I'm glad its an alternate universe. And that is a GOOD alternate. I was worried joker and his friends where getting replaced or something. But Now we get TWO stories to experience that are both fun and awesome. Also I love your content, you are super funny.
@CrimsonKoenig you mean the game that has been out long enough that it wouldn't be unusual for people to have finished it by now? Also, no. Its a good game, but that doesn't mean we can't want more games too.
Personally I really want to try it, I know it's a gacha game, but I think it can be a game that is more than that, the simple fact of having Persona stuff makes it quite different from conventional gacha games, I hope it will be released globally soon.
I'm a Honkai Star Rail player, so most of the problems you stated are honestly just the standard thing for Gacha game imo.Looks like i can probably really like the game but The only thing holding me back from liking this game is the really jank animation in combat and in general, the effects seems fine and stylish but the animation and camera look really clunky and slow even now in 2025 making it kinda weird considering how most persona game can easily avoid this problem by making the simple and clunky animation hide behind really cool visual effects while this game doesn't do that
I don't really know if it's apple to apple for dev like mihoyo that since the first focus on phone game (with all the console and PC version being ported of mobile version) and PX dev.. well if japan dev handle it I doubted it will as fuild (or whatever that is) as other Dev did since all japanese game tend to be not following the trend, even smt mobile, fate, and other still had 2016-2017ish UI that look old, confusing, and not as simple as other newer dev. At least just skipped it, I'm afraid everything got ruined not because the gacha rate but because all the talk is just about how it's not same as game like star rail
Now i love this take on that game. As another person whose been playing i can agree with things you say content wise many of us are looking for abit more content. Content wise its fairly easy with some struggling parts but not all to many. Your analysis is actually really nice overall too its good to see that people arent just truly ruling the game out. P5X has been one of the few things that stay heavily critical on and praise when needed i just hope others do give it a shot
ATLUS LOCALIZE THE PANTHOM X THIS YEAR AND MY LIFE IS YOURS 🗣️ but seriously, I'm waiting for this game to have a global launch. I hope that they'll also launch with the other palaces released so we don't have to wait too long
P5X is definitely a game I'm looking forward to playing when it gets an english release, but man I cant stand gacha games. Quality content as always, keep it up.
Unironically the game is peak, started playing on TW, but switched to CN cus they get updates early, but the game is super F2P friendly and I love that because I have a bad history with spending on Genshin... I can't really say anything on the story cus I'm to lazy to wait for the text to translate, one grip I have with the game is that the translations when it comes to character skill translations are super confusing, even when I look at the player-made cards they have in the discord, maybe I'm just slow but they can definitely use some better wording because as it stands the wording is really subpar. Anyways the music for this game is fire and I can't praise it enough. Not finished watching the video though, but I can already tell it's peak. 2:10 So essentially, similar to Persona 5 Strikers? 2:50 Yes, Yes I do. 5:07 I know that feeling. 11:35 Real, this game runs bad on my pc? Even though I have pretty good specs. This game unironically works on my phone better than my pc... 14:53 I don't have anyone to play this game with so I never really thought about the online like that, but you're actually right, the online in this game is quite poor :sob: 16:48 I'd say yes, the game has definitely gotten better. 17:26 YES YES PLEASE! Also thanks for the cookie.
As another player who's been playing CN since launch, I think a lot of your points stand. The game definitely shines in some places, but falls flat on others. The story, the main characters, and the music are probably the best part about this game. The battles play like Persona, but simplified. It's especially annoying when it blocks you mid-Palace just because your level isn't high enough. Though as an HSR player, both of those games basically expect you to be grinding before you go ahead with the story. P5X expects you to be at least Level 30 by the time you fight Kiuchi, and Level 60 by the time you fight Miyazawa. And yeah, thinking about it, it's especially noticeable that the P5X Palaces all revolve around a certain gimmick, but were unfortunately monotonous. Heck, the Shadows' movement patterns are largely just walking back and forth, unlike the Shadows in P5 which have a tendency to move back and forth, but occasionally stop for a couple seconds in the middle of it. Speaking of the characters, while the main Phantom Thieves are pretty good and all that, some of the other characters maybe not to the same degree. Heck, some characters still don't have Side Missions or Confidants implemented yet. And I also want to go over the Side Mission NPCs since most of them are pretty uninteresting in my opinion. Seriously, one of them has one of the most generic names for a Japanese man ever. But hey, at least there's a stray cat with a unique portrait. Nyaaa~. Their stories are also just as uninteresting. The only NPC I liked was the American guy, funnily enough. The gacha is something I've started to appreciate a bit more in this regard, especially compared to HSR. Not just the separate weapon gacha currency, but the fact that you can select how the pity functions. That's not anything I've ever seen in any gacha game other than P5X. Even gachas that can be considered "generous" in comparison don't do this at all. It's quite the break from solely being stuck on a 50/50 system (which P5X also has), a recruitment point system, or even a more merciless gacha whose pity may as well be nonexistent. I mean, it's still a gacha, so take of it what you will. Though, I kind of wish they started introducing 4-stars again, though I have no doubt they'll probably show up again some time. Though, one thing I can appreciate is that leveling up characters is actually a bit easier to do compared to HSR. Basically, every character requires the same amount of ascension materials regardless of their rarity. In HSR, you generally need two specific materials, one which corresponds to their element (and also corresponds to when they came out, funnily enough), with requiring more for 5-stars, so for me, it's a bit similar to how FGO handles ascension materials, where more is required the higher the rarity of that Servant is. Just small things I tend to notice. And speaking of leveling, there are some things you didn't really mention, like how inheriting skills for Personas is a chore. The game incentivizes you to fuse Personas a lot to get Persona coins (or something like that) to use for skill inheritance, but what skill you get is very much random, and you only know what you get once you go through with the skill inheritance. They've recently implemented skill cards, but I haven't used those yet. The Revelation cards are another matter (they're essentially identical to HSR's Relics), but my gripe is that I can't like convert the cards I don't want to EXP material. The only way to get them is to grind for more cards. And speaking of bugs, it's quite buggy. A lot of the bugs for whatever reason got worse on a controller for the first few months because it would even softlock if I do something funny, so I ended up doing things with my keyboard and mouse. Luckily, it seems to have gotten better though. However, the game would often switch from controller input to keyboard/mouse input even though I inputted nothing from either of those devices. And even if I played in fullscreen (not borderless window), the game would sometimes disappear for a split second and show my taskbar and other open windows. Heck, on borderless window, it would just be an enlarged standard window. Though, if you play P5X in windowed mode, this problem doesn't arise. This is coming from my experience, and I don't think I've ever had the game crash like you mentioned. The JP closed beta seems quite polished in comparison, though. Honestly, in spite whatever criticisms we have, I still think the game has a good amount of merit to it. Can't wait until it comes globally. And frankly, better sooner than later, even as much as many others want P6 to be announced, even though announcing P6 would overshadow P5X by a long shot. Honestly, I don't think Global can come soon enough, even if the western reception of the game may come off as divisive due to what it fundamentally is. That and P5 fatigue.
Agree about the levels for bosses. The 2nd palace has a huge level jump and by the third palace you’re already at max level. Its super weird. At least they recently let you retry bosses if you lose at a lowered difficulty
Imagine if it literally never launches globally, then shuts down, forcing fans to essencially handle it for them with a fanserver. I would straight up not be surprised because the preservation and documentation of media already forces gamers to bleed time and money constantly.
Well SMT Imagine existed then reimagine existed got shut down as it was a fan server and now they are rebooting another fan server for it if you want an an smt expirience (seems to have a simular engine as digimon masters online) You can fuse whit your demons (altho i never found the quest to unlock it) and use em like a persona sorta if that is what you want. Just be warned multi fusions are a big pain to unlock requiring multiple quests in order to solo fuse em, thats right you heard me correctly multi fusion (you know the special fusions whit more then 2 demons) can be done by saccing a demon from another player if they feel like it as they get nothing but some macca in return and whitout the quest this is the only way to do it. I mean reimagine was very fun until it got a C&D order. But just you know there does exist something like this out there and if you would consider fusing whit your demon (again never had acces to it but i have seen videos of it) persona like enough then try one of the fan servers.
@@theshadowx From what i heard it is not the most stable but that was like almost a year ago i am sure it is stable by now, i kinda lost too much progress soo yeah i kinda lost the mood
Nah there already people complain about PX not as fuild as hsr. Well if it's ever released on global there is gonna be a lot of people saying it's bad game just because it's not using same fuild motion and effect as hsr. Well hsr at first also got lot of hate especially from genshin player that saying turn based is boring blabla, so yeah be prepare to got lot of 'complain' video on yt about this game
@@KuroShiroo im just speaking from expirience playing p5x,the games was alot generous with reward, also it's just felt like og p5 but with gacha injection and most of the time i would do non dungeon gameplay just enjoying shibuya (doing part time work,lv bonding with other characters and npc or fishing) just like in og p5 😅🙏
"They don't let you replay the dungeons!" Uh, this was the same thing in Persona 5 - once you fight a boss, that palace is deleted and you can't go back to it. The way you grind is through a Tartarus-style dungeon called Mementos. I'm sure Mementos will return in the Phantom X for grinding if they port it to consoles.
@@YandereGogeta But you can repaly the dungeons,it has a feature to let you paly it,The feature is called "Rooms of Past Cognitions," which allows you to continue exploring a collapsed palace, but you can no longer experience the story parts.
I'm gonna be honest I don't really care fore Persona/SMT combat. I just play them for the story. I would be interested in this game that but I do not play games that are known to be predatory. Hopefully if it ever gets a western release it can be modified to just be a game you play and are done with. Maybe I'll just have to watch a full run on youtube or something.
I don't doubt the gacha aspects might be frustrating for someone who isn't used to them, but if a gacha game is done well you won't need to engage much in those features and will just be complementary to everything else. People not used to Gachas will make up their own FOMO thinking they need every new shiny character because the meta game and various challenges will be catered towards that specific gimmick or attribute the newest unit has. It's the main point of "bait" in every gacha and you have to learn to adapt to it if you're not beyond rich and can afford it all. Now, I haven't played this one and region locking a game is always a weird move especially if global doesn't release in the same current state and it's a "fresh start", but if the story and base aspect of the battle system are as good as you make them, the gacha aspect won't be an issue. The only thing that would deter me from playing a heavily monetized game that happens to have both good story and gameplay is when they shove the monetization aspect down your throat at every possible occasion: constant reminders of the new "gem pack" or whatever, locking quality of life and ease of access behind monthly subscriptions, actually making FOMO characters that powercreep the hell out of current ones making them absolutely necessary to progress. If it doesn't have any of those extreme points and is polished enough, I will definitely enjoy it.
Motoha Arai is probably my favorite character design I've seen in any Atlus related game. Want to play this game just for her. lmao I don't know if that design specifically was Shigenori Soejima, but if this is even vaguely what we can expect for the next Persona I can't wait. They really cooking with the designs. BTW this was the first video I've seen of yours. Good stuff. I'll be sure to check out some more. Never enough P4 content to consume since it's the greatest game of all time.
I mean this in the best way possible, your accent gets so much more apparent when you get annoyed during the bugs/unpolished section lol Thanks for the review! I was curious about the game and your video really helped while being entertaining
I had written..when they received emails Several suggestions Make the main characters use more weapons Two attributes what happened The legendary tricksters Rob the enemies in the infiltration of the keys to proceed or stun them and bring them in front of terminals and use retina or biometrics to access them See who joins the team..in addition to Aran the short-haired girl.. I was thinking of a strong event linked to the final part of Royal and the real Kasumi in the world X Put a few more male characters and a few male summons
Japan region pre regist been open (I don't know it's either for beta or full released) but the date still on tbd so it's probably would take longer time for the global ones
I hope this game becomes popular so other companies also change their gacha systems, I'm tired of losing 50/50's I'd rather pull extra 20/30 times than 70 to get the new unit (I'M TALKING TO YOU HOYOVERSE)
nah bro, the 1M bosses/bullet proof ennemis its litteraly honkay star rail you don't have the caracters/equipement, its game over, you will never advance
From what he said it seems pretty f2p friendly, not all gatcha games are always after your wallet. I play three different gacha games currently and haven't spent a single dollar despite finishing all current content in each of them. If the game itself is fun then that's all that really matters
Okay the game itself is pretty decent for the story as for the online features well i do agree it need a lot of work, i know that it is a mobile game and it is still in the works but i think once the developers work out every little issues i am sure they will start adding it on other platforms.
As a sorta week 1 player in the Taiwan server, and a f2p player, just expect yourself to go into this as a gacha game first so you can lower down the expectation of going through the game. It's heavily based on Honkai Star Rail's battle system too, but this game seriously has some of the toughest stages (with puzzles in them too), so you are heavily required to read so you don't get killed on the spot and use the proper strategy. Perhaps I am used to gacha stuff, but as long as you saved up, you can get your character desired. I hope there is a lot less of HP inflation, because HSR sucked at that. 1:42 Actually no, you CAN replay the dungeon in P5X if you beat the Palace Ruler, but you can't redo them from scratch per say. Especially in the 3rd Palace, the game forced you to not get sidetracked, so you can go back and do the remaining dungeon after beating the final boss for the Palace. You might not notice it, but it's in a small circle besides the currently available Palace. The main story of P5X is very good, but the beginning could be very rough (you can only understand why the 1st dude is lust themed when you actually heard of these weird men who actually knock into people in Japan subway). Dunno if you ever heard of it, but there is a meme of a character in P5X where this character has a very bad story writing (most P5X players will notice it once you went through their confidant), and I kinda like this weird character. But after the 1st Palace, you will get into P5X for real this time. I found some of the Persona 5 antagonists are kinda... cliche, so seeing the 2nd and 3rd boss makes me wish to punch them in the face. I really liked the main cast and some of their side characters a lot too. It makes you think "wow, why didn't P5/P5R have thought of this" and such. The P5X side quests can range from very interesting or mundane, but some of them are very P5X themed. That 3rd arc? Chef's kiss. Summer and LNY events are kinda mundance, but I kinda like how they tried to connect different characters who don't or rarely interact into one event. As for the collab? It's kinda boring? I'm saying this as a Persona 5 fan, but it seems like I cared about the on-going plot of P5X and the subtle hints of the reason why Wonder's crew was trapped in the collab world. Ren feels weirdly extra, since he tends to be MIA in the story or useless in the stages you are in. Tho, it is worth noting that surprisingly Ryuji somehow feels a lot smarter in the collab where he has to be the dad of the crew and babysit Morgana with Ann's help. Ryuji is the only one that felt so OOC since his personality is somewhat more akin to Strikers and the most logical among all the P5 crew by keeping a very cool headed personality, but it's weirdly refreshing? Lmao As for confidants, man, it could be a chore unless you decide to pace them out or prioritise them in the menu (which is a great improvement). It takes a long time because it is a live-service game, so people who aren't used to this concept will find it a drag. At least they have improved a lot now since back then, it took a much longer time to grind money in the real world and buy the necessary gifts for them. There are like 2 social links I really don't like, without spoiling too much. Dungeon and puzzles in this game can be both fun and a chore to go through, but the main reason for that is because it's... HUGE. It can take days to even complete the whole dungeon. Tho there are bugs with graphics occasionally, but they aren't a deal breaker for me. The 3rd arc is weirdly my favourite dungeon, because it fits the personality of the Palace Ruler so well with thought-provoking OSTs, even if it's way too big that it feels nothing like a mobile game anymore lmao The only thing most won't talk about is the dub (and I know most won't care since they all played in JP dub lol), but it's very dependant on which dub you stick with first. While the Korean version only has the Japanese dub, the CH and TW server have a Mandarin dub. For being my first completely Mandarin dub experience, the Mandarin dub could be a hit or miss for a few characters (some are actually better than JP, especially Yaoling, fight me lol), but surprisingly the characters may have a different vibe between the dubs. Motoha, Miyu and Shun are some of them I can list off from the top of my head atm. Tho the sound design in this game could do some work, especially on the Mandarin dub side. Sometimes the environmental SFX and background music being way too loud compared to the voicelines even after lowering them, and sometimes the sound designers and voice director have this weird fascination to lower down the volume of the voicelines whenever one was yelling. This isn't just a P5X problem since P5T also has this problem, but it can be real distracting. Tho can I say? The promotional videos in Persona 5 X are phenomenal. The animation there are just eye candy and not too flashy. It gives me a lot of awe while watching the smooth as butter and expressive animation that the studio can just make a P5X animation just with its studio 3D engine.
Arcs. Multiple many years running gacha have had multiple stories told in the confines of the gacha. Honkai Impact 3rd entirely finished it's story with it's original cast of characters and is now telling an entirely new story. FGO is up to it's fourth main plot with ordeal call in JP. But even then... whilst yes gacha games are live service and as such designed to continue for as long as it can in multiple regards, they are still finite. It's really still down to the devs when it ends, like Nier Reincarnation, which could have kept going as it was making enough money to do so. Yoko Taro was satisfied with where it was left off with it's last major arc and so... it ended. Or tldr... we'll know when it ends, when it ends.
I personally can't play this game in good faith since it bastardizes the whole concept of P5 into some gimmick. Not to be pretentious but the reason so many connected with the original P5 is because every single aspect (character/phantom theif design, environment design, GUI, music, narative, etc...) blended together to create an inspiring and, for me, lifechanging story. Every single element in the game was harmonious in its design and created a never before seen experience. P5X throws all integrity out the window for cash. Awesome video, though!
I have played P5X for a long time and have spent LOTS of hours on it. And what can I say. I agree with almost all your points, BW has done both great and bad things and it seems they are trying to get better. Something I would like to include, is that they do listen to the community(even more with the chinese one) and they are trying to give most characters, some appearances in the events so they do not become that forgettable(RIP Haruna, Yukimi and Sepia tho). Another thing is that I think they are doing some good confidants(Yaoling, Riko, Kotone, Masaki, Kira etc are some examples) but theres obviously some improvement. On the terms of gameplay, i must admit that it is sometimes paniful as fuck, the heart trail being the most boring shit ever and Astrolab depending on how much characters you have. The farming is also relatively easy and fast(unlike some popular gacha game which starts with the letter G..) and you dont suffer much from it. The weapon banner could also have some improvement, but i think you could have included the fact that its cheaper(something most gachas dont) and its a bit of improvement to the least. I think the story is also pretty great, the only palace I didnt like being the 1st one, but Miyazawas and Katayama/that dude palaces are way better than their counterparts and if they go on like this, i think they can make a better story than most personas or atleast, at a similar level.
I heard that the first palace was heavily inspired by kamoshidas palace and the fans didnt like that. As they were near identical atlus decided that they would help out and create more unique palaces for the game
I actually used to play this but had to quit cause the game took way too much storage on mobile in particular it honestly is one of the best gachas out there even with negatives it has going on for it
Pleeaaase bro. I would love for you to talk about this game's story. I play this game a lot. Definitely an endgame player but the timed events kinda get in the way of me tryna take my time and enjoy the story of the game. If you say its just as good, I really wanna know more. I'm down to see those videos.
Why couldnt they just release it already theres no fucking way that they're gonna release it when the story is already done its only in the 3rd palace yet
My main question is - does the game have solid playerbase and revenue, because without it, it'll get shutdown shortly after worldwide release. And there is nothing more depressing than playing in dying gacha or knowing that soon enough the game will be on the chopping block.
I really wish that we get p5x before p6 so the game can have it's chance globally before p6 comes and take all the hype I don't mind it being a gacha game at all I had an experience with this types of games and I know that I will never play it forever and will just stop when I get bored of it Also I know the music is going to be fire for sure
@@MNTAlter i haven't played Persona 2 even though i'm very interested in it because it's not very accessible nowadays. Do you have some recommendations on how do it? Emulation and whatnot.
@@multiforme_ingegno PSP version will be the most accessible nowadays, the PPSSPP emulator on Android and iOS will set you in no time, you can have the whole game running in a matter of minutes, that and you can have the game with you everywhere. DDS is also a very good choice if you ever had time for it, it features similar system that later was reimplemented in Metaphor with unique cast and quite interesting story
Not every gacha game is just about gambling with predatory monetization, there are gacha games that gives you tons of freebies with good gacha rate. some game even implemented skill based combat so your skills as a player are more matter to complete challenge rather than meta character overdependent game that required you to pull for the new meta to be able to keep up with the game challenges, which means you don't really need to spend a single cent to enjoy the game and can still clearing any content by still being a completely f2p.
Guess I'm not a normal human then. If you have to claim its 'unplayable', then you immediately lose validity because that's objectively bullshit for many gacha games out there.
Just make persona 6.....they are milking persona 5 popularity to further the arc. I mean of course it is fine since i love persona 5 but it is getting too confusing and too many characters.
i dunnnooooo. i feel like if people get too hyped for this are going to be sorely disappointed. its actually not even made by anyone whos worked on persona ever. its being made by a company called black wings, who have literally never made a game before. Atlus is involved but only in a supervision role and thats even if we get a worldwide release. they say theyre planning on one but to say that a year ago and then literally radio silence. i kinda doubt its going to happen, i have a feeling it already fell off in china. you cant even find any stats for it like how many players or most players and only data you can find is twitch viewership of the game, which is like 7 people in the last week, only a peak of 4k people ever. my advice, just wait for P6 and dont even bother worrying about this game. im not tryna be a downer but i reaaaally feel the rose tinted glasses you're wearing when you talk about this game, i get it man. i LOVE persona too. if you can TRULY say this game to you makes you feel that persona magic then ill trust ya on that.
i'll quickly say this the crashing might be due to the English AI patch as i tested it out without it for a bit and had no crash but it could be me just getting lucky cos the crashing i did get was sometimes only 10 mins playing while other days i can play for 3 hours and it's perfectly fine so it is random
Ok, my two biggest points for disliking it conceptually as someone who hasn't played P5X is that A) the new phantom thief outfits look gaudy and out of place, especially when put side by side with the sleek elegant designs of the original phantom thieves. You can really tell they were designed by people who work on gacha games and not people who work on actual video games. B) Persona 5 is a game fundamentally about rebellion, so making a version of that game meant to appeal to a Chinese audience, therefore complying with all the Chinese censors and bullshit so that they don't piss off their dictator, and then making that version into one of the scummiest types of games possible, doesn't sit well with me.
I'm pretty sure it'll get a lot better over time. That's the case with a lot of gacha games. Bleach brave souls for example, compare that between then and now. It's only been a year and not even out globally, so I'm pretty sure we'll get a lot of improvements once it's actually fully out
Man, pretty much hit the nail on the head of why despite wanting to be interested I just cannot. By consequence of being a gacha live service, the game will be distributed piecemeal to ensure maximum retention. A story with no end, and no reason to grant an end to a journey because doing so means you'll lose player retention. So regardless of how good the story might be, unless you stick around, you'll never see its conclusion. The carrot on a stick design philosophy is so damn insulting to people's time and investment.
Even tho it a gacha the key thing and most important is how generous are the rewards and how is the power creep, can you beat everything with start characters? Or do you NEED new ones
With the way this game is structured you CAN beat almost everything with starter stuff, but when it comes to some of the events you won't be able to get everything in the events done. Like for the story you should be good to go, but for let's say the Summer event you definitely wouldn't be able to get the final levels done. On the plus side this is the most generous gacha game I've ever played. As long as you do the events and get mostly everything done you can get most of the characters without spending at all, unless you're like me and have the worst luck ever
I'm still pretty in the dark about the game besides this video (on purpose, global release please) but I love the theory that this could be taking place in p5's bad ending
if my comment will help anyone atm, the game is generous af to a point, i almost have every limited character of every element in a span of 4 months playing it, AS A F2P. to top it off? along with their designated weapons. u will need 1500 for 10 pulls for character banners. for weapon u only need 1000 for 10 pulls. the gacha even have a confirm banner system (the traditional are the standard 50/50 banner) where u need 110 pulls to confirm but if youre lucky enough, u GUARANTEE to get the character u pulling no matter what. Ive been lucky a lot here and confirm my character as early as 20 pulls in. more than that, they added a counter for every 165 pulls, you can get a random standard character. I can be happy if I get anything atp. the standard characters are decent and usable in every way possible. they give u a lot of standard pulls and u can even horde it or do whatever u want in case theyre adding character into standard banner (and they obviously did and some of the chars theyve added so far is a good addition) in all honesty I am going to play it when it comes to global as well. I cant wait to just play and enjoy the game along with it story and yes the game can be played auto if u are lazy gamer like me. every content so far Ive autoed and still gets me all the rewards. hope it helps anyone who still are considering the game when it releases globally.
Yeah sure blud, never mention how fast they listen and optimize some of the gameplay experiences. Never mention about how generous they are with the freebies. Never mention how despite having the 50/50, their gacha system and microtrasction is much more cost-efficient than 99% of gacha games out there. No no, no need to, just focus on all the negative factors. That’ll help the franchise getting a great reputation.👍
Tbh nothing you said about the gacha side of the game seemed that bad, as long as all the game content is clearable with "free" characters you wont need to pull at all
🤔I really like the persona series, it's a really fun series, but I'll probably just watch video on the story, because yes the characters look awesome and the blond girl just remind me of a girl version ryuji, but I'm not liking the part that it's a gacha game, gacha hame like this mean your lock behind updates to progress through the story, and if you want the characters to be really good you need to buy their full equipment for them to be fully good, do yeah probably won't play it, but good coverage over the game.
I love the fact that when Atlus give the right to develop the game to Chinese studio, they killed the original protagonist, Joker and then make a Chinese the protagonist. Tells me a lot from that. 😂
The fact that it's a gacha game got me to ignore the game's existence completely, I don't look forward to playing it :( Edit: guess I'm gonna have to wait for persoan 6 which is definitely coming soon :D
Welcome to the channel! There’s a native launcher for the game on PC, and there’s a mod for it that auto translates the game. I don’t remember what the invite link for the discord for where to get it is, but it’s called P5X Worldwide iirc
I am a simple man, I see Chord/Ayaka Sakai I click the video Joking aside, I’d say this is a pretty great review for P5X. Your style has made me have a few good laughs here and there. Tho I have to say the game has it’s problems here and there but I trust the devs and they would definitely continue to listen to the community and improve (I better see the new format for the new weapon banner) Lackluster events? ~~Nobody tell YandereGogeta about the leaks for P5X~~ Overall? Really enjoyed this video! I hope you do continue to make more P5X videos
It's dogshit purely on the fact of being a mobile gacha game. If Atlus had braincells, they would've made p5x a console game in the same vein of p2: eternal punishment, and just released new content as expansions you pay for like the old days of ps3/xbox 360. Really is hilarious how quickly it dropped off the face of the planet once ppl found out what it is.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the constant crashes caused by the translator mod? I have no proper proof for this but for some reason, when I have the translator mod on, it takes a while when you start to load the game and go into the title menu, as compared to not having the translator mod where it briefly loads the game without having to wait. I haven't tried playing the game without a translator (i only remove the translator when there I have to update) therefore I do not have a consensus on the cause of crashes
You mentioned Kasumi sucks without her weapon. You should try going to Iwai to buy a 4-5 star weapon instead since those work too and you can skip the weapon banners
I had play worse gachas. Your points are good but they are common complains in most gachas too. Emulators sometimes dont like some mobile games too. Thats why native launchers are better and hopefully they do make one once global hits. Banners pity? Yeah i hate the 50/50 genshing thing too but seens they at least back down from that one so theres that. Im mostly worry about the confidants system. Hopefully they Will upgrate it later on too.
Dumb take. Plenty of gacha games are very focused on the gameplay aspect, and sometimes are easily playable without spending any money at all. There are plenty of gacha games where you don't need to whale to get the things you want.
I recommend either the Taiwan or Korea server. The Chinese one is ahead in updates but it’s kind of a pain to get set up. If you wanna use the translator mod the Korean version has the first palace fully translated, but I believe the Taiwan version might be slightly ahead in updates by a few days or so
I'm glad its an alternate universe. And that is a GOOD alternate. I was worried joker and his friends where getting replaced or something. But Now we get TWO stories to experience that are both fun and awesome.
Also I love your content, you are super funny.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Making this game an alternate universe was definitely the best case scenario

@Lost_S Dude we have 100hrs+ new game Metaphor. Isn't it enough for you?
@CrimsonKoenig you mean the game that has been out long enough that it wouldn't be unusual for people to have finished it by now? Also, no. Its a good game, but that doesn't mean we can't want more games too.
Personally I really want to try it, I know it's a gacha game, but I think it can be a game that is more than that, the simple fact of having Persona stuff makes it quite different from conventional gacha games, I hope it will be released globally soon.
I'm a Honkai Star Rail player, so most of the problems you stated are honestly just the standard thing for Gacha game imo.Looks like i can probably really like the game but The only thing holding me back from liking this game is the really jank animation in combat and in general, the effects seems fine and stylish but the animation and camera look really clunky and slow even now in 2025 making it kinda weird considering how most persona game can easily avoid this problem by making the simple and clunky animation hide behind really cool visual effects while this game doesn't do that
I hope this game doesn't suffer for the powercreep and big HP inflation that HSR has
I don't really know if it's apple to apple for dev like mihoyo that since the first focus on phone game (with all the console and PC version being ported of mobile version) and PX dev.. well if japan dev handle it I doubted it will as fuild (or whatever that is) as other Dev did since all japanese game tend to be not following the trend, even smt mobile, fate, and other still had 2016-2017ish UI that look old, confusing, and not as simple as other newer dev.
At least just skipped it, I'm afraid everything got ruined not because the gacha rate but because all the talk is just about how it's not same as game like star rail
Love HSR! The oenacont and specifically the golden hour area was just soooooo fkn good! What a fantastic area, it’s gunna be hard for them to top that
Now i love this take on that game. As another person whose been playing i can agree with things you say content wise many of us are looking for abit more content. Content wise its fairly easy with some struggling parts but not all to many. Your analysis is actually really nice overall too its good to see that people arent just truly ruling the game out. P5X has been one of the few things that stay heavily critical on and praise when needed i just hope others do give it a shot
also game crashes are from the translator i took the translator out of the game and it was fine for weeks though bugs wise yeah they gotta fix that
I can understand and agree with most of the points in this video, BUT don’t forget the music. P5X has been putting out some absolute bangers.
Persona music being a banger is a given atp 🙏🏻
Gone With The Storm is 🔥🔥

but seriously, I'm waiting for this game to have a global launch. I hope that they'll also launch with the other palaces released so we don't have to wait too long
I'd only play it if it isn't a gacha game.
P5X is definitely a game I'm looking forward to playing when it gets an english release, but man I cant stand gacha games.
Quality content as always, keep it up.
Thank you so much I’ll continue doing my best!
Unironically the game is peak, started playing on TW, but switched to CN cus they get updates early, but the game is super F2P friendly and I love that because I have a bad history with spending on Genshin... I can't really say anything on the story cus I'm to lazy to wait for the text to translate, one grip I have with the game is that the translations when it comes to character skill translations are super confusing, even when I look at the player-made cards they have in the discord, maybe I'm just slow but they can definitely use some better wording because as it stands the wording is really subpar. Anyways the music for this game is fire and I can't praise it enough. Not finished watching the video though, but I can already tell it's peak.
2:10 So essentially, similar to Persona 5 Strikers?
2:50 Yes, Yes I do.
5:07 I know that feeling.
11:35 Real, this game runs bad on my pc? Even though I have pretty good specs. This game unironically works on my phone better than my pc...
14:53 I don't have anyone to play this game with so I never really thought about the online like that, but you're actually right, the online in this game is quite poor :sob:
16:48 I'd say yes, the game has definitely gotten better.
17:26 YES YES PLEASE!
Also thanks for the cookie.
As another player who's been playing CN since launch, I think a lot of your points stand. The game definitely shines in some places, but falls flat on others. The story, the main characters, and the music are probably the best part about this game. The battles play like Persona, but simplified. It's especially annoying when it blocks you mid-Palace just because your level isn't high enough. Though as an HSR player, both of those games basically expect you to be grinding before you go ahead with the story. P5X expects you to be at least Level 30 by the time you fight Kiuchi, and Level 60 by the time you fight Miyazawa. And yeah, thinking about it, it's especially noticeable that the P5X Palaces all revolve around a certain gimmick, but were unfortunately monotonous. Heck, the Shadows' movement patterns are largely just walking back and forth, unlike the Shadows in P5 which have a tendency to move back and forth, but occasionally stop for a couple seconds in the middle of it.
Speaking of the characters, while the main Phantom Thieves are pretty good and all that, some of the other characters maybe not to the same degree. Heck, some characters still don't have Side Missions or Confidants implemented yet. And I also want to go over the Side Mission NPCs since most of them are pretty uninteresting in my opinion. Seriously, one of them has one of the most generic names for a Japanese man ever. But hey, at least there's a stray cat with a unique portrait. Nyaaa~. Their stories are also just as uninteresting. The only NPC I liked was the American guy, funnily enough.
The gacha is something I've started to appreciate a bit more in this regard, especially compared to HSR. Not just the separate weapon gacha currency, but the fact that you can select how the pity functions. That's not anything I've ever seen in any gacha game other than P5X. Even gachas that can be considered "generous" in comparison don't do this at all. It's quite the break from solely being stuck on a 50/50 system (which P5X also has), a recruitment point system, or even a more merciless gacha whose pity may as well be nonexistent. I mean, it's still a gacha, so take of it what you will. Though, I kind of wish they started introducing 4-stars again, though I have no doubt they'll probably show up again some time.
Though, one thing I can appreciate is that leveling up characters is actually a bit easier to do compared to HSR. Basically, every character requires the same amount of ascension materials regardless of their rarity. In HSR, you generally need two specific materials, one which corresponds to their element (and also corresponds to when they came out, funnily enough), with requiring more for 5-stars, so for me, it's a bit similar to how FGO handles ascension materials, where more is required the higher the rarity of that Servant is. Just small things I tend to notice. And speaking of leveling, there are some things you didn't really mention, like how inheriting skills for Personas is a chore. The game incentivizes you to fuse Personas a lot to get Persona coins (or something like that) to use for skill inheritance, but what skill you get is very much random, and you only know what you get once you go through with the skill inheritance. They've recently implemented skill cards, but I haven't used those yet.
The Revelation cards are another matter (they're essentially identical to HSR's Relics), but my gripe is that I can't like convert the cards I don't want to EXP material. The only way to get them is to grind for more cards.
And speaking of bugs, it's quite buggy. A lot of the bugs for whatever reason got worse on a controller for the first few months because it would even softlock if I do something funny, so I ended up doing things with my keyboard and mouse. Luckily, it seems to have gotten better though. However, the game would often switch from controller input to keyboard/mouse input even though I inputted nothing from either of those devices. And even if I played in fullscreen (not borderless window), the game would sometimes disappear for a split second and show my taskbar and other open windows. Heck, on borderless window, it would just be an enlarged standard window. Though, if you play P5X in windowed mode, this problem doesn't arise. This is coming from my experience, and I don't think I've ever had the game crash like you mentioned. The JP closed beta seems quite polished in comparison, though.
Honestly, in spite whatever criticisms we have, I still think the game has a good amount of merit to it. Can't wait until it comes globally. And frankly, better sooner than later, even as much as many others want P6 to be announced, even though announcing P6 would overshadow P5X by a long shot. Honestly, I don't think Global can come soon enough, even if the western reception of the game may come off as divisive due to what it fundamentally is. That and P5 fatigue.
Agree about the levels for bosses. The 2nd palace has a huge level jump and by the third palace you’re already at max level. Its super weird. At least they recently let you retry bosses if you lose at a lowered difficulty
Imagine if it literally never launches globally, then shuts down, forcing fans to essencially handle it for them with a fanserver. I would straight up not be surprised because the preservation and documentation of media already forces gamers to bleed time and money constantly.
Speaking of the online stuff, I think a persona mmo would be fire, with you making squads and bonds with other player and do dungeons and stuff
Well SMT Imagine existed then reimagine existed got shut down as it was a fan server and now they are rebooting another fan server for it if you want an an smt expirience (seems to have a simular engine as digimon masters online) You can fuse whit your demons (altho i never found the quest to unlock it) and use em like a persona sorta if that is what you want. Just be warned multi fusions are a big pain to unlock requiring multiple quests in order to solo fuse em, thats right you heard me correctly multi fusion (you know the special fusions whit more then 2 demons) can be done by saccing a demon from another player if they feel like it as they get nothing but some macca in return and whitout the quest this is the only way to do it. I mean reimagine was very fun until it got a C&D order.
But just you know there does exist something like this out there and if you would consider fusing whit your demon (again never had acces to it but i have seen videos of it) persona like enough then try one of the fan servers.

"They don't let you replay the dungeons!"
Uh, this was the same thing in Persona 5 - once you fight a boss, that palace is deleted and you can't go back to it. The way you grind is through a Tartarus-style dungeon called Mementos. I'm sure Mementos will return in the Phantom X for grinding if they port it to consoles.
That’s not what I meant there is literally NO way to do it. You can’t restart the game or play a new save. Game already has mementos too so
@@YandereGogeta
But you can repaly the dungeons,it has a feature to let you paly it,The feature is called "Rooms of Past Cognitions," which allows you to continue exploring a collapsed palace, but you can no longer experience the story parts.
@@YandereGogeta well yea this is live service game, it's not meant to be restarted or having a new save since it also have microtransaction
I'll be honest: I completely forgot that this game existed. I didn't even know it's been out for year until just now.
I'm gonna be honest I don't really care fore Persona/SMT combat. I just play them for the story. I would be interested in this game that but I do not play games that are known to be predatory. Hopefully if it ever gets a western release it can be modified to just be a game you play and are done with. Maybe I'll just have to watch a full run on youtube or something.
I don't doubt the gacha aspects might be frustrating for someone who isn't used to them, but if a gacha game is done well you won't need to engage much in those features and will just be complementary to everything else.
People not used to Gachas will make up their own FOMO thinking they need every new shiny character because the meta game and various challenges will be catered towards that specific gimmick or attribute the newest unit has. It's the main point of "bait" in every gacha and you have to learn to adapt to it if you're not beyond rich and can afford it all.
Now, I haven't played this one and region locking a game is always a weird move especially if global doesn't release in the same current state and it's a "fresh start", but if the story and base aspect of the battle system are as good as you make them, the gacha aspect won't be an issue.
The only thing that would deter me from playing a heavily monetized game that happens to have both good story and gameplay is when they shove the monetization aspect down your throat at every possible occasion: constant reminders of the new "gem pack" or whatever, locking quality of life and ease of access behind monthly subscriptions, actually making FOMO characters that powercreep the hell out of current ones making them absolutely necessary to progress.
If it doesn't have any of those extreme points and is polished enough, I will definitely enjoy it.
Motoha Arai is probably my favorite character design I've seen in any Atlus related game. Want to play this game just for her. lmao I don't know if that design specifically was Shigenori Soejima, but if this is even vaguely what we can expect for the next Persona I can't wait. They really cooking with the designs.
BTW this was the first video I've seen of yours. Good stuff. I'll be sure to check out some more. Never enough P4 content to consume since it's the greatest game of all time.
I've never given a sh*t about waifus in Persona but i would romance her in a heartbeat if i played this game, just going by how she's designed.
I can say now i really want all out attacks to be completely different design wise for persona 6 like they were from 4 into 5
3:58 and that's where i stopped listening 😭...
Always so sad to see a potentially good project be hindered by the monetization aspect
I love Persona, but man do I hate Gacha mechanics, especially since I don't want to waste either my money or worse my time.
will this be the HSR killer when global releases?
Fr this game is amazing it really make you feel like is alive.
I mean this in the best way possible, your accent gets so much more apparent when you get annoyed during the bugs/unpolished section lol

learned japanese for moments like this, only for this japanese game ip to not have a japanese release yet, crazy
It has Japanese dubbing if that makes it any better lolol
Don't care if it's a gacha game. If it's Persona 5, BRING IT!
Japan region pre regist been open (I don't know it's either for beta or full released) but the date still on tbd so it's probably would take longer time for the global ones
That’s why I wait until global release because they hopefully fix the issues by then.
I hope this game becomes popular so other companies also change their gacha systems, I'm tired of losing 50/50's I'd rather pull extra 20/30 times than 70 to get the new unit
(I'M TALKING TO YOU HOYOVERSE)
nah bro, the 1M bosses/bullet proof ennemis
its litteraly honkay star rail
you don't have the caracters/equipement, its game over, you will never advance
I don’t care how good this game is I am not playing a gotcha game give us persona 6 already
From what he said it seems pretty f2p friendly, not all gatcha games are always after your wallet. I play three different gacha games currently and haven't spent a single dollar despite finishing all current content in each of them. If the game itself is fun then that's all that really matters
Okay the game itself is pretty decent for the story as for the online features well i do agree it need a lot of work, i know that it is a mobile game and it is still in the works but i think once the developers work out every little issues i am sure they will start adding it on other platforms.
As a sorta week 1 player in the Taiwan server, and a f2p player, just expect yourself to go into this as a gacha game first so you can lower down the expectation of going through the game. It's heavily based on Honkai Star Rail's battle system too, but this game seriously has some of the toughest stages (with puzzles in them too), so you are heavily required to read so you don't get killed on the spot and use the proper strategy. Perhaps I am used to gacha stuff, but as long as you saved up, you can get your character desired. I hope there is a lot less of HP inflation, because HSR sucked at that.
1:42 Actually no, you CAN replay the dungeon in P5X if you beat the Palace Ruler, but you can't redo them from scratch per say. Especially in the 3rd Palace, the game forced you to not get sidetracked, so you can go back and do the remaining dungeon after beating the final boss for the Palace. You might not notice it, but it's in a small circle besides the currently available Palace.
The main story of P5X is very good, but the beginning could be very rough (you can only understand why the 1st dude is lust themed when you actually heard of these weird men who actually knock into people in Japan subway). Dunno if you ever heard of it, but there is a meme of a character in P5X where this character has a very bad story writing (most P5X players will notice it once you went through their confidant), and I kinda like this weird character. But after the 1st Palace, you will get into P5X for real this time. I found some of the Persona 5 antagonists are kinda... cliche, so seeing the 2nd and 3rd boss makes me wish to punch them in the face. I really liked the main cast and some of their side characters a lot too. It makes you think "wow, why didn't P5/P5R have thought of this" and such. The P5X side quests can range from very interesting or mundane, but some of them are very P5X themed. That 3rd arc? Chef's kiss. Summer and LNY events are kinda mundance, but I kinda like how they tried to connect different characters who don't or rarely interact into one event.
As for the collab? It's kinda boring? I'm saying this as a Persona 5 fan, but it seems like I cared about the on-going plot of P5X and the subtle hints of the reason why Wonder's crew was trapped in the collab world. Ren feels weirdly extra, since he tends to be MIA in the story or useless in the stages you are in. Tho, it is worth noting that surprisingly Ryuji somehow feels a lot smarter in the collab where he has to be the dad of the crew and babysit Morgana with Ann's help. Ryuji is the only one that felt so OOC since his personality is somewhat more akin to Strikers and the most logical among all the P5 crew by keeping a very cool headed personality, but it's weirdly refreshing? Lmao
As for confidants, man, it could be a chore unless you decide to pace them out or prioritise them in the menu (which is a great improvement). It takes a long time because it is a live-service game, so people who aren't used to this concept will find it a drag. At least they have improved a lot now since back then, it took a much longer time to grind money in the real world and buy the necessary gifts for them. There are like 2 social links I really don't like, without spoiling too much.
Dungeon and puzzles in this game can be both fun and a chore to go through, but the main reason for that is because it's... HUGE. It can take days to even complete the whole dungeon. Tho there are bugs with graphics occasionally, but they aren't a deal breaker for me. The 3rd arc is weirdly my favourite dungeon, because it fits the personality of the Palace Ruler so well with thought-provoking OSTs, even if it's way too big that it feels nothing like a mobile game anymore lmao
The only thing most won't talk about is the dub (and I know most won't care since they all played in JP dub lol), but it's very dependant on which dub you stick with first. While the Korean version only has the Japanese dub, the CH and TW server have a Mandarin dub. For being my first completely Mandarin dub experience, the Mandarin dub could be a hit or miss for a few characters (some are actually better than JP, especially Yaoling, fight me lol), but surprisingly the characters may have a different vibe between the dubs. Motoha, Miyu and Shun are some of them I can list off from the top of my head atm. Tho the sound design in this game could do some work, especially on the Mandarin dub side. Sometimes the environmental SFX and background music being way too loud compared to the voicelines even after lowering them, and sometimes the sound designers and voice director have this weird fascination to lower down the volume of the voicelines whenever one was yelling. This isn't just a P5X problem since P5T also has this problem, but it can be real distracting.
Tho can I say? The promotional videos in Persona 5 X are phenomenal. The animation there are just eye candy and not too flashy. It gives me a lot of awe while watching the smooth as butter and expressive animation that the studio can just make a P5X animation just with its studio 3D engine.
How do you finish the story in a live service game when they are designed to never end?
That is the ultimate question cause we don’t know how they’ll approach an ending. We’ll have to see
Arcs.
Multiple many years running gacha have had multiple stories told in the confines of the gacha.
Honkai Impact 3rd entirely finished it's story with it's original cast of characters and is now telling an entirely new story.
FGO is up to it's fourth main plot with ordeal call in JP.
But even then... whilst yes gacha games are live service and as such designed to continue for as long as it can in multiple regards, they are still finite. It's really still down to the devs when it ends, like Nier Reincarnation, which could have kept going as it was making enough money to do so. Yoko Taro was satisfied with where it was left off with it's last major arc and so... it ended.
Or tldr... we'll know when it ends, when it ends.
I wanna play this game as soon as possible 😂😂😂
I hope it doesn't take too long to release.
definitely would love a video talkinf abt the story! i know NOTHING about this game lol
I'd like to see a tips and tricks guide when it gets released WW.
I'll definitely do one!
Almost a year later and I still cant play it 😭
Me: gacha ann tamaki and futaba Christmas outfit and summer swimsuit outfit just take my money
I personally can't play this game in good faith since it bastardizes the whole concept of P5 into some gimmick. Not to be pretentious but the reason so many connected with the original P5 is because every single aspect (character/phantom theif design, environment design, GUI, music, narative, etc...) blended together to create an inspiring and, for me, lifechanging story. Every single element in the game was harmonious in its design and created a never before seen experience. P5X throws all integrity out the window for cash. Awesome video, though!
I have played P5X for a long time and have spent LOTS of hours on it. And what can I say. I agree with almost all your points, BW has done both great and bad things and it seems they are trying to get better. Something I would like to include, is that they do listen to the community(even more with the chinese one) and they are trying to give most characters, some appearances in the events so they do not become that forgettable(RIP Haruna, Yukimi and Sepia tho). Another thing is that I think they are doing some good confidants(Yaoling, Riko, Kotone, Masaki, Kira etc are some examples) but theres obviously some improvement. On the terms of gameplay, i must admit that it is sometimes paniful as fuck, the heart trail being the most boring shit ever and Astrolab depending on how much characters you have. The farming is also relatively easy and fast(unlike some popular gacha game which starts with the letter G..) and you dont suffer much from it. The weapon banner could also have some improvement, but i think you could have included the fact that its cheaper(something most gachas dont) and its a bit of improvement to the least. I think the story is also pretty great, the only palace I didnt like being the 1st one, but Miyazawas and Katayama/that dude palaces are way better than their counterparts and if they go on like this, i think they can make a better story than most personas or atleast, at a similar level.
I heard that the first palace was heavily inspired by kamoshidas palace and the fans didnt like that. As they were near identical atlus decided that they would help out and create more unique palaces for the game
@@nyanmurai5846 yeah and thank God they did, bc they cooked with the next 2 palaces
I actually used to play this but had to quit cause the game took way too much storage on mobile in particular it honestly is one of the best gachas out there even with negatives it has going on for it
Pleeaaase bro. I would love for you to talk about this game's story. I play this game a lot. Definitely an endgame player but the timed events kinda get in the way of me tryna take my time and enjoy the story of the game.
If you say its just as good, I really wanna know more. I'm down to see those videos.
I played it for like 3 months and it doesn't matter if it's gacha because you would still get the characters as you progress
You COULD get them but if you’re F2P you’re most likely gonna get shafted on at least one banner
Why couldnt they just release it already theres no fucking way that they're gonna release it when the story is already done its only in the 3rd palace yet
My main question is - does the game have solid playerbase and revenue, because without it, it'll get shutdown shortly after worldwide release. And there is nothing more depressing than playing in dying gacha or knowing that soon enough the game will be on the chopping block.
Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
I really wish that we get p5x before p6 so the game can have it's chance globally before p6 comes and take all the hype

DDS is also a very good choice if you ever had time for it, it features similar system that later was reimplemented in Metaphor with unique cast and quite interesting story
The bad is that not global release 😂
WHYYYY this has to be gacha. It looks so good but gacha games are unplayable for a normal human
Cause it is free to play mobile game. How else devs will monetise it?
Not every gacha game is just about gambling with predatory monetization, there are gacha games that gives you tons of freebies with good gacha rate.
some game even implemented skill based combat so your skills as a player are more matter to complete challenge rather than meta character overdependent game that required you to pull for the new meta to be able to keep up with the game challenges, which means you don't really need to spend a single cent to enjoy the game and can still clearing any content by still being a completely f2p.
Guess I'm not a normal human then. If you have to claim its 'unplayable', then you immediately lose validity because that's objectively bullshit for many gacha games out there.
Just make persona 6.....they are milking persona 5 popularity to further the arc. I mean of course it is fine since i love persona 5 but it is getting too confusing and too many characters.
once that drops in global im grinding to pull of the og thevies
I love wasting my time for stuff that is all for nothing😃
Also the most difficult game I've ever played.
Can't get past the title screen.
When is it releasing globally tho?
Edit : aw man its the branch dev team of tower of fantasy, thats such a huge red flag
Hopefully soon
i dunnnooooo. i feel like if people get too hyped for this are going to be sorely disappointed. its actually not even made by anyone whos worked on persona ever. its being made by a company called black wings, who have literally never made a game before. Atlus is involved but only in a supervision role and thats even if we get a worldwide release. they say theyre planning on one but to say that a year ago and then literally radio silence. i kinda doubt its going to happen, i have a feeling it already fell off in china. you cant even find any stats for it like how many players or most players and only data you can find is twitch viewership of the game, which is like 7 people in the last week, only a peak of 4k people ever. my advice, just wait for P6 and dont even bother worrying about this game. im not tryna be a downer but i reaaaally feel the rose tinted glasses you're wearing when you talk about this game, i get it man. i LOVE persona too. if you can TRULY say this game to you makes you feel that persona magic then ill trust ya on that.
that being said if it releases internationally and we get it here, and its free you know im definitely going to at least give it a fair shake.
Definitely agree with your take. I tried the game myself but just couldn't get what all the hype was about... it just felt "meh".
@@reviser99 people are just understandably starved for some more Persona! lol I dont blame em.
@@antonyjames4698 Yeah, that's a fair take
Its bad because its not in America. Real talk:WHY ISNT IT IN AMERICA?! COME HONE PLEASE! Is there any info about localization? Anything at all?
No info yet unfortunately
I want to be hyped for p5x but i just can't. plus the fact that its a gacha feels very predatory
seems like a solid 7/10 experience, maybe i will check it out
i'll quickly say this
the crashing might be due to the English AI patch
as i tested it out without it for a bit and had no crash
but it could be me just getting lucky
cos the crashing i did get was sometimes only 10 mins playing
while other days i can play for 3 hours and it's perfectly fine
so it is random
Ok, my two biggest points for disliking it conceptually as someone who hasn't played P5X is that A) the new phantom thief outfits look gaudy and out of place, especially when put side by side with the sleek elegant designs of the original phantom thieves. You can really tell they were designed by people who work on gacha games and not people who work on actual video games. B) Persona 5 is a game fundamentally about rebellion, so making a version of that game meant to appeal to a Chinese audience, therefore complying with all the Chinese censors and bullshit so that they don't piss off their dictator, and then making that version into one of the scummiest types of games possible, doesn't sit well with me.
I'm pretty sure it'll get a lot better over time. That's the case with a lot of gacha games. Bleach brave souls for example, compare that between then and now. It's only been a year and not even out globally, so I'm pretty sure we'll get a lot of improvements once it's actually fully out
Man, pretty much hit the nail on the head of why despite wanting to be interested I just cannot. By consequence of being a gacha live service, the game will be distributed piecemeal to ensure maximum retention. A story with no end, and no reason to grant an end to a journey because doing so means you'll lose player retention. So regardless of how good the story might be, unless you stick around, you'll never see its conclusion. The carrot on a stick design philosophy is so damn insulting to people's time and investment.
Even tho it a gacha the key thing and most important is how generous are the rewards and how is the power creep, can you beat everything with start characters? Or do you NEED new ones
With the way this game is structured you CAN beat almost everything with starter stuff, but when it comes to some of the events you won't be able to get everything in the events done. Like for the story you should be good to go, but for let's say the Summer event you definitely wouldn't be able to get the final levels done.
On the plus side this is the most generous gacha game I've ever played. As long as you do the events and get mostly everything done you can get most of the characters without spending at all, unless you're like me and have the worst luck ever
@ cool that was somthing I was worried about as for having no luck, welcome to the club, thanks for the info
I'm still pretty in the dark about the game besides this video (on purpose, global release please) but I love the theory that this could be taking place in p5's bad ending
Physically don't care just release the dame thing in the US
Sounds like the Main Complaints of this game is the Gacha system, which im not gonna let that ruin what sounds like an amazing game
if my comment will help anyone atm, the game is generous af to a point, i almost have every limited character of every element in a span of 4 months playing it, AS A F2P. to top it off? along with their designated weapons.
u will need 1500 for 10 pulls for character banners. for weapon u only need 1000 for 10 pulls.
the gacha even have a confirm banner system (the traditional are the standard 50/50 banner) where u need 110 pulls to confirm but if youre lucky enough, u GUARANTEE to get the character u pulling no matter what. Ive been lucky a lot here and confirm my character as early as 20 pulls in. more than that, they added a counter for every 165 pulls, you can get a random standard character. I can be happy if I get anything atp.
the standard characters are decent and usable in every way possible. they give u a lot of standard pulls and u can even horde it or do whatever u want in case theyre adding character into standard banner (and they obviously did and some of the chars theyve added so far is a good addition)
in all honesty I am going to play it when it comes to global as well. I cant wait to just play and enjoy the game along with it story and yes the game can be played auto if u are lazy gamer like me. every content so far Ive autoed and still gets me all the rewards.
hope it helps anyone who still are considering the game when it releases globally.
Yeah sure blud, never mention how fast they listen and optimize some of the gameplay experiences. Never mention about how generous they are with the freebies. Never mention how despite having the 50/50, their gacha system and microtrasction is much more cost-efficient than 99% of gacha games out there. No no, no need to, just focus on all the negative factors. That’ll help the franchise getting a great reputation.👍
@@michealb8508 did you even watch the video bro I literally said all this lol
Tbh nothing you said about the gacha side of the game seemed that bad, as long as all the game content is clearable with "free" characters you wont need to pull at all
I went from “oooh what is this some kind of really well developed fangame?” to *”EWWWW”* real fast
🤔I really like the persona series, it's a really fun series, but I'll probably just watch video on the story, because yes the characters look awesome and the blond girl just remind me of a girl version ryuji, but I'm not liking the part that it's a gacha game, gacha hame like this mean your lock behind updates to progress through the story, and if you want the characters to be really good you need to buy their full equipment for them to be fully good, do yeah probably won't play it, but good coverage over the game.
I love the fact that when Atlus give the right to develop the game to Chinese studio, they killed the original protagonist, Joker and then make a Chinese the protagonist. Tells me a lot from that. 😂
Just so you know, both the stories and the characters were made my atlus themselves
The fact that it's a gacha game got me to ignore the game's existence completely, I don't look forward to playing it :(
Edit: guess I'm gonna have to wait for persoan 6 which is definitely coming soon :D
100% valid
I play gacha games and MMOs, just expect me to spend real money 0.01% of 100% of the times. 😃😀
How do you play and also translate the game on the fly? Bluestacks? Maybe you already explained this, but new to the channel.
Welcome to the channel! There’s a native launcher for the game on PC, and there’s a mod for it that auto translates the game. I don’t remember what the invite link for the discord for where to get it is, but it’s called P5X Worldwide iirc
When this game get remove in future I hope wtlus announces a offline version like x dive offline that just be sad to not make one
I am a simple man, I see Chord/Ayaka Sakai I click the video
Joking aside, I’d say this is a pretty great review for P5X. Your style has made me have a few good laughs here and there.
Tho I have to say the game has it’s problems here and there but I trust the devs and they would definitely continue to listen to the community and improve (I better see the new format for the new weapon banner)
Lackluster events? ~~Nobody tell YandereGogeta about the leaks for P5X~~
Overall? Really enjoyed this video! I hope you do continue to make more P5X videos
Hoping they release global soon. (also on pc)
It's dogshit purely on the fact of being a mobile gacha game. If Atlus had braincells, they would've made p5x a console game in the same vein of p2: eternal punishment, and just released new content as expansions you pay for like the old days of ps3/xbox 360.
Really is hilarious how quickly it dropped off the face of the planet once ppl found out what it is.
I can’t wait for it to drop if day one it doesn’t come to ps5 I’m preordering a steam deck
Is this still coming to the US at some point or has it already launched
I want there to be a non gacha version of the game when all the story content is done.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the constant crashes caused by the translator mod? I have no proper proof for this but for some reason, when I have the translator mod on, it takes a while when you start to load the game and go into the title menu, as compared to not having the translator mod where it briefly loads the game without having to wait. I haven't tried playing the game without a translator (i only remove the translator when there I have to update) therefore I do not have a consensus on the cause of crashes
I have learned since making this video that the crashing is a result of the translator mod, yeah
its one of my main gacha rn
My takeaway from this video is that the problem that people have with P5X is that it's a gacha game and does gacha stuff lol
Basically yeah lol
If the game story is at the same level of persona 5 story than it's not a good thing
Do more on persona 5 the phantom x please
You mentioned Kasumi sucks without her weapon. You should try going to Iwai to buy a 4-5 star weapon instead since those work too and you can skip the weapon banners
The English version isnt out right?
@@lightninghunter4342 Not yet nah
How do u have all the text in english? Edit: In *ALOT* of the text, not all of it.
This game came out?!
It’s out in Korea, China, and Taiwan
@@YandereGogeta Ahhh, I thought I missed the western release
I had play worse gachas. Your points are good but they are common complains in most gachas too. Emulators sometimes dont like some mobile games too. Thats why native launchers are better and hopefully they do make one once global hits. Banners pity? Yeah i hate the 50/50 genshing thing too but seens they at least back down from that one so theres that. Im mostly worry about the confidants system. Hopefully they Will upgrate it later on too.
This game has a native launcher on PC I’m not using an emulator
Gacha games should not be endorsed and should be should be advertised as "gambling", not "games"
Dumb take. Plenty of gacha games are very focused on the gameplay aspect, and sometimes are easily playable without spending any money at all. There are plenty of gacha games where you don't need to whale to get the things you want.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN JOKER GETS KILLED
i wanna get into p5x but i dont know which server to play on, which one would you recommend?
I recommend either the Taiwan or Korea server. The Chinese one is ahead in updates but it’s kind of a pain to get set up. If you wanna use the translator mod the Korean version has the first palace fully translated, but I believe the Taiwan version might be slightly ahead in updates by a few days or so
