The lore is intentionally vague to a frustrating degree and drip-fed to players in small amounts throughout the year by using character's birthdays. The gacha system actually sucks and all of the players are very annoying. Genuinely a very fun game to play with friends, and that's its greatest appeal to me. I play this game every day btw.

A wonderful and satisfying ending to a phenomenal series. All of the characters in the Erickson group are likable and feel much more like Clementine's equal than the characters in the past. All of the episodes are very strong, and the story is very well-written. Clementine and AJ are the heart of this game while characters like Violet also manage to shine through.
The ending intentionally draws parallels to the first season in a way that brings out nostalgia and a bittersweet feeling of finally ending this series after so long.

A truly amazing game and a perfect closer to the trilogy. This is what Ace Attorney games should aspire to be. Every case is interwoven and connected to each other AND the past games in a way that you wouldn't expect. The twists and mysteries are amazing, and this game has the most effective and well-written villain in the entire series.
Case 3-5 is a masterpiece in itself, but it would be nothing without the others to properly set it up.

Just to say: despite many attempts to play this game, I've accepted that it's just not for me. I've heard nothing but decent things about the story, but I genuinely can't get through the first jail. I love Persona 5, but the gameplay style of Hyrule Warriors is genuinely a drag and agonizing to sit through.
One of the best opening cases in the entire series, and although the last case feels a bit anti-climactic, the mystery is as complex and clever as expected. The new characters in this game are a wonderful addition, and it's a shame that the games after this one try to erase it's most interesting plot-points.

This is one of my favorite games ever, and definitely a champion among JRPGS. It has excellent battle mechanics, loveable characters, and a good premise: powerless people getting back at abusive and corrupt adults.
It is an improvement on the original vanilla game in every way, especially with the new third-semester arc and the addition of Goro Akechi's confidant. Kasumi and Maruki are wonderful additions as well, and all three characters are spectacularly written.
I can't justify giving it five stars though, because the story is well-written until it isn't. At points, the game has times where the characters act out-of-character for the sake of the plot. Also, while each thief is an amazing character on their own, the game struggles with making them feel like anything more than co-workers in regard to their relationships with each other.
I critique because I love. Persona 5 Royal is truly an amazing game, especially compared to the original base game.
