This session I finally start Tomoko's Synergy storyline, and I LOVE IT!! Since she lost her Baseball dream because of the first villain, she's going to try multiple things to find another passion in life! So admirable!!

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!! Touch input made it hard to control movement in dungeons and battles, so I connected a controller. Now it plays way better!!

What do you think?
I hope you enjoyd the video above!
