He noted that this character was likely known as Toshiro, as the mission objective can be seen in the corner of the game’s UI, where it lists not only his name, but asks the player to guide him to the exit. Based on his appearance in the screenshots and key art itself, Toshiro isdressed as a butler, though its ambiguous whether he serves Erina or another character in the game.
The character spotlight trailer itself highlights the abilities of Joker, Morgana, and Erina, where players can only bring three members of the PTs into a battle at a time. It also details their character-specific traits, such asJoker having long-range weapons and Persona skills. Morgana is described as having the ability to sweep enemies off their feet, allowing for easier chances to knock them down and out of cover. Erina on the other hand is best suited for dealing huge amounts of damage, along with targeting multiple enemies with her weapons. She can also put down her flag to shake enemies while healing allies at the same time.
This butler character named Toshiro is likely to be given more details as well, possibly serving Erina or assisting the revolution in ways outside the battlefield. More will likely be explained while the game builds up to its November release, with more character spotlight trailers that showcase otherPhantom Thief memberslike Queen, Panther, and Fox.
Persona 5 Tacticawill launch November 17 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
