Persona 5 Tactica review

With February fast approaching, many gamers will finally get their hands on Persona 3 Reload, the first true remake in Atlus’s beloved RPG franchise. The game is hyped for numerous reasons, the biggest being that this will be a huge upgrade compared to the original title. Said title, when it came out, was the game that saved not only the franchise but also Atlus as a studio! They used its success to make the equally beloved 4th and 5th entries, then circled around to give this game its due. If you look online right now, you’ll see how excited some gamers are for the title, as they’ve started posting gameplay and cutscenes “ahead of schedule.”

There are a lot of eternal arguments in video games that will almost certainly never be settled. PlayStation or Xbox, graphics over gameplay, or for PC players in particular, keyboard and mouse or controller. Hori might have the solution for that last one. Its Tactical Assault Commander combines keyboard and mouse with a controller, and now you can pre-order a model that has been specifically designed with Final Fantasy 14 players in mind.

With the likes of Shin Megami Tensei 5, Persona 5 Reload, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable, Atlus has released a number of its major titles for the Nintendo Switch in recent years, so when the developer announced last year that its next two flagship releases in Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio wouldn’t be coming to Nintendo’s platform, many were taken by surprise.

With all the big titles launching in the next few weeks, it’s almost easy to forget that Atlus’s Persona 3 Reload launches on February 2nd. To help remind you, a new live-action trailer is available, starring Aidan Gallagher of The Umbrella Academy fame as he ventures through the in-game worlds before crossing over into the Dark Hour to fight.

Easily, one of the biggest “problems” with certain media is their desire to “look cool” and try to bring in people to get their games. It’s not that they shouldn’t try and do this, but sometimes the look of what they show or the intent they’re trying to convey doesn’t quite line up. Ironically, the latest example of this comes from Persona 3 Reload, which isn’t even out yet. Atlus dropped a live-action trailer for the game starring Aidan Gallagher. Who’s that? He’s one of the stars of The Umbrella Academy, where he plays the time traveler called “Five.” He was in the trailer to remind players that within the game, “your time is limited.” So, the connections track, at least.

Atlus has at last respondend to the questions about a potential Persona 3 Reload Switch port by suggesting that a version of the game for Nintendo's hybrid console is not outside the realm of possibility. Its comments on the matter emerged mere weeks ahead of Persona 3 Reload's global release, which is scheduled for February 2.

Evidence from an early Persona 5 build indicates that Atlus originally planned to incorporate cameos of characters from Persona 4. The original Persona 5 had a troubled development and was delayed multiple times before its eventual release in 2016. As a result of its development troubles, there were some things left on the cutting room floor.

Atlus has outlined all the DLC available when Persona 3 Reload launches on February 2nd, from costume sets to Persona for players. There’s the Persona 5 Royal Phantom Thieves Costume Set, which has the S.E.E.S. donning the Phantom Thieves outfits, and the Persona 5 Royal Shujin Academy Costume Set, which are school uniforms.

may be a complete remake of the original game, but that doesn't mean the two are identical. takes the gist of the original, first released for the PS2 and later remade for the PSP, and brings it to the modern day with HD graphics in Unreal Engine 4. Everything that makes this the tone-setting entry in the series is intact: its procedurally generated dungeon crawls, deeply entertaining Social Links, and urban open-world setting.

Persona 5: The Phantom X may launch outside of China, as some newly emerged evidence suggests the upcoming mobile game has already been approved for release in South Korea. Atlus's fandom has been calling for Persona 5: The Phantom X to get an international release for nearly a full year by now.

A notable Persona leaker recently gave fans an update regarding a rumored spin-off game. This information comes from MbKKssTBhz5, or Midori, who has shared plenty of leaks regarding Atlus' projects. This includes a supposed release window for Persona 6, along with accurate leaks of Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload before their official announcements. One game that Midori also leaked was a spin-off codenamed «Asa.»

Persona 5 has become its own sort of mini-franchise within the Persona series. With many spin-off titles released over the years, such as Persona 5 Strikers, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, Atlus seems to love using Persona 5’s popularity to explore new stories and gameplay ideas. However, I applaud Atlus for making all of these spin-offs in completely different genres from each other. The latest, Persona 5 Tactica, delivers an entertaining story, a colorful cast of characters, and fun combat mechanics within the context of a strategy RPG. Longtime Phantom Thieves can look forward to an enjoyable side adventure, but its uneven pacing and low enemy variety hold it back from being a true revolution.
