    Great game, plus the main story is 101 hours (!) based on [howlongtobeat.com](https://howlongtobeat.com/game/66630), which comes out to *~15 cents per hour of gameplay*, BEFORE new game plus, and 142 hours for completionist

    **POST EDIT/UPDATE BELOW**

    Unfortunately last night at around 4 AM EST, the sale apparently ended. Before the sale ended, the website said this deal would last until the end of the current Cyber Monday sale on **December 3rd**. I’m not sure if this is a mistake on the website and could be resolved soon, or it really is the fact that the sale really only last a few hours.

    As other users have pointed out, the digital deal still does appear at [Best Buy](https://www.bestbuy.com/site/persona-5-royal-standard-edition-nintendo-switch-oled-model-nintendo-switch-nintendo-switch-lite-digital/6523302.p?skuId=6523302) and [GameStop](https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/products/persona-5-royal—nintendo-switch/357005.html) for only **$14.99**. Another perk from buying from there is that you get more gold coins in the eShop when you redeem.

    Picked it up from GameStops sale. It runs fantastic in handheld mode. One of my all time favorite JRPGs.

  3. AggravatingDay8392

    Is it good for a new player on that genre/saga?

  4. MagicPistol

    One of the best jrpgs I’ve ever played, and I’ve played tons.

  5. FoxLIcyMelenaGamer

    Is the Physical this Cheap? Would snag along with Persona: Strikers.

  6. Elver_Galargas-07

    And i just bought it last week for PC… damn, should have just waited and bought it on Switch

  7. Tyrandeus

    Is it spin off of Persona 5 or same game+DLC?

  8. ShiftyShaymin

    One of the best games I’ve played. I paid $60 on day one and didn’t regret it, $15 is just a steal and a half.

  9. urnotcarloz

    How is the audio quality for this port? I remember people were saying the voices and music sounded very compressed

  10. SirLocke13

    If you’ve ever been even slightly interested you can do a lot worse with $15.

    Get it. It’s a highly rated game for all the right reasons.

    Think of Pokemon with elemental weaknesses and resistances with an emphasis of landing weakneses/critical hits for extra turns.

    Great cast of characters that have an uncomfortable level of common tropes people can resonate with, grow stronger and jam out to an amazing soundtrack.

    The biggest complaint I have with this game is that, after you play it for the first time, you can never experience that again. Frig.

  12. D_Beats

    Already have it on PS4 but uh yeah can’t pass this up lol

  13. Rhonardo

    Is this worth playing on the Switch if I’ve already got it on PS5? My wife played it there and loved it but i never got around to it

  14. CamelDejaVu

    Glad this came back, the GameStop sale wouldn’t let me complete the transaction.

  15. _Donut_block_

    I’m in my late 30’s and to say this game made me feel like a kid picking up his first Final Fantasy would be an understatement. I can’t remember the last time a game reignited the spark and my love for gaming the way this did. It absolutely has its flaws and isn’t for everyone, but it oozes charm and really goes all in on its concept.

  16. jazmlab

    Im torn between this and Metaphor on ps5. Can anyone help me decide? I’m new to atlus games

  17. MrMilesRides

    My broke ass has been waiting on this!!

  18. multiverse-wanderer

    Holy shizz.

    Like everyone else has said, if you have even the vaguest interest in the game, buy it. My first playthrough was 125 hours over the span of 7-8 months. It became an era of my life.

    Persona 5R is one of my favorite games of all time. The themes, the main cast, the music, the vibes, the story, all of it was so profound. I had never played a game like it — the balance of traditional JRPG level grinding + social sim aspects mix together perfectly — you never get bored or tired because there is simply so much to do. You feel so connected to the characters by the end of things, you really feel for their goals and motivations.

    Sure, like any game there are valid criticisms to be made, but you won’t find that from me. It’s one of those games that sinks its teeth into you and leaves you thinking about it constantly. It’s also a great introduction to the Persona series, which has some amazing story-telling throughout all the mainline games.

    I have Tactica and haven’t played it yet. Is this a different game or just a slightly different version? Please excuse the ignorance.

  20. SamourottSpurs

    Bruh wtf. This is an ABSOLUTE STEAL. It’s my favorite game of all time, if you’ve never played it, pick it up because it is beyond phenomenal and even though JRPG’s might not suit everyone, this one appeals to a lot of people who might even claim that they don’t like JRPG’s. Literally PEAK!

  21. Has anybody found this game at that price physically?

  22. poison5200

    Honestly thought this was a pricing mistake when I saw it on Gamestop’s website

    Get it there to get 300 gold points with it! I think you get only 75 when buying from eShop

  23. JumPegasus

    That is a tempting price, but would love to have a physical copy instead.

  24. patmax17

    Is the discount us only?

    BTW, the persona collection is 45€ on the EU shop, which averages 15€ per game. But persona 5 as a standalone is on a 10% discount afaict

  25. dobirdsmeow

    I went to go buy it and it’s now no longer on sale like when I checked earlier. Was it not supposed to actually go on sale? I can’t believe I missed it by a few hours..

  26. King_Of_BlackMarsh

    I went to the eshop, I went to the website: it’s still 60 bucks for me

  27. ComprehensiveTea2390

    I don’t see this on sale in Canada 😭
    I see Persona 5 Tactica/Strikers and Persona 1/2/3/4 on sale though.
    For someone who hasn’t played and has no idea of the series which ONE should I get? lol
    Or maybe I should wait til P5R goes on sale again… it’s unfair they removed it.

  28. PixelatedGamer

    For anyone coming to this thread late the sale ended around 4am EST on the eShop.
    Edit: It does still appear to be available for $15 from Best Buy and Gamestop. Probably better to go through them so you get the max amount of gold coins on the eShop.

  29. I picked this up last week digitally on Gamestop. Had my code in seconds. I likely won’t get to play this until after the new year but this is a great price so do pass it up.

  30. Adventurous-Truth629

    It’s back up to 59.99. Not sure why it keeps fluctuating. I wanted to grab it.

  32. hogendaz00

    It’s not showing for that price anymore

  33. hlgWEBMs

    just asked nintendo eshop CS about this they also cant answer why the price randomly returned to normal

  34. GoldenAgeGamer72

    I purchased this at full price a couple of months ago and it became one of my all-time favorites. At this price it’s not just a steal it’s a “What in the hell are you waiting for?” purchase.

  35. Under_Press

    IT WAS 15 BUCKS LAST NIGHT AND NOW WHEN I CHECK ITS 60 DOLLARS AGAIN???

  36. hlgWEBMs

    *Update*
    They just removed Persona 5 Royal having the cyber deal tag
