Secrets Persona 5 The Phantom X Top
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.
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.
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:
At Tokyo Game Show, the Japanese version of the game was revealed. There was an in person demo alongside cosplayers and merch much like the previous event. That event also announced that there would be a beta for the game to be revealed at a later date. Gallery[]
After the brief introduction end, he returns to reality where the protagonist begins to fall victim to his desires being taken away. He's unable to convince the girls in the hallway to move, and later when a girl jumps from a building, he finds himself unable to call for help.
The trio work together as the Phantom Thieves, promising to steal the treasures out of six other palaces.

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.
After the scene ends, it is revealed that it was just a nightmare that the protagonist had. After waking up from the dream, he makes his way to school and a mysterious owl proceeds to follow him.
After a brief clash, Joker is able to break the hooded figure's white mask, revealing it to be the Phantom X protagonist, who then proceeds to shoot him.
Excluding the false Igor in Persona 5, this game marks the first time that recycled voice lines of Isamu Tanonaka are not used for Igor's Japanese voice. Igor instead has a new voice actor that provides him with brand new voice lines.
Kazuhiko Tsuda: A young schoolboy who is keen on solving on-street incidents and training his deductive skills.
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.
P5X altered the design of some Personas from the base Persona 5 to be less sexual due to censorship regulations in China (however, other versions of the game feature the uncensored designs, with some exceptions such as the Riders having metallic arms):
Their Personas are named Persona Duos, as they are Persona 5 The Phantom X defined as derivatives of the protagonist's Persona and join the battle along with the protagonist as a duo.
