#Yoshida persona 5 royal series

There isn't much going on in my life these days. Moving to the big city feels intimidating. I enjoyed spending time in that world, with those characters, and knowing it would eventually end, like all things do, I tried to not think about that, and just focus on the story. I'd spend my afternoons working my way through Persona 5, and once that routine really sunk in, it felt like it became a part of my life. Over the last month or so, it became another part of my daily routine. Of course when I actually played it, it was just another video game, and one that I quickly fell into a rhythm with. So actually playing one, especially when the reception to the original Persona 5 was.mixed to say the least, it was a bit intimidating. Never having played one of these games, by this point I had a decade of nostalgia for that game to an extent, but really to those videos. More than once, honestly, and most recently I rewatched the whole thing last year (one of the reasons I felt inclined to play Royal). I'd never played one of these, but like a lot of long time Giant Bomb viewers, I'd seen the Persona 4 Endurance Run. So please bear with me.īefore I started playing P5R, more than anything else I was feeling trepidation. My blogs here are always messy, and sorting through both all the feelings it gave me, and me wanting to say some things about the game's systems/etc this one's squarely on the messier side. Sadness, that even after all this time, the game ended.

And maybe it feels a little weird to open this with the time spent, but in so many ways this series is all about time, how we spend it, and amongst the myriad of jumbled feelings this game has running through me, there's kind of one that has been at the forefront since the credits rolled. I suspect it might not count some of the time spent in menus, but I'm not entirely sure. 151 hours of in game time, at least according to the game itself. I just spent the last month and a week or so of my life playing this game.
