"Atlus "Persona 5" is a JRPG that needs to be experienced. As it’s everything I expected from a Persona game with new innovations that made it more interesting to play, and this is the reason why" - Justin Easler, TGG
Since its release in 2016, the "Persona 5" series has won numerous game awards around the world and received enthusiastic support from everyone, with cumulative sales of over 10 million units worldwide.
In the world of video games, there’s no genre quite as notoriously difficult to get into as the Turn-Based RPG. Lets review a few RPGs you can play if you’ve tried the biggest and best in turn-based combat and never found it appealing.
Sea of stars while seeming pretty good so far doesn't belong in the top rpg discussion. There's way better ones. I'd tell them to play star ocean 2. One of the best non turn based rpgs ever. It has everything.
And if the list is limited to just turn-based RPGs, I can think of better ones to add to this list. You have the Dragon Quest series, the Trails series…Persona 5 Royale is on the list but why limit it to just that one? P3 and P4 were great as well.
The Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, or the Shadow Hearts games has decent enjoyable turn based combat system.
The Persona 5 sub-series has surpassed 9 million copies worldwide and now contributes to over 50% of the series' total sales.
Would be plus+1 more if they'd settle the fk down and stop re releasing it. I'm waiting on the definitive one over here
It's ok, I bought 4 to your zero, they don't need your pity purchase. Every version was definitive and has their own perks.
while Atlus constantly make great JRPGs I wouldn't say they did it "again" because Persona is a big leap in quality and production ifor MegaTen games, it represents a NEW standard for Atlus.
This is truly an special!!
I love games that break the mold and deliver something entirely different from the game-y, mainstream others. One would be skeptical about the high school, social simulation part, but imo that is the best part of this game. And, that says something about how awesome the characters, the writing, and the plot are. The metaverse part combat are just the icing on the cake; it's So good to be playing a turn Based RPG again. This is definitely better than that Trash called Final Fantasy XV
Well done Atlus!
11/10 from me. My GOTY without a doubt
Imo, this is a GOTY with no doubt.
Persona 5 was my very first Persona game, so I can't say anything about the previous titles in the series, but I really enjoy PE5.
