Posted by JRPG andPersonaYouTuber Faz, his latest video highlights a rhythm game mode, where the player character, Wonder, joins what appears to be a band club in order to play with other students at his school, with Wonder playing the bass guitar. Much like othersimilar rhythm games, players have to either match the rhythm’s beats in time, either holding the note that corresponds to the keys on a keyboard if the game is played on a PC, or the touchscreen if the game is played on a phone. The aim is to get a high score by playing on beat and not missing any notes.
Fans familiar with thePersonadancing spin-off gameswill likely be familiar with this gameplay style and the requirements to get a high score. Faz shows that there are a number of unlockable songs available to play inPersona 5: The Phantom X, including some of the game’s original tracks, like “Wake Up Your Hero,” “Last Strike,” and “Shadow Loop.” A number of songs from the original Persona 5 are also available to play in this mini-game, including “Life Will Change,” Last Surprise," and “Blooming Villain,” to name a few.
