Mix of people who aren't fans of musou games and people who got their hopes up for a P5 main game port, despite that never being guaranteed.

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

It's sad when some people (especially on the PC community) goes full hater when they doesn't have ports from certain titles.
I just heard the news from a stranger on the train I sat next to playing a Switch, no lie. Wish I could have been here for 41 pages of this.
I say that as someone who is enjoying the drama even though I was honestly hoping we would get P5 on Switch. But after learning more this month I now feel ok to revisit P5 on PS4 and go for the platinum.
By the way, can we just stop trusting "insiders" who aren't Jason Schrier?

Yeah no thanks, this wasn't the Persona 5 that I wanted on the switch
Happy for those that want this

Yeah... so how is this a bait and switch exactly? Was it Atlus never claiming something to come to switch? Was it them only listing PS4 as a platform for Royal back in December when it was first announced? I perfectly understand people being disappointed, but some of you all are acting like Atlus claimed "Ah yes, Persona 5 is 100% coming to switch!" when there hasn't been anything besides fake insiders claiming that.

Persona 5 has more chances to come to PC than Switch. If Persona 5 is a console exclusive like it seems to be at that point, releasing it on PC would change nothing to the console exclusive status of the title.
Sega ports everything on PC, they value the platform greatly, unlike the Switch which they seem to consider like a platform to sell their 2D/retro collections. They even went out of their way to handle a Catherine PC port themselves. Persona 5 on PC seems like a given, I can even smell they're going to announce it this year. Why should I go full-hate ?
Something else that would make sense is persona q2 coming to the PS4. It'll give people who are actually familiar with the joker character a chance to play through some more of his adventures. Certainly makes more sense than releasing it on an unrelated handheld reaching the end of its life where it has no chance of selling
It wont happen because Atlus is such a travesty of a company, but it'd be nice to see it happen

Unfortunately I've been seeing a lot of that through here as well as a variety of other sites. It's a shame that the game they want isn't going to a platform you play on, but they don't have to act like spoiled brats about it...
Otherwise I'd just like to throw a thought out there. I'm fortunate enough to have both a PS4 and Switch, and I realize that if I only had a Switch I would also be peeved off. But how is it that in this stage of the game there are this many console players who hang around gaming forums yet play games only on a Switch and not a PS4? The common excuse that I hear from Switch only owners is "it's too expensive to also own a PS4," which is fair, but the slim model has consistently dropped to $200 over the years while the Switch consoles barely had any sales since its release. TBQH I felt like my PS4 was the "better buy" in terms of the value I perceived in the games I got to play. Spending the 350 USD for the Switch didn't seem as valuable for the handful of exclusives I played on it.
But then these people go on to beg for ports of things that a $200 PS4 would play like Ace Combat, CoD, Battlefield, Nier Automata, KH3, Sekiro, Dark Souls 2/3, etc... You're telling me you'd be okay with paying the inevitable $60 for ports of these games that very well can be bought for much cheaper prices on PS4, which is the cheaper console to begin with?
Can someone lend me some insight? And this is not directed at those who own both and just prefer portability, as I totally understand that. I just want to understand the perspective of those who complain about not wanting to buy a PS4 because of it's cost, yet still own the more expensive Switch.
I like Nintendo first-party games but usually don't care for Sony first-party. That's all there is to it for me. There's the odd game that skips Switch and hits PS4 that I'd like to play (like P5R and Spider-Man... maybe only those two, actually), but not enough for me to cop $200 plus the price of the game.
I think the game will be fun and be loaded with content (and loads of paid dlc unfortunately). If hyrule warriors is anything to go by there will be TOO much content. Definitely looking forward to this one.
Having not played persona 5, do we expect there to be any p5 spoilers in this game? I'm guessing so, but hopefully nothing too major or I may hold off until I play persona 5

Sega has released some stuff on Switch aside from that like Valkyria 4 and 1, Shinning Resonance Refrain, The Shinning fighting game, Puyo Puyo, Sonic games, the upcoming Olympic Games videogame, etc.
/s, added for you.
Seriously though, you call it the most overrated and boring franchise and then you wish Persona to become more like SMT.
Just play other SMT games, Nocturne has barely a story.
Play SMT If.
People told themselves P5S was Persona 5 for Switch so now they mad it's a musou game instead of a port.
If the soundtrack is notable I'm probably in. At least the spinoffs generally give us a few new quality tracks
A few thoughts:
- Musous are awesome. This game should be great for Persona fans. I have no doubt this will be a blast.
- People gotta stop giving attention to insiders, outside of a select few with good track records. The fact that Persona 5 Switch rumors didn't even start until Joker was announced for Smash should have put up multiple red flags.
- Mainline Persona is never coming to a Nintendo platform. Switch was the best case scenario for this series to make the jump. Sony has no portable successor and all Persona games have received a portable edition. Until now. It's not happening and hopefully people can move on for good regarding this series.... or buy a Sony console, where these games will permanently call home.

I'm not one of the people raging over this (I'm actually interested in Scramble) but a lot of people just prefer a certain platform. For many people who commute or travel frequently, a portable is more viable for gaming. Same for people who share a TV or simply can't find lots of time to sit tethered to a TV.
For people that prefer Switch, any price is going to be too much. Why drop 200 or more on a separate game system when that money could go towards Switch games? Or other life expenses. If someone doesn't want a PS4, any price is gonna be too much.
From my experience I used to own a PS4, I bought it Summer 2015 and sold it Summer 2017. I honestly didn't use it much. Didn't like the hardware or the OS. I have a great gaming PC so the PlayStation became a box for exclusives and nothing else. And there just weren't enough of those. Then I got a Switch, so multiplat are either for Switch for portability or PC for power. Most of Sony's output these days does nothing for me, so I happily sold it. Dragon Quest Builders coming to Switch and Yakuza coming to PC cement my decision to never buy another PlayStation.
Could I afford one? Sure, 200 dollars is not much for me. But I don't want one, so that's were I and other people are at.
Reminder to stay on topic.
Official Staff Communication
Please stay on topic. This is not the thread to discuss or complain about a hypothetical port of Persona 5 on the Nintendo Switch. Thanks!
I get the disappointment now but come on
These warrior games have been great and assuming its 60fps on switch ill buy
If not ps4 it is

Yeah, two thing that never ever happened. /s
Now there's upset people because certain narrative turned out to be false, as usual.
What I don't get is why there's people saying the Persona 5 The Royal announcement was a disappointment too.
User Warned: Ignoring Staff Post
Atlus is so weird with Persona.... There's a version of P5 for PS3 for god's sake. It's not even graphical demanding. But no, no P5 on Switch. And suddenly, bam, new spin off on Switch.
Surprised by the anger this has triggered. Has Atlus said unequivocally that P5 (vanilla, Royal, or otherwise) will NEVER come to Switch? It seems to me that a P5 Switch port announcement would be more suited to E3. Am I way off base thinking people that are so disappointed may get the game announcement they're hoping for in a few months?
Well they probably will have DLC. To add characters that aren't involved in any story they have in the game.
Gauranteed Roster:
Joker
Skull/Ryuji
Panther/Ann
Morgana
Fox/Yusuke
Queen/Makoto
Oracle/Futaba
Noir/Haru
Crow/Akechi
An OC character. KT always has to have one at least
Probable:
Some villain shadows. There needs to be named enemy bosses and such
Caroline and Justine/Lavenza
Possible Inclusions:
Mitsuru
Akihiko
Aigis
And those 3 only because of them being part of an anti-shadow force and have a reason to be around. Though i think Akihiko retired as a main unit for it
Low Chance:
Other P3/P4 characters
Lowest Chance:
P1/P2
DLC
P3 And P4 characters
Kasumi Yoshizawa
And Kasumi I do not know WHEN this game is releasing. If it comes sooner than P5R, I doubt she will be included in the base game. But I can definately see her being a prime DLC inclusion. She is probably a guaranteed inclusion at some point
Maybe they will surprise me. But I don't expect anything beyond the P5 characters and a few small amount of others
Considering the difference in information we got from P5R, probably won't release until mid-late 2020.
You picked 72 as the mediocre number because?
Personally, I don't really like musous but I'll check this one out. I've been meaning to play FE Warriors but I've only played Awakening so I'm afraid I would get spoiled on some titles.
Now that the dust is settling, can I just say I don't like the name "Persona 5 Scramble". Phantom Strikers is fine.
I hope it gets localised as something else. Scramble? Scramble?!
Oh great, said it too many times already, now "Scramble" has lost meaning to me.

The trailer shows it in the Scramble Crossing in Shibuya...perhaps that's what it's a reference to? If that's the case, I think they should keep it.
I think it's fine, it's pretty clearly made out to be a reference to the Shibuya Crossing.
