Fans who are literally chomping at the bit for more footage from Atlus musou-likePersona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, might want to pour themselves a drink and settle in with the video below, featuring a staggeringtwo hoursof footage taken directly from the game. The video was streamed this past weekend by Japanese YouTube channelAmari Odorokanai Gacchiman wa Horror Game Bakari Yatteiru.

It’s worth noting that, despite the video’s length, it is surprisingly slim on actual action, and mainly consists of dialogue and cutscenes, as is thePersona 5way. We do get to see a tutorial mission, but mostly it’s just the opening narrative on display here (and in Japanese, naturally). Still, it’s great to see the old gang again, rocking their spiffy new duds and joined by the strangely ethereal newcomer Sophia.
