Anyway, the game starts during the small time skip that occurs at the end of Persona 5 (at least I think that’s the intention). It’s a helluva entry barrier, but it’s worth it. Whether it’s by playing the game, watching the anime, or reading the Wikipedia summary it doesn’t matter how, but do it. You need to know the basic story beats of the original Persona 5 ( Royal is not canon) in order to properly appreciate Strikers. ![]() Atlus said you could play Strikers with no prior Persona 5 knowledge and be fine. I could keep going with a list of details big and small, there’s just so many things Persona 5 Strikers does that I like. You also start out with a full party of Phantom Thieves, so no waiting almost the whole game for everyone again. The story does more with the concept of changing hearts, and is far more interesting because of it. Dungeons, which I felt were too linear and small, are now huge and expansive. The social sim mechanics I felt dominated too much of the game time are gone. They do say honesty is golden, and I know Haru sure as hell is.įor starters, every issue I had with Persona 5 is either gone or fixed in Strikers. What matters is that Persona 5 Strikers is a very different story. One man’s lack of ambition is another’s masterpiece however, or something like that. Rather, I just felt it never lived up to the story concept’s potential, and I found the social sim gameplay to be too monotonous and respective. I put over 75 hours into it, so it wasn’t a “first hour and hated it” experience either. I loved the concept, the soundtrack is one of the best, and it just oozes style. I’m not one of those people who hates it with a passion either to be clear. Unlike seemingly the rest of the world, I wasn’t exactly enamored with Persona 5. Also known as Persona 5 Scramble in Japan, but let’s just call it P5S from now on. That’s exactly how I feel about Persona 5 Strikers. And that’s saying when Final Fantasy VII Remake is probably one of my favorite games of all time. FFT is the best example for me, because even after all this time, it’s still solidly above every other game for me. It’s not a mainline entry, so purists look at you with disdain, but you just know it’s the best. When there’s a series you enjoy, maybe even love, but there’s a spinoff that just eclipses all of its other games. The producer says: “ there is no current intention to chase that direction for the future of the Persona series at large.” In the past, real-time combat instead of turn-based had been considered for Persona 5 during the early stages of development.I call it the Final Fantasy Tactics effect.
