes 20 below. When I was hard headed & didn't want to grind a few lvls most of my fights came down to RNG even when I played well. This game gives you so many options though that even if your under leveled you can still beat anything you want. You just have to put more thought into how you play.
@@m_riidi I had to farm a bit before the final boss just to grow from level 69 to level 84. Took me just 1 hour tho, the 2 enemies before the final boss really know pain now
Masterchief 57 it's not the anime fans he hates its just anime in general. How much do you want to bet that he thinks that every anime is just some slutty girl who has triple d breasts?
Don't buy, big waste of time coming from someone who has the first 4 and PSP versions. This is by far the worst. Doesn't hook you like 4 and 3 and the music sucks!
XBladerz I actually stopped playing this game it pissed me off „free roam“ how is that free roam ? And I only have 14 days to prepare and I do one thing and the whole day is over
den 18 Your playing it incorrectly. During the day your supposed to hang out with 1-2 to confidants then the evening comes, you rather try increasing your attributes or do sojiros confidants
I wouldn't buy a game just because it took 5 years to make if I'm not mistaken Mass Effect Andromeda also took 5 years to make and we all know the trainwreck it ended up being.
My boyfriend convinced me to start playing this game because he was telling me about the Kamoshida story arc and ever since I've been hooked. I've sunk nearly 20 hours into the game and I can't get enough. The turn-based battles are fun and engaging without being too easy, the characters are relatable and enigmatic, making it fun to befriend them, and even living a normal high school life is fun because it makes you think about how to use your time best to help you in other aspect of your life (going through Palaces, studying for tests, working a part-time job, etc.). If you a fan of complex games that make you really take into consideration the nuance details, Persona 5 is my number one pick,
Abigail Weller I always heard about it but didn't het into the Persona Series till Persona 4 Golden and absolutely lived it which made me play Persona 3 and was eagerly awaiting 5. And just as the previous ones, I can't put the game down. Totally blew my weekend sucked onto the game. I actually had to stop because I wake up early for work and been giving myself like 3 hours to sleep. But I can hear it calling me. It's always, I'll save after this, but then keep going and next thing you know it's 2am.
ya persona is a amazing game if you like this one i relly recoment playing the others they have all the others on the playstation vita well sort of they dont have the fighting games which continue the story of 3 and 4 and they have persona 3 portable which dose guy some content but add in some new stuff like the option to play a female character insted of male
This was my first persona game. I played it in small chunks between August and this past weekend with very little of other games in between. It was one of the best 100 hours I've put into a game and before this one Skyrim and Mass Effect we're the only "RPG" games I'd ever truly completed.
This is my first Persona game, I was scared because of the "Don't worry, just sink 100 hours in" thing. But...here I am...2 days later with 20 hours clocked in...
I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm currently trying too learn how to make coffee while studying for exams and eating burgers bigger than my head...how about you?
FrostWarp bro I'm like 6m late but I've done a fuk ton in this game I'm like 280+ hours in on my second play through trying to get the platinum, this game is definitely on my favorite of all times list hands down 👏 bravo ATLUS
Nabinani 777 ps is having a sale, i have never played a persona game but got the ultimate edition with all dlc for $90, played for 7 hours straight after i got it and am loving it so much...$90 is spendy so no problem if you wouldnt wanna fork up that kinda cash they also have the standard edition for $30 and i highly recommend it for that price.
A5AP KillThemAll I need bloodborne lol I keep forgetting to get that when I go to buy games...i just bought this today and the kingdom hearts games that came out in march lol..... I'm super excited for the lord of the rings game for PS4, Friday the 13th, and Spider-Man
A5AP KillThemAll Xbox Exclusives: 1 PS4 Exclusives: 9-10 so far im so glad I PC the DS and PS4 because I have every damn game I want to play. Love this game so far
It's fucking worth it, honestly. Persona is an amazing turn-based jrpg and never has any of the entries in the series disappoint me. Persona 1-5 is a bundle of charm and just overall really awesome games. It is a very niche game for a lot of people but I think it's worth it, I mean, I am not a fan of turn-based games but like pokemon, persona made me addicted to it. Honestly, just buy it right now and see for yourself, persona 5 is so good. Inb4 people calls me a weeb rip
Nocturnal Don't worry. You're not a weeb. people just enjoy putting labels on anyone who enjoys an "anime" game. Simply liking a good game like this shouldn't make someone a weeb
It's fine, I have experienced enough internet to not let ignorant insults bother me. I get what you mean with the "weeb" insult, I think it's just meant to be "funny" like: "Oh so random, I insulted someone who likes anime with weeb so I am pretty funny and shit."
My main gripe about anything Japanese really. All the high school shit. Apparently that trope is the idea that in Japan high school is the last bit of freedom you have before college and becoming a salary man.
It's such a cool game! I absolutely love Joker, and you can tell the creators put a lot of love into the designs of various characters and menus. This game can go in crazy directions and each ending is a tear jerker in their own way. I hope anyone considering buying this game knows that it is a great game and worth the $60 or so that it costs.
Yeah it was a good game I platinum it but it was definitely a letdown story-wise and Chapter 13 was pretty bad. Persona 5 on the other hand I enjoy it from beginning to end and then again on NG+. I platinum'd FFXV on 69 hours while it took me 202 hours for Persona 5. It was a much more enjoyable journey on P5 and I didn't even bother with NG+ on FFXV at all
Xelog Z-star for me I feel like JRPG was quite stagnant and boring these past few years plus most of the one that came out are mostly waifu-focused JRPG so I'm always looking for something to refresh the JRPG. I thought it was FFXV but Persona 5 did it for me
I played Persona 5 few weeks ago, it is my first JRPG and the first "japanese/anime" styled piece of media I have invested time in. I never was a fan of anime etc but I decided to play it because of the reviews and I have to say that I never had more fun in a videogame and I don't remember being so addicted to a singleplayer videogame. It took me 83 hours to finish the first playthrought and I had to play it again because I was having so much fun! Definitely one of the best videogames I've ever played
the moment you know you love the game so goddamn much that - watch all famous youtuber playthrough of the game - dwell into twitch for more live streams - look for reviews and reactions even after you complete the game - fly over to Japan for the game concerts and no, thats definitely not me
Илья Шиманов I mean, it’s pretty hard to play over 100 hours for a single review, not to mention atlus copyrighted videos past a certain date for a while
I love this game... exept for when I die and lose the last 30 min of my time -_- Also when I leave my house to buy something, then I can't enter again -_-
Preordered this game, first persona game I've played, love this game. Favorite OST of all time. High recommendation if you like story heavy games, or JRPGs. Don't recommend if you're impatient.
I have only played Nier and all I can say is that it's a must play. You can't really go wrong either way.. Nier has a really great storyline. Hope you play both eventually.
I played Nier Automata and I think the game is great ! However, if you like a turn-based JRPG, Persona 5 is your go-to game. Personally, I love both but Persona 5 blows me away and it's a 100 hours+ of gameplay.
I have over 65 hours on my first playthrough and since the time adds on to new game +. So I have nearly 100 hours and I don't regret any bit of it. It's such a good game that I'll always come back to. I love the game so much the ending made me tear up abit. Nothing will replace this game in my opinion.
@@sabianwarner5316 If I remember, I think I mainly skipped a lot of the cutscenes or fast forwarded them. Stuff like these. I did all the content though.
That's not true at all, I'm a huge jrpg fan and absolutely can't stand persona games. You have to be a fan of sim style games as well to fully enjoy a niche game like this. The guy in the video literally just said the first -12 hours barely has any combat, how can you possibly say every jrpg fan would like something like that?
Adam Braunstein I bought this game the other day, it's a non stop fun ride trust me. No other game has made me happier or more engaged and entertained than this game has. YES I've bought mass effect andromeda, nier automata, and the new zelda all within the last month, this game takes the cake. I'm only 12 hours in, and I've been erect the entire time.
I mean I'm sure theres enjoyment to be had but I can't stand the high school sim aspect of the game, the combat looks good but everything else is so off putting I don't think I could be able to ignore it.
this is what i like about some of the japanese game, they don't have the fanciest effect but everything just look almost as good as 3A games. they are really good at working within the limit.
Hanyun Song I feel the same! It is like how Nintendo are able to make their exclusive games look excellent on weaker hardware. The art style and presentation matter more to me.
one of my favorite games of all times. I enjoyed Persona 3 and 4, but 5 is the game that made me fall in love with the series. Now, replaying 4 I have even more love for the game and I'm looking forward to revisiting 3 again
I became obsessed as soon as I started playing- I was head over heels and it’s interesting to see his opinion on how he wasn’t crazy about the beginning. Personally, I feel like game drags on later on because you’re doing a lot of the same things, hearing a lot of the same tracks and it gets tedious but when the game first starts out it’s heaven. Once I got to Futabas palace I was kinda starting to play less and less because it felt repetitive, but I still love the game to bits and keep playing.
My friend told me to buy, I wasn't convinced had no idea what it was. Watched your video and still am confused. So I did what any reasonable person would do. I bought it blindly for $10 more at game stop and have clocked 62 hours in one week.
Things to do before you buy Persona 5. Things that might help: - cancel any plans you have for the next month - turn off your phone so you don't get interrupted -buying a yusuke body pillow What to do: 1) Don't watch this video. 2) Get in a car 3) Drive to a game store 4) Buy Persona 5 5) Play Persona 5 You'll thank me
@@NovaSniper12 the nearest shop that sells physical video game copies is like 80km away from where I am right now. it'll get a lot cheaper to just buy the digital copy, you see.
I bought this game about 8 months after the release, not knowing a single thing about it (other than it being a JRPG). And let me just say: HOLY FREAKIN CRAP. I have never been so addicted/in love with a video game before. I've got over 300 hours of game play (spread out between multiple play throughs). I LOVE THIS GAME! Totally worth the random purchase.
Just picked up the game and I love it to death, the story is fantastic, characters are well rounded, and combat is really fun and battles can turn either direction with one or 2 moves. Its not a game for casuals you have to invest your time in order to do well.
this was my first persona game, my first playthrough was a 110 hours this is without a doubt my favorite game overall, its not perfect but I fell in love with this game story, character and the thing like character interction... a day after I finished the game I started it all over again, I just cant wait for persona 5 royale for more of the thing I loved about the original (hopefully it will do as good or even better)
Hey man, there's a dude called BECAUSEVIDEOGAMES who has released his own review of this game but has copied your video footage. He even paraphrases everything that you have said in this video (some lines are just straight up plagiarized). He has about 100,000 views off your own material, I'd get him wacked if I were you.
It's ridiculous. By the looks of it, SuperNaruto170 certainly is not in my generation, he/she seems to be an ignorant child.. But I highly doubt it has anything to do with generation and more to do with ignorance or education or upbringing... yeah that's it, we'll blame the parents... It's Narutos parents fault he/she is an ignorant fuck, or could it just be they were born ignorant and will die ignorant (lets hope it's sooner rather than later...) whatever it is, someone with that kind of mentality needs to feel shame and is definitely the better candidate for a suicide attempt (fingers crossed)... anyway, I digress... yes James Keegan, it's pretty bad craic aint it?
I knew absolutely nothing about Persona, didn’t even know it existed. I’m thankful that this video was recommended to me when it came out cause now I’m obsessed with not only Persona 5/ Royal but the Persona series as a whole
This is the best game I've ever played. Easily. Sure the start is slower than Kingdom Hearts 2 but I still loved it. Also I'm surprised that you said nothing about the soundtrack cause it's really great.
It was free for PS5 and I heard some many great things I decided to download it, but he’s right it’s extremely hard to get into, you have to invest some time. But it’s 100% worth it, once you learn the game it’s becomes extremely easy. So glad it I stuck with I bought p5 royal and started a new game because I just wanted the best experience.
you cant imagine how happy i am after finding out that is out for ps3 too is going to be my first persona (i didmt have a vita or my old consoles so i missed out on the series)
I bought this recently cause its gone down to 24.99 CAD, never played a persona title before. I've put 60+ hrs in about 3 weeks, only just met the third dungeon deadline, and I love it.
P5 kinda scared me away a bit but this video actually peaked my interests even more! The game mechanics are pretty nice and I see there are tons of choices which I love and a battle system Im not used to at all so it should be fun learning. I'm gonna see if I can get this game and if I do and play it, I'll come back and post my thoughts on it but so far, this game sounds so awesome.
Between persona 5 vanilla and persona 5 royal ive played this game 4 times and it never gets old and the 3rd semester in persona 5 royal is amazing. This was also my first jrpg. Would probably do another playthrough if this game came to pc or switch.
Still going through it now at about 60 hours and I actually loved the first few hours. The characters, story, situation they werew all thrown in and the mystery behind all the crazy palace shit, Kamoshida, Morgana etc. pulled me in even though it was mostly 'walk and press button'.
Woah man I found a copy of this game and before just immediately selling it, I watched this video and decided to give it a try. I’m freaking hooked! I don’t normally play these games but the story and art style is so satisfying. The polish on this game alone makes it worth playing. Thank you for this series of videos.
Y’all made me start persona 5 again. I just realize through a few videos that since I’m 22 hrs in I’m just now sorta getting to the end of the tutorial 😮 this game has been fun, hilarious, memorable and hard asf. I put the game down for a year or two because I couldn’t get pass this one fight. I’m now picking it back up. Hopefully I can beat it, coming back refreshed 😅
As a long time JoJo and Persona fan, it's refreshing to hear someone refer to Personas as being Stand like as opposed to Stands being Persona like. Thank you for this gift 🎉.
Idk the big fascination about this game, I’m at the 3rd palace, seems episodic, you change someones heart in a palace then some emotional self-reflective, society-reflective narrative, rinse and repeat. In between you go socialising at a cafe or restaurant, some generic teenage stuff...
I started persona 5 royal from a scratch and it is so overwhelming that had to stop playing for months at times. I'm finally feeling that I'm in a good pace now after the third dungeon, but now I have to learn the complex strategies of everything after now knowing ''most'' of the basics. This game is definitely the most complicated game I've ever had to learn. I'm getting a feeling though that the 2nd playthrough is gonna more enjoyable for me than the 1st, so I can just blaze through with better knowledge while getting a little bit different of a plot experience as well.
Finally started it, 20 hours in......and holy shit, I finally have a new game to take out RE7(my previous favorite game of 2017) as my new favorite game of the year! Just.....wow. So great!
I am generally new to the RPG/JRPG site. I played Pokemon, but that was it for a while. I played a handful of the Tales Of games and really enjoyed myself, so I wanted to get more into the genre. This video, and others, really helped sell this game for me! Great work!
I'm completly blind for the Persona series, but I wanted to give it a try for some time now. I now bought Persona 5 and I don't think I'll regret it. I'm definetly the type for a JRPG like this one and I'm ready to invest 100 hours into it.
Chrysalis imposter dude you sound just like me. I wanted this game for a long time but I always got another game instead but in February this year I bought it and I’ve beaten it and the new game plus
ZefiroJJ Idk I just remember beating it on ps2 and it changing my entire view of video games. Then I got the psp version and it felt slimmed down. Anyways I never played 4 and I am hoping that playstation streaming thing will let me play 5 on pc.
Josh Jacobs I never played portable but I know fes has a lot more choice and things to do. have more control over things also from what I see. the story was the best thing about fes. persona 4 had way more stuff do to in it but the story in 3 just grabbed me so much more
Looking back at this video 2 years after release and without watching it before playing persona 5 i think it its a great example of the quality of this channel.
the ps3 version is running so smooth its insane, ive had my ps3 since 2008 it was a ps3 slim , and after about 2 years of silence i am playing it again like so much because of persona 5
RebelPrizes Games turn based, it's not super scroll and attack like other turn based RPGs. If you like any Jrpg you'd like this. The only thing you might not really like is that the game doesn't hold your hand. ( actually nevermind saw you had dark souls ) it's a good game. And all the activities you can do are pretty nice and at times make you feel like " wow I need to finish this social link" as you get deeper bonds with friends and get some nice back stories on them
Yes, as Bryan said. If you've liked any Jrpgs in general, then Persona series is gonna be your heartthrob. It combines everything that is good about most Jrpgs. And seeing as you like KH, the story is not gonna be a problem. ( Although, expect a very dark subtext and satire to society. ) All in all what to consider : - It IS turn-based fighting system. - It has a vibe of the catch 'em all Pokemon, collecting "demons." - There can be lots of grinding involved, depends on difficulty choice and your style of gameplay. - The characters are great and you can have relationships with them. You can romance the girls and grown women around you. And as you get to know more about each character, the more fond of them you become. - The writing is a strong satire to real society, very hard-hitting. I can't say those are good or bad points, since it depends on what you prefer. But that pretty much sums up the defining points of the game. Personally I hope you pick it up ! And if you do and like it after all, spread the word !
RebelPrizes If you're expected fast paced action like KH or DkS, just don't. But if you like turn based combat and a very deep story then this is for you
I come here once in a while just to see people's comments, especially the newcomers for the series, this is how much I love this game, the hype in my heart just can't die out even after all these years.
@@Hawke.The.Talontless yeah, take your time buddy, the story of this game is not worth the rush. It's a JRPG, and probably the longest of the series. I also completed it for the first time in the span of few months, in between work etc. But damn, after I finally finished I legit cried when the credits rolled. last year I managed to finished it for the second time with the Royal version.
S'gooood.

Fine Nane I bought it for Christmas and have spent around 50 hours on it, it's pretty damn good. If you're thinking about buying it, just be prepared for a shit ton of dialogue, way more than you might be expecting. The game isn't open world but you can walk around certain areas and explore, but you're "timed" for some activities and you'll use you that time doing those activities. You have to balance takedown requests, your bonds with other characters, studying, going out (for social stats), etc. because they all tie in with the combat. I'd recommend it but it's not for everyone either.
Fine Nane Also, the first 6-12 hours are basically a huge tutorial, it isn't so bad but stick with it after the first palace and you'll really like the game.

old comment, i know but yeah. im 100h in, i can feel the end coming closer. i know I'm gonna have what they call "post persona 5 depression", but at least i have p5r waiting for me. gonna start it as soon as i get done with p5.
edit: played p5r twice now, 30h into strikers
old comment again, but I completely agree. got sick from dark souls and elden ring type games, something like this is definitely a great (long) game
I have never experienced the need to grind in Persona 5. The game is perfectly paced. If you complete your main missions quickly, you can use mementos to complete the requests which give a good amount of EXP.

Yeah, this is the grindless persona game i've played.
Finished the game (true ending) while i still have lv 30 Jack frost.
Still die sometime but it's still really enjoyable
@@m_riidi if you play on any difficulty above normal you'll have to farm eventually. On higher difficulties you can get away with being way below the average lvl but fights get very rough. I played most of the game around 7-12 lvl's below the average lvl, sometimes 20 below.
When I was hard headed & didn't want to grind a few lvls most of my fights came down to RNG even when I played well. This game gives you so many options though that even if your under leveled you can still beat anything you want. You just have to put more thought into how you play.
@@m_riidi I had to farm a bit before the final boss just to grow from level 69 to level 84. Took me just 1 hour tho, the 2 enemies before the final boss really know pain now

You need money. And a PS4.

Masterchief 57 it's not the anime fans he hates its just anime in general. How much do you want to bet that he thinks that every anime is just some slutty girl who has triple d breasts?
Vladimir Rasplicka I never talked about my opinion, normie. I spoke that you should fuck off. Forever.
Don't buy, big waste of time coming from someone who has the first 4 and PSP versions. This is by far the worst. Doesn't hook you like 4 and 3 and the music sucks!
I'm a newcomer to the series but this game is awesome. Being a mix of sims final fantasy and Pokémon
Sims...
okay... I guess...
Cole Waddell well the thing is...SMT existed before Pokemon does
Pokemon got the idea from SMT most likely
Pokemon wasn't the first monster collecting series. It's just the most popular due to broad appeal.
Cole Waddell Sims? Uh...alright then...
Got the game 13 hours ago. Some how, I already have 13 hours of gameplay.
Jacob A. Gallant Holy shit, that took 2 months

This game made me want to die
Brandon Gray ok who dafuck skips through dialogue and why bro
XBladerz I actually stopped playing this game it pissed me off „free roam“ how is that free roam ? And I only have 14 days to prepare and I do one thing and the whole day is over
Shidos palace made me cry like 80 times and the last mementos is so aids it takes at least 2 hours to finish if your extremely good
den 18 Your playing it incorrectly. During the day your supposed to hang out with 1-2 to confidants then the evening comes, you rather try increasing your attributes or do sojiros confidants
Being a Persona fan and having played the previous Persona, this is a must have
Semi-attractive Asian considering it took 5 years to make. ofcourse its a must buy
Completely agree to this. it has become my personal favorite Persona game in the whole serie.
I wouldn't buy a game just because it took 5 years to make if I'm not mistaken Mass Effect Andromeda also took 5 years to make and we all know the trainwreck it ended up being.
Semi-attractive Asian play 1, 2, and 3
Shawn Kucinski sure. you do you.
It's a crime if you don't buy this game. You have been warned.
20 days till the deadline to buy Persona 5, otherwise your prohibited and kicked out of the house!
SquishyFruit it's illegal to be broke apparently
it too late, it's be "before you play" at this point
Videl Very true though, I'm picking up the game tomorrow :D
My boyfriend convinced me to start playing this game because he was telling me about the Kamoshida story arc and ever since I've been hooked. I've sunk nearly 20 hours into the game and I can't get enough. The turn-based battles are fun and engaging without being too easy, the characters are relatable and enigmatic, making it fun to befriend them, and even living a normal high school life is fun because it makes you think about how to use your time best to help you in other aspect of your life (going through Palaces, studying for tests, working a part-time job, etc.). If you a fan of complex games that make you really take into consideration the nuance details, Persona 5 is my number one pick,
My first Persona game and omg it's so good. I've been missing out!
Abigail Weller better late than never
It's amazing. The combat, the story. I'm loving it. I've played some of the SMT games and really enjoyed them as well.
and u are a girl. wow rare specimen
Abigail Weller I always heard about it but didn't het into the Persona Series till Persona 4 Golden and absolutely lived it which made me play Persona 3 and was eagerly awaiting 5. And just as the previous ones, I can't put the game down. Totally blew my weekend sucked onto the game. I actually had to stop because I wake up early for work and been giving myself like 3 hours to sleep. But I can hear it calling me. It's always, I'll save after this, but then keep going and next thing you know it's 2am.
ya persona is a amazing game if you like this one i relly recoment playing the others they have all the others on the playstation vita well sort of they dont have the fighting games which continue the story of 3 and 4 and they have persona 3 portable which dose guy some content but add in some new stuff like the option to play a female character insted of male
I'm a returning fan and I can already say its my favorite. so much love went into the game.

This was my first persona game. I played it in small chunks between August and this past weekend with very little of other games in between. It was one of the best 100 hours I've put into a game and before this one Skyrim and Mass Effect we're the only "RPG" games I'd ever truly completed.
Same. P5 has a great story and character development. It sucks you into its world
This is my first Persona game, I was scared because of the "Don't worry, just sink 100 hours in" thing. But...here I am...2 days later with 20 hours clocked in...
I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm currently trying too learn how to make coffee while studying for exams and eating burgers bigger than my head...how about you?
FrostWarp try to impersonating as if it was you for me I do the dungeon Saturday or Friday
The team that Made person 5 should thank you because you hooked me up
FrostWarp bro I'm like 6m late but I've done a fuk ton in this game I'm like 280+ hours in on my second play through trying to get the platinum, this game is definitely on my favorite of all times list hands down 👏 bravo ATLUS

Nabinani 777 ps is having a sale, i have never played a persona game but got the ultimate edition with all dlc for $90, played for 7 hours straight after i got it and am loving it so much...$90 is spendy so no problem if you wouldnt wanna fork up that kinda cash they also have the standard edition for $30 and i highly recommend it for that price.

Great decision
Do you like JRPGs?
Yes? - Buy it!
No? - Buy it for the story.
It's fucking worth it, honestly. Persona is an amazing turn-based jrpg and never has any of the entries in the series disappoint me. Persona 1-5 is a bundle of charm and just overall really awesome games. It is a very niche game for a lot of people but I think it's worth it, I mean, I am not a fan of turn-based games but like pokemon, persona made me addicted to it. Honestly, just buy it right now and see for yourself, persona 5 is so good.
Inb4 people calls me a weeb rip
Nocturnal Don't worry. You're not a weeb. people just enjoy putting labels on anyone who enjoys an "anime" game. Simply liking a good game like this shouldn't make someone a weeb
Nocturnal weeb
It's fine, I have experienced enough internet to not let ignorant insults bother me. I get what you mean with the "weeb" insult, I think it's just meant to be "funny" like: "Oh so random, I insulted someone who likes anime with weeb so I am pretty funny and shit."
thanks cookieeeeeee
jay from the kubzscouts makes the game seem so fun, and it actually is.
This game makes me jump into the story so deep. Hope the next persona is about college student

It's such a cool game! I absolutely love Joker, and you can tell the creators put a lot of love into the designs of various characters and menus. This game can go in crazy directions and each ending is a tear jerker in their own way. I hope anyone considering buying this game knows that it is a great game and worth the $60 or so that it costs.

Shout out to Gameranx for playing on 4/20 in the game footage. lol
I just noticed that too. XD
School starts in April in Japan so that's just the start of the game.
Freyr it really confused me when I started playing this on the same exact day as the first day of the game
lmao I guess it is.
Persona 5 IMO is probably one of if not the best JRPG of this generation.
No
@@sastac k troller
By far the best jrpg game I've played in my life.

Fuck yeah! It was a second life lol
Petition for him to make a new review for P5 Royal
FFXV was supposed to save JRPG but it failed. Thank God Persona 5 managed to save JRPG.
FFXV was still pretty good imo
Tunky Wirawansyah yeah FFXV did not do JRPG's justice. This game has.
Yeah it was a good game I platinum it but it was definitely a letdown story-wise and Chapter 13 was pretty bad. Persona 5 on the other hand I enjoy it from beginning to end and then again on NG+. I platinum'd FFXV on 69 hours while it took me 202 hours for Persona 5. It was a much more enjoyable journey on P5 and I didn't even bother with NG+ on FFXV at all
since when was JRPG In danger?
Xelog Z-star for me I feel like JRPG was quite stagnant and boring these past few years plus most of the one that came out are mostly waifu-focused JRPG so I'm always looking for something to refresh the JRPG. I thought it was FFXV but Persona 5 did it for me
I played Persona 5 few weeks ago, it is my first JRPG and the first "japanese/anime" styled piece of media I have invested time in. I never was a fan of anime etc but I decided to play it because of the reviews and I have to say that I never had more fun in a videogame and I don't remember being so addicted to a singleplayer videogame. It took me 83 hours to finish the first playthrought and I had to play it again because I was having so much fun!
Definitely one of the best videogames I've ever played
I put 3hrs into this game last night, had to turn it off because it was 2am!! Got just past the castle and I'm hooked!!!
the moment you know you love the game so goddamn much that
- watch all famous youtuber playthrough of the game
- dwell into twitch for more live streams
- look for reviews and reactions even after you complete the game
- fly over to Japan for the game concerts
and no, thats definitely not me

I love this game... exept for when I die and lose the last 30 min of my time -_- Also when I leave my house to buy something, then I can't enter again -_-
Preordered this game, first persona game I've played, love this game. Favorite OST of all time. High recommendation if you like story heavy games, or JRPGs. Don't recommend if you're impatient.
I can only afford Nier Automata or this, so I'm in quite the predicament.
can't go wrong with either one. Both devs are great and should be supported.
Reagon Alford both games are great. its a win win for you. however im just like 8hrs into persona 5 im already blown away.
I have only played Nier and all I can say is that it's a must play. You can't really go wrong either way.. Nier has a really great storyline. Hope you play both eventually.
Reagon Alford this
I played Nier Automata and I think the game is great ! However, if you like a turn-based JRPG, Persona 5 is your go-to game. Personally, I love both but Persona 5 blows me away and it's a 100 hours+ of gameplay.
Before you buy, ask yourself: why haven't I already bought this game?
Tony De La Torre Because I don't have money
lel sad
After finally looking into this game this was my first thought 😂
Because I didn't realize it was available for ps3 at launch, so here I am now hyping myself up to buy it.
@@kelise1443 u think it’s worth it for me?
I have over 65 hours on my first playthrough and since the time adds on to new game +. So I have nearly 100 hours and I don't regret any bit of it. It's such a good game that I'll always come back to. I love the game so much the ending made me tear up abit. Nothing will replace this game in my opinion.
How the hell did you get 65 hours on your 1st run? I've got 120 hours on 1 single run x.x
@@sabianwarner5316 If I remember, I think I mainly skipped a lot of the cutscenes or fast forwarded them. Stuff like these. I did all the content though.
There shouldn't be a before you buy episode for this game. EVERYONE should just buy it.
Exactly Persona 5 is a must have for anyone that's a fan of JRPGs.
Shawn Kucinski its called choice
That's not true at all, I'm a huge jrpg fan and absolutely can't stand persona games. You have to be a fan of sim style games as well to fully enjoy a niche game like this. The guy in the video literally just said the first -12 hours barely has any combat, how can you possibly say every jrpg fan would like something like that?
Adam Braunstein I bought this game the other day, it's a non stop fun ride trust me. No other game has made me happier or more engaged and entertained than this game has. YES I've bought mass effect andromeda, nier automata, and the new zelda all within the last month, this game takes the cake. I'm only 12 hours in, and I've been erect the entire time.
I mean I'm sure theres enjoyment to be had but I can't stand the high school sim aspect of the game, the combat looks good but everything else is so off putting I don't think I could be able to ignore it.
this is what i like about some of the japanese game, they don't have the fanciest effect but everything just look almost as good as 3A games. they are really good at working within the limit.
Hanyun Song I feel the same! It is like how Nintendo are able to make their exclusive games look excellent on weaker hardware. The art style and presentation matter more to me.
If you love anime, you'll love this game. I wish I could play more often, but I'm a busy guy haha.
one of my favorite games of all times. I enjoyed Persona 3 and 4, but 5 is the game that made me fall in love with the series. Now, replaying 4 I have even more love for the game and I'm looking forward to revisiting 3 again
Bought my PS4 for this game... and I dont regret it AT ALL. So good.
Wow smh
It's a classic
I became obsessed as soon as I started playing- I was head over heels and it’s interesting to see his opinion on how he wasn’t crazy about the beginning. Personally, I feel like game drags on later on because you’re doing a lot of the same things, hearing a lot of the same tracks and it gets tedious but when the game first starts out it’s heaven. Once I got to Futabas palace I was kinda starting to play less and less because it felt repetitive, but I still love the game to bits and keep playing.
😊
My friend told me to buy, I wasn't convinced had no idea what it was. Watched your video and still am confused. So I did what any reasonable person would do. I bought it blindly for $10 more at game stop and have clocked 62 hours in one week.
just bought it on amazon for 9 bucks.
Things to do before you buy Persona 5.
Things that might help:
- cancel any plans you have for the next month
- turn off your phone so you don't get interrupted
-buying a yusuke body pillow
What to do:
1) Don't watch this video.
2) Get in a car
3) Drive to a game store
4) Buy Persona 5
5) Play Persona 5
You'll thank me
why should I drive anywhere if I can purchase the game from the PS store?
KysymysMerkki probably because you’ll won’t be seeing/interacting with the outside world for a long time, that’s my guess.
@@NovaSniper12 the nearest shop that sells physical video game copies is like 80km away from where I am right now. it'll get a lot cheaper to just buy the digital copy, you see.
I bought this game about 8 months after the release, not knowing a single thing about it (other than it being a JRPG). And let me just say: HOLY FREAKIN CRAP. I have never been so addicted/in love with a video game before. I've got over 300 hours of game play (spread out between multiple play throughs). I LOVE THIS GAME! Totally worth the random purchase.
Just picked up the game and I love it to death, the story is fantastic, characters are well rounded, and combat is really fun and battles can turn either direction with one or 2 moves. Its not a game for casuals you have to invest your time in order to do well.
I bought Persona 5 with all DLC without playing any of the previous games and only seeing one trailer
It was so worth it
First persona game I ever play and it has me hooked
This is my first persona game and I put in 30 hours already! I honestly love it and I hope to get more into the series in the future!
this was my first persona game, my first playthrough was a 110 hours this is without a doubt my favorite game overall, its not perfect but I fell in love with this game story, character and the thing like character interction... a day after I finished the game I started it all over again, I just cant wait for persona 5 royale for more of the thing I loved about the original (hopefully it will do as good or even better)
Hey man, there's a dude called BECAUSEVIDEOGAMES who has released his own review of this game but has copied your video footage. He even paraphrases everything that you have said in this video (some lines are just straight up plagiarized). He has about 100,000 views off your own material, I'd get him wacked if I were you.

PREACH BROTHA, PREACH!
I knew absolutely nothing about Persona, didn’t even know it existed. I’m thankful that this video was recommended to me when it came out cause now I’m obsessed with not only Persona 5/ Royal but the Persona series as a whole
“Witness my Stand!! Captain Kid!!!”
This is the best game I've ever played. Easily. Sure the start is slower than Kingdom Hearts 2 but I still loved it.
Also I'm surprised that you said nothing about the soundtrack cause it's really great.
This game gets a perfect score from me 10/10 it's some of the most perfect a game can get imo
Persona 5 is literally one of the greatest games ever and better than the first 4 even the remakes of 4 and 3.
It was free for PS5 and I heard some many great things I decided to download it, but he’s right it’s extremely hard to get into, you have to invest some time. But it’s 100% worth it, once you learn the game it’s becomes extremely easy. So glad it I stuck with I bought p5 royal and started a new game because I just wanted the best experience.
you cant imagine how happy i am after finding out that is out for ps3 too
is going to be my first persona (i didmt have a vita or my old consoles so i missed out on the series)
I bought this recently cause its gone down to 24.99 CAD, never played a persona title before. I've put 60+ hrs in about 3 weeks, only just met the third dungeon deadline, and I love it.
P5 kinda scared me away a bit but this video actually peaked my interests even more! The game mechanics are pretty nice and I see there are tons of choices which I love and a battle system Im not used to at all so it should be fun learning. I'm gonna see if I can get this game and if I do and play it, I'll come back and post my thoughts on it but so far, this game sounds so awesome.
How was it?
Between persona 5 vanilla and persona 5 royal ive played this game 4 times and it never gets old and the 3rd semester in persona 5 royal is amazing. This was also my first jrpg. Would probably do another playthrough if this game came to pc or switch.
Got this game the other and I honestly cannot stop, on top of it all it is my first turn based game
Still going through it now at about 60 hours and I actually loved the first few hours. The characters, story, situation they werew all thrown in and the mystery behind all the crazy palace shit, Kamoshida, Morgana etc. pulled me in even though it was mostly 'walk and press button'.
Woah man I found a copy of this game and before just immediately selling it, I watched this video and decided to give it a try. I’m freaking hooked! I don’t normally play these games but the story and art style is so satisfying. The polish on this game alone makes it worth playing. Thank you for this series of videos.
Y’all made me start persona 5 again. I just realize through a few videos that since I’m 22 hrs in I’m just now sorta getting to the end of the tutorial 😮 this game has been fun, hilarious, memorable and hard asf. I put the game down for a year or two because I couldn’t get pass this one fight. I’m now picking it back up. Hopefully I can beat it, coming back refreshed 😅
For the newcomers, Personas = Stands.
D0T OOOOOOOOH THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
stands?
D0T I don't get it, pls explain
watch JoJo bizzare adventure. That shit is good but weird ass hell lmao
As a long time JoJo and Persona fan, it's refreshing to hear someone refer to Personas as being Stand like as opposed to Stands being Persona like. Thank you for this gift 🎉.
Idk the big fascination about this game, I’m at the 3rd palace, seems episodic, you change someones heart in a palace then some emotional self-reflective, society-reflective narrative, rinse and repeat. In between you go socialising at a cafe or restaurant, some generic teenage stuff...
Got this for Christmas and I got no regrets
I started persona 5 royal from a scratch and it is so overwhelming that had to stop playing for months at times. I'm finally feeling that I'm in a good pace now after the third dungeon, but now I have to learn the complex strategies of everything after now knowing ''most'' of the basics. This game is definitely the most complicated game I've ever had to learn. I'm getting a feeling though that the 2nd playthrough is gonna more enjoyable for me than the 1st, so I can just blaze through with better knowledge while getting a little bit different of a plot experience as well.
Amazing game. The music is worth the buy alone
Finally started it, 20 hours in......and holy shit, I finally have a new game to take out RE7(my previous favorite game of 2017) as my new favorite game of the year! Just.....wow. So great!
...... HOOKED!!!!
I am generally new to the RPG/JRPG site. I played Pokemon, but that was it for a while. I played a handful of the Tales Of games and really enjoyed myself, so I wanted to get more into the genre. This video, and others, really helped sell this game for me! Great work!
I'm completly blind for the Persona series, but I wanted to give it a try for some time now. I now bought Persona 5 and I don't think I'll regret it. I'm definetly the type for a JRPG like this one and I'm ready to invest 100 hours into it.
Chrysalis imposter dude you sound just like me. I wanted this game for a long time but I always got another game instead but in February this year I bought it and I’ve beaten it and the new game plus
But will this go up against the obvious GOTY winner, Mass Effect Andromeda?
Nothing can compete with Mass Defect Andromeduh.
Nah. Horizon has Mass Effect beat. No question about it
Sarcasm. It's probably time for bed.
JustDoIt black tiger is goty obviously
JustDoIt Can't get GOTY with competition like Zelda sadly.
ughhh I miss playing persona. person 3fes was my favorite
sam persona 3 is my personal favourite too :)
Josh Jacobs portable wasn't as good and you have less control.
ZefiroJJ Idk I just remember beating it on ps2 and it changing my entire view of video games. Then I got the psp version and it felt slimmed down. Anyways I never played 4 and I am hoping that playstation streaming thing will let me play 5 on pc.
Josh Jacobs I never played portable but I know fes has a lot more choice and things to do. have more control over things also from what I see. the story was the best thing about fes. persona 4 had way more stuff do to in it but the story in 3 just grabbed me so much more
ZefiroJJ same it was my first too. it was so amazing. I'm hoping to play this one if I can pick up a ps3 for cheap maybe
Looking back at this video 2 years after release and without watching it before playing persona 5 i think it its a great example of the quality of this channel.
I'm new to persona but I'm thinking of buying P5. I really love the design and characters. RIP wallet.
xDarrkShux yeah, it's worth it.
Get it it's so fun
the ps3 version is running so smooth its insane, ive had my ps3 since 2008 it was a ps3 slim , and after about 2 years of silence i am playing it again like so much because of persona 5
homobono soriano I've heard there was some screen tearing, is it fixed?
That's because this game was originally for ps3 then delayed for years. Technically, you are playing the original.
Machines built to last. Nice.
What if I never played a persona game, but love games like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and Dark Souls?
RebelPrizes Games turn based, it's not super scroll and attack like other turn based RPGs. If you like any Jrpg you'd like this. The only thing you might not really like is that the game doesn't hold your hand. ( actually nevermind saw you had dark souls ) it's a good game. And all the activities you can do are pretty nice and at times make you feel like " wow I need to finish this social link" as you get deeper bonds with friends and get some nice back stories on them
Yes, as Bryan said.
If you've liked any Jrpgs in general,
then Persona series is gonna be your heartthrob.
It combines everything that is good about most Jrpgs.
And seeing as you like KH, the story is not gonna be a problem.
( Although, expect a very dark subtext and satire to society. )
All in all what to consider :
- It IS turn-based fighting system.
- It has a vibe of the catch 'em all Pokemon, collecting "demons."
- There can be lots of grinding involved, depends on difficulty choice and your style of gameplay.
- The characters are great and you can have relationships with them.
You can romance the girls and grown women around you.
And as you get to know more about each character, the more fond of them you become.
- The writing is a strong satire to real society, very hard-hitting.
I can't say those are good or bad points, since it depends on what you prefer. But that pretty much sums up the defining points of the game.
Personally I hope you pick it up !
And if you do and like it after all, spread the word !
RebelPrizes And How about Pokemon and Zelda :)?
RebelPrizes play final fantasy x
RebelPrizes If you're expected fast paced action like KH or DkS, just don't. But if you like turn based combat and a very deep story then this is for you
I come here once in a while just to see people's comments, especially the newcomers for the series, this is how much I love this game, the hype in my heart just can't die out even after all these years.
Picking it up again tonight after playing half of it or so when it first came out
Slow start but so worth the wait
@@Hawke.The.Talontless yeah, take your time buddy, the story of this game is not worth the rush. It's a JRPG, and probably the longest of the series. I also completed it for the first time in the span of few months, in between work etc. But damn, after I finally finished I legit cried when the credits rolled. last year I managed to finished it for the second time with the Royal version.
