This game is brutally iconic and groundbreaking.

Not my favourite Persona, but still one of the games I love the most, the soundtrack is out of this world, the gameplay is very fast, well done and stylish, and the menus and interfaces are the craziest i've ever seen in any videogame.

The whole idea of the story is really cool, but the pacing really hurts, and i think that the quality of the narrative decreases in every arc, although its never too bad.

Its quite a pain hearing all these teenagers yapping about how this game is the best JRPG ever, but I can't judge them at all, as I thought the same back then. What is undeniable is the extreme quality of the game, and how good it performs in being everyone's first JRPG in this generation, just as FF did back then.

I hope all of them give a try to some other games of the genre! And if by any means, you haven't played P5 yet, dont wait any longer!

I remember I was playing the persona games starting with 3 and I thought this one could be better but it was good, I love akechi

You are a slave, want emancipation?

The above was written on the first promo material I saw for p5, quite possibly the first promo art released. It featured 5 chairs with ball and chains attached, a red background. The image remains one of the most effective marketing ads I've ever seen.
The persona games have been, in modern times, tied to a colour and that colour to a theme. 3 being blue and blue being death, 4 being yellow and yellow being fear. 5 is red and red is rebellion, and I think everything about it stirs to the inner firebrand. The game has a fire about it, has a lot to say about abuse and power and fighting back. Beyond that, it's one of the most effortlessly cool games I've ever seen. A paradox, as games are designed so every inch if this game is filled to the brim with effort. The cast might be the strongest in the series, morgana is a relatively harmless mascot- a problematic mainstay of 3 and 4. Giving Joker more of a personality was an inspired choice, and i can yap for hours about how Ryuji is the platonic ideal of the best friend persona archetype. The music slaps, Royal makes everything better, and it made me want to visit Tokyo so, so bad. A must play.

played this back to back with nier automata in 2017 and haven't been able to experience anything like it since then.


One of, if not the best jrpg I've ever played

OH MY GOD I LOVE PERSONA 5 SO MUCH THE CHARACTERS HAVE SUCH PERSONALITY AND THE BAD GUYS ARE SO EVIL I LOVE KICKING THEIR ASSES. DU DU DU DU DU DU. DU DU DU DU DU. DU DU DU DU DU DU. DU DU DU DU DUU. DU. DU DU. DU. DU DU. DU. DU DU. DU. DU DU. DU DU DU. DU DU. DU DU. DU!!

My favorite of the modern Persona games. It's still got the same issues as every other Hashino directed Persona title, though. Also why are so many of the dating options adult women when you are playing as a protagonist that is still a minor.

This game is truly a masterpiece.

This game marked the day atlus died


For the past 6 years I tell myself I will pick it up again and give it a second chance and I never do

A great LONG ASS game.

I'm glad this exist cuz it opened the gate for really cool looking stuff appearing on the world. There is an alternate timeline in which we don't have as many funky things in UI cuz this game didn't exist.
