- Main article: Mementos Requests
The requests in Persona 5 involve stealing the hearts of corrupt individuals. In order for a quest to be unlocked, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts need to find the true name of their target, and look for their Shadow in Mementos.

They are often delivered by Yuuki Mishima, but some can be found while working on part-time jobs, and some can be obtained as part of certain Confidants, which are necessary to fulfill in order to progress the respective Confidant's Rank forward.

Other times, they are personal requests made by members of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to enriched their cross-country experiences to deepen their bonds and use the request channels to make it official.
Most requests can be completed as many times as needed, with a different reward offered for all subsequent undertakings, but certain real world requests will go unfulfilled once the Phantom Thieves leave a city for a different Jail.
Requests can only be accepted, canceled and turned in while outside of a Jail.
