I've spoken about this on my own blog, but I have a theroy that the Phantom Idols won't necessarily be limited to the Core PT and Wonder's confidants. Given its a P5 gacha, it'd make sense to include the original games confidants as Idol options. Given past popularity polls in Japan we'd know who'd be selected. But Chinese fans have different favorites as the most recent poll showed. So it'd be interesting to see how this would turn out. -ShadowTarrot (having to anon bc ST is a SideBlog)
(Oh hey, I've seen you in the P5X tag before! I think you made a post recommending my blog to your followers for P5X news at one point? I appreciate the shoutout, haha!)
Personally, I'd love that! It'd be so fun to actually get to have all (I'd hope all?) the original P5 Confidants join as Phantom Idols, even if it's ultimately just more gacha fodder or locked behind an event or something. I know I've mentioned before on this blog that I'm a Mishima fan, and I've always wanted him to be a Phantom Thief, but I'd settle for an Idol instead. And it'd honestly be so fun to get to see the others as Persona users as well, especially the ones you don't see people talking about having specifically wanted to see join the team as much!
