Persona 5 Royal achieves "record sales" in the West
- Thread starter DNAbro
- Start date
Satanael is coolerBest game with the best Persona as well. Oh, Raoul.
it's true, there are no publicly traded companies in Japan - they don't even have their own stock market!
You obviously haven't played Royal if you think it was a "minor upgrade". It added more to P5 than Golden did to P4, and the changes/improvements to the base game are substantial.
Exactly, any estimate I had of it coming out in Japan in 2020 is pretty much shot now with covid.
I think Summer 2021 for Japan, later for the west.
Atlus cares not about money, they care about your sadness and tears.
Well that's terrible news.
I'll be sure not to buy the next persona game and wait for the proper edition three years later then.

I hope this incentivises Sega and Atlus to bring more awareness to the previous Persona games and not just milk Persona 5 to death even more.
Sega's upper management is only going to intervene if their bottom line is negatively affected.

Japanese companies are too busy making bank on waifu gacha games
I skipped this version put played through the original release and loved it. Hoping to see either Persona 3 remastered or Persona 6 within the next few years would be awesome.
I would likely buy a Persona 4 remastered but I think it is going to be hard to top Golden.

Great news, hoping we get some new stuff from them soon.
This has to be the only explanation.
Awesome! Always glad to hear a great game sold good.
I mean given the circumstances would that be a suprise?
Playing through it currently and its fantastic. I played 5 back when it released and loved it and this is like comfort food. I love the characters and very few games get me smiling to chill with em again like this one does.
This soundtrack man. It gets me giddy lol

Pandemic so lots of people have more time for games.
Also P5 wasn't an overnight hit. Sure it did well to start with but what really propelled it to its great long-term sales was the great word of mouth, and the interest has never really waned. You could tell that a lot of people who were thinking about getting P5 in the last year or so were holding off to get Royal when it launched.
Not to pile on too much, but this is quite the take considering the specific company you're talking about. Atlus would charge you for watching their trailers on YouTube if they could.
Ob boy, at this rate SMTV is going to be a cross gen game for switch and switch 2...
Maybe because if they do it, talent will go with them? Also maybe their purchasing agreement included their capability to remain completely independent?
mhmm sure... please do tell more.
Congrats to Atlus. Hoping for a more serious persona next.
Game absolutely deserves the success and sales. I was so hesitant about Royal and the changes/additions it would add, as I already saw Persona 5 as my biggest surprise this gen and absolutely loved it.
Royal was incredible and all the new content and refinements made an exceptional game even more amazing. I just beat new game+ on Royal last night.
Can't wait for Persona 6 in the coming years! :D

How you gonna walk in a thread about a full priced rerelease with additional content game in a world with expansions and dlc for less than half the price and say that line right there lol
From what I've heard, it focuses on different stuff from Persona. My favorite part of Persona is the slice of life stuff. Don't get me wrong, the combat and story is good, but something about just walking around and talking to people is really enjoyable. So I could see some divides between the fanbases of both.
And I dislike them for this. I got into the series with 4G, but it's really outdated. 3 is even more outdated and has two "definitive" versions with different content than the other. Maybe do some rewrites so you can interact with social links for men and women regardless of which you pick. Hell, maybe even bring up the technology to the current day. But damnit do something! I want to know more about the Midnight Hour without having my party blast through their SP in five minutes.
I'm hoping this eases people concerns about Scramble. COVID probably just slowed down localization.
Your post makes it sound like you didn't play Royal.
There is a massive amount of new content added, not just after the vanilla game, but new mechanics, new events, confidants, refinements, QoL enhancements, etc integrated into the base game. The new content after the original game is very large and I'd argue the best segment of the whole game.
I'm kind of surprised that it did that well to be honest. Hopefully we get some news about Scramble now that Royal is out of the way.
While you have a point about the game not being multiplatform (Atlus is weird about that), you're discounting the fact that it's a Japanese game and that they are very much making a TON of merch for Persona 5, including literally dozens of high quality figures (even a few of Kasumi have been announced), wall scrolls, separate sound tracks, a manga, an admittedly mediocre anime, at least seven different collaborations off the top of my head... the list goes on.
good considering its the game of the generation. As my first Persona game it was definitely a masterpiece.
Best game with the best Persona as well. Oh, Raoul.
Woah this looks good.
Pls tell me it's OP with repel everywhere.
Honestly I have the ps2 games you can emulate them in 4k dont really need official remasters but could be nice
P4 doesn't have a best version either, though, with P4G's awful Chie voice change
