Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers announced (PS4/Switch, Musou, Atlus x Koei Tecmo) (See Staff Post)

I think I'm less salty about it not being a port of P5, since I wasn't really expecting it after the stuff Jason said. I'm much more salty about how it's a Musou game instead of some other kind of spinoff, because Musou games are so bland. They're like water crackers, which are incredibly bland on their own and need something else to make them even somewhat appealing (in the case of Musou games, they need to be paired with an existing license for the sake of fanservice). Would have been much happier if the kind of spinoff they went with was something that would have been actually appealing.
like i said on the other thread, you can forget about the idea of a mainline persona title outside of a sony console
I ignored the overly coy and drawn out marketing campaign for this and was still disappointed
THE BENEFIT IS THAT NINTENDO PUTS A POPULAR CHARACTER FROM A POPULAR IP AND SELLS IT TO PEOPLE
Smash isn't marketing for other games. I'm not sure how some people don't get this. Are you upset at the lack of Castlevania games on Switch too? Was that a bad deal on Nintendo's part?
Don't do this to yourself. It's not happening. There's no real point hoping for a port or convincing yourself there's still a chance, 'cause there ain't. We're still getting SMT5 and give Atlus another two years and it should be ready for release. I'm sure that'll turn out to be a bigger deal than a port of Persona 5 anyway.
I really wish people would get a clue already and stop believing the 'insiders' who claimed S=Switch. The amount of Switch/Nintendo insiders who have had bullshit information is astounding and people fall for it every. single. time. Stop it, there is no reason to believe anything these people say, even if they do get something right every now and then. It doesn't make them insiders it makes them good at guessing/predicting a lot of which is generally obvious in the first place.
It'd be a shame if the roster was limited to just P5 characters. Then again, do I want to spend $4 extra to play as Yu or Kanji? 🤔
Damn, now I just want a Musou that pulls from the entire Persona series. Ultimax Akihiko punching Shadows to death sounds pretty good. Hell, they may even be tempted to throw in Persona 1 and 2 characters.

I don't think that's the sick burn you think it is (this is literally true of everything)
Hoping for characters from all the Persona series.
Also hoping for remixes of all the past Persona songs.
I have the suspicion that the people decrying this are not the people who bought those Warriors games.
A pattern doesn't mean a rule. This has been the case for Smash speculation for over ten years now.
I'm gonna quote you however much I like, thank you very much.
Considering Joker is the only character revealed so far...he is very much selling the pass.
Thats what Nintendo and Atlus gets out of it.
its not that hard of a concept to grasp.
Stop being so simple minded. RPG fans who own switch are going to most interested in Persona 5 coming to that platform. These fans crossover into being smash fans as much as they crossover into being Mario Kart fans or GTA V fans. When you are talking about the biggest selling games of all time you are talking about a huge deomgraphic while still leaving out those who still manage to fall outside of it.
So Nintendo advertizing a Playstation character in its own exclusive for a new PS exlcusive and a Switch musou game? WTF!
Smash definitely marketed Fire Emblem, in fact Corrin in smash was a pure marketing move
It ain't the end of the world either way. I mean, I still hold out hope for TMS on Switch lol. Not that I have any expectation of P5Switch at this point- SMTV is something to look forward too.
Castlevania has a huge history on Nintendo platforms Persona doesn't.
Atlus constantly returning to the Mystery Girl to sell a new product is almost funny in how predictable it is. But mostly it's just tiresome.
OP
OP
yeah no one asked for one of the most popular jrpgs to get a spin-off in an insanely popular genre in japan
smh
I dont get it? You mean how every game has a new girl like marie?
That's where they announced the game and that's the primary audience. Are you saying they just shouldn't put it out here because "nobody" asked for it, or that only the West should be catered to?
IT DOESNT MATTER
They put Atlus's most popular character in Smash. Castlevania and Persona in Smash aren't supposed to advertise new games/ports for Switch.
This is incredibly hard for some people to accept.
