Persona 5: The Phantom X - Complete City Life guide

Persona 5: The Phantom X makes a few adjustments to the daily life simulation system to create the new City Life event mechanic. In contrast to how it was in the other Persona games and P5, you will need to spend Action Points to engage in the slice-of-life aspects of the newest title. This includes a range of activities, from working a part-time job to just hanging out.

City Life guide in Persona 5: The Phantom X

Persona 5: The Phantom X's City Life events are basically the day-to-day life simulation gameplay from the base game. Just like in Persona 5 Royal, you can spend your time doing various chores that will contribute to your gameplay progression.

Doing these events will allow you to increase your social stats, build synergy with your Confidants, and even earn money. You can engage in these activities five times each day, before the time progresses to the next. Sometimes, City Life events will allow you to gain more Social Stat EXP in Persona 5: The Phantom X, so it is advised that you do tasks with more rewards.

There are a variety of events that you can perform, but it is ideal to always do the one with Meta Crystals as rewards. You can also engage with hangout events where you invite your Confidants out, allowing you to increase synergy with them.

You can perform two of these activities during the Day and Evening, and one at Night before the time passes to the next day. To engage in these events, you will need to tap on the City Tab near the bottom of your screen and select the corresponding activity that you want to partake in.

Keep in mind that you cannot indefinitely engage in these activities, as you will need to spend Action Points.

How to restore Action Points

You will regain 5 Action Points daily when the server for the game resets. Given you need to spend at least 3 for doing the daily missions, it is ideal that you mostly use them for this purpose, and sometimes, to grind Yen. Another way to obtain Action Points is by using the MaraThon Energy consumable.
