Persona 5 Tactica Shares Developer Diary from Producer Atsushi Nomura

Atlus has shared a developer diary from Persona 5 Tactica producer Atsushi Nomura, who discusses his role as a business producer alongside the upcoming title.

He states that the reason for this game being a strategy RPG was to highlight the cast’s teamwork and bonds, which has not been done via this genre before. Previously revealed gameplay elements are then emphasized.

The gameplay in Persona 5 Tactica allows players to take a strategic position during battles. Characters can move around the field and take cover for added defense or take a chance to find an enemy’s weakness to deal extra damage. There are other ways to receive an additional hit that require you to defend and play strategically.

Each character has a variety of skills. Whenever you hit an enemy or get hit by an enemy during battle, the star-shaped Voltage gauge near the bottom right-hand side of the screen will fill up. Once the gauge is fully charged, you can execute a character-specific unique skill. Each character has their own skill tree, which can be reset at any time if you wish to create a different type of party.
