Yes, it's called jazz. More people would love the genre if it was more widespread

@@wile123456 actually, it isn't. if anything i would say its more Soul music. that combined with rock and funk beats. you can easily notice that by checking live videos or just play the game. although i always loved Persona soundtracks. it's also great for lo-fi.

I gotta get the P5 Royal soundtrack lol but yes one of the illest osts in gaming period.

You could almost say it... takes over... your game experience. Ha. Ha ha. Ha

Listen to P4 soundtracks if you haven't already

You comment made me want to download it on gamepass now. So many gamepass games are xbox prompts only (I get it, but it's still not acceptable since PC accepts ALL input devices), and as someone who's only grown up with Playstation prompts, my brain ceases to work when I see xbox ones (especially the X). Not only is the button prompt overlooked so often, but so is rebindable gamepad controls. At most games have a few presets, but usually they don't, and no preset fits every user. Accessibility is still a problem and it's almost 2023. Just makes no sense.

@@AceStrife on gamepass u cant change the layout of the buttons,just Xbox pad..

I started it up but haven’t dug in, is there any way to add proper antialiasing as even at 4K it still has noticeable jaggies unlike most games.

@@shockwav3xx Of course, silly me thinking Microsoft wasn't run by a head of lettuce.

btw, the Steam version of Persona 5 Royal takes full advantage of Steam Input's "Glyph Query" feature, which means...instead of the game doing the button prompt detection: Steam Input will change the button prompts *based* on the Controller Type. but you can still manually change the prompts [in-game] anyway.

Shoji Meguro is an incredible composer. If you like P5's soundtrack you should give a listen to the soundtracks of Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 FES.

F Gamepass! Buy it

@@kraenk12 SupPoRt thE deveLopErs. Amirite?

@@Raansu why does everyone think that theyre getting paid every time someone buys the game arent they getting paid a salary like every other job

@@kraenk12 No.

Yup, PS3 was the only optimized port out of them all. Considering hacked PS3 can unlock fps and maintain 60fps in most scenes except city, I assume PS4 could’ve maintained 60fps too if allowed. A worse hardware, the Switch, can maintain 60fps similarly as well.

Only bad thing about the PS3 version was the loading times. I couldn't believe how fast the PS4 footage was when I saw footage

@@mcall9800 they were really similar to the PS4 tbh

The PC port has FXAA and SMAA also.

@@cunnyman The PS3 port only just handles 30fps: See Digital Foundry's comparison of the PS3 and PS4 version. Raising the cap to 60fps with a patch.yml file ruins the frame pacing and softlocks parts of the game. I can confirm the Switch runs P5R perfectly in handheld mode when patched at 720p. I opted against patching the game to 60fps, but I've seen videos suggesting that it works well, hardly budging below 60 at 540p, although both in tandem might be a little too much without overclocking and/or ruining battery life.

To be fair, he skipped PC. Steam Deck is technically PC, but it's more looking at the constraints the game is under when running on that platform specifically rather than PC as a whole.

Also skipped the PS5, they need to rename that test :/

​@@samlepirate4845 He didn't skip PS5, he said it's 2160p resolution with 2160 resolution UI and locked 60fps.

@@nihren2406 his negatives about the steamdeck are completely hardware based so its safe to assume pc is the superior platform. Bad contrast ratio on steamdeck? Your monitor can handle that. FPS drops on steamdeck? Your rig can rectify that.

if u are playing on the switch lite then that's why the screen has a higher pixel density vs switch oled larger screen having a lower ppi count looks blurrier, shame because otherwise oled has the better colors...but yeah even while u can adjust/get used to it, just as one can to 30fps, imagine it playing at a crisp native 720p resolution of the screen and it would look like a sticker like the UI elements

Playing through P4G on the PS Vita just felt right. Since then I have considered Persona a handheld series, so I decided to wait and go with the Switch version. Now if only my copy would arrive from Play-Asia.

@@Estorium waited since 2016?! yeah i couldn't do that no way

@@melxb Still better than the few people I know who aren’t gonna get into Persona into P1/P2 are remastered in some way.

@@melxb ikr? I don't understand how people managed to wait this long unless they were unaware of the series up untill this point.

Yeah the higher resolution 2D side of the graphics go a long long way to fooling us that the overall experience feels like it’s higher resolution. I don’t get the same feeling as say when I tried playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in handheld, I had to play that game docked. But Persona 5 Royal on Switch is awesome both on the tv and handheld, and the OLED Switch makes it feel almost as if I’m still on my TV. I have it on Series X as well and I actually prefer it on Switch. Something about the much sharper image quality and higher resolution textures on Series X actually give the graphics a sort of cell shaded look because they feel too clean and there’s just something more visceral and gritty and darker mood about how the game looks on Switch that I prefer. I’m not such a fan of cell shaded graphics, and to me Persona games in my mind don’t fit with that look. And so the Switch version is more visually pleasing for me overall because it doesn’t have that cell shaded look, it just feels like Persona, it feels more familiar. I know that’s a bizarre opinion but that’s how I feel.

The aliasing is a little nasty but when I’m slamming through the menus I don’t really notice

Particularly when more demanding games such as the Witcher 3, Doom Eternal, Dying Light, Alien Isolation and even SMT V which is much more demanding run on the Switch.

are u playing on the switch lite? if so that's why, but it will look blurrier on the oled since it doesn't have the same ppi/pixel density as the switch lite screen

@@melxb No, the standard model, bought it on day one back in 2017. I can notice the downscaling if I focus on small details or contrast-rich edges. But it is definitely not constantly annoying and blurry like in other downscaled games. Never tried it in dockmode though.

sonic team again, I see. sega should shut them down

@@nathanbraun2067 Why? They made ports that don't drop a single frame on any platform. (besides steam deck)

@@nathanbraun2067 What's wrong? Is it because of Sonic 3D games? Like I get that but closing down a studio will lose a lot of jobs to the programmers, art assets designer and game planners in that team. Making you a fool.

@@xerontokyo good. the talent would be absorbed by better studios

@@IllusiveDev it can't compare to Catherine switch port

I'd say lock it 40fps honestly

Oled can be on pc or deck too.

@@bulletpunch9317 If you have an OLED monitor or TV sure, but that wasn't the point and a none statement overall since it applies to every other platform.

@@ruekurei88 vibrant deck helps. Makes games more saturated. Obviously the switch's oled is better though

@@christianr.5868 Does nothing except breaking color palet accuracy that was defined by the art team.

Yep. Running a 3080 5600x combo and it also happens. It's weird. But never a big deal.

I've never seen the game drop under 115 FPS. I have a 3070, 5900x and 64GB. Do you prefer gaming on your PC or your laptop?

why’s it always PC games that get the short end of the stick when it comes to optimisation

@@Orginal_Sinner PC though I use the laptop when I'm away or when the CPU on my PC is not good enough for some titles (Watch Dogs Legion, for example). I am looking into a CPU upgrade at some point.

That kind of drop must have to do with some setting in the game. I'm running the gamepass version on a gtx 750ti + 3rd gen i7 and I'm not noticing this issue ingame. Running at 100% render 1080p, shadow middle, smaa and no depth of field. But I'm still at Madarame's palace, so not sure for others and new big areas. Although I've noticed a different instance of fps drop, and that is in the "press any button" menu, where from 60fps it gradually drop to 39fps, and slowly gets back to 50ish before the screen fades back to the opening. I think it has to do with generating the background npcs (shades of gray and black). If I go to the next menu (selection menu) it will go back to 60, while New Game page exhibit that drop to a smaller degree (from 52 to 48, and back to 52). It's weird. Btw I always run MSI Afterburner for an fps and cpu/gpu stat counter.

? he never said switch had performance issues after all it runs at 30fps, it's the resolution and textures that are soupy...it's steam deck with the drops below 60 that has performance problems, but seems it's an optimization issue since even if u change settings and res below max it still does it

I've been playing on pc, 120fps on my monitor and 4k on my TV. Game looks and runs phenomenally.

@@TheScrubmuffin69 i heard where it drops on steam deck happens on pc as well, seems like some kind of oversight that will get patched, curious if u noticed it too?

You don’t play the switch version to make it look good lol

@@omensoffate right, it’s a miracle games run on this decade old garbage mobile processor in the first place, buying a switch game and expecting it to not look like a mobile game smeared in Vaseline is pretty dumb.

Something about turn-based RPG's just make so much more sense in a portable setting.

​​@@Warruz27 Anytime an RPG comes out on Switch at the same time as other platforms I almost always opt for Switch personally because they're tailor made for pick up and play sessions. They're just so easily manageable when you don't have to dedicate TV time to them. It's why I loved the PSP, Vita and 3DS especially.

P4G and P3P will be on Switch soon, January 2023 if I remember. 👀

​@@CrimsonFrenchie And I will be triple dipping on P4G and double dipping on P3P. P3P is actually my preferred version of Persona 3 lol

@@icedcapplord710 Tbh P3P is arguably the better version of P3. There are are a few negatives though. Lack of animated cutscenes, the MC is locked to one weapon type and there's no The Answer.

Everyone who pays attention already knows they're greedy with their latest new release having day one DLC for both demons and story content and when talking about Persona 5 Royal specifically having to buy Persona 5 DLC again if you lived in Japan and having to buy Kasumi outfits separately no matter what region you lived in

Sega bro, not Atlus

@@veeetox I am not sure who is the one pulling the strings, but I will take your word. Nonetheless, the point stands, whoever the publisher is, this is not the way to treat the loyal customers.

@@vlaja29 I totally agree, Sega should've done things better

Exactly

PS4 P5R on PS5 runs the same as on PS4 Pro. You need to buy it again if you want to play it at 60 fps on PS5.

I flunked out of this game on PS4 due to all the tutorialization and cutscenes. While I still will find them tedious, I think, with text heavy games either PC or handheld are the way to go for me. And unfortunately I can't play PC games (work from home computer and space limitations). While I used to play Civ VI and other management games all the time on PC, I can't bring myself to play them on a console. I'm learning JRPGs are similar in that they're text heavy with a lot of downtime/menuing. I'm considering picking this up on Switch as I kept finding myself interested, but I will probably never play the whole thing sat in front of my couch on PS5. Glad to hear people are saying the handheld is worth the downgrade.

Denuvo causes those.

Yeah, it has Denuvo on PC so even if you wanted to play it on the deck. The game will make you connect to the internet every 24 hours if you wanna play offline.

Damn. Sounds like this would have been a good time for people like you to start Ng+. Should have offered a $10 upgrade, also transferring save files I think is really complicated to implement in PlayStation

It's little things like that that led me to abandon consoles as a whole. The nickel and diming bullshit for what should be free or reduced cost upgrades.

@@theanimerapper6351 Yeah! I'd be happy with a $10 upgrade fee. From what I've seen, other games that allow you to bring your saved games forward use a game-specific cloud save that don't use Sony's servers (like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, for example)

@@RicochetForce lmao many titles have free upgrades. Stop exaggerating.

Yeah Idk why it's hard for people to admit it, Atlus didn't fully optimized the game on Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series

This is true, and both PS5 and Series X could be pushed above 4k 60fps, but still it's reasonable and not bad on all consoles

@@XiTSlash Sega, not Atlus

yeah, im sure the series s can handle 1440p60fps (it does on call of duty, so why not on a PS3 game?)

@@XiTSlash Did they even work on the ports? That's not really their bag.

Great thinking on this solution :).

You are a genius lmao it worked.

In the meantime it seems they updated it, I get a locked 60fps on it with no dips. At most when there’s a lot of people on screen, but holds up well in most areas and Kamoshida’s palace in its entirety so far.

Thanks man

Wouldn’t upscaling then downscaling result in image blur?

RX 570 user here, the game dont even use 100% of the GPU, even using DXVK doesnt solve everything

If you play on PC or Xbox you could maybe play it on gamepass

Gamepass

@@TibbyII edited, ty

Would have been useful info if we knew what console or system you're talking about

That's not how it works. Just because the screen itself is lower res, doesn't mean you can't notice any changes if anything is rendered above that resolution It's downscaled, but it will still look sharper I used to have a pretty crappy monitor, that wasn't even 720p, but I put my games on 1080p and there would always be a clear difference from the 720p so yeah, it is worth putting P5 on 1080p on the Deck. Users report it looks better and it's worth the performance hit for some (if you don't already struggle to get 60 in crowded areas tho)

There are also lots of redundant comments.

But aside from some definitive resolution info, there wasn't anything all that interesting about these

How does the fps hold up on higher npc trafficked areas around the gun shop and the burger place ect can't remember what that place is called. On deck it'll drop to high 40s

​@@Spencerwalker21 I believe the PC/Steam Deck version is the least well optimized compared to console ports. So it likely is down to poor port performance than the system specs. From a relative playing on Switch he hasn't seen any notice of a dip and has completed the game twice so far. Likely I assume in part due tothe team that ported the Switch and decision to have the game resolution lower than prior Atlus titles. Can't say for 100% certainty, but it seems from little knowledge I know it is locked 30FPS on Switch. Which is better showing than SMT V. Mind SMTV has a slight higher resolution and slightly "better" models of Demons.

​@@Spencerwalker21 Just to mention possible current poor optimization for PC/Steam Deck. If we look at previous releases Soul Hackers 2. That game had terrible optimization regardless of platform. I bring it up due to likelihood that the teams that did optimization/ports for that are most likely had a hand in one of if not most ports of this game. So though the consoles regardless seem to hit the 30 or 60 FPS targets nearly locked. The PC/Steam Deck definitely wasn't as taken care of sadly. Hopefully with enough fan backlash on PC with sales. A solid patch might alleviate whatever is effecting the performance. Though I expect a fan mod patch before any official fix...

I'm playing on my PS5 and 55" OLED TV. That is the way to play. Too much aliasing on switch version. The cellshaded lines and edges are smooth as hell on PS5 and in 4K

Either is great. It's a great game and the ps5 and switch are both great systems in their own way.

After the experiencing the current gen version on ps5 in 4K@60FPS its hard to go back to anything less

Saying 30fps is solid is an oxymoron

You don’t need to go *that* high lol. Downsampling from 900p and locking at 40hz is the perfect way to play IMO.

I'm very happy with the Switch port too!

There’s a mod that can unlock resolution to 720p on portable mode and even in battle scene it still remains 30fps. I don’t get why Atlus set this resolution lock. Btw when decreasing resolution down to 720p when docked, switch can actually maintain 60fps for quite a lot of time…

Imma play this on gamepass on my laptop, but I play metal gear solid 5 900p all high setting on my 55inch 4k tv…and it looks great with fsr helping as well.

It's a good port actually. Rock solid 30fps (which is the most important) and fast loading time. The Xbox One S is only 900p, not that far from the Switch in docked mode. As for the resolution and texture quality, let's be honest, you barely notice them in handheld. DF always zoom in to show the imperfection but it doesn't mean that's something you'll see. I'm glad they went for a stable framerate rather than higher resolution you would not notice much

I set mine to 45 fps at max everything else and that works too. I also use vibrant screen to increase the saturation and this helps bring the color out.

@@lassesuurmunne8340 not just 2d graphics,3d graphics looks better too

@@Ramunas211 I know, but I wasn’t talking about the PS3 version in my original comment anyway. I was talking about Persona 5 Royal which I don’t think was released on PS3, only the original Persona 5 was. So I was never making any kind of argument comparing Switch to PS3, I was talking about Royal and especially the recent releases of Royal. The PS3 version of Persona 5 also suffers from performance issues, the Switch does not. My entire point was about why the Switch version is my favorite, that was the point I was trying to make. That overall I prefer how the Switch version looks. I feel as if even the anime cutscenes animate smoother. My Series X version shows stuttering, but I haven’t noticed that on Switch. They might animate exactly the same on both but the stutter seems at least more noticeable somehow on Series X. I’m still glad I have both versions, and I have the original Persona 5 on PS4 and PS3 but I played that on PS4. Royal is my favorite on Switch. And yes it looks and runs better on Switch. My point about the 2D was that it’s the most noticeable bump up from PS3, it’s 1080p, the 2D. But the 3D looks better as well. And as I was trying to explain, to me, for me, the 3D on Switch looks better than any other version because I just love how it looks specifically on Switch and on Xbox Series X and PS5 the graphics almost look cell shaded because the 3D graphics are “too good” and they reveal this cell shaded look which I’m not the biggest fan of. I was never talking about the PS3 version… maybe someone else is, somewhere but I wasn’t. I thought it was obvious that Switch is more powerful than PS3 to everyone. Peace ✌️

I actually play this at all of 8 watts thanks to something we call graphics settings... I cannot even tell the difference between "middle" and "high" apart from framerate hehe

Valve updated the Steam Decks screen in the OS3.5 beta and I have to say it makes a world of difference, especially for a game like Persona with bold colors.
