I played this game 4 times, 2 times on switch and 2 times on PC (playing it for 5th time on PC as of writing this). I can say for sure that this game is the best Persona game ever.
I loved everything about the game. OSTs, Story, Characters, Gameplay, Social Links and even the visuals.
[OSTs +]
I love that they made this game's theme be a Jazz, cozy/relaxing/chill and Pop themed. I have always loved these type of music / songs; it just makes my mood turn from a bad to good. I always listen to P5 and P5R's theme. My favorites and probably the most notable are: "Beneath the Mask (all versions), Ideal and Real (all versions) and Our Beginning. You can even get costume fighting music, by changing your costume too. Compared to P4, the OSTs don't get annoying, if anything I just turn off the Music most of my playthrough on P4 especially on Dungeons; It is very bad compared to P5. P3 was good unlike P4.
[Story & Characters +] (spoiler)
Some people would say that the story is just about Teens who hate adults and sending agendas to the players, for me I disagree. The story of P5 is centered on the experience these teenagers had with the adults, the protag's parents dumped him and did not believe him, now he only has Sojiro to trust and other few adults. Ryuji the experience he had with his dad and Kamoshida and other characters who had it bad.
Characters's story, backgrounds and social links were never boring to me, and it never got irritating to talk to them or hangout with anyone! compared to p4 and p3 social links were an utter garbage with all meaning (p4 had few good social links, mainly your teammates, but the rest are very bad). All of them are interesting on their own.
[Gameplay +]
It's really fun, no matter how many times I play this game. I never got tired of the gameplay. They added showtime and also made "All-Out-Attack" useful rather than it dealing low damage. Farming EXP and money is very easy if you know how to properly fight shadows on mementos faster. Also you can get the confidant rank that makes you just kill the shadows instantly without even the need of fighting, making it easier and more efficient for farming. They added "Show-Time" attack, you don't need to put both partners on the party, you just need one of them, making it easier to strategize and dealing with enemies faster.
While just wondering on Mementos you can see your party member chatting which is really nice.
[Visuals & Places+]
Nice visuals even though I sometimes get drop frames when there are lots of NPCs around in an area, but overall it's good. In rains the graphics is top tear for me, and I just love to wonder around the city with it.
Compared to P4 and P3. P5 is taken on Shibuya which has lots of life in it. in P3 areas were very soulless, but in Reload they fixed it, but it still wasn't as lively as it is in P5, P4 on the other hand takes place in the country part, so it's understandable that it's not that lively (even thought you can't even talk to any of them other than them telling you stuff". The way made all of P5 areas are very good. Palaces are very good built too.
Persona 5 Royal is the best Persona game. Yes, I said it again I know, but it's something lots of people don't realize... I see lots of people saying P3Reload is better than P5Royal for the stupidest reasons, and when it comes to comparing both as WHOLE GAME (and not just story or tiny parts ALL OF IT) P5R always win. P4G is also a very bad Persona remake/expansion... in P5R you are forced to interact with Yoshizawa! But in P4G you have to do it all by yourself. It's so damn lazy P4G's devs I don't care what anyone say.
Rant: Yosuke (p4) is always the best buddy in all of Persona games, then comes Ryuji and finally below trash comes Junpei.
All P5/P5R's OSTs are better than all of the rest games.
Social Links are better in P5R.
Story, writing and character are better in P5R.
P4 had a good story, but the filler events ruined it.
P3 had a shit story, shit characters, shit at everything.
P3's Protag is just a depressed anime femboy, I don't understand why people like him.
