I'm very confused by this take
I didn't pay *too* close attention to the reactions to 5X first being announced, but I definitely didn't see "Yay, playing as the original P5 cast!"
Like okay, it's got P5 in the name. But this is a spinoff in an alternate universe. The pull of the game was *original* new characters and a new story, not the original PTs being playable in a mobile gacha.
The 5D characters are cool and fun, I'm all for mixing in the 5 cast and 3R cast and upcoming 4R cast, but I think no new OCs since Berry (technically Blitz was the last one as an actual Idol) is a valid complaint too. Saying the original P5 cast was the main draw of this game is absurd to me.
What are y'all's thoughts? Haven't seen anyone here talking about the "lack of new OCs"
Edit 1: Oh my gosh, guys, yes I forgot Pinky and Anri. I'm a global player and don't keep too close of tabs on what's coming out 😩
