Persona 5 + Persona 5 Royal: Official Design Works

This book contains so much art it has set the new standard for design works. About an inch thick of character illustrations, sketches, level designs, and the thought process behind the design choices. Easily worth the money especially if your a fan of the game or game design in general. The occasional typo can have you chuckling but despite that this book is wonderful

Definitely a hefty artbook, which makes sense given the high price tag. Be forewarned though that most of the book, around 412 pages, is dedicated to character art from the main cast to side and antagonists. I did appreciate how there is an artist explanation on how each character was designed. The last 100ish pages are focused on the world of P5.The characters are the stars of the game, which makes their emphasis in this book make sense. Its just different from most game art books that spread focus around environment art and characters evenly.

The art is super high quality. Feels like there is an endless amount of pages and design documents to graze over. Super detailed and really awesome.

Huge art book with mostly character art. It would have been nice if more background environment art and actually personas/ palaces/ bosses were shown, but still great.

The media could not be loaded. Large and hefty collector's book of Persona 5 artwork. I missed out on the original edition and was thrilled to get a pre-order in for this updated one. If you're as fanatical about P5 and the series as much as I am this is a must have! I grew up on JRPGs and thought I'd seen the genre peak with FF7 and Square's collection (Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger) but Atlus managed to capture my heart and imagination all over again with their incredible combo of graphics, animation, gameplay, music, and story. I'm excited to have this book to relive all the amazing memories and see the process of bringing the game to life first hand. P5 is unquestionably one of the best games of all time and I look forward to what the series has in store next. Huge shoutout to the Atlus team for all their hard work bringing the game and this book to life!

Was hoping for compilation of 2 JP books, original (~500 pages) and Royal (~270 pages), instead got just original book with several royal pages added.I understand they could not release 800+ pages book, but there are so many same-ish original character stuff, that could be easily shrinked away and P5R stuff added instead. P5R is an improved version of the game, not just some 2hr-long DLC, and clearly those who compiled this book haven't played it and haven't understood what they were dealing with.It is also mainly "character art book", not "art book", the non-character content is very brief and it's underwhelming.

It arrived in perfect condition!!! I’m so excited and the book is wayyyy bigger than I thought (which is amazing)

I just opened my package and noticed the book is already tearing out of the bind. Very disappointing quality production for the otherwise extraordinary content
