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.

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.

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.

Regarding Kira merely as an unprofessional freshman and prioritizing his career, he obstinately refuses Kira's request to give surgery to the patient and even ignores the patient's will after the patient has made up his mind.

Lufel points out to Nagisa a former baseball player, Takeyuki Kiuchi, who intentionally rams into women in the subway as a means of attaining his misogynistic desires, and says that in order to stop him, they must enter Kiuchi's palace (a baseball stadium) within the Metaverse and steal his treasure, an object which is the source of warped desires.

The characters from Persona 3 Reload are a special case. They are actual Persona users but have an unknown connection to the protagonist's cognition and appear as cognitions.

Kazuhiko Tsuda: A young schoolboy who is keen on solving on-street incidents and training his deductive skills.

I play on my tablet and on steam. It's a fun game and I genuinely enjoy it, but Sega is making choices that make things less fair between servers. The translation is definitely rushed too.

To accommodate the format of a free-to-play game created primarily for mobile devices, Persona 5: The Phantom X adapts the Persona mechanics with various changes.

The game also features multiple characters that Wonder can interact with in Tokyo using the "Confidant" system.[4] Compared to the main series, it was heavily reworked: the number of ranks has increased, but not every rank results in unique dialogue conversations.
