P5X and P3P Collaboration Opening Video Revealed; Kotone Shiomi Arrives on September 24 (translated)
Player agency: how policy constrains it, how the industry shapes it, how narrative design realizes it.
To celebrate the Persona series' 30th anniversary, Kotone Shiomi, the female protagonist of P3P, will officially join P5X in the September 24 update. Rather than reusing her model from the original game, her 3D model has been rebuilt according to P5X's body proportions and art style. The official team has also released a limited-time opening video showing her alongside P5X's protagonist, and the collaboration will include rearranged music from P3P. Her addition was first teased during a special program in Japan in July, while the next round of details is scheduled to be revealed on the official program Persona X-Stream airing on September 21, extending the crossover from an anniversary celebration into a character debut and time-limited content. This arrangement also ties the character's addition, the video's release, and the subsequent livestream into a single timeline.

Sakigarasu's Take
Crossover characters turn familiar memories back into choices players can act on, and that feeling of return is itself part of what players enjoy; it does not need to be moralized. The tradeoff is that the meaning of old characters is placed within the update cadence of a new service; whether players can revisit them on their own schedule depends on whether the event remains available.
