Persona 5 Royal

Persona 5 Royal perfected the social-sim RPG formula with a 120-hour campaign where its Confidant system offers 22 fully voiced character arcs, outpacing #3 Chrono Trigger's 13 endings in narrative depth. The 2020 expanded edition sold 3.3 million copies in its first year, featuring a stylish UI and a battle system where the average encounter resolves 20% faster than in typical JRPGs. Its occasional problematic writing is offset by unmatched player-driven relationship progression.
