Persona 5: The Phantom X Gameplay
Persona 5: The Phantom X’s gameplay has a similar formula to its predecessor, incorporating a turn-based battle system that features familiar mechanics such as attacking, summoning Personas, and using One More, Baton Pass, Gun Attacks, and All-out Attacks. However, the system has been simplified, such as Personas only having a max of three Skills each.
Each character in your party has unique weapons, skills, abilities, and Personas. In the Velvet Room, you can summon and fuse new Personas to expand your arsenal.
As a high school student, you live a double life, balancing daily activities like studying, building relationships, and exploring Tokyo's famous locations like Shibuya and Yongen-Jaya, even taking part in activities such as batting and fishing. However, after school, you transform into a Phantom Thief, entering the Metaverse through your phone to fight against Shadows alongside your friends.
The game also features a Gacha pull system, allowing you to acquire new characters outside of your party. These characters are not the actual individuals, but rather their cognitive versions drawn from the Sea of Souls.
One notable departure from Persona 5 is the absence of a traditional calendar system. Instead, players track their days using a special currency called hourglasses, which limits the amount of time you can spend each day. With this system, there are no deadlines for clearing Palace and Metaverse content, and players can take as long as they need.
The Confidant System is replaced by Synergy Links, which are nearly identical to the original concept, only with more ranks (15 to 20) compared to the maximum of 10 ranks.

Persona 5: The Phantom X Story Plot
In Persona 5: The Phantom X, the game takes place in an alternate world set in modern-day Tokyo, sharing the same setting as Persona 5. The story follows Wonder, a silent protagonist and second-year high school student at Kokatsu Academy who is struggling to find direction and purpose in life. His life takes a turn when he meets Ruferu, a talking owl who recruits him and other characters to reform society.
With the ability to wield the power of Persona, a supernatural ability that allows users to summon their true selves to aid in battle against Shadows born from human emotions, Wonder and his group become known as Phantom Thieves of Hearts.
Their mission is to steal the hearts of corrupt adults and reform society by entering the Metaverse, a realm formed from the collective unconscious. Within the Metaverse, they explore Palaces–manifestations of distorted desire- and Mementos– randomly generated dungeons where Shadows roam freely.
Unlike Joker in Persona 5, Wonder has the unique ability to cognitively connect with others who possess the potential to rebel and become Persona users. With the help of his friends and the Velvet Room attendants, Wonder and his team embark on a mission to save Tokyo.
