Can you date all the girls in Persona 5?
The social simulator aspect is one of the unique features of the critically acclaimed game, Persona 5. Alongside Phantom Thieves’ rebellious journey, the player can date multiple characters and build their social connections with them. Among these romantic conquests is the question on every player’s mind: Can I date every girl in Persona 5? Let us dive into this and explore all the opportunities the game provides.
Roming multiple girlfriends
Person 5, unlike traditional Japanese dating simulation games (JDrama games), deviates from the cliche scenario of a single focus on an in-game boyfriend. Instead, it presents an astonishingly liberated narrative, accommodating multiple social relationships simultaneously.
Why should you befriend ALL the girls
While every romantic encounter enriches a specific story progression, befriending every feminine character you come across grants in-game dividends:
- Extra gifts – In New Game+ mode, female friends would present gifts based on friendships forged before beating the Main Story, providing some significant boosts
- Combat strength – Allied with some, their personas aid you with extraordinary strength (see specific instances below, Table-1)
- Additional abilities – Interactions unlock supplementary abilities, significantly influencing exploration experiences
Astonishing Persona fusions
Partnering yourself with some significant characters further diversifies fusion possibilities at your Jokers-exclusive Velvet Room. Engaging in exclusive conversations for the chosen character ensures access to powerful Personas, which the following table reveals:
Table 1: Allied-female-derived Persona strength gain
- [Girl-Friend]* + 600-1800 Attack Force
– Sumire grants the 1400+-point, light-element fusion "Palmistry Raja" [Chokma
Kamiya Kasumi supplies a powerful medium-element weapon fusion: ~1300-force [Shura],
Noted exceptions
Notably: Satsuki Shibusawa refuses romancing & cannot be involved in friendship bonds due to her storyline as the Palace Palace’s curator and later adversary.
Kasumi cannot be defeated; Romance Limit restrictions exist after the palace capture event but can improve their bonds & gifts afterwards.
The intriguing Person-aspects extend far beyond traditional romance with various, unpaired story-tailings!
