Such a good game. Between this, Dragon Quest Heroes 2, and Three Hopes, Omega Force have been killing it with these spinoffs. Pokemon and Final Fantasy musous when?
As someone who despises Musou games, this one was pretty decent.
Can't forget that soundtrack either

A Final Fantasy musou is so goddamn obvious that I'm astonished that it hasn't happened yet
I've been looking out for one ever since they announced the first Dragon Quest one!
Always surprised more people haven't played it.
If you want Persona 5-2, it's literally right there. Think the word that "It's a Musou" did damage because it's totally not and is rather just an Action RPG.

It's a great game and a great adaptation of the Persona gameplay into an action RPG. I loved it and I'm really happy with these numbers, more Persona 5 players should give it a chance.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if Persona 6 is an ARGP instead of a turn-based RPG. I know it will not happen because Atlus wants to go with the safest bet. However well done Atlus and Omega-Force for experimenting with this, the output is amazing and I can feel all the love they put in this project.

Bad musou and bad action rpg mechanically to me, meaning I just found the combat a mess either way you look at it, but I appreciate the soft sequel to 5 approach

Cool game - hopefully that team gets to do another one. The series producer made it sound like they wanted to earlier in the year:

Sega Asia have conducted an interview with Persona series producer Kazuhisa Wada about the development process and future of the franchise.

If we get another one, I hope it kinda leans into something more like Persona Arena. Not necessarily that kind of story but it incorporating other Persona's into it rather than just one team.
Haven't played this yet. Still haven't played all through royal yet. I only managed to beat P5 base game when it first came out. I do have royal on switch just sitting here and strikers on PS4. Its just finding time to play them, lol
Yeah, at the very least I wouldn't want it to be another Persona 5 thing. Reviving Devil Summoner (Raido Kuzunoha) would be sick, but I understand Atlus wants to make money lol.
It's good stuff. Loved that reunion.
Strikers is really just a sequel to the base game and is only 40ish hours. Not short , but relative to Royal, it's pretty quick.
I'm glad. It took a while for people to realize what an incredible sequel it is. Hell, a lot of people are still sleeping on it.
But I'm sure its best to beat Royal before starting strikers, yes? I mean it is a sequel I guess.
Awesome game. I really enjoyed it and it's probably the best spin off game they've done. Calling it a musou really feels like a disservice. Not that musou games are bad, but having played Hyrule and FE Warriors I was expecting the typical objective maps and base clearing gameplay and that's really not how it plays at all.
Strikers is in a weird place because it takes place after P5 so you should absolutely finish it first, but none of the story elements or characters exclusive to Royal, notably the third semester, are referenced. Seemingly because of the development timeline. If you're playing Royal and haven't finished the vanilla game before, then yes finish Royal first.
My sole complaint remains it running on Omega Force's awful engine and therefore the P5 aesthetic is ruined by extreme aliasing.
I swear you could run their games at 16K and the image would still have more jaggies than an early field-rendered PS2 game.
I loved it but that's because I enjoyed Persona 5 and I like musous. Your description of it being P5-2 is apt but the musou denial I disagree with strongly.

It most totally is. The same A,B / A,A,B /A,A,A,B / etc. combo structure, the special Musou moves activated after bar buildup, etc. Maps that are just a series of interconnected boxes. The only difference is battles are discreet encounters rather than freeform on the battlefield.

I feel like you're undermining a HUGE part here. Because that change alters the context of what most people typically think of when they hear Musou. I won't deny there's obviously Musou influence in it, but I wouldn't call it a Musou just because of those elements.
Since as a whole, it's going to appeal more to your ARPG fan than any Musou Hardcore who would actually want more of what that genre is typically known for.
There's a night and day difference between Fire Emblem Three Hopes and Persona 5 Strikers for example.
It's a sequel to the base game you already beat.
Royal has additional stuff that's great, but doesn't factor into Strikers.
Potentially. Just when I think musou I think a gameplay style, a feel. You can recognise the technology, the gameplay systems, etc. The presence of large armies in most musou games is actually inconsequential as it's mostly about navigation and 1v1 combat with mini-bosses, which is wholly present in P5S.
But I suppose most would more like just think "1 vs 100s"
Oh okay. I don't remember but does it have a recap of the events of P5 in strikers at all?
I wonder if I could just watch the anime, lol
That's fair and it's probably one of those things that just kinda applies to what you take away from the genre most. Since for me i've definitely played my fair share of Musou's and would still find myself in the latter description of it typically meaning "1 vs 100 and taking over points".
Don't think that means either of us are wrong, more that Strikers definitely makes for an interesting conversation piece when it comes to that genre.
I'll need to revisit next summer. Wasn't a fan of the gameplay but loved the parts of the story that I saw.

I'd have quite liked that for the strategy game.
A Shadow Operatives XCOM-style spinoff with characters from the whole series would be so cool.
I really liked it. Like, above all I really liked the chill summer break with friends vibe.
I'm hoping between the success of this, Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Three Hopes more IPs will feel confident to get the Omega Force treatment. Square Enix have been leaving money on the table for years by not doing a crossover/multiverse game with FF.

But that's the thing, what's fun about Strikers isn't really in those other games. They feel worse to play by comparison. They're limited by the Switch with more stuff going on. Following the Persona 5 structure is what elevates Strikers.
I agree. Between Three Hopes, Age of Calamity, P5 Strikers, and DQ Heroes 2, these Warriors-like crossover games have been really good the past few years.
Don't play Strikers without playing P5 through first lol. And definitely don't watch the anime to be caught up on the story. P5S is awesome, but P5 is the better game and the better story. Finish Royal first and then move to Strikers.
It says something when Persona, the SMT spinoff, is spinning off its own titles that are outselling SMT games.
Can't get into Musous at all but enjoyed this as Persona 5.1. I just wanna spend more time with these characters and a road trip was perfect.
I wanna get back to this one day. Does it run on Deck yet? I know awhile ago it just booted to a black screen.
...will people get mad if I say I liked P5S more than some mainline Persona games? Probably. (though I won't say which!)
Anyway, fantastic result for s spinoff, and a musou game at that. Pretty sure the only musou games that sold more than P5S are the Hyrule Warriors games. Goes to show the strength of Persona and specifically Persona 5 as a brand, and why Atlus/Sega are insistent on still making spinoffs despite people crying on the internet.

It was excellent and I'd love to see a sequel. I was impressed with the story considering Persona spinoffs generally don't excel in that department, and the new characters were great. It really felt like a straight up sequel.
