Persona 5: The Phantom Xwent from a beloved gacha game to a greedy cash grab in the eyes of most global players real quick. Earlier this month,Sega and Atlus managed to rile up the game’s global fanbaseby speeding up the game’s release schedule, while also offering less free currency and rewards than the game’s Chinese server and playerbase.
Not only have global players been getting fewer Meta Jewels than Chinese players, but they have also received no additional codes and significantly fewer guaranteed banners. Understandably, this has led to claims of favoritism, with other servers getting preferential treatment, and many reckon it’s an issue so serious that it could bring about EOS sooner than expected.
Persona 5: The Phantom X To Address “Feedback” From Global Players
Persona 5: The Phantom X’s latest update saw the game drop to Mixed on Steam as a result, and ever since, fans have been awaiting an official response from either Atlus or Sega. It took a while, but that’s exactly what fans are now getting, as it was announcedvia the game’s official Twitter accountthat “future operation plans” will be explained in the game’s next broadcast.
On top of that, the announcement claimed that “many comments” have been received since the game’s last update, and that player feedback is taken “very seriously”. We’ll have to wait until the actual broadcast to see how the developers plan on making things right again, but at the very least, it’s a step in the right direction and a welcome announcement for those angered by the game’s recent stinginess.
To be honest, all the game needs to do is give global players the same rewards as the game’s Chinese playerbase, and the entire situation would be solved. With the sped-up release schedule, fans will already struggle to save up for what they want, and the lack of rewards has made it harder, so increased rewards going forward will solve a lot of problems players have.
