Persona 5 Tactica difficulty modes explained

by

Persona 5 Tactica features 5 difficultly levels. You can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see what the major differences are between the Safe, Easy, Normal, Hard and Merciless modes.

When you start a new game, you will be presented with the following options:

You can find the description below:

Safe mode allows you to enjoy the story without worry, as you can revive during battle an unlimited amount of times.

Easy

With the Easy difficulty, the encounters should be less stressful; however, you can get a game over screen if you aren’t careful. You can pick this if you want a little challenge but not too much.

You can check out its description below:

Easy mode has less challenging battles for players unsure of their skill.

Normal

Normal mode is for those who want a balance between a riveting story and exciting gameplay.

Hard

With the Hard difficulty, the battles are a little more intense. Not to mention that friendly fire is enabled as your attacks will hurt your party members if you aren’t careful enough. If you want the extra challenge, then you can try out this mode.

You can find its description below:

Hard mode is for the advanced player looking for advanced tactics action.

Merciless

Merciless is the hardest difficulty in P5T. Just like Hard, you will also need to pay extra attention to your attacks as friendly fire is turned on. Choose this mode if you want intense battles where every single move matters.

You can check out the description for this mode below:

Merciless is for those looking for the most punishing experience, where a single lapse of judgment can spell the end.
