Um Imparcial View of Persona 5 The Phantom X
Throughout the game's story, there are multiple characters who have no Persona power of their own but appear in the Metaverse in their Phantom Thief forms and join the battles. These characters are cognitive manifestations created by Merope in accordance with the following conditions:
Atsushi Takayama: Target from Yumi Shiina's Synergy stories. A man who once kept harassing Yumi with unreasonably harsh comments on her dancing performance, which eventually caused her to quit dancing. He finds the bar where Yumi is currently working at and continues his harassment.
[8] The Persona staff provided input on the game's story and setting, and directly presented ideas regarding the characterization of the Phantom Thieves, which were then turned into original characters by Black Wings staff.[citation needed]
There are several changes that have been made to locations in the overworld compared to the original game due to being set in an alternate timeline:
The game begins in a similar vein to how Persona 5 begins, midway through the infiltration at Niijima's Palace. However, when Joker begins to make his escape, a hooded intruder intervenes and attacks him.
Lufel points out to Nagisa a former baseball player, Takeyuki Kiuchi, who intentionally rams into women in the subway as a means of attaining his misogynistic desires, and says that in order to stop him, they must enter Kiuchi's palace (a baseball stadium) within the Metaverse and steal his treasure, an object which is the source of warped desires.
[6] It takes the form of a tunnel submerged in a sea, and it is occupied by Igor and his assistant, Merope. Igor cites Nagisa's knowledge of choice as his reason for bringing him to the Velvet Room. Nagisa wakes up in the classroom.
Student by day, phantom thief by night: unmask the corrupt bigwigs of the real world by seizing their distorted desires from the shadows of the Metaverse.
Many of these characters also serve as confidants and/or have side quests that the protagonist can do.
Much of the gameplay takes direct reference from Persona 5, where the protagonist will live a dual life between spending time in the real world, as well as roaming and fighting in the Metaverse. The game does not follow a calendar system; the protagonist's free time in the Persona 5 The Phantom X city is only limited by a special currency taking the form of hourglasses.

Not to mention moving around on mobile is clunky - I save all palace/mementos exploration for PC where I know the controls are more reliable... I really hope this game doesn't die within a year, but it seems like it will at this rate.
Despite this, however, the calendar does appear in the game, albeit superficially and seemingly only used to track the days playing the game.[48] This also means there are pelo deadlines in this game and the protagonist can take as long as necessary to clear story missions.
The gameplay isn't bad, but it's clear that they've decided to focus on finding more ways to get people to spend rather than creating an enjoyable experience. Especially when we have previous versions to compare to, the global version is way stingier, consistently giving less rewards and increasing prices.
To accommodate the format of a free-to-play game created primarily for mobile devices, Persona 5: The Phantom X adapts the Persona mechanics with various changes.
At Tokyo Game Show, the Japanese version of the game was revealed. There was an in person demo alongside cosplayers and merch much like the previous event. That event also announced that there would be a beta for the game to be revealed at a later date. Gallery[]
