Atlus and Black Wings Game Studio will accelerate content rollout for The Phantom X to synchronize players globally with the advanced Chinese audience. This decision aims to prevent spoilers while addressing concerns about how it may affect game mechanics and meta. Fans have mixed feelings, with some worrying about potential issues like rapid power creep and event balance. The livestream on July 9 confirmed faster story updates, with adjustments to events and character releases, yet provided little detail on how these changes will enhance or impact the gameplay experience.
"At worst, people feel like power creep is too fast and there is no reason to pull," zhirzzh wrote on the Phantom X subreddit. "At best, with more rewards, you lose the people who want to play it as a side-game by moving too fast for them, then slow back down again and lose the people [who play it as their primary gacha game]."
Some folks feel that if The Phantom X compensates players with additional currency to accommodate for the (theoretically) shorter events, this could be a non-issue, but others have enjoyed being behind the Chinese playerbase because they get a sneak peek at characters and events months in advance.
