Persona 5: The Phantom X, at least by the sounds of things, should worry Persona fans. It started as a mobile game and remains a gacha game, two pretty big red flags among a large contingent of the gaming audience. However, after playing it at Tokyo Game Show, I found that it's actually very good.
The game was initially released in China last year with an open beta, and a wider release was later confirmed by Atlus.
This is exactly why I'm holding out on Metaphor: ReFantazio.
With the title still in its open beta phase, Atlus released an hour-long development update video, sharing how close the game is to completion and when the company will be revealing its release date. It also gave us our confirmation that the game will be released in the West.
During its recent broadcast, Atlus shared that development on Persona 5: The Phantom X is 87.5 percent complete — an oddly specific milestone. The company shared (via Automaton Media) that development on the title has been very different from previous Persona games, with the team receiving feedback from players every step of the way.
This feedback has allowed the team to make fundamental changes...
