Playing this right now. Put 70 hours in and saved and the wrong point and starting over. So far better the second time going through.

The Nintendo switch version had to be downgraded to fit the available resources. Theres some resolution and framerate issues according to reviews.

1 and 2 play very different so its hit or miss, but 3-5 are all fantastic. Easy 100 hours of fun from each of them.

Then there is SMT, the mainline games. I believe Nocturne and SMT 5 are the only ones available on Switch, and both are fantastic as well. Much darker and grittier, the main difference between SMT and Persona is the social elements. You are on your own for the most part in the mainline games, and they are a bit more difficult.

Atlas has been the most consistant jrpg company since the ps2 days. Give P5 Royal a shot if interested, it really is a great game. I dont know how well it plays on the Switch though, thats the only caveat imo. I know SMT 5 ran pretty poorly compared to the ps5 counterpart, so go with whatever hardware is stronger if you have the choice.

Here's a more critical take: Persona 5 has a lot of issues. It is a very, very long game which could have benefited from being cut back a bit. The environments are lacking in graphical fidelity, narrow and claustrophobic at times. There are times the camera just locks you in place. Some of the shops are nothing more than a menu system, you don't actually go inside. Why?
This is a glorified social-sim game with JRPG elements sprinkled in. The turn based system gets old quick and there isn't much depth there. You find a weakness and you baton pass basically the entire game. Animations are lacking tremendously. The naming scheme they use for spells is absolutely terrible. They steal ideas from Pokémon, and leave out the best parts. You don't get to explore the world at your leisure.
Which brings me to my biggest issue with this game: it is extremely restrictive, with guardrails put in place at almost every turn. You wanna go out a night because you gotta level up that confidant? Too bad. You wanna leave a palace because you ran out of SP and can't even heal yourself? Lose a day. The game decides how it wants you to play it, whether you like it or not. There is little player freedom. The design choices are baffling to me, why go so far to suck the fun out of the game? Okamura anyone???
Be prepared to waste many hours redoing certain things because you missed something. I came into this game wanting to enjoy it as it was recommended to me by several friends but I had to be honest about it too. Imo, Persona 5 is very overrated and a waste of time. It is the epitome of style over substance. Proceed with caution ⚠️

I dont necessarily agree with it, but I respect it. Its your honest take and I can most def understand why you feel the way you do about each critique. Did you by chance play 3 or 4? I started with 3 way back in the day on the ps2, the game was absolutely amazing for its time. 4 and 5 mostly follow the same formula, which plays a huge part in why I continued to love the games.

Fair criticism though.

The whole "restriction" thing is by design... You are forced to make choices, weigh the pros and cons of your decisions, just like in real life. You can't just do absolutely everything at any time. That said I'd agree that Persona 5 has issues. It is indeed way too long. Way too much filler conversation that adds nothing except prolong the game. I loved Persona 3 and Persona 4 when they came out on the PS2 because I never played anything like them and was super excited for P5 but was left kind of with a "bleh" feeling. TBH I think playing the mainline SMT games have made me realize how simple and vanilla the persona games are at their core and maybe they're just not for me anymore

I try my best to keep it honest and most importantly fair. When you see how P5 got massive critical acclaim, I have to call it where it falls short, and it had many areas where it did. I want to voice my opinion to keep people who aren't die-hard fans to reconsider playing this time sink. If you do not do things in a very particular way, you will get punished by this game. It's extremely irritating. I did not play 3 or 4 but I heard 4 in particular was great! Persona 3 I heard mixed things. I would love to play them but unfortunately, P5 really left a sour taste in my mouth.

The gaming community as a whole would be much better if more people responded to differing opinions like you did, so again, respect. For whatever reason when it comes to games, opposing opinions usually turn into name calling and its just pathetic and makes the rest of us look bad. All your points were valid, and you either enjoy some of those mechanics or you just flat out dont. The 4 hour tutorials of any of the Persona games would be by biggest nitpick, it can turn a person off really quick if the player just wants action.

4 is great, it is most def the best in the series imo and among the best rpg's ever made, its the only game that has ever made me cry. Its now obvious the relationship building and micro management of time isnt exactly your thing, so you may not enjoy P4 as much as me, if at all. The games are indeed very much time sinks, it all comes down to if you can enjoy the lengthy expositions and managing the day to day tasks you can pick from.

The pros and cons of my decisions? I don't get a decision when my SP does not replenish even on leveling up or reaching a save point. I don't have a choice when Morgana says I cannot go out for no reason at all. I don't have a choice when trying to fuse a Persona because I don't meet the level requirements even though I have both Persona. What about doing just one thing a day and it ends my day? Like seriously, why not give me more than 1 action? There are also store items which I can only buy 1 of, and then they're out of stock. Or vending machine items being out of stock just because it's hot outside?! Just plain annoying. These are just a few things, the game literally neuters you at every step. When is it enough? I think we all play games to escape reality in some way, so making this inconvenient in order to be "like real life" is terrible. It makes the game unnecessarily tedious. I'm not asking to do everything but don't make things so inconvenient for the player just because you have crappy design systems.

Thank you bro, I appreciate the kind words and I absolutely agree with you. I don't take things personal, and if you like a game, who am I to tell you otherwise? Some of us are real adults who understand the world is much bigger than the games we play. Albeit, gamers are passionate people and I can respect that lol. Yeah, I've come to terms that Persona just isn't for me. I'm actually playing through 5 Royal right now and I'm at the end of the 6th palace with 130 hours already so people can't tell me nothing lol. I feel like in order for me to have a more valid opinion, I have to play through the game and leave no stone unturned. I welcome people to disagree with me and present their points. And I will respond in kind 😁 based on your response, I'm willing to reconsider playing P4! Respect is earned, not given so kudos to you!

Paid $30? for it on steam and no regrets. The story/writing, and music are good. I can completely understand the criticism mentioned earlier about restrictiveness, but I believe it's part of Japanese game design/culture that might be clashing with the western ideas of complete open/sandbox rpg. I read there is new game+ available so i'm not too hung up on finishing the playthrough well my first time. I find myself looking up answers to dialogue and school questions though.
