Why Persona 5 Royal’s Approach to Persona Awakenings Should Become the New Standard

Persona 5 Royal changed the way that Persona awakenings have taken place in the series, and its new direction should become the default going forward. These awakenings are some of the game’s most important moments, from a storyline perspective as well as gameplay. For that reason, the scenes and the characters involved must be afforded the proper respect. Persona 5 Royal is the game that has done the best to date in making sure that Persona awakenings are impactful moments in the game. Persona 6 and games beyond should be looking to it for inspiration for their own awakenings.
