Yes, you can romance in Persona 5: The Phantom X, but there’s a twist. The dating feature is only available in early access servers, such as Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese. It's not available in the global servers, as of writing.

Those having an account in the early access server can romance all the girls they recruit in the Synergy menu. You must interact with them by giving gifts or hanging out to increase the Synergy Rank and unlock the romance option. You can also take the Harem route and date all the girls simultaneously in Persona 5: The Phantom X.

You can unlock rewards and various Synergy Abilities from the Synergy Menu besides romance in Persona 5: Phantom X’s global server.
