Revision as of 21:35, 9 July 2020
"But today, you entered a partnership with someone who awoke to the same power, haven't you? Involving yourself with others is an important foundation for your recovery. You've done well. That said, I am not advising the formation of superficial relationships. It must not be of frivolity, but a ring of those who would, by morals or faith, lend you their strength. In other words, they are bonds with those who have been robbed of their places to belong. The expansion of said ring will, in return, help you mature as well."
Confidant, known as Cooperation (コープ, Kōpu)? in the Japanese version, is a game mechanic in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.
This mechanic is almost identical to the Social Links of Persona 3 and Persona 4 and involves the protagonist building relationships with helpers around the city. Unlike Social Links, however, establishing and improving relationships with Confidants also provides various benefits outside of Persona fusions, many of which can be used in battle. Furthermore, only the events that start them and the ones that maximize them are voiced, with the exception of the Fool, Magician, Justice in Persona 5 and Judgement Confidants, as they progress with the story.
Appearances
Role
Persona 5
Similar to Social Links, each relationship with a certain character (or possibly a group) is represented by a major Arcana, and ranking up each Confidant grants bonuses to Personas of correlated Arcana: Experience bonus for fusion result; shorter in-game days required for training a Persona in Velvet Room to learn a passive skill for overcoming its weakness. Ranking up each Confidants also unlocks a new ability or benefit which directly affects performance in Palaces or otherwise opens up massive conveniences in day-to-day activities.

Trivia
- The game's internal data reveals that it was possible to reverse (called "doubt" in this game) and break confidants, just like in Persona 3 and Persona 4. However, it seems to be intended only for non-party member confidants with the exception of Fool, Hierophant, Strength, Moon and Judgement.[1]
- There are also unused files that represent ignored phone calls on all confidants save for Fool and including World despite the World Arcana not being represented by any Confidant.
- Unused dialogue also indicates that it is possible for a Persona corresponding to the Arcana of a doubted or broken Confidant to be fused, unlike in previous installments where they cannot be fused at all.
- Doubted Confidants will prohibit the protagonist from getting its benefits, while broken Confidants will prohibit any Personas of the Confidant's corresponding Arcana from getting Arcana Burst.
- With the exception of those directly affiliated with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, and the Fool and Strength Confidants, any Confidant that becomes maxed will eventually discover the protagonist as a Phantom Thief, due to them revealing the names of those they are troubled by to him.
- The Sun Confidant is different from the other Confidants, as while he does learn the protagonist is a Phantom Thief based on observations, he was never troubled by anyone enough that they needed to have their heart stolen.
- In Royal, four characters have their confidant portraits changed during certain events in the story.
- When Caroline and Justine become Lavenza, a portrait of the latter will replace the former.
- During the Third Semester, Akechi's portrait will change to give him a more stern face.
- When Sumire accepts her true self, Kasumi's portrait will be replaced by Sumire's.
- Kawakami is seen with her maid outfit, but it is unknown what circumstances change it.
- For unknown reasons, the Confidant menu refers to some Confidants by a descriptor title instead of their actual name:
- Igor is known as the "Prison Master".
- Caroline and Justine are known as the "Twin Wardens".
- Sae Niijima is known as "Prosecutor".
- Chihaya Mifune is known as "Fortune Teller".
- Shinya Oda is known as "Skilled Gamer".
- Unlike the rest of the Persona installments, the Tarot Cards which are used to symbolize these relationships are written in French instead of English, as they are based on the Tarot of Marseilles deck. The only exception is Death, which is also unlabeled in Tarot of Marseilles and referred to as such.
- There are, however, alterations to the Tarot Cards' original designs:
Arcana | French | Focus of illustration/Alteration |
---|---|---|
0 Fool | Le Mat | A traveler bitten by the dog. |
I Magician | Le Bateleur | A magician performing a bloody experiment. |
II Priestess | La Papesse | A priestess reading porn. |
III Empress | L'Impératrice | An empress sitting vulgarly. |
IV Emperor | L'Empereur | An emperor smoking tobacco. |
V Hierophant | Le Pape | A hierophant doing a thumbs down. |
VI Lovers | L'Amoureux | The cherub is not focused on the center figure. |

XV Devil | Le Diable | The man and woman are tied to the devil instead of the pedestal. |
XVI Tower | La Maison Dieu | Arrows raining down on the tower. |
XVII Star | L'Étoile | A maiden drinking water from one pot instead of pouring the content onto both water and land. |

XIX Sun | Le Soleil | A sun drying out the living things on the land. |
XX Judgement | Le Jugement | A skeleton folding its arms like an "X" instead of praying like the other two people. |

Unnumbered Faith Arcana (True) | La Foi | The Popess is now held by a pair of slaves. |
