GOTY 2021 - Persona 5 Strikers !!!

Persona 5 Strikers is the best version of a high school reunion
A genre-bending sequel deserving of the Persona 5 title

Persona 5 Strikers is a perfect way for fans who love the style of Persona but aren’t interested in slow-moving, turn-based JRPGs to jump in and experience these characters.
But it also gives diehard fans a great sequel to something they already love.
Because the combat is good, but the Persona is better.

Persona Related Website Domain ‘P5AG’ Removed,
Others Including ‘P5U’ Renewed

It is unknown what P5AG is or was meant to be (some speculate it was for “Action Game” or “Akechi Goro”), or 13C for that matter (possibly unrelated to Atlus), however it makes sense that the domain names for the rhythm games were abandoned with the existence of the still existing PERSONA-DANCE.JP, which has been renewed for April 30, 2022.
It is notable that P5U (with the Japanese initialism used for the “Arena” fighting game spin-off series for Persona 4, known as P4U) has been renewed, while P5AG has not.

Persona 5 Strikers' Sophia is a Real Game-Changer

Just as Ann feels the urge to "floof" Sophia upon their first meeting, fans may be initially drawn to Sophia for her cute design, vibrant personality, and robotic mannerisms, but they may also initially underestimate her depth as a result.
Like the other Phantom Thieves, her character arc is a microcosm for Persona 5's themes: a story from classic folklore told in modern trappings, where rebellion is the key to personhood as well as autonomy.

Persona 5 Strikers International Box Art Censored In the Best Way

For once when it comes to Atlus game censorship, many see this change is seen as a positive one. In Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal, Ryuji's backstory involves physical abuse at the hands of one of his teachers. Ryuji is also usually the butt of jokes among his friends, and he is often  violence, even if it's treated in a comedic fashion.
Persona fans have commended the localization team on social media for the change to the cover art, and it's being seen as a rare instance of censorship leading to a positive change.

Persona 5 Strikers Director and Producer on Combat, AI, and Adding an Adult to the Mix

Kanada: "As you may be aware, AI technology has progressed in leaps and bounds.
Persona often digs deep into themes about the human heart, and I believe that having AI as part of the story would link it closely to our current lives, as well as attempting something new with that theme."
