Uma análise de 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:

On his way home from school, Nagisa encounters a talking owl, Lufel. While listening to Lufel, a delivery biker attempts to ram into Nagisa, but Nagisa accidentally brings himself and Lufel to the Metaverse, a supernatural realm representing the unconscious desires of humanity.

As he boards the train, he notices the Metaverse Navigator appear on his phone and the owl from before begins speaking to him. As the protagonist taps the app on his phone, he enters the Metaverse and the owl introduces himself as Lufel. After a scuffle with Shadows, the protagonist awakens his persona and the two fight their way out of Mementos.

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:

Their Personas are named Persona Duos, as they are defined as derivatives of the protagonist's Persona and join the battle along with the protagonist as a duo.

There are two different stories happening around the same time, the main story and CrossFates. The main story entails the protagonist, Lufel and their team of Phantom Thieves exploring the Metaverse for a singular goal, figuring out what is causing everyone to lose their desires.

All-Out Attacks can now be initiated by any party member (except navigators) once every enemy has been downed. A new feature to this game are Highlight which are performed in a similar vein to Showtime, albeit it is performed with only one character rather than two. After charging up a meter, a character can be selected and they will use a Highlight. Some Highlight like Lufel's are stat buffs or health recovery rather than attacks. The protagonist's highlight has different versions depending on which type Persona that he has summoned with during the battle.

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.

While this game has the same social stat system as Persona 5, the stats can be raised to a much higher amount. Similarly, the game has Synergy Links, which function near identically to Persona 5 The Phantom X the Confidant system, only with more ranks, usually ranging from 15 to 20. Despite this, for most of the ranks only ten of them have events. There also are some non confidant characters that have side quests the protagonist can complete to get rewards.

There is also a seperate gacha to obtain weapons for each character. The weapons from the gacha give an specific benefit to the character who equips them. Certain character are variations of another and can’t put two versions of the same character on one team. For example, several characters can't be together in the same team with their own alternate versions such as Mont with her 'Figure Skater' alter version.

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.

In the Japanese demo shown at Tokyo Game Show 2024, the cutscenes were altered to show blood in the protagonist's awakening much like how the awakening in Persona 5 were handled.

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.

As the male silent protagonist (who is named by the player, though he is canonically named Nagisa Kamishiro[d], but also given the codename Wonder) attending the school in modern-day Tokyo, players experience the story events, answer questions in class, and freely explore the city after school or during days off in order to engage in various activities.

The characters from Persona 3 Reload are a special case. They are actual Persona users but have an unknown connection to the protagonist's cognition and appear as cognitions.
