Atsushi Takayama: Target from Yumi Shiina's Synergy stories. A man who once kept harassing Yumi with unreasonably harsh comments on her dancing performance, which eventually caused her to quit dancing. He finds the bar where Yumi is currently working at and continues his harassment.
Like Persona 5, the dungeon crawling portion takes place in the Metaverse, a realm created from subconscious desires that consists of Mementos and Palaces.
The trio work together as the Phantom Thieves, promising to steal the treasures out of six other palaces. Shun Kano, a fellow Kokatsu Academy student, joins the Phantom Thieves to change the heart of Hiromu Miyazawa, a dishonest food critic who uses his platform to acquire restaurants and profit through the use of cheaper ingredients.
Viewing this event as the catalyst for his professional career and personal life falling apart, he now terrorizes women by shoving them at train stations and holds a venomous grudge against Motoha, willing to destroy her life through any means necessary.
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.
All-Out Attacks can now be initiated by any party member (except navigators) once every enemy has been downed. A new feature to this game are Highlight which are performed in a similar vein to Showtime, albeit it is performed with only one character rather than two. After charging up a meter, a character can be selected and they will use a Highlight. Some Highlight like Lufel's are stat buffs or health recovery rather than attacks. The protagonist's highlight has different versions depending on which type Persona that he has summoned with during the battle.

While this game has the same social stat system as Persona 5, the stats can be raised to a much higher amount. Similarly, the game has Synergy Links, which function near identically to the Confidant system, only with more ranks, usually ranging from 15 to 20. Despite this, for most of the ranks only ten of them have events. There also are some non confidant characters that have side quests the protagonist can complete to get rewards.
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.
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 Persona 5 The Phantom X a new voice actor that provides him with brand new voice lines.
After Miyu ran away from home, they manage to locate where she is and hire a man to sabotage her performance, later even forcibly canceling the street performer event that Miyu wants to perform at because they don't support Miyu's dream.
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.
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):
