About some early rumors about p5x on the Chinese Internet
That Seiji, Kotone, and Yukimi were the original teammates,the protagonist was Joker,and the story was a sequel to p5 similar to p5s
That’s why they were the first characters to appear but they are not important because the story was deleted and changed,and the styles are all uniformly Western style.
I heard that due to the popularity, the game developers may be writing a new script.
This is Google Translate, please forgive me for any mistakes.
I do actually fully believe that Yukimi, at least, was originally going to be part of the main team, considering her prominence in the original Codename: X trailer, heh. And I think I have heard before that originally it was going to be a P5 sequel rather than more of a spinoff- if I remember right, Atlus changed their minds because they wanted the “P5 gacha game” to be more friendly to newcomers to the series?
“May be writing a new script” is pretty vague, but I do know they have outright said in update posts that character popularity is an influence on who they make more content for, which is why Merope’s getting some kind of new side quest or something added in 1.3.2, Kotone and Puppet are getting Confidants added eventually, and they’re considering adding more for Marian and YUI. In that sense, it could be said they’re “writing a new script” “due to popularity”, so maybe that’s what the “rumors” there were referring to?
