Still kinda kills me that the main premise of Scramble is what if Alexa was evil?

Is Royal worth picking up for someone who already beat the vanilla version? Is the new content wort it? Can only really afford one game right now and am deciding between this and Doom Eternal.

Possibly

The Palaces and bosses have been changed a bit, there's some new stuff to do, you extra months in the form of January and February. I think there's been a definite effort to address some of the criticisms aimed at the original in terms of gameplay.

If you thought Golden was worth getting for someone who's played 4, the same is true for Royal.

I'd get Doom just because it's a new game.

[up][up][up] Its basically the equivalent of P 4 G and P 3 FES, and the new content is considered to be done even in better compared to the new content for those 2 games, so yeah, I'd give it a shot. I'm waiting till my birthday later in May though, especially with all the virus stuff going around.

[up] And Persona 5 Royal is a new game. The dungeons are almost entirely different now for the most part.

I might just pick up Royal and wait till the DLC comes out to get Doom. I need a nice JRPG to tide me over before Final Fantasy VII Remake anyways

Got the game, and I gotta say, the decision to have Joker just straight up shoot Kamoshida in front of the school auditorium was a bold one.

That’s what you get for crossing a misunderstood loner that society treats like trash.

I also liked the cutscene where Akechi and Makoto just glare at each other while eating sushi on Sae’s yen.

They also gave Yusuke a love interest to show he’s not gay.

Oh dang, I lost track of this and didn't realize that Royal was coming out already.

I'll probably pick it up eventually, but I haven't even gone back and done a replay of the original to see all the Social Links Confidants that I missed my first time through, so I'm in no particular hurry.

Has there been any news on a North American release of Scramble?

Small trivia: The Kyoto Jail theme from Scramble is actually a remix of Life Will Change, since the King there is a Phantom Thief wannabe.

Actually honestly reminds me of the Inaba Pride Exhibit in Q.

Persona 5 Royal is like a pinata of new mechanics and content, but I'd only recommend a buy right now if you have money to spend and didn't play the original at all. Otherwise wait for a sale.

Funnily enough, the store I bought it from had the original special edition for $200 still.

Wait how much does that thing cost?

I don’t think I spent more than a 100 dollars on my thing. I think it was most likely 90.

That's because its rare as fuck now.

The New Special edition for Royal was $109 for instance.

i spent a hundred getting the dlcs with it, mostly because I got the original for 20 bucks when it was on sale and I like the game enough to pay that much.

Game's good. It p5. Still my favorite game. The new stuff so far isn't doing too much for me, aside from take over being so much better than last surprise. the thief den is a nice touch though.

Welp, I bit the bullet and purchased the game along with the Persona bundle. Good thing that I've never cared that much for alternate costumes (helps that the Phantom Thief costumes are already cool) because hoo boy are they not cheap.

The extra costumes also come with new accessories and battle/victory tune music, which is nice if you grew tired of Last Surprise all the time and/or just want to vary it up.

In fact, the extra music is why all the costumes are expensive. Licenses and all that.
