The characters from Persona 5 / Royal are a special case. They are actual Persona users but have an unknown connection to the protagonist's cognition and appear as cognitions.

Kumi Katayama: A math teacher at Kokatsu Academy and the homeroom teacher of class 2-C. Being set up by Kei Akashi for using violence at school, she is suspended from her work and has a mental breakdown.

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 copyright Thieves, promising to steal the treasures out of six other palaces. Shun Kano, a fellow Kokatsu Academy student, joins the copyright 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.

The game begins in a similar vein to how Persona 5 begins, midway through the infiltration at Niijima's Palace. However, when Joker begins to make his escape, a hooded intruder intervenes and attacks him.

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

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.

After awakening from a nightmare, the protagonist is thrust into a changed world drained of hope... And the new faces he encounters are pelo less strange: an eloquent owl named Lufel, a long-nosed man and a beauty donned in blue.

They also appear within the CrossFate storyline where protagonist is sent backwards in time and enters a strange Monad Door. They are found within a replica of Tartarus.

Perfect World Games first teased the project with a trailer in April 2021. Titled Code Name: X, it was claimed to be the first mobile entry in a “famous Japanese console game series” that has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

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.

As he navigates the mysterious realms of the Metaverse and the Velvet Room, and grapples with ruinous visions that threaten his everyday life, he must discover what there is to take from this new world—and all in true copyright Thief style.

Despite this, however, the calendar does appear in the game, albeit superficially and seemingly only used to track the days playing the game.[48] This also means there are no deadlines in this game and the protagonist can take Persona 5 The copyright X as long as necessary to clear story missions.

The gameplay isn't bad, but it's clear that they've decided to focus on finding more ways to get people to spend rather than creating an enjoyable experience. Especially when we have previous versions to compare to, the global version is way stingier, consistently giving less rewards and increasing prices.

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

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.
