Persona 5 was released in 2017 in the west and "sets the benchmark for modern Japanese RPGs" according to our 10/10 review of the game. In 2020, Atlus released an updated version of the game with brand new content called Persona 5 Royal, and according to our review "The best JRPG on PS4 just got better".
In this guide, we'll give you some useful tips, tricks, and cheats to help you navigate both games. But if you're new to the series, you'll probably have a few questions about the different versions of the game and which one is right for you, so let's get those out of the way first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Persona 5 Royal? Is Persona 5 Royal a new game?
Persona 5 Royal isn't an entirely new game, it's an "expanded" version of Persona 5 with new content. This includes characters, new confidants, and new locations to explore. A slew of smaller gameplay additions and tweaks are also included, making this, in our opinion, the definitive version of Persona 5.
Is Persona 5 Royal worth it? / Should I buy Persona 5 Royal?
It depends. If you've already played the original game, you'll have to ask yourself how much you want the new content. If you liked Persona 5, chances are you'll enjoy the new content in Persona 5 Royal. If you are totally new to Persona, we recommend getting Persona 5 Royal rather than the original game. If you're not sure, then maybe read our Persona 5 Royal review and decide for yourself.
Persona 5 va-t-the changer?
No, not at the moment. Atlus continues to tease fans, asking them to "let us know" what players want, but at this point the game is still PS4 exclusive.
Do you need to play Persona 4 before Persona 5?
No. All Persona games have their own story and cast. There are recurring characters and themes, but you can easily access any Persona title without any prior knowledge of the series.
