Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each Social Link’s max rank feels like a perfect ending for the character.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat evolves into this slick ballet of ambushes, gunplay, baton passes, and grotesquely powerful persona builds.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Royal fixes almost every minor flaw of the base game by introducing Third Semester content, Maruki and Kasumi's top-tier character arcs, dynamic combat mechanics (Baton Pass tweaks, Showtimes), and invaluable quality-of-life upgrades.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A stylish masterpiece that redefines turn-based RPGs with dripping aesthetic elegance, a legendary Shoji Meguro soundtrack, and a cast of characters you will genuinely miss once the credits roll.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is pretty okay, and the anime-style cutscenes were well done, but the screen is constantly full of unnecessary junk.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a sort of comic book art style and every last detail of every text box, cutscene, character design and even the freaking pause menu is utterly flawless.
