Persona 5

Very good combination of Anime and Acid Jazz and Rhodes. 11/10 soundtracks. This game made me a turned based game fan and JRPG fan. Such a amazing game.

As someone who normally dislikes Anime and doesn't care for RPG's, this was an absolute blast to play. Great gameplay, great story and even good voice acting for the most part (A few side characters sound pretty eh like the Gamer kid who sounds like a 60 year old woman along with a lot of the voices of the nameless extra characters being out of place and terrible). There are some issues like the tutorial going on a bit too long, some elements being introduced too late in the game so there's not enough time to fully explore plotwise or take advantage of gameplay wise (Like Haru who shows up literally 5 minutes before the plot kicks into overdrive) and Mementos can be a bit tedious, but they weren't problematic enough to bog down the experience. Highly recommend this one, even if you aren't into turn based games or anime like me, although this is a really long game spanning near 100 hours, so you need to have a lot of time for this one. Regardless, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on Persona 6 whenever that happens.

Characters- 6/10 Many characters felt annoying and the ones that are good are not enough to save the others

Story-7.5/10 (The story on Persona games ar the dungeons but in between the dungeons you have 30-40 hours of free time to go out and hang out with S-Links, The story was good not bad but not amazing. I consider S-links Story as they have backgrounds and have a plot in it of themselves, thankful the good characters had amazing s-links. But the bad ones had stupid S-links that made no sense Bringing the score down to a 7.5, 8 if not the S-links.

Music- 6/10 The music was repetitive and got bland after a bit. but i am not including this into the final score since this is very much based on personal tastes.

Game-play- 10/10 You know why

Dungeons- 9/10 (I only disliked one dungeons, and one mixed dungeon

Overall not the best game ever but still worth a pick up

8/10

I can count on my hands the number of games that have managed to steal 100+ hours of my life away, and never did I think one of those games would end up being a JRPG.

Persona 5 does have some of the setbacks that keep me away from most JRPGs, namely the fact that most JRPGs are very overwritten and drawn out, but, Persona 5 makes up with vibrantly written characters bursting with personality, and the fact that I actually finished this 110 (give or take) hour game speaks for itself.

Persona 5 is a fantastic JRPG, I have beaten Persona's 3 and 4 before playing this game. I loved both 3 and 4 for there art styles, soundtrack, characters, stroylines, fun gameplay and overall presentation. This game I started playing afterwards which overall really helped my depression in my life. That's why this game and the series in general means a lot to me and is now one of my favorite RPG series. It's battle system is great and one of the best I have ever used in a turn based RPG. It's fast, fun, and it's CTB. The art design is awesome, the music is awesome, the characters are awesome, the social links/exploring is awesome, the story is really entertaining, the game has so much content and you get a lot for your buck. Simply put it if you have never played a persona game this is the best place to start( also get your hands on 3 and 4 too since there are great games).
