The team finds out the core of Kiuchi's twisted desires. The treasure. Also, how the story of his career-ending injury was made up. Ouch!

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.

The phantom thieves inflitrate more parts of Kiuchi's castle, and find a video that shows his past. They see how he became an arrogant womanizer who got himself into trouble with some journalists who published a hit piece on him. His superiors decided to let him go, and faked a story about an injury so he gets the public's sympathy... Motoha is rightfully mad to hear this. She thought she was at fault for his downfall, and now she knows the injury story she supposedly caused was a lie!!

The party finds the place for Kiuchi's treasure, but since it's not materialized yet, they decided to make the plan another day. In meantime, Motoha visits Tomoko, and gains more reason to make Kiuchi pay!!

What do you think?
