Persona 5 Strikers - Review Thread
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
PQ still has mechanics that are exclusive to Persona such as...you know...Personas.
Yeah...and what's stopping them from making that 2/7?
I wasn't sure about it till I played the Japanese demo. Compared to age of calamity, this is hardly musou game other than large groups of enemies nothing else is similar. I was shocked at how great it looks and plays on switch and definitely convinced me a port of P5 would totally be possible.
Unfortunately I never finished P5, and I recently bought P5R so going into Strikers I'd be more up to date but there's no way I'll finish it in time. Anyone know how much of P5 gets spoiled by Strikers?

I'm very impressed with the reviews despite its shortcomings as a full sequel to P5. I'm looking forward to jumping back in with these beloved characters, despite the clear omission of Yoshizawa.
The way I view it is. If I knew nothing about persona, but as a fan of musou games still got this one, would I be disapointed? Answer is , yes. Just like I was very disappointed in Dragon Quest Heroes.
Sure, musou doesn't have to be completely rigid in it's structure, that'd be awful. But there's a limit until it becomes something else. Dragon Quest Heroes pushed beyond that limit to me, and Strikers pushes WAY WAY farther.
It's not a musou despite having similar combat for the same reason GTA V is not a forza style racing game despite having driving mechanics.
According to some of you, Musou might as well be a meaninguless genre. Since apaprently it has no identifiable features. You can literally remove BASICALLY ALL of THEM and it's still somehow musou
This game has no battlefileds
No army vs army
no base capturing
no strategy elements of any kind
no large roster of characters
At this point I don't even know what a musou is to you people.. is it just [][]/\ combos? CUz there are musous without those... are those not musous?
Those are reviews I'd expect for a musou game.
I'll check out in the future, still need to play Royal.

By a chance have you played the Raidou Kuzunoha games? Those are the only action-rpg Megaten, the first title was a bit meh combat-wise but the second was much, much better, but still with many areas to improve. I really hope Strikers be better than those games, because if it's then I should be very excited
Weird characterization in this thread that the review scores are disappointing? They look pretty good to me.
That load time is a massive difference, I assume that is not typical for Switch games?
Well if you played the vanilla version of P5 on console you're all set for this one since Strikers doesn't reference any of the additional content from Royal at all.

If striker ignores all the extra content and its a sequel...
Is there any word on music audio compression on Switch? I can live with 30fps / long load times / compressed voice acting, BUT I cannot live with such an amazing soundtrack being compressed.
More about when they were released and in development than story reasons I imagine
Personally bet on strikers being non Canon before I'd question royal tbh.
This is persona though, so everything is Canon. Even Q is Canon and that is a lot more suspect than strikers with royal.
Strikers never directly contradicts anything in Royal. The problem is that Strikes was made concurrently with Royal.
To be honest there's no line between ARPG and Musous to begin with.
I have totally slept on this casting it off as musou genre I'm not interested in.
Having watched the videos now, oh my do I need this. Didn't know it was a proper p5 sequel and the combat looks ace!

Yes it is, but P5 isn't on PC either and this game is coming to Steam.
The story in all the Persona spin-offs are trash so I wouldn't worry about it too much. That's not what you play them for.
Ugh, I want the Switch version because it's portable and is hooked up to my TV. But the load times appear to be maddening.
PC it is then ...

Persona 4 Arena made no mention of anything that was added to Golden, then Arena Ultimax came out and brought aspects of Golden in with no mention of why they weren't in the first game.
My only theory is they are saving it for some reason. It absolutely must have been pitched at one point and I think it's inevitable (and has the potential to be the best musou of all time)
I'd argue it'd be way easier than a fighting game, too.
I'd love it.
I sorta think the recent success with P5S and Hyrule Warriors (heck, in addition to SE's own Dragon Questing foray) I'd actually be willing to bet they'd make this in the next 5 years.
