It’s time to steal hearts, all over again, in Persona 5 Royal, which was just given its western release date. The game, which has already released in Japan, will add extra gameplay and story content, along with new characters. Atlus will be releasing the game both physically and digitally, as well as a collector’s edition. Persona 5 Royal will release for the PlayStation 4 next year, on March 31st.

The Pokemon treatment

It's like Black and White 2 or Ultra Sun and Moon

Scummy way to make some extra bucks

You cannot compare black/white 2 with ultra sun/moon, b/w were completely different games set in the same universe, US/UM were exactly the same games but with 5% extra content.

 

[DJPlace]

It is. They’ve also said you can’t transfer your save over from vanilla P5 and play through Royal on New Game Plus to make it easier to get to the new content, which is kind of what I was hoping for.

Honestly, I’m too excited for this game to be brought down by it. What they’re doing is scummy and I don’t like it, but fuck it, I just want to enjoy this game and go back to this world.

damn. why the hell i'm i replaying persona 5 then. i'll just wait for one of my boss fight vs boss fight video's to make one of these days.

oh, only the og p5 dlc for p5r is free
at least we dont have to pay another hundred just for a few costumes
really you only pay for the kasumi costumes, the new costumes, and the new personas

 

[Rahkeesh]

Ah yes, the game that Atlus teased Switch owners over because they're too damn lazy to make P5 not exclusive.

Sony already commented how they "value Persona exclusivity", I don't think Atlas has the option to do much about it at the moment.

P5 Scramble is Musou combat but in terms of story, its actually a full sequel instead of a nonsensical crossover mashup like most Warriors games. Its not a bad catch at all for P5 fans.

It’s a good comparison, at least US/UM.

Well, we definitely didn't see that coming.

I'll leave.

yetthh

White streak, speeds by.

So you'll keep giving them money, thus encouraging more lazy releases and spin-offs?

Yup!

Well, really, I don’t have a problem with the content in Royal and the Persona spin-offs have been pretty decent, so I don’t have a problem with them either. My problem is with them charging full price for an expansion pack. And normally I’d be all about resisting and fighting against that bullshit, and I 100% agree with people who are, but I’m just so tired of being mad at the video game industry for doing shit like this, I want to be able to enjoy this game. I’ll concede that from a logical standpoint I’m completely in the wrong, but from an emotional standpoint I need to be able to connect with something I love for a little bit and forget about the corporate greed and rampant monetization that normally ruins this industry. Maybe that makes me a fanboy or whatever, but fuck it.

And I'm still gonna buy it.

 

[_DrBecks_]

I can understand you, guys ... Bought P5 four times already: PS3 Physical, PS3 digital with all DLC, PS4 Physical ... and yes: The Deluxe Edition

 

[warweeny]

It’s a good comparison, at least US/UM.

Yes, i agree the comparison with differences between S/M vs US/UM is indeed a good validator in terms of differences people can expect.
The BW2 was totally off the mark, hence i was calling it out.

 

[Beerus]

oh boii as soon as i saw this i copped the collectors edition before it was too late

 

[oji]

Own and finished P5 on PS3 years ago, will consider buying a definitive edition only on Switch due to its portability. What I really can't wait to release is SMTV.

 

[anhminh]

Why not they just wait for PS5 instead?

 

[matpower]

Damn, I want the Phantom Thieves edition but I am just broke af right now. I hope I can get it later.
Either way, they should be selling this cheaper, asking for a full game price on a re-release fucking sucks.

 

[SantaClaus]

Too bad I don't have a PS4. If it came out on the Switch, I'd buy it.

Is there any announced way to just get the Royal stuff as DLC or is it a 'buy everything again to be a girl' kinda deal? Had Persona 5 for a while digigally and not got around to playing it, would be a shame to have to pay again for stuff I already have

I've never had a game digigally before. Is this a new, revolutionary distribution method?

At least it will have more time, money and love in it than Pokémon.

It's a British thing. I'd try to explain it but you wouldn't understand ;O;

 

[SantaClaus]

I thought it was a typo.

 

[_DrBecks_]

Yeah, P5 on Switch would be great. But we will never see it coming

Made me think of Quagmire :giggity:
