After 30+ hours of playing, I am here with my review of Persona 5 Tactica! Is this game another gem in the Persona series, or is this just another lazy cashgrab by Atlus to milk the Persona 5 name? Watch this video to find out!

One thing I'm surprised that atlis didn't do with a persona 5 spin off is to go all out with the stealth stuff and make a full stealth game
@@harrisonwhaley7872bro who cares you know what he meant
Like MGS?
That would be better than a stupid ass basic srpg
Because turning a turn based JRPG into stealth game wouldn't work, while also keeping the RPG part in the game. I mean, look how people were dissapointed with Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Vallhalla, when AC was mainly a stealth based game franchise and it was turned into a stealth game with heavy RPG mechanics and became a loot grinder to keep up with high level enemies.
@@dragon387ify Lmfao where's the "RPG" in the dancing games? In Arena? Those Ass Creed games aren't spinoffs and were mainline titles, that's why people found it annoying there. These Persona spinoffs make themselves known as spinoffs first and foremost. Not a similar situation at all.
Haru gets better every spin-off. Went from my least favorite party member to second favorite across all of them.
Atlus knows how to develope their chars lol
Nah bro you can’t just stop there bro who’s the favorite
Gotta make up from her lack of time in the main game, right?
Yeah, with the way they forced Kasumi in Royal, it makes me wish Atlus had at least introduced her earlier in the story like how the characters meet Makoto long before she actually gets involved with her arch.
Maybe if we ever get a FeMC Persona 5 remake.
Anyways Haru had such a great wedding fantasy in this game with a cute ponytail look that I’m gonna romance her next Royal run.
I especially liked the one optional convo where she talks about her history with axes. Iirc that was never mentioned anywhere else and fleshes her character design out very well.
If Kasumi and Akechi are gonna be brought back in spin offs, we need Sophie and Zenkichi too. Just saying
It just depends on where in the timeline we are since this take place just before the end of royal technically after the 14/2 but as you guest before Strikers
Sophie and Zenkichi got sent to the shadow realm with the arena characters to make room for akechi and kasumi
Tactica takes place between the end of Royal and Strikers. Specificly late Febuary 2017 right before Joker turns himself in, while Strikers takes place in Summer 2017 after Joker is let out of juvie and cleared of all charges and the phantom thieves celebrate with a road trip across Japan.
@@truepowersichigo1952as you guest
strikers isnt canon
@@truepowersichigo1952
The third setting being a school is likely a reference to the 1968 japanese university revolts, and the rise of the new japanese left
It's sad that most people don't get the reference since it's a pretty big moment in Japan's history, but so obscure in most media especially in anime. It shows that even modern Japan do have their own turbulence through out time.
@@poloecraziethey kinda should’ve more outright said it in the game if it was that
Doesn't the Anime Hyouka talk a lot of about that? I found it pretty fascinating!
Since P5T is set in 2017, wouldn’t that predate Toshiro’s time in school by a lot? If he is in his early 30s/late 20s, he would have been in highschool in the 2000s.
@@poloecrazie Probably something to do with portraying a leftist revolution as positive. Not a narrative that flies most places, unfortunately.
I find funny how Persona 5 goes so hard on the "rotten adults" thing that Strikers and Tactica have to go like "Adults can be cool too"
Persona 5 also showed how adults can be cool too with several of the confidants.
@@UncannyEXP yeah, you're right, you have to go out of your way to get those confidants but the message is definitely there
@@Forever_ZeroI mean compared to P4 and P3, you don’t have to go that much out of your way. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU LITERALLY MISS KANJI? Why do I need to jump through hoops to hang out with my boy?
@@Forever_Zeronot really, Sae and Sojiro just naturally turn out that way as the story goes. They even say its okay to leave it to the adults
@@goroadachi9489facts he was one of my favorite characters but i could only get him to rank 4 by the end of the game
I'm gonna be honest, if the entire game was a more fleshed out version of specifically the DLC story, I'd buy it. I like the aesthetic of it, the paint mechanic, and just having more content with both Akechi and Kasumi.
Seriously, why are Atlus so damn scared of just having those two in more side games.
I think it's because of timeline and narrative consistency. Development and release timing is another factor of the characters placement in the spin offs. Taking into account Atlus tendency to connect narratives/timelines, it's likely the next spin off continuation story, timeline wise after Strikers will have everyone from the P5 generation together. Considering Erina and Toshiro's relationship, it can be assumed they share the same Arcana category as Maruki and Zenkichi, which leaves 1 more red hair woman, under the same Arcana category as Sumi and Sophia in future stories
Because, and I shit you not:
"We wanted to leave Akechi's fate up to the players. We know it might be controversial, but having it be determined by how much investment the player spends with him was eventually what we went with."
Aka, he stays dead if you don't care, he lives if you do.
It's part of the interviews in the recently released P5 Royal Artbook.
So because of that, he's now permanently pigeon-holed into Princekechi to keep that consistent.
As for Kasumi... They didn't say much about her beyond character design, but presumably it's just to keep people spoiler-free. Yet another unfortunate pigeon-hole.
It's especially noticeable how sucky this is in the DLC, since they both have plenty to relate to with Guernica, but aren't given ANY opportunity to be fleshed out through her.
As someone who adores XCOM style strategy games. This was probably my favorite Persona game so far. I was hoping for a little more in the actual prepwork like maybe add some specific gear to each character like Joker's grappling hook. But other than that i had an absolute blast playing the game.
I like this style more than Xcom. I couldn’t get into the managing of the soldiers. It felt like it would get to be very tedious
16:54.
Actually, I recommend people do the DLC AT LEAST after the Second Kingdom as there's spoilers from it in the post credit scene.
Also tune out the (unskipable) credits because they spoil a late game twist and the final boss.
In fairness to Strikers, it started production before Royal did.
I feel like the third kingdom being in highschool was less the budget and more of an intentional decision. This is the point in the story where the truth is unveiled and the portals help make an SMT if reference.
Yeah Toshiro is a great character. It's actually a lot of fun seeing people's blind reactions to him: hating him at first, finding him annoying, and then as the game goes on he becomes their favorite character. That's good development!!! And for once in a Persona spinoff, they don't forget everything by the end! I was so afraid they would and absolutely destroy Toshiro's development, but nope, thank god they kept it.
And while I am happy that the royal trio got to be in their own adventure, I definitely agree it should have been longer. It's so short that I just didn't care about the new characters at all, and of course because it takes place during the story of P5, they forget about it in the end, unlike the main game. I wish it had taken place in or after third semester, but oh well...
Keep in mind Atlus will connect everything in the next spin off, narrative and timeline wise, after Strikers, with Royal having more relevancy. This also happened in Arena Ultimax and Dancing All Night, which closes off Persona 4 generation proper. However, Atlus P-Studio was behind schedule due to COVID and shift in the development crew with Wada as the new director after Hashino.
I kinda hated how the whole cast hates toshiro pretty randomly for the first chunk of the game. It's always felt so unnecessary and makes everyone really annoying when every other line is "oh man fuck toshiro by the way"
@@hunbi1875 I mean I guess I can kind of see why they didn't like him at first. He's a politician, first of all, and they don't exactly have the best track record with politicians. And he always kinda acted like he knew what was best and right and "just" when really he had no idea what he was talking about. Thankfully it doesn't stick around too long; I feel like once they entered Marie's castle they gave him a break, so it didn't overstay its welcome.
Great review Nyarly.
Joker, Noir, Fox became my go to team as well.
Psychic plus gun damage is too good. Mind you I'm good at the game, but not addicted like other P5 games. Watching your review I may keep a steady pace with it now.
You have singlewordedly ignited my heart to see tactica all the way through, I no longer have buyers remorse.
This reminds me of when I pushed through the super difficult final 2 dungeons in PQ, as I was motivated to uncover the truth and save Rei from the hell she is in! That’s the power of resolve and good storytelling!
How was it man? I just finished my playthrough
it was really good!@@OurLance
@@OurLance really fucking good, doing a merciless playthrough in NG+
I'm not sure if I want to get this one, I was never big on tactical RPG's. Now if its on the easier side I might want to check it out since I was never too good at games like them, even then I kinda would like to maybe see some persona 6 news, as it stands I'll probably wait for a sale. Glad to see a fair review of the game thank you
I've never played a Tactical RPG before this, and the difficulty settings can be adjusted at any time to find your comfort zone. I had virtually no trouble unless I intentionally made things difficult for myself for the sake of one achivement
Got this for Christmas so the only thing I paid for was the Repaint your Heart DLC. And I'm having a pretty good time with this game. I was pretty sour about the art style at first, but like you it started to grow on me. I think its a pretty good spin-off.
I wouldnt say the art style grew on me but i did get used to it. Its just the facial expressions that i really like
I haven't played X-Com, but how Persona 5 Tactica compares to Valkyria Chronicles games? I own Valkyria 1 and 4, they have the cover and clever shooting range for both allies and enemies, some maps can get tricky while being on a map in later turns enemy rainforces arrive with ,ore menazing weapons
I think a lot of the reason why the lyrics don’t sound as powerful and meaningful as the other games is because Lotus Juice did not write the lyrics other than the DLC ones which I like a lot.
I know you said this game was easy, but i'm chronically terrible at these kinds of strategy games, so i'm probably gonna struggle. Not to mention you're also the person who beast Nocture without any buffs, so everything is gonna seem easy conpared to that.
i have been having tons of fun with the game and i will admit im kinda glad i wasnt the only one that thought the first 2 kingdoms and the jump to the third [ive been stuck there a bit] were a bit off because legit my reaction was "wait why does this new one not have a theme like the last two????"
Really great review I loved this game and played on xbox through game pass it was way more fun than I thought it would be
I was actually worried about this game not having a good enough story, since a lot of strategy RPGs tend to feel like it's gameplay first and story second, but I think you convinced me to give this game a try
Before I click Confirm Order, I have a question: does the DLC provide any story updates for Akechi and Kasumi?
The DLC actually does this little thing where the characters reveal things ahead of when it happens in Royal and then there’s a memory wipe at the end.
So it’s not really an update, more like extending the Royal trio experience around the time of the Casino palace. If you think about the timeline too hard it gets confusing and there’s no new info about them, just more character depth through dialogue to have them react to the DLC story.
I've not finished the game myself yet, currently towards the start of kingdom three, but there was one thing that bothered me about the game that I'm surprised didn't come up here: There's a Persona skill that makes you stronger while you're suffering from statuses, it's on some late game personas even, but not a single normal enemy in the entire game up to the point I'm at can apply statuses to you.
It just seems odd that something as obvious as making fights harder by having the enemies throw statuses at you is just not done for at least the first half of this game (only coming up in 3 battles in the first kingdom). It's also odd that the game doesn't tell you what the statuses actually do. Most of them are straightforward enough, but, what does Despair do? As far as I've been able to tell it just makes a status icon appear next to the enemy's healthbar.
There's a help menu that tells you everything you need.
Despair steals enemy movement. They have less movement in their next turn, and if you got a One More, your next movement is increased by 1 per despair victim.
So can anyone tell me if phantom thieves will forget everything in the end? Cause if so, then I just don’t see any point in this story.
After completing Persona 5 Tactica 100% I thought it was fairly good. I love the intro theme revolution in your heart.
As you point out the game may have been rushed and as a result the pacing could have been a little slower.
Another gripe was the lack of Strikers characters. I would have liked to see Zenkichi show up. As it turns out this game takes place before Strikers but still they could have been part of a DLC side story.
It would not made sense why zenkichi would be there since it happens before strikers
Meh. Last boss is another god. It's getting repetitive. They are teens for crying out loud. It's so over the top to let them fight gods.
@@rhovenom04 Hi, Welcome to the Persona franchise where teens have been facing down gods since the first game on the PS1 back in the 1990s
@@rhovenom04fighting god is like fighting dragons in Fire emblem, it kinda has to happen at this point but at least persona wise gives the gods a big reason pertaining to the morale of the story where as in Fire emblem they may be an antag but that’s really all
I also didn't even know you could grind until the end lmao I pretty much only ever had to redo the "Do this in one turn" side quests
The game felt like it had a lot of potential, but it was too shallow. Gameplay, level design, balancing, they were all just a bit too shallow, but could have been great
I really loved Persona 5 Tactica. I loved the story & gameplay and I'm not even the biggest SRPG fan. The Repaint Your Heart DLC is fun but it should have been a little bit longer especially if you're gonna charge $20 for it.
It is on sale right now for $16. Do you think that that is a reasonable price for the DLC? I have no interest in the picardo persona or guns DLC.
@knightshade2654 If you really want to have it go for it.
Is merciless easier or harder than Hard? I’ve been playing on Hard and trying to always complete the challenges and I’ve had to redo a lot to keep any of my allies from going down ever.
I believe hard gives the enemy 50% more attack and merciless that + 50% more hp.
Regarding the 3rd Kingdom, I suspect that is more an implication of the Japan University student anti-establishment movement in the late 60s.
Currently playing it. I have reservations with the character model. I prefer they make the characters like in Strikers. But it's Persona 5 series so I'm pretty sure this'll be great as always.
The Triple Threats remind me of something similar in another tactical RPG. I forget the name of it but anyone that remembers it can remind me and I'll be super grateful. Basically, you have 3 characters in your Party with different guns. Combat functions with you aiming your characters in a certain direction, and as they move in that direction they'll shoot at whatever enemy to tell them to aim at. You can also make your party member jump up into the air, while shooting, which I loved doing.
Anyways, that game also had a "Maneuver your characters into a triangle shape to unleash an attack on the enemy all at once" type move. For whatever reason, I could never pull it off, and I actually lost the game before I ever got to play it again.
Really wish I could remember the name of it.
You're thinking of Resonance of Fate, awesome game
Resonance of fate
Resonance of Fate?
👏YES
I actually liked the story of Repaint Your Heart more than the base game, because the characters acted like actual characters instead of oversimplified bastardizations of what made them great in P5. I get that the main game did this to focus on Toshiro and Erina, but I couldn't help but find myself asking "Why is this a P5 spin off?" quite a lot. In Repaint Your Heart, Akechi and Kasumi are much more involved in the storytelling, so they do a better job fitting into the story than the Phantom Thieves did.
It also took me much longer to finish Repaint Your Heart (around 7 ish hours) because I wanted to see if you got any main game incentives for finishing it, so I didn't have the skill that you would normally accumulate from finishing the main game first. Overall I thought it was a very fun and solid experience, and is probably worth the $20 if you like the combat of the main game. You also unlock extra challenge missions from the Repaint Your Heart dlc, so there's that, too.
While I haven't played Repaint Your Heart yet, honestly, I thought the characters were the best they've been since their P5 debuts. Late-game P5 and Strikers started streamlining everyone's personalities so much, like Ryuji almost always being the idiot of the group or Morgana almost always being an Ann simp. In the case of Strikers, there was an attempt at having the Thieves be able to talk to others going through problems reminiscent of their trauma but there are multiple opportunities not taken up at all, such as Futaba with Akane and her mother or Ryuji with Konoe and his father. Each thief in Tactica gets a moment to be able to relate to Toshiro and they finally toned down the overused tropes of Ryuji being made completely stupid, Morgana being entirely an Ann simp, Makoto always being the temperamental strategist; they aren't entirely removed but they're far less overdone and in some cases done better, like Ryuji not understanding something entirely but he asks about it and the gang doesn't berate him for it, unlike Strikers. In his case, he finally feels more like how he was during the Kamoshida arc again. Should this have been a P5 spin off? Maybe not considering the poor release timing, but I feel like they put a lot more heart into this.
@@GamingPerson-yu4yeI agree, the PT were handled extremely well in P5T
>implying characters were great in P5
@@lemonov3031 The party ebbed and flowed in P5.
Morgana is not that bad but is hampered by being attracted to you for virtually the entire game. People misunderstand the reason he ran away, but he still cucked Haru out of her arc and always through out some poor dialog to the final bosses.
Ryuji actually had development throughout the entire game, and, despite how stupid he is, he was endearing to me. The late game and Strikers reduced his character to a hothead who loves eating, but I thought that his consistent support of Toshiro was great.
Ann… amazing during the Kamoshido arc, great during the Madarame arc, forgotten after that. Strikers have her a bit more character but only at the beginning. Poor girl.
Yusuke quickly became coming relief after Madarame arc, and he is consistent if nothing else. I like him but can see why many are frustrated by him.
Makoto’s introduction really introduced a turning point for how the PT functions, with everyone else suddenly becoming dumber. She is not badly written, but the writing that surrounds her is. She also suffers badly from spin-off flanderization (scary and scared of ghosts)
Futaba is a love-or-hate character, for she becomes the “gamer gremlin” pretty quickly and has remained as such through the main game and spin-offs.
Haru is a joke in the main game and only became more of a character in the spin-offs. She is perhaps the only Persona character who is more developed in spin-offs than her base game.
tl;dr Most of the PTs are fine in P5, albeit with some heavy issue.
@@knightshade2654 Well those heavy issues are what ruins it for me.
Plus, I can never forget that Ann is Ginko but worse in every way and Futaba is just a coomer oriented Baofu.
Well the story explains why the third setting is a high school. And I love the base game but haven't tried the DLC yet though I own it. I haven't finished the base game yet though I probably will have before going to sleep since I'm at the final battle. Its after midnight where I live and I'll probably start the DLC tonight or tomorrow at the latest unless something goes very wrong
While I like Toshiro, seems like there was a missed opportunity to involve the Politician Sun arcana from persona 5.
Game needs some custom maps mode or even online multiplayer.
Also why not give us Sophia and Zenkichi DLC? More useful than lame Persona DLC and you could do $10 no story.
Could have been a 10/10 if they set it after Strikers and involved more map variety like you mentioned. Also kinda let down some of the sub menus didn’t have the same level of style Persona 5 did with animations of Joker.
glad to see people like this game. im look for (person 3 reload and dlc) . this will be the only game i dont have until it low in cost .
I played it through Gamepass and I really liked it. The story was surprisingly very good and I liked how most of the Phantom Thieves could relate to Toshiro since they faced similar trauma and the game does mention this when they interact with Toshiro.
The OST was all around very good I even liked the Vocal tracks. It is worth your time if you are looking for more Persona 5, a great strategy game and just an overall great story.
Can you make a video of you eating crow about Persona 3 Reload? Since your videos on the game was based on early and poorly distributed information, I want you to talk about the game as it is now with all that we know as its only two months out from release.
Great review Nyarly !
Ok, so it's easy but what if you suck suuuuupper hard at tactical games, like myself? Would it be just average or still hard for me? I am person who couldn't get past the second battle in Final Fantasy tactics back in the day. lol
19:50 song?
after beating the game, i think i love the game! like i really do! just a shame that there will be few people who share this with me.
Definitely pick it up on sale. I grabbed it off Amazon for $34.99.
This game genuinely seems really cool, I'll probably get it if it goes on sale at some point
It's certainly a solid 40 hour game start to finish not including the DLC content
It really feels like a gamepass focused kinda price point
hey, i know it is a bit off topic, but you should try a challenge where you beat smt nocturne whit only the pixie that joins you at the start of the game,
I'm glad I waited a bit and got the digital deluxe edition for $60, I feel like the game plus the DLC for that price is fair enough, and I've been enjoying it a lot so far (just finished the first Kingdom)
Hey, Nyarly. One of the most prominent channels in the MegaTen community, BuffMaister, was hacked and terminated yesterday. I hope you can help get his channel back online.
Girl in mouse onesie nice nice, I (kinda) like the art style, really like that dlc music
It's been what, almost 7 years or something and still no Arena? You'd think Atlus would realize the absolute cash cow Persona can become as a fighting game franchise.😂
I mean sure, this is a good game but... I'm still waiting Atlus.
Well pals technically it could be the next spinoff since p5 as already have PQ2 P5R P5S P5T so next could possibly be P5U for ultimax or ultimate
There’s still the chance that we could get another Arena game, it just depends on Arc System Works. As they’ve been very busy in recent years.
@@J2ojuiced95 another thing to point out the spin-offs genre depends on the narrative direction of the story. The fighting game genre in P4 Arena is due to the 2 new P3 gen related characters, Labrys and Sho's background as experimental subjects, with one of the tests is fight till death. The TV World; one of the sections of the collective cognition materialize that dark thoughts into an Arena format.
Atlus needs to make a specific spin off genre not out of a whim or fans request, but valid narrative reasons. The warriors style works well in Persona to some extent as it's more of a representation of how all Persons teams fight in actual combat, seen more in the anime. For Tactica, it's more on the use of strategies for victory, as seen with Toshiro mostly leading/strategizing for the Phantom Thieves and Rebel Corps into victory.
Im confused.
Companies can just not allow you to show late game footage of a game even tho its long been released? I'd understand if it was a review code like a week before release but the game released 2 weeks ago.
6 months later but yea, kind of. At least on Playstation, certain games can block gameplay recording to prevent spoilers or whatever. I usually only see em on Atlas games though.
eh strikers got reaaly chep after some months so i will wait for a lower price, im still eagerly to play it tho as a fan of the genre and as fan of P5, i still have to play strikers tho
I really wanted to try it but i only had money for this or Granblue versus
The Night We Stood goes wildly hard.
im actually surprised and like this game so much
When I first saw this game, I thought it was gonna be mid. It was just not giving me good vibes at all. Also doesn't help that the Super Mario RPG remake came out on the exact same day and all the Persona hype right now is for Persona 3 Reload. But, I gave it a shot and... It was surprisingly really fun!
Holy shit we used the exact same party! Joker, Yusuke, & Haru!
Honestly, the main game seemed pretty good to me, although I would have liked there to be a little more variety of enemies, there are only like 6 in the game and I know that the Persona saga doesn't stand out for making extremely difficult games, but it was so easy (maybe it's because unlike xcom you don't have to worry about missing shots or the fear of receiving a critical while in full cover but Even if you barely fuse people you can beat the game, I managed to finish it on difficult in my first one without any guide using almost always Joker Makoto and Yosuke
) it's not a bad game but there were a lot of things they could have done to make the game better.
Do not buy the Gun DLC! You will outclass them by the beginning of the third kingdom if not earlier. I can’t remember exactly when but I used them since I bought the bundle and they looked cool, and when you have to sell them off it’s no fun lol considering you spent actual money on them. They do sell off for decent money but that’s about as good as it gets and then you’re onto better guns from the velvet room
Absolutely gonna wait for a sale.
Good to see Toshiro faithfully continue the multidinensional fleshed out politician archetype tradition that Toru started in the Sun Confidant Link.
I don’t like the one move every turn like if you could shoot and physical attack and upgrading characters barley does anything
I like the music, it's just missing the 'hype/standout songs'
I like the game. I wouldn't say it's worth $60, but I think it's a pretty good deal if you can catch it on sale, and even then I don't really regret buying it for full price.
Was playing Majin Tensei, now I'm mad that I didn't know about this one. I don't like P5 but the gameplay looks so good.
just finished the main game, and I really liked the story of it. I like how they went about the new characters here. it's just a shame that the game is too easy and the vocal music isn't as good as the other p5 games. I'm fully convinced on buying the dlc because of hearing it's challenging, and they got lotus juice on that shit too. Why didn't they have him on the main game?
One question...... Is this anything like Shining force? Looks kinda grid/turn based....
What I am getting out of this is that I should wait for a bundle/discount that includes the DLC down the line, and then it'll be absolutely worth it. Royal version of spinoffs when?
Yeah, ngl, I don't see how this story is good
I found it boring, passable at best
My favorite P5 spinoff!
Toshiro's design gives the feeling of Larry from pokemon scarlet/violet, and I love that
For me, Persona 5 really has outstayed its welcome, they milked this cow dead dry. Everything about this game screams "solid conveyor belt product" to me and that's far too little. Stop Atlus, just stop.
damn those guitar wails remind me a lot of DDS aha
Can’t get past quest 1 on easy mode. 😢
🤷🏾♀️ you're probably just really good at those kinda games. I haven't played one since the psp days. No need to worry.. someone probably will make a hard mod 😅
I would not get this for the switch, i have it and the load time are ridiculous, ill prob get it for my pc later
So confused how you kept personas for a long time. I was literally fusing between every single battle. If I had above 3 personas I was fusing immediately
Just level them up and fuse other personas
The centerpoint of the phrase on the flag roughly translates to "If you wish for peace, conquer yourself"
It looks fine. How much was it again..$30? That seems about right
I'm gonna be honest with you, i'm just tired of Persona 5 already man. I'm glad a lot of people are enjoying it but I'm done, I'd rather wait for P6 or at least P3's remake.
i actually think p5 strikers handled money decently, you needed to grind sometimes but it was never too much
General impression of the music is that it sounds like they asked Chat GPT to make Persona music with like a Rock filter
And codename:STEAM, right?
The DLC was fucking amazing the guernuca music was soooo good
I just realized: Are Personas even given an Arcana in this game? Does Arcana exist in this game at all, or am I insane?
Arcana was replaced with status types in this game. The types do not affect gameplay other than sharing a common theme (warrior figures, malevolent figures, etc), but even that is changed to accommodate certain skills.
the game was too painfully easy on merciless. i wish developers would spend more time creating a real challenge so games feel more immersive.
It is a shame that the release of this game was kind of overshadowed by Super Mario RPG!
My problem with this game is its gameplay to story(dialogues mostly) ratio. I really liked gameplay but the amount of visual novel was just too much for me so i dropped the game
I prefer lots of dialogue to gameplay, especially when the gameplay is frustrating. Visual novels are awesome.
@@KrimsonKattYT especially with the animation. Mappa KNOWS how to animate p5
@@inviz1440 Yeah Mappa is amazing. Too bad they didn't do the ACTUAL Persona 5 anime. The dub was really well done and funny similar to the Persona 4 anime dub, but other than that it was just awful. So! Many! Animation! Errors! The studio that made P5A must be the most inconsistent anime studio ever. On one hand they made SAO, a terrible show with suprisingly beautiful animation. (and music. And character designs) On the other they made Seven Deadly Sins seasons 3&4 and Persona 5 the Animation, some of the ugliest 2D anime ever, and I don't want to BEGIN talking about the 3D ones like EX Arm or Berserk 2016 or weird hybrids like Master of Ragnarok or that awful V-Tuber anime. And don't forget the... GASP! Slideshow and mo-capped anime! Naria Girls still gives me PTSD with how negative budget God awful that show was. And then we get stuff like Godless Reincarnation, a shitpost of an anime that goes from god-tier "100% Deku VS Overhaul" animation quality to intentionally bad, horrifically bad animation like the PS1 model CGI monster or GOSH DANG LIVE ACTION STOCK FOOTAGE WITH AN ANIME AI FILTER or lazy pixel art.
@@KrimsonKattYT Please don't remind me of the garbage p5 anime LOL. It was terrible. I think they need to shut down there studio as a whole
Do a challenge run
Wasn't Persona 5 Strikers 30 or 40 bucks? I'll probably wait till a sale puts this game in that price range.
the dlc is mario + rabbids: persona splatoon edition
It sounds like repaint you're heart is basically Persona 3 FES the answer of the p5t world
So glad I'm not the only one that thought this game was easy, the hardest fights in this game are more slow grind games than anything, and the DLC is actually... Kinda sad, in terms of difficulty, the paint mechanics are insanely broken so it makes either side having pretty severe snowballing very common
Edit: Also so glad I'm not the only one that felt like we were missing... At least one kingdom? Also, Toshiro, when he becomes playable, feels... Handled a little weird?
This is one of my favorite games of all time. Probably the best turn based strategy game ever.
Rip the one Sophie fan in that DLC XD
I think the reason you feel like it’s rushed was probably the result of the gamepass day one strategy.
This is a very good price point for the subscription service, so Atlus probably developed this spinoff with that in mind. Keeping the development streamlined to get a solid return without overindulging resources.
Sometimes it even feels like it was designed for remote play/switch with the simple character dialogue and graphical style. I bet it could even run on mobile.
I swear kasumi fans cannot catch a break when it comes to dlc being shoved down their throats first it was being sold a dlc outfit pack for her when she literally can only wear the outfits in 1/9th of the game and now it's dlc for her to be playable in this game
They are milking the hell out of P5. I’ve been ready for P6 for awhile now. I bought it. Thanks for your take on it!
Instead of making persona spin-offs they should make more shin megami tensei games they could take some of the concepts for this game and make a crazy smt game with killer difficulty
Overlooked? It's barely been two weeks since it dropped.
It sells worse than Soul Hackers 2 (in Japan).. Only Tokyo Mirage Sessions did worse. In West this game is also not big seller, like Strikers, or even Q games.
Honestly the final dungeon/ final boss arena looks like a scrapped Bomberman R fight.
I wouldn’t buy it for more than $50, I like the game but it’s not worth the full $70 especially when it doesn’t include any of the dlc
???? tfym overlooked it literally just came out
