I swear to God the start of this game was so good I already was "alright Persona series you won, take my 4.5/5", the first 30 hours were the best part of the game by far.
The insights into the mystery are still genius.
About the common Persona 5 plot: it's very good. Amazing from the beginning to the middle, mid to the end because this franchise always can't stop the cringe of running away from the main theme and out of nowhere you start fighting a god. Again, the topic was a very good critique of society and suddenly you're against a god.
Gameplay is great and far better than any other Persona. Nothing to say here.
Royal part is mid and basically normal plot, antagonist was great and one of my favorite characters, but as a villain is kinda meh. Everything I saw in Royal part I had seen before in this medium and in other medium as well, the plot itself does not bring anything new except the research of the antagonist and Akechi who is one of the 5 best characters in this game.
Kasumi itself is overrated af, her plot is totally basic. Again, nothing new, I've seen that kind of development 4384837 times. You're lucky if it was your first time, because it's totally generic. Not to mention she was a disappointment. Royal didn't know how to use her in a good way, she was basically cameo for 80 hours.
But this game still is easily the best Persona in EVERY way: narrative, characters, fun, soundtrack... everything. And it's also clearly the one with the best theme. And I really liked the protagonist in this entry. Finally a Persona protagonist that didn't look like a "piece", he actually looked like a worthy protagonist and well used.
I swear I was enjoying the game a lot, a lot, but it's VERY repetitive. This game is long, yes, it's the longest game I've ever played, but this game's script isn't. You basically waste a lot of time doing the same things and the game goes on like this, you literally go to school, farm charm points, kindess and that things, come back, social link and sleep. You do this the whole fucking game. I love stories that take time to happen things, that proceed slowly, my favorite works are very longs slow stories, but Persona is ridiculous. It's one thing to be slow, it's another to spend 50 hours doing the same shit, social links in this franchise isn't that good as well, it's just good character development, not amazing.
So if you haven't had burnout playing this for 100 hours always going to school to study sleeping school social link sleeping school social link sleeping school study sleeping school theather sleeping I unironically say you've a better brain than me, you're better than me. I'm not kidding. You are stronger and superior to me.
TL;DR: I was really enjoying Persona 5 Royal A LOT at first, I really enjoyed playing, but after middle game my mentality was like: JUST END IT END THIS SHIT MOTHERFUCKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
