Confidants in P5X

(last updated 10/26/24!)

Overall, Confidants in P5X are very similar to how they functioned in P5, but there are a few significant differences. Most notably, Confidants are not associated with particular Arcana, and consist of 20 ranks instead of just ten, though only 10 ranks actually progress their storyline.

Confidants also take much, much longer to rank up. Choosing correct answers in their rank-up events isn't enough; especially later on in the Confidant, it tends to require going places with a Confidant many times, and/or lavish presents worth a lot of points, to actually rank them up. Miyu's Confidant does have bonuses that slightly increase the points granted by gifts.

Another major difference is the Confidant menu:

In order: Merope, Yaoling Li, Motoha Arai, Tomoko Noge, YUI, Kayo Tomiyama, Shun Kanou, Ruferu, Kiyoshi Kurotani, Yuumi Shiina, Ayaka Sakai, Miyu Sahara, Kira Kitazato, Masaki Ashiya. (The UI switched in the game update that added Miyu.)

Besides looking very different, a lot more information is contained in this menu: you can see how close you are to ranking up and if anything is blocking you from ranking up (for instance, needing a higher social stat, or a specific Persona for Merope), check the next major bonus you'll get from them, and there are pages for their favorite presents (the heart icon), all the rewards you'll be able to get throughout their Confidant (the present icon), and information about the character, their thoughts on certain things, and a summary of their Confidant (the file icon; gradually unlocked over the course of the Confidant).

Future Confidants include Toshiya Sumi and Kotone Montagne.

The currently romanceable Confidants are: Yaoling Li, Motoha Arai, Tomoko Noge, Yuumi Shiina, Ayaka Sakai, and Miyu Sahara. Information posts have indicated that Kotone Montagne will also be dateable, and YUI may also have a romance route added later.

A romance route can be started at rank 15. Pursuing a romance with a character alters the rewards you receive from the last few ranks of their Confidant, and also turns the UI for their Confidant page pink and heart-themed. If the Confidant isn't romanceable, or the player chooses not to date them, the UI instead turns blue and star-themed.

Merope, strangely, takes on the UI change from dating a Confidant even though she herself isn't technically dateable (note the rewards in her second screenshot are marked with stars, not hearts). While a choice isn't even given as to whether or not you want to date Merope, Wonder seems to be considered as being in a relationship after reaching rank 15 with her.

An item was added to the game that allows players to swap whether they're romancing or befriending a character after initially making that choice. The associated rewards are also switched by using this.

Motoha, Tomoko, Shun, Kiyoshi, Ayaka, and Masaki are available after school, while Merope, Yaoling, Kayo, and Miyu are available in the evening, and YUI, Yuumi, and Kira are available at night.

Ruferu is currently the only Confidant tied into the story.
