Persona 5 Royal is an expanded version of Atlus? critically acclaimed Persona 5, packing lots of new content into what?s reportedly a definitive package. Despite this, during an interview conducted in the most recent issue of Dengeki PlayStation, a member of the Persona 5 Royal development team stated that the revised JRPG should take around the same length of time to complete as the original. This is due to a combination of technical improvements and reworked design decisions that should help to cut out a lot of playtime padding.
The upcoming Persona 5 upgrade adds compatibility for the PlayStation 4 Pro and implements new battle mechanics, which are both potential time savers. It?ll also introduce an all-new Phantom Thief, new Personas, a new Palace, new narrative and social elements, plus an entire additional semester. Those latter additions should theoretically add a number of hours to the game, so the boasted technical optimizations must be significant.
