I was really pleasantly surprised by this one, especially as I didn’t like Strikers. Glad it’s actually turned out to be good, I’m 10 hours in and really impressed by how tight the game design is.
No no no. Just make a new game we have way too many spinoffs of persona. Not only that it only delays the new persona releases by at least 3-5 years everytime just so they can milk their latest game to death. I'd rather have had persona 6 now and new fresh ideas honestly.
@@merciless972 I know that but they are clearly taking their sweet time on purpose to milk the persona franchise. There's a huge difference between the release of P3 and P4 and P4/P5 and P5/P6. It's not just that the games are bigger or whatever it's intended to make money and it sucks. Especially when they end up rushing SMT5 and sacrificing it in the end for no good reason.
@@sombrego2260 there's delays for different reasons. But none have been for "milking". one major delay for persona 5 was because they redid the whole story. They even scrapped one of the main characters, and changed her to a confidant side character instead, hifumi.
For anyone that has played Tactica, can someone tell me if the Tactica story is canon to vanilla P5 or to P5R? I know the DLC has the Royal characters, but I also know they do not show up in the main story. Are they refenced at least? I just want to know which version to play before playing Tactica.
best ds game, strange journey and radiant historia are equally good. i play ds on my phone with an emulator and ps4 controller, with a mount that attaches my phone to the controller, turning my phone into an amazing portable gaming machine. i actually played through xenosaga episode 1 for ps2 on my phone not long ago. it ran perfectly, i couldn't believe it. it drained the battery absurdly fast, but it was worth it to replay one of my favorite games. i need to get a new, more powerful phone so maybe i can replay some games my phone can't quite handle, like xenosaga 2 and 3 for ps2 and skies of arcadia for dreamcast.
TRUE. PLEASE. I NEED THAT SO MUCH. I hope they can take this gameplay style and put it on other smt games. Can you imagine a devil summoner game where you maragion a parked car to take out cover?
If anything it means they won't do a DS3, otherwise why do an SRPG at all and have it not be DS3? I'm glad the game turned out good but I won't touch it out of spite. I'm not rewarding Atlus for any more Persona milking, I want PS2/DS Atlus back with their varied as hell lineup of games.
The main thing I dislike about the Persona series is the lack of freedom. Like, sometimes I want to grind a bit, rest and come back for something. But you can't rest in the games I've played without advancing the story time. Is this game like that as well, or can I have a place to heal?

@@pauls9034 Literally most of the games over the last two-three months have been great. Just looking at October-November, you have Persona 5 Tactica, Rollerdrome, Like a Dragon Gaiden, Dead Space Remake, Wild Hearts, Wartales, Jusant, Thirsty Suitors, Cocoon, Forza Motorsport, and Like a Dragon Ishin, all games with good reviews.
How much story is there compared to battles? I enjoy the Persona storytelling, but for a tactics game I rather fight battles, so I hope there isn't too much "talking" between every battle.
So this is more of a bite-sized Persona 5 spin-off game, right? I shouldn't be expecting a complex narrative and deep RPG systems like P5 Royal and Strikers had?
Eh? I'd say you'll probably have an RPG system with more depth here then Strikers. I do think Strikers will beat this out for having a more interesting narrative.
Like thousands of others, I've never played a Persona game before but am super excited for P5T because of the TTRPG gameplay - while we all would have preferred Devil Survivor 3, this is as close as we're going to get and it looks amazing!
Honestly persona strikers should have been the last entry. Luckily were getting a persona 3 remake in the style of 5, which I haven't played. Looking forward to this story. Though.
I honestly have a hard time playing the original games becuz the models for the girls are so frickin hot. When I see the chibi version I don’t get turned on becuz my brain and morals don’t associate it when sexy stuff. I can finally finish a persona game 😅
I enjoyed P5 and P5 strikers. I love fire emblem. But i really thought the combat on this game was way to basic. If your overly familiar with Tactical games, this over simplicity and lack of challenge may bore you.
Question: do I need to have completed persona 5 royal before I play this? I heard it's advisable to finish p5 before playing strikers so wondering if it's the same in this case.
It's probably best to beat at least the main Persona 5 story before playing this game(the third semester in Royal not being necessary, but it's recommended you beat that as well). While I'm sure that this game works well on its own, it'll probably be like strikers where they'll already assume the player is familiar with the characters, the setting, and the premise.
It seems similar to Strikers. That one did have sincere moments, but also a lot of fan service sillyness and bloated dialogue. The newer characters in Strikers were the highlight in that game with the main cast not getting much relevant development, and it seems similar here as well
I think I agree moreso with the IGN review on this one. Its just a worse (but still serviceable) version of P5 Royal with different combat and art style. Which was exactly my opinion of Strikers after beating that one In a year thats packed with so many good games, I think I'm gonna skip on this one. Persona 6, 3 Remake, and their other big Fantasy game will be the games to look forward to
This one is a hard pass for me. Persona 5 Royal was really fun but it dragged on and on towards the end... Rarely I've felt this fatigued by a single game
@@pauls9034 You don't have to be a genius to realize that games are comprised of more than just mechanics, numbers and gameplay loops. For me it was mostly the characters and themes that dragged on and became less interesting the more I played, so much so that I don't wish to touch anything Persona 5 related again for the foreseeable future. Hence my initial comment, but thanks for proving that you're as much of a troglodyte as myself.
@@pauls9034Why you attacking him 😭 Just his opinion P5 Royal's narrative and themes are some if the brst and most interesting put in any videogame though, especially the end, so I cant agree about it being drawn out. But I also know that game is really easy to burn out on depending on personal life factors so its understandable
It seems refreshing enough but it's so sad to see yet another p5 spinoff i reached a point where i can't stand hearing Ann's or Morgana's voice it's just too much. Also the very scummy dlc day one of atlus yet again.... Disgusting.
Man the SMT series is almost unrecognizable now compared to how cool it used to be. Now it's just anime cliches with demons and awful english VA. Hopefully they can reboot SMT
persona despite being part of the smt franchise is its own branch. It doesnt follow the as mature themes smt does and focuses more on high school life. Persona doesnt have to be as mature as smt, try not to get confused next time with the two
@@metsu4777 did you even play persona 1 or 2? Even 3? You summon your personas in 3 by mimicking suicide. Adolf hitler himself is the boss of persona 2. The first 2 games had a gritty, dark art style as well and handled serious topics. It wasn't generic anime tropes.
I so badly want to like this, but with Persona being a semi dark style of game, and this looking like something Nintendo would make targeting 12 year olds….I’m finding it difficult. I’m 40, don’t watch anime and am perfectly comfortable with being a man, and not liking things like “the color pink” just because it’s the new “thing”. If that helps you with your judgement you’ll inevitably pass lol
Lol i mean theres plenty of Anime for adults that isn't this silly and flamboyant in art style, but I agree with your overall point. This feels more targeted at solely a teenage and younger audience where P5 Royal didnt

newbie to this and i’m getting it.
Seems like Marie ditched Yu after P4G and became a pink tyrant in this alternate world.
Just wait until how Makoto changed between Persona 3 and 5
But About time atlus make persona 6 not milking 5 again...
I always look forward to your reviews! Keep up the good work :)
Beefy soundtrack at the end. Brawler mode ON!
That was my fault. Damn it. - Azario
Hopefully this does well. Would be awesome to see a sequel with other pesona series or a persona x shin megami tensei turn based strategy game.

I'm so over the Persona 5 world as Atlus is just really milking it till it dies, but I'll try it on sale.
So hyped for this! Prefer this over remaster/remakes everyday.
hopefully this will continue the tactical series with a good upgrades , char

It's good to be a Gamepass subscriber this month, lies of P, Like a dragon Gaiden and now this
its good to be a gamer period im about to get this, sigmar on the 17, mario rpg, persona 3 in feb, horizon west in jan a ton more i cant remember lol

When Persona 5 meets Fire Emblem be like:
Doesn't even release yet and we already have a review.
That's how reviews are made lmao.
They often get codes and games before release so people that are dubious can decide on release.
Oh, can't wait.
Just why that damn chibi look game could have been so great.
Any idea if it has any sort of endgame or after story is done, game is done? I always feel tactics RPGs need some endgame content.
im so bummed out that this is an XCOM kind of SRPG and not a Final Fantasy Tactics kind of SRPG
They look so cute as Chibi's.
How much story is there compared to battles? I enjoy the Persona storytelling, but for a tactics game I rather fight battles, so I hope there isn't too much "talking" between every battle.
It a persona game dude, there is gonna be a lot of cutscenes as fans of persona we want a lot of talking that what the series should always be
There is a FUCKTON of talking.

Strikers and Complex narrative? Idk about all that
But yeah it seems to have a story on par with that one
Hope its like fire emblem more so than mario rabbids or xcom.
Either way, im hype
1:50 welp. Lol
I am sad that Sega has horribly bad pricing outside the US these days. Game sounds neat enough.
I thought it was coming out on the 17th? Is this a mistake or should i hope lol
Like thousands of others, I've never played a Persona game before but am super excited for P5T because of the TTRPG gameplay - while we all would have preferred Devil Survivor 3, this is as close as we're going to get and it looks amazing!
If they only use the original character designs than the chibi art style, I would have gave it a 9.5 out of 10. Nevertheless a good game overall.
Man what I would do for DeSu 3.
Do we need to know any story of the other games to enjoy this one? :)
no need, although playing it is advisable because they're fun
No quite but its in fact recommended to play the main one as the game assumes you know lore
I think we've had enough Persona 5 stuff already.
This looks fun, but I kinda wish that ATLUS moves foward with Persona/SMT franchise.
I agree. We can wait a couple of years for Persona 6 and keep it pushing
I can see them coming out with persona 5 ultimax, so far we have:
P5, P5R, P5S, P5T... all that's left is P5U...
Honestly persona strikers should have been the last entry. Luckily were getting a persona 3 remake in the style of 5, which I haven't played. Looking forward to this story. Though.
Nah my dude, having P5T is going to get thousands of new gamers into the Persona series!
Agreed Strikers was a far better game
a 9? wow!
I thought it was going to be like Fire Emblem not like Mario Rabbids lol I will get this one on sale
hopefully tons and tons of replay value?
