When players do interact with the characters, it feels unearned, as the player has no prior emotional attachment or connection. It would not be an exaggeration to say that newcomers to the story will feel like they're intruding on a group of close-knit friends.

Once Persona 5 reaches its conclusion, players will feel like they've genuinely connected and befriended the characters throughout the course of the story.

This time is not idle either, as players have to spend their time wisely to progress the story and subsequently develop bonds with the supporting cast. On average, one playthrough of Persona 5 might take anywhere from 60 to 100+ hours.

You can join the discussion on Persona 5 Royal coming to PC and Xbox on the OC3D Forums.Prior to the game's release, promotional material for the game reassured newcomers that they could jump right in without having played Persona 5. Like Yakuza 6, the PC version of Persona 5 Royal will likely arrive through Steam, Xbox Game Pass, the Microsoft Store on PC. This move strengthens the value of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service, expands Persona's audience and further degrades Sony's status as the best console platform provider for JRPG fans. SEGA has a history of working with Microsoft to bring their former exclusives to PC and Xbox consoles through Xbox Game Pass, making this Persona 5 leak very plausible. Even with such a solid history of accurate leads, these Persona 5 Royal port rumours should be taken with a grain of salt. Persona 5 is reportedly due to be announced soon for both platforms, according to the leaker previously predicted that Kingdom Hearts would be coming to PC as an Epic Games Exclusive, that NIOH 2 would be coming to PC, and that Ninja Gaiden's remastered Trilogy would release on PC. Now, it looks like Persona 5 Royal is making its way to PC and Xbox, arriving through Xbox Game Pass and as a standalone title on both platforms. A recent example of this is the transition of the Yakuza franchise from being PlayStation exclusive to being a multiplatform franchise that spans PlayStation, PC and Xbox. In recent years, SEGA has been showing an increased interest in multi-platform game development from their Japanese studios, bringing many of their formerly Sony PlayStation exclusives to PC and Xbox.
