I played The Persona 5 and it became my favorite game so when I heard about Royal I needed to buy it. So I heard there is a more to the game which I have yet to reach BUT with all of the quality of life changes alone it’s worth the price. Being able to actually do something before I go to sleep insta kill giving XP and money faster social skills level up faster
Now meet of it Mementos and the 3 new Characters. Jose allows you to alter mementos to get more xp/money/items and it’s amazing, Kasumi is a great character so is the therapist. Baton pass has been changed to a passive thing and the strength of the baton pass can be upgrade. Some the confident skills can be reworked and they actually are much better now.
Is it worth it? Yes. The original game shortly after the second semester. I heard they added a third so it should provide another palace avoiding spoilers
