This marks the epilogue of Motoha's introduction arc and starts the one for the next character: Shun Kano.
Persona 5: The Phantom X is a Gacha game set in an alternate reality of Persona 5. It features an original story and a new set of Phantom Thieves. P5X blends Persona 5's presentation and storytelling style with Gacha mechanics so well, it feels more like a console game than a mobile game.
Comnpared to Persona 5/Royal, the gameplay of The Phantom X is at the same time simplified and expanded. There are way more things to do in this game, and the online aspect makes it almost endless, but that also makes it more repetivive than the original. I give full marks for the presentation and the story progression. It feels like The Phantom X is experimenting with even more ideas compared to Persona 5/Royal... Returning characters look even more stylish!!
Being a Mobile/Gacha game is a double-edged sword, though. P5X has too much going at once. I'm playing Persona 5: The Phantom X on Android device. Every corner of the screen has interactable input os some sort! The menu is full of elements that fight for your attention!! In the first few hours, I used touch input, but it was hard to control movement in dungeons and battles, so I connected a controller, which made the game play better in my opinion.
To celebrate winning against Kiuchi, the party goes to celebrate at a ramen shop. Motoha notices the quality of the ramen has degreded since she last ate there. In the background, they overhear one of their schoolmates talk with the staff. Seems like they know him... Miyazaki, the goumret star also shows up. The man who's clearly going to be our next target!
Oh, Chihaya is in this game! NICE!! This was a much needed forehead!
What do you think?
I hope you enjoyd the video above!
