Persona 5: Royal – Complete Confidant Guide & Walkthrough

I absolutely love Persona 5 Royal! What really gets me is how you have to manage your time so carefully. Every night feels important because if you’re not tackling a Palace, you can be leveling up your skills, grabbing useful items, or even just hanging out and building relationships with all the interesting characters. It’s such a great JRPG, and it makes every choice feel meaningful!

As a big fan of this game, I’ve found that building relationships with just a few characters to the max is totally doable in one run. But if you’re like me and want to romance everyone and unlock all the content, it’s a real time commitment! That’s why I started looking for ways to help manage everything – and that’s what we offer, a little boost to make sure you don’t miss out on anything!

We’ve created a helpful guide that explains the rank progression for every confidant in Persona 5: Royal. It’s designed to help you make the most of your time in this JRPG, where managing your calendar is key.

Okay, so this game is basically all about finding your perfect virtual girlfriend, and I’m hoping these guides will help me charm whoever I’m trying to woo!

    Every Persona 5: Royal Confidant

      The Chariot

      I absolutely love Ryuji! He’s the first real friend you make in the game, and honestly, the most consistently supportive. He’s got a lot going on, a tough history and a coach who really messed things up for him, which makes him struggle with staying strong. But getting to know him as a confidant is amazing because you really get to help him find that inner strength again. It’s a really rewarding part of the game!

      The Emperor

      Yasuke isn’t comfortable with emotions or vulnerability. They generally focus on appearances and what’s visually appealing, and don’t easily grasp deeper feelings. However, this story offers a glimpse into a more sensitive side of Yasuke as they begin to realize the importance of inner qualities over outward beauty.

      The Fortune

      Starting a relationship with Cihaya can be expensive – it costs 100,000 Yen to begin. However, once you connect with her, you’ll find her story is one of the most compelling in the game. You’ll help her escape a controlling cult, and in doing so, she may even begin to re-evaluate her beliefs.

      The Moon

      Every good social media presence needs a skilled manager, and Yuuki is among the best. He’s also a huge fan of the Phantom Thieves, sometimes forgetting they’re just his friends and classmates. This storyline focuses on helping Yuuki build his own confidence and understand the complexities of admiring heroes.

      The Lovers

      Ann, along with Ryuji, is central to the story’s emotional impact at the beginning of the game. This makes getting to know her through her Confidant storyline even more rewarding, as you discover she’s much more than just her appearance. She’s a strong, brave character with surprising inner strength.

      The Tower

      Arcade enthusiasts are rare these days, largely because the 1980s are long past. But in this imagined version of Shibuya, you’ll meet Shinya, a dedicated arcade player. He seems like a carefree kid focused only on beating games, but his quiet confidence is endearing and makes him a compelling character to follow as he navigates the challenges of growing up.

      The Death

      Medical bills are often a huge burden, but Tae Takemi offers an alternative. She’s a doctor who operates outside the usual system, providing tests and treatments discreetly. While she doesn’t always follow the rules, she has a strong sense of ethics and genuinely cares about her patients. Though she may come across as tough, she has a compassionate side, and building a relationship with her allows you to see it while also offering a critical look at the current state of healthcare.

      The Hierophant

      Sojiro feels like a father to you – someone you either really want to impress, or feel stuck having to rely on. Regardless of how you feel about him now, your relationship will grow stronger over time as you build a connection through shared work, mutual trust, and a sense of family.

      The Hermit

      Okay, so you don’t have to be a hardcore gamer to appreciate Futaba from Persona 5! She’s a bit of a loner at first, but as you get to know her through her story, you realize there’s a really sad reason why she’s so closed off and has trouble connecting with people. Honestly, she’s also hilarious – you’ll either be laughing with her, or feeling really bad for her, but she definitely leaves an impression!

      The Strength

      This storyline focuses on the idea of two sides to everything – duality and balance. For those familiar with the game, completing this confidant unlocks powerful new fusion options and, with the right choices, a hidden boss fight.

      The Judge

      Even though you have to advance Sae’s confidant storyline as part of the main story, it’s helpful to plan ahead and understand how it will unfold. Just because it’s required doesn’t mean it’s not a compelling and crucial part of the game, especially since it’s directly connected to the biggest plot twist.

      The Fool

      Igor seems like a source of wisdom, but he’s really there to help you learn more about yourself. He changes and develops alongside you as the story goes on, and also has his own interesting story to tell.

      The Hanged Man

      Is it right to sell guns to children? Munehisa doesn’t see a problem with it – for them, profit is the only thing that matters. While they might initially seem questionable, getting to know Munehisa reveals someone who simply made some bad choices while trying to provide for their family. Everyone has a past they might regret, and Munehisa’s story is a prime example of that.

      The Devil

      It’s fitting that the character of The Devil’s confidant represents journalists and the media – and I say that as someone who works in the field. This character delves into how the media covers stories, the moral questions it faces, and the issue of corruption, all through the eyes of a reporter just trying to do their job with integrity in a notoriously difficult industry.

      When it comes to characters with questionable ethics, we have Toranosuke Yoshida, a politician who isn’t very successful in elections. However, Persona fans admire his strong will and honesty, as he remains committed to his beliefs even when facing difficulties and trying to make a difference. His story is a true example of perseverance and never giving up.

      Romancing Sadayo Kawakami in the game can be a bit complicated, but it’s a rewarding path to take. You’ll learn about her hidden life, the pressures she faces, and the toll it takes on her. It’s best not to dwell too much on the age difference or their past relationship as teacher and student.

      The Magician

      It’s common for people to question who they are and what their purpose is in life. But Morgana experiences this struggle in a very real way.

Ultimately, it leads to a satisfying reveal of her true identity.

      The Justice

      Everyone tries to show their best side, whether it’s how they look or what they post online. Goro is the same way – he acts like the ideal detective, appearing sharp, thoughtful, and intelligent. However, getting to know him reveals he’s not as perfect as he seems.

      Persona 5 Royal: Akechi Confidant Guide

      The Justice

      I’ve noticed everyone tries so hard to seem perfect, especially online – you know, with how we curate our social media. Goro is the master of that! He really projects this image of being the ultimate detective – super smart, always thinking steps ahead, and incredibly skilled. But honestly, getting to know him reveals he’s not so perfect after all. He’s got his flaws, just like the rest of us.

      In every school, there’s usually a student who seems destined to be valedictorian, and in Persona 5, that student is Makoto.
