TGS 2024 Japan Game Awards: Future Games Category Winner! Following the critically-acclaimed Persona series, which has sold over 23.5 million copies globally, Persona5: The Phantom X is set for release!
■Here to steal your twisted heart 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. With a compelling plot, unique characters, and exciting gameplay, everything you've come to know and love from the Persona series is awaiting you in this new adventure!
■Story After awakening from a nightmare, the protagonist is thrust into a changed world drained of hope... And the new faces he encounters are no less strange: an eloquent owl named Lufel, a long-nosed man and a beauty donned in blue.
As he navigates the mysterious realms of the Metaverse and the Velvet Room, and grapples with ruinous visions that threaten his everyday life, he must discover what there is to take from this new world—and all in true Phantom Thief style.

As the other reviews stated, they really want you to spend money. Theres so many rewards that you get but can only use to buy very specific items, and it gets confusing and complicated. The combat is also more complicated than Persona 5 Royal, and it's a bit different from the persona games I've played (P3P, P4G, P5R). You're better off just playing P5R. Despite all of that, I find this game to be pretty fun. I like the character designs, they are very interesting.

I wanted to love this game. However, it suffers from too many of those gacha elements that just bug me. There's way too many currencies to collect or keep track of. There's way too many features or tasks tucked in different corners of the game to collect or check every day. There's way too many game modes that all feel the same. The thing that bugs me most is that the game has only been out for 2 weeks and they're already dropping new characters. It's all about pushing content, it's exhausting.

As enjoyable as this game might be, the experience is completely soured by the changes made for the global release. Overall, the game is employing a number of tactics, such as reduced rewards and short-term pop-up "deals" (that're way too expensive), that pressure players to spend as much as possible. I'd recommend people avoid playing until the devs start managing global similarly to the other versions.
