It is a shame it doesn't support 4k, but honestly it looks fantasic on my 4k set even at 1080p30 so I'm not too worried. The fast loading times are a godsend with this kind of game though.

The quality of the English localization was one of the few aspects singled out for criticism, with Polygon describing it as "aggravatingly mediocre". [160] [161] Another was its treatment of LGBT topics. [146] [128] [155] Writing for Paste, Kenneth Shepard considered the game to be heteronormative and noted a "lecherous" gay couple who are treated as a joke, which led him to conclude that Persona 5 sees gay men "at best as a joke and at worst something revolting to be feared". [162] These scenes' dialogue were altered in the Western version of Persona 5 Royal, [163] with its localization team advocating for the change. [164] Writing for Gayming Magazine, Shepard opined that Royal 's localization changes were appreciated, but the game was still broadly uninclusive to LGBT identities. [165] Polygon writer Laura Dale wrote that the new scenes were still based on the premise of LGBT people being predatory. [166] Royal [ edit ]
