Should You Buy Persona 5 Tactica?

Review code provided by Sega & Atlus.

#persona5 #review #sega

Persona 5 Tactica is the latest entry in the Persona series and is the 4th spinoff featuring the Persona 5 cast. The game was recently released worldwide and I know that a lot of people are on the fence about this one due to its dramatically different art style and gameplay. I myself was pretty unsure about Persona 5 Tactica going into it however I came out pleasantly surprised with what’s on offer here. While I usually make videos going into detail about my experiences surrounding these games, I figure that today I’m going to do something a little bit different and see if the game is right for you. Is Persona 5 Tactica something you should bother trying out or is it something you’re better off skipping out on it. I’ll also be doing this with as little spoilers as possible and will only be showing footage from the first two areas of the game. Don't worry, I’m still going to make a full breakdown on this game in the future, but since Tactica is new I just wanted to strike while the iron is hot, you know? However, before we get started I want to disclose that I was provided with a review copy of this game by Sega and Atlus. To a lot of people, this will immediately put wherever I say, both positive and negative, under scrutiny and I don’t blame people for thinking that way.

The most I can do is assure people that my words cannot and have never been influenced by the prospect of getting review codes. I’m pretty sure my previous track record is more than enough proof of this. However, regardless of those previous reviews, it’s impossible to deny that we all have our own personal biases. Sometimes people will like something and others won’t so do yourself a favor and don’t just take my word for it and look at other reviews too to see if this is something that you’ll like. Games are pretty expensive nowadays and the last thing we want is to drop a bunch of cash on something we end up hating. Or in Tactica’s case, a bunch of cash plus a tip if you want to get everything on offer but I’m getting a little bit ahead of myself here.

Are you going to buy Persona 5 Tactica? Have you already played it? Let me know your thoughts down below!

[sanic]

honestly I know people are tired of persona 5 spinoffs but I'd rather they give us a bunch of fun spinoffs so persona 6 has the most development time possible so it can really blow us away

I think my favorite part about this game is that no one character is insanely over powered, there's reasons to change up your party in my experience which is really cool to see in a game with this many characters. I enjoyed Tactica a lot more than I thought I would, I think I would be OK if it was the last Persona 5 spin off. (It wont be though cause Atlus likes money). Great video bestie keep up the great work!

Minor correction: There actually is exactly enough GP to completely max out everybody's skill trees. If you complete all the quests, talk episodes and reach level 99, you'll have exactly the required number of points to learn all the skills.

Other than that, great review; I enjoyed this game more than I thought I would.

[chessedgamon]

This game is somehow both surprisingly great and disappointing at the same time. I really really wish the game could be expanded on, but that's probably asking too much of a spin off.

I'd also like to mention the animations in the cutscenes look almost uncannily clean. The persona fusion animation in particular is one of my favorites.

[Triceratopping]

I found it funny that P5T continues the trend set in Strikers where my favourite characters (Ryuji and Makoto) are kinda trash, but Yusuke and Haru are both absolute godless monsters.

[peronafanman]

It's nice to see that you warmed up to the game after being bored by it in the Livestream lol.

Me personally am just not in the mood to play another P5 game, especially since I'm not a fan of Tactical RPGs.

[AstuteModding]

I LOVED the combat in this, a 3d battlefield was exactly what p5 needed to not be as repetitive

[alpha]

Between Reload, Vengeance, Metaphor ReFantazio later in the year, and just my massive backlog, I don't know when I'll get to P5T, but it's definitely something I want to check out. It being on Game Pass--or rather, it eventually leaving Game Pass--might be what I need to get around to it.

[timothywashburn]

I'll be finishing P5 and Strikers before considering picking this up. That said, given how much I love tactical games like the classic Fire Emblems... well, I hope I get to it eventually.

6:20 I noticed that about all the Persona 5 titles after the original came out, not just this one. They advertise a new waifu (Kasumi, Hikari, Sophia, Erina) only for the plot to really be about a more interesting character (Maruki, Nagi, Ichinose, Toshiro).

[unrenewable]

I'm kinda glad P5T goes the Q route in being technically canon (I assume) but not in a way that actually matters for continuity. It means I don't have to worry about rushing to play another P5 spinoff in a genre I don't really play and can wait until I finish the other spinoffs I haven't played yet (and other games too of course) without worrying about not being up to date on the P5 story. Though the game seems fun, the semi-canon Persona spinoff formula (if you can call it a formula) is getting a bit dull by now. I'll probably wait until after I finish Reload to give it a shot.

[Jimmylikehalo]

I felt the exact same way "I ended up enjoying it way more than I thought I would"

[krisisgod]

As a person who beat the game and it’s dlc, it’s a solid Valkyria chronicles-like in terms of gameplay with a P5 coat of paint. Story wise it’s meh, very basic for the most part, but it has one or two good moments. I’d probably say it’s a 7.5/10 at most…BUT it has a dlc story mode that’s about 3-4 hours, and it was SURPRISINGLY good for how short it was, which opens my mind to the idea of shorter persona spin-offs or side stories🤔 8/10 from me for the dlc.

[joshuakoa]

I appreciate not having to constantly using Joker in my party. Gives the other characters a chance to shine.

[lewisbaldwin]

I’m mixed on the game, I found the beginning boring in terms of gameplay and story. Then it really picked up in area 2 with follow up attacks then area 3 was a bit dull and then I hated the final area

[onthedre]

I'm buying this just for the art style to be frank

[gamefreakDX]

I pre-ordered P5T because I was really excited for it. I only stopped playing because my Switch started dying and sent it to be fixed. Unfortunately, I feel like everyone disinterested in the game won't play it because they were already disinterested for one reason or another. Besides, Reload exists.

Here, what I noticed about the game and its story by extension, is that it feels like a game that was NOT meant to be a Persona (5) game, but rather a game that was then made to be a P5 game. Various aesthetics seemed to stray from what was traditionally P5. Not to mention that the P5 cast does end up feeling like they're just there. This is the same with the DLC's story.

Speaking of the DLC, I don't like that Akechi and Kasumi are NG+ only. Definitely should've been an extra story after beating the main game at that point.

[bubbletea_]

every quest involving yusuke is stupid. it's always him going "i wanna experience being brainwashed again" or "i wanna know what it's like to fall off a building".
why? .... for art i guess?

[FukuritaMariko]

I feel Persona 5 Tactica should have been the SMT and Fire Emblem crossover game we could’ve got but the timing just wasn’t there 😅
