![]() ![]() Speaking of Jose, the new Thieves Den is also a fun distraction that you will quickly forget about when you’re building relationships and progressing through dungeons. Here, you’ll be able to collect items spread throughout the floors, not to mention stamps, and trade them in for not only items, but a boost in EXP, Gold and item drop rates through the entirety of Mementos. ![]() In Royal, Jose makes an appearance, a young robot looking kid who also runs the Thieves Den and has a significant hand in Mementos. It wasn’t bad in the original game, as it was randomly-generated floors, but it was simply going through the same enemies you encountered in the dungeons with a lack of style. Mementos has also been updated to be drastically more bearable. It’s a fun aspect that spices things up and adds an even longer string of mostly comical events. For the most part, it’s just an added enemy or mechanic that needs to be overcome, such as choosing between dialogue that might allow you to avoid unnecessary damage. Some of the bosses have also been redone, but not to a major degree. ![]() These are rare but I’ve never been a huge fan of them because it allows you to relax a bit during the strategic battles. They are slightly stronger enemies and will essentially counter any attack you throw at them, but if you kill them they will explode and do massive damage to the enemies around them, not to mention drop a rare item. Disaster Shadows have also been added that also make battles a little easier. It’s a fantastic addition that adds to the quirky nature and relationships between the characters. These will trigger randomly during a fight (and best yet, don’t require both party members to be in your party) and showcase a spectacular attack. At certain points during the story, two teammates will interact and create a special move that will do a massive amounts of damage. For starters, Showtime attacks have been added to compliment Persona 5’s flair. Combat has a number of improvements that not only make the game a little easier, but a lot more fun. You’ll still be grinding through the turn-based combat whilst seducing teachers and doctors, but what Atlus has done is refined it and extended it. You’ll still be going through the year as a transfer student who is thrown into a mysteriously dangerous world filled with monsters and palaces. If you played the original Persona 5, know that this isn’t a drastically different game. Has the remaster revitalized the monumental RPG or has it aged poorly over the years? The same can be said about the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC versions to a certain degree, but there’s no doubt there’s a huge demand for the game on the handheld platform, especially considering the success of Persona 4 Golden and the Shin Megami Tensei releases. More than anything, it’s amazing how long it has taken Atlus to bring the award-winning JRPG to the Nintendo Switch, especially considering the massive popularity of the platform not only in Japan, but worldwide, but late is better than never. While other old school franchises were converting to more fast-paced, action oriented gameplay, Persona 5 stayed true to its roots, captivating audiences with its strategic gameplay, jazzy music and artistic flair. Released six years ago, Persona 5 put the franchise on the map like never before, with its dedication to the turn-based combat and surprisingly mature conflicts. One of the greatest Japanese Role Playing Games to come out in the last decade has finally broke out of its PlayStation 4 exclusivity. ![]()
