Reviewer Comments
Yoshida
The game is worthy of special mention. From character actions, event scenes, camera angles and other things such as the design of the UI text, Persona 5 is a stylish work that sets it apart from other Japanese RPGs. (10 points)
Ashida
The feeling of striking an enemy’s weakness and pulling off an All-Out Attack is great, and combat is as equally thrilling as the Phantom Thief motif story. (10 points)
Namko
The game has a lot of variety in terms of combat because of negotiations, Baton Touch, and other elements. There are some flaws, but the pros outweigh the cons. (10 points)
Bunbun Maru
The game is a sophisticated drama with stylish menus and more that fits the series’ appeal. However, guns and battle equipment are expensive, and it doesn’t feel like there’s merit to that. Overall, it’s a big step up from the previous entry. (9 points)
