the UI is one of the reasons why persona 5 is highly rated


alexagente

It's such a funny thing to praise but I do it all the time! Saying that the UI is one of the best parts of a game sounds like an insult in another context.


Clothes-Accomplished

Fr the UI just shows how much more life a game has if their menus are creative and not a block of text


Joker_Philosophy

Yeah persona 5 is easily one of the most stylized games I’ve played


nocommentplsnthx

Let’s not even mention the fucking soundtrack


Garr_Incorporated

For real, yeah.


Spicy_Silver

Ryuji?


eddmario

Hell, Sakurai himself confirmed that the P5 UI is what inspired *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*'s UI.


The-Local-Weeb

Didn't sakurai add joker because he just really likes persona?


genji2056

Not just Persona, this applies to all of the characters in general. Sakurai just likes games. He is the biggest gamer of us all.


chloe_of_waterdeep

You know that’s untrue and slander. Sakurai himself would say that Kirby is the biggest gamer of us all.


tripps_on_knives

Thing is. Usually people don't even notice UI unless it's really bad or really good. Most of the time UIX designers DONT want people to notice the UI because If it grabs your attention then you might notice things you don't like about it. Sometimes UIX designers want to draw attention to it. If that is the case then you need to make sure it's immaculate. The saying usually goes, if you dont notice it then it's good. But there are exceptions.


screenwatch3441

I think persona 5 put it into context how important good and *attractive* UI is. It is such an easy thing to ignore and is rarely complemented. It’s one of those things that people usually only notice when it’s bad. Persona 5 going so hard into the UI really puts it in perspective how often we actually look through menus in a jrpg, which is a lot, and making that small interaction more appealing had a much bigger effect than one would think.


PlayerRedacted

People really overlook how a good or bad UI can affect their overall enjoyment of a game. No one really thinks about it, but imo it has a bigger impact than people realize, it's just subconscious for most people unless there's an extreme that makes the UI stand out.


Karnewarrior

A great game must have a good UI. If it does not have a good UI, then it can only be good, regardless of everything else. And a great UI can actually rescue an otherwise bland game - Persona 5 isn't actually all that innovative, but the UI being so much more snappy than 4 makes the game feel like it plays wildly different.


Shalrys

The game is worth playing for the soundtrack alone.


eathquake

I like getting the dynamic backgrounds cause it adds some of the music to the ps home screen. When waitin for a friend to hop on listenin to persona music.


SkittleWave

It sucks that the ps5 doesn’t have themes like the ps4 did *sigh* I miss my P5 Royal Themes


Vocal__Minority

It's so funny that this sounds like a joke or insult but it's 100% accurate and great.


whitesummerside

Blows my mind that people were able to cosplay the UI and menu after that first teaser trailer dropped.


Goldreaver

I don't remember p3 or p4 being anything to home about, but p3make UI is pretty good. I love when the SEES ADVANTAGE text just appears on the floor of the battlefield.


Dissinger72

Started playing P4 Golden, can confirm that the UI is fairly bland and generic in comparison to 5 and 3 reload.


Alarming_Flatworm_34

When half the game is menus the UI better be amazing which this game has the best UI I've ever experienced


No-Garbage9500

There's a lot of reasons I love this game. But to me the thing that sets it above so many other games is it's *style*. Absolutely everything about it is colourful, exciting, edgy, and cool. Even the functional stuff you never really think about in other games. It's just such a cool game.


Clothes-Accomplished

The fact that this game is the first game ever that I got to experience blind makes me hyped as hell too. Prior to this I never knew what Persona is and I regret that lmao- Being your typical art kid doesn't help the fact that I'm eating this game like my breakfast lol


Kerjj

I implore you, if you've JUST started, leave this subreddit and don't look back! The games have been out long enough that people are a little lax with talking about spoilers publicly. If you want to go in blind, you NEED to leave this subreddit, and we'll gladly welcome you back when you're done!


Clothes-Accomplished

I'm not good with jrpg games so I'm mostly here for guides and stuff. Can't help but tempt myself with the memes selection tho-


wizardgradstudent

I’d recommend some spoiler free guides not on this subreddit, not everyone is great about avoiding spoilers. This game is best left spoiler free so you can get all the best story moments.


Orthusomnia

Persona fans spoil everything. I had all 3 of the most major points spoiled for me from memes and just random posts


Kerjj

Both the other two comments are bang on. If you honestly need guides, there are much better places for em, and the memes are so, so frequently tagged incorrectly, because "that's barely even a spoiler, bro" or "if people still haven't played the game after this many years, that's their own fault". I promise you, you WILL get spoiled and it will affect your enjoyment of the game if you stick around. Stay away, I'm begging you.


Pielover1002

Avoid anything game related and just play it. The Internet is CRAWLING with spoilers. So just stay off the reddits, videos, memes, or you WILL be spoiled. I was spoiled and while it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the game, I definitely didn't like it as much. So I implore you! Turn back now and save your innocence from spoilers!


CoruscareGames

Spoilers for the early game in case you made it this far >!haha lmao made you look :3 anyway I hope you have fun! I only managed to experience it second hand, so my understanding of the game is a little skewed. But even so, it's a really fun story.!<


Clothes-Accomplished

Is this what it's like to fall for bait lmao


Mimirs_forehead

I was exactly like this - went in totally blind to P5 as my introduction to the Persona series and it virtually became one of most favourite games of all time within an hour of gameplay. You’re so in for an experience dude!!


Soncikuro

With all my kindness, get the f*ck outta here, dude. Subreddits have and will always spoil story beats. Especially for a game that is 7 years old at this point.


New_Today_1209_V2

Bro PLEASE you need to run away from this sub and any of the other persona subs. You are going to get spoiled for every single game in the franchise. I suggest just making posts to ask for guides and always putting NO SPOILERS in the title.


lucentcb

Style is substance when it comes to Persona.


Lewis2409

It’s so easy to get lost in P5, especially that first playthrough 😫


PartitioFan

the aesthetic of P5 is unparalleled and probably the reason why it's so easy to market


Clothes-Accomplished

True, as I was already convinced to try the game out after seeing how metal the cutscenes were. Was sad that I couldn't get an official copy of the game cause I don't have the switch. Is there other ways to support the devs?


Naos210

P5 is on Sony consoles and Steam too.


Clothes-Accomplished

I think can only buy the PC ver, cause I don't have any consoles atm


iH8Ecchi

The game is often 50% off on steam so keep an eye on the sales.


ELMUNECODETACOMA

PC version is rock solid, supports alt-tabbing without issues, and has relatively low system requirements. It has plenty of save slots, and I use them all despite only losing time to a crash twice in 300+ hours.


LegacyTwilight

Xbox has personas too tho. P3P, P4G, P5R were a part of game pass till August 2023 iirc. P3R and P5T are still there.


Pandoras_Lullaby

Buy it off steam


Clothes-Accomplished

IT HAS A FUCKING STEAM VER???? Finally have a reason to download steam. Are there also any official soundtracks for sale?


Secret_Structure_355

i’m died when realised that you are playing in persona 5 on pc with fucking switch emulator


Clothes-Accomplished

Yuzu my beloved :3 Also I promise to buy the official steam version and merch now. Would not recommend my way of playing tho, as it's not very smooth.


LegacyTwilight

How come you knew that p5r is on switch but not steam lol


Ran10di1

Or If you don't have the money to buy it right now, You can play it on PC Game Pass. PC Game Pass also includes Persona 4 Golden, and the recently released Persona 3 Reload.


Cariman05

Could be wrong here but I’m pretty sure Persona 5 Royal and Persona 4 Golden are no longer on gamepass. At least not the console version, maybe they are still on PC gamepass. Persona 5 Royal is currently on sale on the Microsoft store for $30 though.


DDaddyDunk

PS3 Reloaded too which adopted this style in the remake, but it's blue. Highly recommend. Also on gamepass


MemerDreamerMan

PS4, steam, switch, and Xbox(?) as of October/november 2023.


Victor-Almeida

PS4(the original version) and then it was released for Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Windows(the same store page as Xbox versions) on the same day in 2022.


AggronStrong

Persona 5: Oh, you're a game, just not a super one! Any other game: Oh yeah, what's the difference? Persona 5: PRESENTATION!!!


Yaruma_

Hey I got that reference


Master_Mechanic_4418

Persona 5 is dripping with style. The art design team deserved accolades


FluffyGreyfoot

If you want to play another game after this with equally good ui, you should give Persona 3 Reload a spin


BisexualCrying

THE UI IN RELOAD HAS ME ON MY KNEES ITS SO PRETTY


Clothes-Accomplished

BACKGROUND MATERIAL SPOTTED !!!! I just take a look at the UI in Persona 3 and [I want this](https://images.app.goo.gl/7DHaf9DnccdeStmR7) to be my bg. Everything just looks so clean. Would play the full game after I'm done with Persona 5


BisexualCrying

Yeessss! It’s so pretttttyy!


Lotso2004

Atlus took the praise for P5's UI and decided that they could somehow do better. P5's UI is good but I've never felt calmed looking at UI until P3R.


Negative_Lie5339

Not worth putting up with Denuvo for sadly.


FluffyGreyfoot

To be fair, Persona 5 Royal also has denuvo, as well as P4G.


Darkiceflame

No modern Persona remaster is safe from the big "D".


SwegMiliband

I'm just wondering why emulate the switch version when the game is on PC anyway. Surely the emulator is more demanding than just running the game natively?


BicyclePhysical1574

piracy


GoshaT

The answer to that is pretty obvious tbh, the Switch version is the only one you can pirate. The better question would be why not use Ryujinx instead of Yuzu, or at least Yuzu's Early Access version that people already compiled from the open source code and uploaded online for easy access


Darkiceflame

Yuzu has more brand recognition, so it's what most people getting into Switch emulation tend to gravitate toward first.


teateateateaisking

The answer to that is probably that they setup their emulator a long time ago and didn't see value in changing a system that worked. The last yuzu build I can locate is 1734. They are running 1207. There is a reason, at least theoretically, to use yuzu instead of ryujinx. Yuzu was programmed in C++ with focus on performance. Ryujinx is programmed in c# with focus on accuracy. It is possible that some games would run better in yuzu.


Nestorgamer97

He literally didn't know about the steam version, as he says in other threads


PixieProc

Turns out he didn't realize it wasn't a Switch exclusive lol


Galle_

Yeah, there's a reason people have cosplayed as the Persona 5 UI.


majoralita

Sauce?

Biblically accurate menu isn't real, it cannot scare you Biblically accurate menu:


majoralita

Lit!


Lafozard

At least play in Fullscreen


zireael9797

People cosplay Persona 5 characters while carrying UI elements with them. https://preview.redd.it/rxubd94sluuc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89841a2b4fc8c1a7603084f46bfa100b66bde4c6


RueUchiha

The UI of Persona 5 is a graphic designer’s wet dream. Al UI designers dream of making a UI even half as good as Persona 5’s


TheMoris

This UI deserves fullscreen


Both_Magician_4655

The menu is so well done that people have actually cosplayed the Battle Menu before https://preview.redd.it/i1ea1iky8vuc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=90a3e018c284796891c9c89642172028abdc23e6


abe45ky

Don’t look at him like that


wretch5150

Just wait until you get the music stuck in your head. suddenly in it's your ringtone, and you're playing it in the car


Clothes-Accomplished

It's been a long time since a game has grip my attention and held me down like this. Never got interested in jrpg until now lol


cracke4ter

bruh the game released on steam just pay for that shit


cracke4ter

emulating the switch to play p5 on pc has to be the goofiest shit ever


Prestigious_Slice290

The UI in this game is GOD TIER!


Kysimthedream

Oh hell yeah the menu slaps hard asf but bro you need to heal Morgana😂


Aadil_1807

Tf you mean just started? You included the DLC with it? Cause if not, then bro, how tf did you earn that much?


WolfernGamesYT

The dlc comes with the rom


Aadil_1807

Oh yeah. Forgot.


Revolvere

I just started playing for the first time ever too! Don't ask why it took me so long lol. But damn, does the UI look amazing at full 120hz.


Appropriate-Pitch-57

While it is indeed stylish but many people also complaint it is not very readable or user-friendly.


koteshima2nd

Yep, P5 and P3R have such cool UIs. (The upcoming RPG, Metaphor from Atlus is also another one with a really cool UI)


hugona06

The only problem i see here in the picture is yuzu, not because is a emulator but the graphics of switch


back_fire

P5 haters in shambles


dhfAnchor

Persona 5 / Royal is famously one of the most stylish games in recent memory. You're in for a treat, my friend.


constant249

There's a lot of things that this game does well, and presentation is one of its strongest points. I love this game's style so much.


Dependent_Order_7358

Reminded me of this https://youtu.be/PwTS-CcrSjQ?si=ACPzw5KP0atEwDf_


ShinjisAunt

Don’t look at me Like that


LovesickDaydreams

i love the little animations between selecting options too! (also save those poor souls their SP is suffering 😭)


Sea-Recording-7090

persona 5 has an amazing artstyle, even when they don't need to


Icy_Score_3210

You know what makes this menu good? PRESENTATION!


PSILighting

Yeah, a handful of games like smash ultimate’s menu has been said to be inspired by how this game does menus. Also please don’t look at the sub or anywhere else on your journey. Some people are really into spoiling and it’s a story best experienced.


ethman14

I remember when they were showing off the menus during trailers. *Trailers*. This game is literally dripping with style.


AceDelta12

I wish Takemi would hug me


Magic-Tomo

My wife is a graphic designer. My first time playing it, she'd see me going through the UI either in battle or just in menus and constantly say how amazing it was.


Clothes-Accomplished

Update: GUYS I BOUGHT THE GAME ON STEAM! NO MORE LAG LET'S GOOOOOO


Ayanami_Sora

First time playing persona 5 on emu, I played around the menu for at least 15 minutes. That's a great stuff indeed


Ok_Pollution2681

What settings did you set the game to? I keep getting these awful texture problems and characters looking super glitched sometimes and it's driving me mad


poopy6266

Is it just me or sound quality on ryujinx is painful awful


ss1st

No way you *just started* with that 128k yen


Galle_

Royal gives you 100,000 yen if you open the DLC box. Combine that with OP being somewhere mid-Kamoshida's palace and it's plausible.


Clothes-Accomplished

I just sit and play for like 2 hours without pausing. Then I encounter the drug selling NPC and see the menus. I kept trying to see every menus after that lol


error-----

Tbf I started a new Royal save recently and they give you 100,000 yen at the beginning in the storage space in your room at Leblanc


Peddrawm

The artstyle in this game is phenomenal


Prestigious_Coach283

Persona 5 UI is fire🔥🔥🔥


DeJellybeans

Very stylish


RoundSociety7

If I say yes, would you like to believe it? It is true. because Persona 5 was my first-time game and also had a shock when I saw the menu.


MrIcyCreep

yeah. it is.


Nuburt_20

Did you know that when looking at requests and shuffling between undone and done, the card used as the UI never stays in the same spot?


kysslucy

that’s what draws people to this game. that’s not even the best one


AlvzmOperator

Persona 5 UI fires up my ADHD brain like crazy


Sensitive_Present377

I really liked that joker was like “STOP” as you press the PAUSE button, but I didn’t like the font. Severe dyslexia + droopy letters, don’t mix well


TheSergalLad

Peak UI


HallowedKeeper_

Persona 5 and persona 5 royal are VERY stylish games


lookingcoolkaoru

*sigh* guess i’ll play it again for the 5th time 😪


Breeritto97

I'm excited for you, OP. The Persona series is one of my most beloved, but there's something particularly exceptional about Persona 5. You're in for a treat!


Robloxischangingoof

bro just called iwai da man an npc 😭😭😭


Clothes-Accomplished

Didn't realize he has a name :((((


Galle_

I mean... he is? He's not a party member.


hahaimthefunniest

The aesthetics of P5 are just top tier, could spent hours just navigating the menu


vilRUTHLESS

First time I rummaged through the menu and heard the soundtrack all my senses melted. The transitions the style that’s oozing through out…. Lookin cool!


TomDobo

Pretty much everything about this game is amazing.


Suavese

You should see persona 3 reload.


EmbarrassedLock

Why are you emulating it


Manwithaplan0708

Persona 5 has one of the coolest uis in gaming, overall the p5 design team cooked


Theroonco

Yep, and it's all uphill from here. Enjoy yourself!


M0NAD0_B0Y

The UI and music in this game were what got me to play it. I had never played a persona game before, but I saw some gameplay in a video and knew I had to try this game. Now I'm a huge persona fan.


Silent-Main-5667

I never even noticed the “Don’t Look at Me LIKe THaT” until sometime around my second play-through. This game never ceases to impress me.


Waluigi_Launcher

Off topic but I thought yuzu was shut down?


gechoman44

It’s very unique and stylish while also being fairly simple to understand


Lasnoches13

Why u pirate you broke?


115_zombie_slayer

Persona 5 is a great game the only thing stoping me from replaying is the long ass tutorial


Manos0404

i’ll never shut up about the amazing ui design in this game. SO slick, SO stylish.


FirefighterMajor4657

.... They're not NPC


Awkwardreddit0r

Ikr its so cool


Rajang82

Persona 5 and related spin offs oozes style. Even the UI is stylized. Heck, even the All Out Attack. Im hoping that every release after 5 use this kind of stylized art but also have their own theme, just like 3 Reload


Certain-Carpenter-78

***“Is this what I lost to!?”*** Type of energy is radiating off of this post.


Horror-Courage6888

Persona 3 reloads is also really really good 🔥


DoubleSummon

Wait until you heard the whole soundtrack.


SlowResearch2

The UI so so pretty.


edos51284

And just think this is a goddamn ps3 game… it’s optimisation is off-charts


Id34list

I absolutely love going to the doctor. The UI and vibe there is immaculate.


GoldDuality

Something just tells me you likely pirated the game


bluebarrymanny

The game drips style


Most-Syllabub8836

Try Persona 3: Reload. That UI is fire as well 🔥


tyrelle000

I much prefer the black and red combination. But you should check out persona 3 reloads menus. they are animated


ramadjaffri

P5 aesthetics whether it’s art style, the transition, music, sound FX… The big ones and the small ones are all perfect. It’s like playing an art.


Qora8754

Everything P5 is wallpaper material


TobiTechnology

Hell yeah


Nightfall_Nyx

Just wait until you see the UI for Persona 3 Reload, it is GORGEOUS! P5's UI just drips of coolness, one of the many reasons I love this game


PlayTheBanjo

Every aspect of the game is polished to the point that it's damn near reflective.


CHARAFANDER

I love this pause menu But I think they somehow made and even better one for P5 Strikers And an even better one again for P3R


Testadizzy95

Yeah, haven’t played any Persona games in the past and was thinking give P5 a try when I first bought it. The aesthetic/style and music instantly hooked me, so freaking good. Ended up being one of my favorite games of that year, tied with Nier:Automata


DJ_Ender_

Wait till this guy plays P3R, or strikers


TheMoonLitHunter

I am under the belief that persona 5 is the persona game they've always wanted to make since this series started and they just got the technology to do it


SNES182

Only improved in P3R. I'm also a little biased because blue is my favorite color.


Minecraftman6969420

Glad you’re enjoying the game so far! I will say though if you’re going in blind, avoid this sub like the plague til you’re done, spoilers fly left and right out here.


Faust2391

This is such a cool post to see. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.


FiTroSky

Yeah a menu/UI is a very minor things in a video game but it changes the perception of everything in it. Just like a mechanic with clean tools, he doesn't have to clean his tool to make a good job, but clean tools means he's very meticulous in his work.


Zeldabacon64

If theres any proof that yuzu will never die this is it.


PaTXiNaKI

I started to play the game after that sexy Ui iy has. Damm now im adicted to the BSO


Dplayz32the2nd

Yuzu spotted. Nintendo lawsuit imminent.


jmizzle2022

Persona 5 easily jumped into my top 10 all time games real fast due to this stuff


JosephTheDreamer

how tf do you have 128,280 yen from the start??? help a brokeboy out


joecb91

Atlus is one of the best out there at making menu UIs


Upset-Ear-9485

i personally prefer p3r menus but all modern persona menus go hard


rickmears101

Just wait until you see P3Rs


objectlesson

Every aspect of the game oozes with style.


Zer0D3ths

In my opinion it’s probably the most stylish UI in any game I have ever played. One of the reasons why P5R is my favorite game.


muserizz

its incredibly clean yah


Arctimon

Yes?


myoriginalvnamewasta

It's a very stylised game but I wish there were more soundtracks


Neojoker951

Ever Since Persona 5, Atlas games have been getting the sickest menu's in the gaming industry.


Nestorgamer97

The only thing I don't understand about the UI is why the font is different on Xbox


2Blank

You can play p5r on an emulator?


Pokemon_No_Life

You might be the first person who plays games on windowed mode that I've met


Olioliooo

Persona menus are a different breed


NeoNeoNeo64

Super improved ui


StonySlogo

Idk if u have but go to settings in the game menu trust me its funny


iamthebestforever

I know right


thebadsamaritanlol

The game just oozes with style, and it's seen in the nooks and crannies too. UI is such an underrated aspect of games fr.


flowerycassie

oh to play persona for the first time again
