Persona 5 Tactica team explains the game’s unique look

The art direction when it comes to the more chibi-style design reminded many of the PQ series of games. However, Tactica is not a sequel to PQ, and the genre of the game is different.

So, I aimed to create artwork that I felt was the most emblematic of this title. In the seven years since Persona 5 was released, there have been many spin-off projects.

And if we were going to release another new game, we felt it should be challenging both in content and its appearance. I think this was something that the development team as a whole was aware of, not just myself.”
