Just finished Persona 5 Royal

[GenericGhost]

So I played about 30 hours of Persona 5 when it first came out and dropped it. Then picked up P5R back in April and over the weekend I finally finished It. Got the Plat and loved every minute of the game, much more than the vanilla P5.

So now I'm on the search for a new JRPG to play (preferably on PS4/5). Any suggestions?
Note: I've already finished DQXI

Yakuza: Like a dragon

Yakuza like a dragon just came out. it is the most recent big JRPG.

you have a switch?
try Xenobalde 1

also if you loved persona 5, and love digimon
play the Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and hacker's memory.

 

[Macija]

I really like Digimon Cyber Sleuth. The story is kind of meh, but the gameplay loop is very addicting.

 

[Volkoff]

Royal with Cheeseeeee.

And I agree, Pick up Yakuza 7.

 

[Jorge]

What made you stick to it the second time around? Any worth key points of Royal that made the difference?

 

[My Blue Heaven]

yeah it's probably yakuza like a dragon though the RPG gameplay is more of a silly send-up or deconstruction of RPGs than anything else. it's still worth your time

 

[Lemony1984]

There's not a lot of great choices on PS4 tbh. You've probably heard of all the ones that are gonna be recommended.

Would recommend this just because it is much shorter after what is a very long game and I like to break it up a bit instead of going from huge 100 hour game to another 100+ hours.

Probably QoL changes and Morgana not pestering you with going to sleep should be one of the main points for OP.

But really though. I got a lot of similar vibes from P5 as I do in Like a Dragon. It's also amazing and easily one of the best of the year.

This deff had something to do with it. Couldn't stand him in the first game.

 

[HiLife]

You abstain from JRPGs and play P5Strikers, while hoping Altus announces something new to the main installments.

I've played Xeno and Cyber Sleuth. How was Hacker's Memory?

 

[Ouroboros]

I've been playing DBZ Kakarot. It's decent jrpg junk food. No where as deep as P5

Would need to finish the main series to get the most enjoyment out of it? I'm about 1/3 of the way through Kiwami 2

 

[Tora]

After I finished Royal in May, I played FF7 Remake and Xenoblade: DE

Up next is Like a Dragon, so i'd recommend the above 2 at least anyway

No, it's mostly a fresh start.

 

[Deleted member 15360]

FF 7 Remake if you want a game with great depth in combat

Nah, there's a few Easter eggs nods and such. You can go in and not be lost.

Hell yeah I think I'm going with this. Love what I've played from the series. Excited to see the new turn based combat

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

A quick thing about FF7 remake, it doesn't have traditional jrpg combat like the original, it's more of a action game.

Spoiler

Also the combat is trash.

 

[Mullet2000]

Echoing Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Put 6 hours into it this weekend and it is fantastic.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

Yakuza new turn-based combat is refreshing, functional, and fun.

 

[GamingCJ]

Trails of Cold Steel.
Yes, you can play it without having played another Trails game.

I played though FF7R back in March. I liked it but wasn't too fond of the combat. I like traditional turn based more than active

 

[NESpowerhouse]

You played Persona 4? If not you can pick up Golden on Steam.

Definitely recommend checking it out at some point.

Not the worst idea either, but if you can play Trails in the Sky first, play that. It is much better than Cold Steel.

I agree, but unfortunately it's not on PS4/5

I've played Xeno and Cyber Sleuth. How was Hacker's Memory?

Click to shrink...

if you played Cyber Sleuth, Hacker's Memory is way better then the first game
in game play it's the same + there is additional modes but the story is way better.
if you played it on PS4, don't forget to import the save file to the next game to get free items.

The time line in Hacker's Memory is the same, but from differnt hero with differnt goal.

I played though Golden on vita a few years back. Loved it!

 

[HMD]

Go with FFXIV, if you're not into the Multiplayer aspect you can pretty much mostly ignore it and play it like a normal FF.

 

[chusetto]

Like a Dragon (Yakuza)

 

[Twonny]

Other than the suggestion of Yakuza: Like A Dragon, Dragon Quest XI S recently came out and it's fantastic.

 

[Noctis]

There's always persona 3 if you haven't played it

I wouldn't recommend FF7R if they have a JRPG itch to scratch following P5R. I tried doing the exact same thing and just ended up missing out on that fulfillment of classic JRPG turn-based content. FF7R played more like a character action to me than anything else.

 

[LiK]

Ever played Persona 4 Golden?

Been enjoying this one immensely. Ironically enough P5R will be next for me, copped the $20 BF deal

I think this is my next, based on all the praise for it here. Hope you like P5R as much as I did.

Yakuza is good but I would suggest playing something else as the PS5 update won't be out until March.

So in Royal if this happens less does that mean they added a lot of new social links/things to do to compensate or is it just that much easier to max everything out this time around?

Here is a list of all the changes.

Persona 5 Royal: Changes - All Differences Compared to Persona 5

Everything new in Persona 5 Royal

Edit: from what I noticed based on my little time with P5 was more time to explore and hang out with confidants at the start and less hand holdy in regards to Morgana forcing you to end days early.

 

[HylianSeven]

Persona 4 Golden is available on Steam and will run on a potato.

Persona 5 Strikers comes out in a little over two months and will be on PS4, Steam, and Switch. It's actually a sequel to Persona 5, although really just an action RPG Persona game.

Unpopular opinion: Play Persona 1 and the Persona 2 duology. They don't have the calendar system or social links/confidants, but are still great games.

Not the biggest fan of the first person but I can get behind 2 duology.

Both. They added new stuff to do and it's also much easier to max everything.

Persona 5 Royal is fun, but it's noticeably easier than the original game, which wasn't super-hard to begin with.
