Usually these anime adaptations from video games cut many stuff. Besides, Persona 5 is a 80+ hour game. If this is only 2-cours, expect plots to be cut or even rushed. The last couple movies and series have been decent at best. It’s really not a good way to experience the story especially.
You don’t need to know anything from any other Persona game to pick up any mainline Persona game. In other words, you don’t need to be aware of Persona 1-4 to catch up to 5.
In Persona 5 the character calls out when you choose “Persona” (rather than skill) from the menu to summon the Persona so by the time you choose the spell to cast the Persona is already summoned for you, saving about two seconds per attack, which adds up.
The reasons for that is there are these differences between the 2 games. MC in Persona 4 is white-haired. The first person to join the team was the son of a department store owner, followed by a tomboy. Persona 5 MC is black-haired. Persona 5 was set in Tokyo.
Can You Watch The Persona Series Without Playing The Games? The anime adaptation of Persona isn't as good as the games but is still very entertaining. You can watch the anime before playing the games and still enjoy the games if you decide to get into them later on.
Currently you are able to watch "Persona 5: The Animation" streaming on Hulu, Funimation Now, Crunchyroll or for free with ads on Crunchyroll, VRV.
Yes, you can! Although Persona is a franchise, the games do not depend on each other being totally independent. This is because even if all games in the franchise have the same essence, each game has a way of addressing this different essence based on its theme.
The Persona 5 anime is mostly a straight adaptation of the original game. That is to say it does not cover any material from Persona 5 Royal. That may not be the case for long though. In regard to the Persona 4 anime, that was re-released to include storylines from the PS Vita port, Persona 4 Golden.
This game has been rated PEGI 16 for depictions of realistic looking violence towards human-like characters, use of sexual expletives, and encouragement/teaching of gambling. Not suitable for persons under 16 years of age.
Anyways the anime was overall decent. So it's great to watch it whether you've played any Persona game or not. If you have played the game to completion, and if it is the Vita (Golden) version, then yes, you can watch both anime and get a quick review of the storyline.
around 97 hoursPersona 5's main story clocks in around 97 hours, but most players will have engaged in at least some side content by the endgame, as Confidants and Mementos runs are basically necessary to beat the game. With extra content, the number of hours can reach 115 and beyond.
In fact, the game's pretty much been confirmed to be in development. In 2017, Persona Central translated a job listing that mentioned hiring a team for a "Persona 6" game. Later, in a 2019 interview with the same site, Daiki Ito, the Director of "Persona 5," said that the development team has ideas about the next game.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Persona 5 Royal is a significantly better game. The additional content is generally excellent. I loved the two new confidants, as well as Akechi's greater involvement. The gameplay is improved and there is more spare time to take care of a bigger range of activities.
Every Persona game (unless otherwise specified) has been considered canon. It's been like this for quite some time. The Persona 5 anime and the (newer) manga have had direct input from Atlus. As opposed to the older manga, which was only licensed by Atlus.
I would recommend watching a playthrough of the game or just the games cutscenes, and every previous persona has no connection to any subsequent persona. The anime while an interesting watch, is still nothing compared to the 100+ hour saga of persona.
There are a total of eight characters to romance in Persona 5, and it is possible to romance all of them at once.
Ren Amamiya is about to enter his second year after transferring to Shujin Academy in Tokyo. Following a particular incident, his Persona awakens, and together with his friends, they form the “Phantom Thieves of Hearts” to reform hearts of corrupt adults by stealing the source of their distorted desires.

As someone who's played the game, I don't really see a point, it's basically a compressed version of the story. If I hadn't played the game though this would be hella confusing at times, as things are often not properly explained, or fleshed out as well as in the game due to the anime's compressed nature.
A list of shows that include supernatural entities, like: vampires, zombies, monsters, demons, angels, spirits, etc. Superpowers users, magic users and witches are not included. TV or Web series only, no sequels.
Nope. Usually these anime adaptations from video games cut many stuff. Besides, Persona 5 is a 80+ hour game. If this is only 2-cours, expect plots to be cut or even rushed.
Eh, if it's like the other adaptions (P4 main series, P3 movies), it'll be perfectly adequate as an adaption, but not a good replacement for the game.#N#I guess it'll work if you're just interested in the main story, but the interactions with other characters via their side stories will probably be glossed over or rushed through.
Although Persona is a franchise, the games do not depend on each other being totally independent. This is because even if all games in the franchise have the same essence, each game has a way of addressing this different essence based on its theme. Already in the introduction, the game already explains everything you need to know about ...
Having checked the Persona 5 synopsis in Wikipedia and having played Persona 4, the answer to your question would be, "yes, it is safe to play Persona 5 without having played the previous installments of the game". The reasons for that is there are these differences between the 2 games. Protagonist and characters. MC in Persona 4 is white-haired.
