In Persona 4 Golden, Atlus introduced a difficulty setting know as 'Safety'. Sitting below Easy, Safety essentially ensured that anyone could enjoy the release without having to worry about getting a Game Over screen. Characters would revive automatically if their health hit zero in combat, enemies were significantly weakened, and you'd collect experience points at a much, much faster rate. Some may say that such a difficulty level takes the fun out of things, but we often think that players should be able to enjoy their purchase however they want.
Good news if you're a big fan of the social side of the series and don't want to get stuck into some hardcore grinding sessions, then, as the Safety setting is making a return in Persona 5. It'll exist alongside the standard Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty levels, and was confirmed in the title's latest gameplay video, which you can watch through here.
How do you prefer to play Persona? Do you take things easy, or do you love a good challenge? Stay safe in the comments section below.

Good addition. Think I'll probably play this the same way as P4G - go through on normal, then sweep through on easy to get any trophies I missed.
There are always the "hardcore heroes" out there who say that such things "ruin" games, but I'm all for video games being accessible to everyone. Some people just want to play to experience the story and other aspects of the game and why shouldn't they be able to? As long as there's a hard difficulty setting for the folks that want it, the idea of getting upset that people who aren't as good at the game can play too is just weird and petty.
@TripleGK We all know about your grinding habits COUGH DIGIMON COUGH
Atlus' games have gradually become much more accessible than they used to be. Although P4G was a pushover on Normal difficulty, so I can't even imagine what it's like playing the game on "safety" mode.
Im all over that safety mode then pretend to everyone I finished it on rock hard mode.
We need a super insane difficulty to balance things out. Bosses revive to full health on dying. And every fight is a boss fight. Hero characters max health is 1hp. Etc. And ironmaster mode of course. Game over means game over.
Absolutely disgusting
Will be playing on hard..
Ah the good ole easier than Risette mode. I will take normal tho.
I play on Normal, not too easy not too hard on my first run, second or third when I have a better grasp of controls I play hard or very hard.
