I played through persona 5 three times total (yeah, that was a lot of hours). Twice for the base game to get the platinum trophy, and a single time going through royal. (I bought the PS5 version of P5 royal on sale at some point, so one of these days I'll make that 4 runs total).

I thought royal was a much better game that base persona 5 (something that I already loved). The various gameplay additions was fun, and I liked messing with the jazz club to make certain party members even more busted. I also liked the new final dungeon and antagonist more than the base game's.

The only thing I'd say was a negative is that because of all those new gameplay additions and making baton pass way stronger the game itself got a good deal easier with a few exceptions. (Not going to lie, I got my shit rocked by the will seed guardian for the musuem palace, and the spacesport palace's boss beat my ass something serious, lol).

They need to come up with a new difficulty above hard, but without certain things merciless gives you (since if you know what you are doing merciless is even easier than the hard difficulty).

When it comes to akechi I thought his fate in the base game was fine. I did appreciate him having a proper social link in royal so you got a bit of a better look into his character, and lets all be honest with ourselves he got a better deal in royal (and they definitely hinted at him getting to live in the new true ending) because of the power of japanese fangirls, lmao.

I like how atlus intentionally made it to where both futaba and haru never warm up to him like that. They will never hang out with him or even play that card game in the den with him. It makes total sense because of what akechi did and was a nice touch.

*Also his navigation lines is hilarious*
