Sega and Atlus announced the nextPersona 5 Royalstream will be held on September 27, at 20:00 JST (Click here for some time conversions). It was also announcedEnako, the most famous cosplayer in Japan, will be appearing on stream, probably cosplaying Kasumi.
Needless to say, we’ll be covering this stream as always, with a summary and a translation of whatever they’ll say. Atlus already revealed a lot on the game though, so I’m not sure what’s left for us to see now, one month before its Japanese release.
To be honest, while I’m excited forPersona 5 Royal,none of what they showed about the game so far was surprising. Atlus, in the end, added the exact same type of content they added back inPersona 4 Golden,but bigger and better, like the new playable part starting January. Now I’m waiting to see if Kasumi and the new part and Palace’s story will be worth it.
If not for the fact that I purposefully only did one playthrough of the original game, where I only maxed all coops and didn’t do all of the other side content from games to movies, I really wouldn’t be interested. There’s also the fact thatPersona 5 Royalis really expensive in Japan, especially digitally (9504 Yen), but that’s the norm for a lot of Sega related games nowadays. As such, I’ll probably be writing a short review of the game after its Japanese release, answering if in my opinion, the new content felt worthwhile of my time or not, so stay tuned then.
