Here’s What To Expect From the Persona 5 Tactica Cafe Collaboration in the Philippines
/
Sega collaborated with a local cafe in the Philippines called Moon Rabbit Cafe + Restaurant to celebrate the launch of their new game Persona 5 Tactica, another spin-off title that takes the Persona 5 formula to a more strategic turned-based approach. We attended the launch of the event as the cafe was transformed into a perfect Persona 5 hangout spot with special activities.
The special collaboration was officially opened to the public on November 17 and will be around until December 16.
Persona 5 Tactica activities
In the first two days of the event (November 17 and 18), the cafe hosted special Persona 5 Tactica activities for those who showed up at the cafe. If you missed out on the initial days, that’s fine as the special activities will take place every Saturday until the end of the event.
These activities consist of keychain-making activity that allows you to create your preferred team. You can only pair three characters in your special keychain, which fits considering that Persona 5 Tactica only allows up to three members per level.
When I visited, we had a trivia quiz meant to test attendees on their Persona 5 Tactica knowledge. They tested our knowledge of what occurred in the game’s announcement trailer. An unusual list of questions centered on a short trailer, but I was able to answer one, which rewarded me with a Persona 5 Tactica-themed drink.
It’s not clear if they will change the questions up for future trivia sessions beyond trailers as the game already launched last week.
The event also had a stamp rally activity, which required me to try all the activities found in the event. Aside from doing the keychain-making activity, there was a photo booth to take photos with Persona 5 Tactica character backdrops (which gives you a physical copy of the photo taken), and a play area to test the game itself on various platforms. When I visited, each station gave a customer at least 10 minutes to play the starting section of the game on either the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PC, or Switch.
With all those activities done, I was given an exclusive P5T sticker for my efforts in the stamp rally.
Persona 5 Tactica-Themed Menu Items
Activities aside, the cafe features a special menu to coincide with the Persona 5 Tactica theme.
Attendees can try out these character-inspired drinks, which come with limited character coasters, a cup holder, and a straw topper.

The cafe will also feature a Deluxe Meal set which includes one main dish, a side dish, and a drink of your choice. Ordering this special meal set will earn you an exclusive Persona 5 Tactica-themed Rally Towel while stocks last.
This is rare for those in the Philippines, an event transforming an establishment into a hub for fans to not only celebrate Persona 5 Tactica but the Persona 5 series, which is now on its second spin-off title thanks to Tactica.
Persona 5 Tactica is now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
