The reception of the new Persona 5 game has been, in general, very positive, but there is one detail that disappointed
The other day there was an announcement that was largely got Persona 5 fans very excited. And it’s confirmed a spin-off based on the same world as the aforementioned game but with new characters and a new story, developed in China by the same publisher as Tower of Fantasy and supervised by Atlus. The name of this game is Persona 5: The Phantom X, and for the first time in a personas 5 It is played with a protagonist other than Joker. In this link you can see more information on the ad.
Perhaps the biggest problem is that the game is free and for mobile, reason why many fear that the quality of Persona 5: The Phantom X is lower than that of a Character any. It’s something that remains to be seen, and it’s true that from what we saw in the trailer, the game looked amazing. You can see it below:
However, there is a detail for which I saw more complaints from the community, and it’s something in which, honestly, I agree. Can you imagine what it is? We’ll take a look.
Persona 5: The Phantom X glitch
I put the word “failure” in quotes because It’s not that it’s a design flaw. or something like that, the game will not get worse because of the decision of the developers that the community has questioned. However, it is believed that the opportunity for a new personas 5 to deliver what many fans have been waiting for. Eventually, The bug I’m talking about is that…
The protagonist of Persona 5: The Phantom X is a man
The name of the main character Persona 5: The Phantom X are Wonder. And if, It’s masculine. This, as I said, is not a design flaw and will not make the game worse, but many fans showed their disappointment that they lost the opportunity for the protagonist to be a woman. And it’s something that, honestly, I totally agree. I wish the protagonist of this game was a girl.
To the saga Character yes it happened have female protagonists, but just 2, in comparison with the five female roles. Were Persona 2: Eternal Persecution there Persona 3 Portable (in the latter, the gender of the protagonist is optional) the only games in the series that included female characters. As far as men are concerned, in all Character the protagonist is a man except in Persona 2: Eternal Thrust, being a total of 5 male protagonists.
people think that it was a golden opportunity to make a female first in this game, and without a doubt Yes it was. Who knows, maybe they will surprise and we will finally see that the gender of the protagonist is optional, but so far it seems not. What do you think of this decision?
