Mementos Requests are a mechanic in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal.

Profile[]
Persona 5[]
The requests in Persona 5 are side missions taking place in Mementos, some of which are needed to progress Confidant Ranks. After finding out a target's name in the real world, the Phantom Thieves can find and defeat the target's Shadow in Mementos in a boss fight to make the target have a change of heart. Doing so will reward the group with an item.
Aside from the first mission, "Beware the Clingy Ex-boyfriend," which acts as a tutorial mission, other missions are received through Yuuki Mishima's chat messages, certain Confidants or certain part-time jobs. Due to plot reasons, the missions can only be accessed up until December 23rd.
Unlike mini-bosses in Palaces, bosses in Mementos follow the same turn order rule that regular encounters do; the combatant with the highest Agility goes first and so on.
Several Mementos bosses are susceptible to the Confuse ailment. This exploit is one of the fastest methods to obtain money in Persona 5. The amount of money a boss can discard correlates with the currently equipped Persona's Luck stat and the boss itself; bosses in the later stages of the game drop higher values. For example, the bosses in the first three paths that are confused with the spell Pulinpa by a Persona with Confuse Boost and the maximum Luck stat of 99 can drop random amounts between 107,000 and 140,000 yen per turn.
Some of these targets can be seen or interacted with in the overworld and outside of cutscenes. Yumeko Mogami can be seen recording and stalking a student at Shujin Academy, Yohei Kiritani appears as an unsuspecting beggar at the Shibuya Station and Shiro Asakura can be seen harassing a woman in Shinjuku before and after his heist request.
Persona 5 Royal[]
While retaining all of the requests from the original Persona 5, several new requests have been added in Persona 5 Royal. Furthermore, if the conditions to progress the game into the third semester have been fulfilled, the requests can be done until February 1st although they cannot be completed during December 24th. Some of the new requests require the party to knock down their target or lower their health below half-full (in which case they will beg), then converse with them by correctly choosing dialogue responses to complete the request rather than defeating them, akin to negotiation. It is impossible to defeat them by reducing their HP to zero.
For the requests' targets that were located in the last Area of their respective paths, they will be confronted at Areas in the Path of Da'at instead of their original locations during the Third Semester if they were not done prior to December 23rd.

Trivia[]
- While Tsukasa (the playboy exploiting Eiko from Makoto Niijima's confidant) had his Shadow Self confronted in the form of Anzu in the anime, Shadow Tsukasa is not found in the game itself.
- Unused dialogue in Persona 5 indicates that there are more Mementos requests intended than in the final game (although some of these have beeen restored in Royal). [1]
