Is Persona 5 Scramble Actually Just Persona 5-2?

Person 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers may be a more full-fledged sequel to Persona 5 than some people are expecting, and its new Japanese trailer and demo are nearly calling it a Persona 5-2.

This has been common knowledge for a while now. It is basically a sequel with warriors style battle mechanics in palaces. Unfortunately some people are still too short sighted to see past the musou mechanics and refuse to acknowledge it as such.

I don’t know about musou mechanics holding it back from being a sequel

But the developers who work on it say you do not need to play persona 5 to play scramble so this may not be a sequel like everyone say but it’s own game with similar characters from persona 5

You say that, but millions of people seem to enjoy the hell out of Witcher 3 without playing 1, 2, or even reading the books.

You can have a direct sequel without NEEDING to know what happened in the previous game. It is not hard to do nor is it a hard concept to understand. Hell the developers and official site even state it as a sequel themselves on more than one occasion.

No one is expecting it to be a continuation of the same plot in P5, that was already wrapped up. But the next chapter for our characters on a follow up adventure with the same mechanics outside of combat?

There is no more true definition of "direct sequel" than that. I am also sure that there will be many references to the first game as well, but not knowing the first game will not keep you from enjoying the main story.

Yes it’s a sequel. They said it was and if you watch the intro it shows the two next to the title briefly.

Persona 5 Scramble (PS4) Review | VGChartz

VGChartz's Thomas Froehlicher: "Fans of Atlus' legendary JRPG will be thrilled to find in Persona 5 Scramble a true sequel. Even in a very different genre, the Koei Tecmo-developed title extends Persona 5's enjoyment in a remarkable way, and it represents much more than a simple milking of Persona 5's universe. Persona 5 Scramble makes clever use of the 'Warriors' gameplay while maintaining the spirit of the original title at all times, which includes rich mechanics and stellar storytelling. These numerous important, positive qualities fortunately make up for some outdated visuals. Let's just hope Atlus strives to improve on that aspect with its future releases."

Great list but I'm not in any rush to play Genshin Impact. I hear it's going to be gatcha hell game with pretty makeup on.

DarkZane1709d ago

Granblue Fantasy Re:Link ... although I am starting to think this is just never coming out at this point. Also, I would have put Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel IV.

Well done for Atelier Ryza. The best RPG I played in 2019!

Hakuoro1765d ago

Cool, Atelier is one of my favorite series, i'm glad Ryza sold so well.

Koei Tecmo one of my fave studios would love an HD remaster of the Ar Tonelico/Ar Nosurge collection. I would also like a new Dynasty Warriors Gundam game along with an HD remaster of the Dynasty Gundam games and a Blue Reflection 2.
