In a complete shift from the Western Style town which was Marie’s Kingdom, the Phantom Thieves and Erina wander into a Japanese style Kingdom. Before they could catch their breath, they ran into a woman being attacked. Although they succeed in rescuing her, she is put on a wanted list.
The woman, Yuki, explains that the Kingdom’s ruler is Yoshiki.

In order to fool the eyes of the camera and Yoshiki’s followers, on Yuki’s advice, the Phantom Thieves head to a kimono shop in town.

Battle Tactics and Difficulty
During an allies turn, you can switch which character you are operating with a single button. You can move, and switch characters as much as you like until you perform an action. You can take your time when thinking about who should move first.
Switching characters is the most important action for setting up the Triple Threat all out attack. It allows you to surround more enemies in a wider area.
The games systems benefit characters with the high ground. By using melee attacks against enemies higher up, it is possible to knock them down, and if there are allies next to where they land, a followup attack will activate.
In addition to the normal Musketeer enemy, there are other types, including the Rampart, who can jump and will counterattack when attacked, and the Accompanist who can use buffs and healing.
If an allies’ HP reaches zero during battle, the baton can be passed to friends who are on standby.
There are 5 levels of difficulty, which can be changed at any time
