Collection Personas, fusing them, mixing up abilities to make the ultimate OP team never got old. Which ultimately didn’t really matter because this system is just too damn good. The only major difference being you can’t perform Fusion by selecting demons, only by choosing the desired result. Unlike the combat system, it’s here mostly unchanged.
That honor belongs to the Demon Fusion System.
PERSONA 5 STRIKERS PS4 VS SWITCH FULL
Full stop.Īs hard as it is to believe though, the amazing combat and story aren’t the biggest highlights here. And it all just works, blended perfectly into one of the best action combat systems in a JRPG. Air combos, ranged gun combat, special abilities, One More strikes, Baton Pass, All Out Attacks, it’s all here. The base combo system is standard musou fare, but that’s it. Only now though was it allowed to be that properly. After all, the system was designed to be a faster paced version of Shin Megami Tensei’s Press Turn system. They’ve just been given the proper platform to shine. All of the moves, mechanics, and elements of the One More system are here. Because once you get used to it and fall into your rhythm, it sure feels like Persona 5. Strikers dropped the turn based battle system for a brand new action-based one. Well.įinally someone who speaks my language. There’s not really a lot I can say without spoiling something, but if you were worried this would feel gratuitous or deraritive don’t. Basically, there’s more trouble in the Metaverse, more twisted hearts to steal, and the Phantom Thieves are pulled back into action. 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.
PERSONA 5 STRIKERS PS4 VS SWITCH SERIES
When there’s a series you enjoy, maybe even love, but there’s a spinoff that just eclipses all of its other games. I call it the Final Fantasy Tactics effect.
