Persona 5 The Phantom X Fundamentos Explicado
The characters from Persona 5 / Royal are a special case. They are actual Persona users but have an unknown connection to the protagonist's cognition and appear as cognitions.
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.
Like Persona 5, the dungeon crawling portion takes place in the Metaverse, a realm created from subconscious desires that consists of Mementos and Palaces.
Lufel explains that humanity's hopes and desires are being stolen, including Nagisa's. While attempting to leave the Metaverse, the pair are attacked by Shadows, creatures formed from warped desires who attack humans on sight. Nagisa awakens his Persona, Jánošík, and is able to defeat the shadows with Lufel's help, allowing them to return to the real world.
The game’s combat has been simplified a fair bit. For starters, each character’s Persona (or Persona II) have only three skills available. This also applies to the personas the main character acquires. Each party member has two passive skills and Awareness. While One Mores, Baton Passes, Gun Attacks and All-out Attacks all return from the predecessor, they have also been simplified, (with the exception of Gun Attacks). Downing an enemy, rather than allowing a party member to freely act again with any of their available skills, grants the option of either using a single fixed skill—typically (but not always) an attack keyed to their element, or Baton Passing to let an ally do the same.
There are certain side characters that have quests to complete. Beating said side quests unlocks interactions with Daily Life.
When it comes to the overworld, very few things have seen changes. Many of the locations (such as Shibuya and Yongen-Jaya) resemble their original game counterparts and activities (like batting and fishing) are also unchanged. However, there are some new locations to visit, such as Zoshigaya, and some new activities like playing music or soccer. There is also a gachapon (and as of Update 3.0.2 a claw game) the protagonist can play and try to get rewards that can be used to decorate the protagonist’s house.
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.
They also appear within the CrossFate storyline where protagonist is sent backwards in time and enters a strange Monad Door. They are found within a replica of Tartarus.

Most of these targets tend to have their crimes heavily watered down compared to those from the original Persona 5, with crimes mostly arranging from public indecency or financial extortion.
Within the Metaverse, Mementos has been entirely overhauled, no longer being procedurally generated and has set regions. Aside from that, most of the Metaverse in general has seen little changes. Thieves Tool crafting is still present and the Palaces function identically to their Persona 5 Royal iterations. There Persona 5 The Phantom X is a mysterious park within the Metaverse that functions somewhat like the Thieves Den, having the ability to be customized.
Despite this, however, the calendar does appear in the game, albeit superficially and seemingly only used to track the days playing the game.[48] This also means there are no deadlines in this game and the protagonist can take as long as necessary to clear story missions.
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.
The developers describe the content like this: “This game contains depictions of suicide and violence against children in some scenes.”
