During the second closed beta test, you’ll get a chance to recruit and use Shun Kanou. He had previously appeared as an NPC in the first one. However, you’ll get to actually control him as a Persona user this time. You’ll also meet Li Yaoling, who is a mysterious transfer student from China. She is also a Persona user, as we can see from her All-Out Attack cut-in. There are also some familiar faces, such as Skull and Mona, in it. As a reminder, the previous cast of Persona 5 will also be in The Phantom X.
