With the deal at Best Buy going on, I'm thinking about picking up persona 5. I just have one question I'm hoping people can answer.

How does area exploration work?

Basically, if there an overworld (older FF7, 8, 9 style)? Is it area connected to each area (Tales series style)? Or, is it a map with a select area system (hyperdimension neptunia style)?

Also, is the combat real time ATB similar to the FF series, or do you select all of your party's commands at once and everyone just goes in speed order, etc

Thanks, Rich
