Persona 5 Tactica is a brand new spin-off that includes a very completely different expertise (and look) to the principle recreation.
Should you’re getting Persona Q vibes from the artwork type, you are admittedly not alone. In a current concern of Weekly Famitsu, P Studio normal producer Kazuhisa Wada revealed that throughout the testing section of the brand new turn-based technique recreation, the workforce truly utilized “character designs immediately from the Persona Q collection”. Ultimately, the workforce determined to redraw every little thing (by way of Persona Central).
“We determined that adjusting the proportions for the characters particularly for this recreation would make a major distinction, in order you’ll be able to see, we fully redrew every little thing.”
Tactica’s artwork director Hanako Oribe truly touched on this as nicely within the newest concern of Weekly Famitsu, reiterating how the brand new recreation shouldn’t be a sequel to Persona Q or something comparable simply due to the artwork type.
“This isn’t a sequel throughout the Persona Q collection, and the sport style can also be completely different, so we aimed for art work that will be most becoming for this recreation.”
Though Persona 5 Tactica may appear like it has a “chibi type” just like Persona Q, in response to Oribe, the proportions in Tactica have been elevated to put emphasis on “the scale of the palms and ft”, which has resulted in a extra like “comedian book-like” look. The rationale behind this concept is to assist characters stand out extra in battle.
“If we view the battles from an overhead perspective, characters with the same old tall proportions would seem skinny and stick-like. Moreover, it’s difficult to depict dynamic gestures and actions with the proportions from Persona Q.”
So, there you go – though the 2 video games look the identical, Persona 5 Tactica is doing its personal factor, and even makes use of its personal distinctive artwork type. Will probably be launched later this yr for Nintendo Change on seventeenth November 2023.
