How Does Romance Work?

Increase Synergy Levels

Synergy Levels
You must interact with the characters and complete their Activity in the City Life menu to increase their Synergy Levels to get the option to romance them. You can romance specific characters listed in the Synergy Menu, learn their preferred gifts, and prioritize your bond with a specific character there.

You can also get various rewards for increasing Synergy Ranks.

How to Get All Synergy Gifts

Set Your Synergy Priorities

Persona 5 Phantom X - Priorities
Make sure to assign your favorite characater as first priority by using the Prioritize This Bond button in the Synergy window. Assign which character the game will focus on on the different times of the day so you can quickly gain points with them.

Increase Synergy with Outing Events

Increase Synergy with Outing Events

Keep a look out for special activities that include spending time with a specific character. Going on outings will raise your Synergy with that character.

Unlock More Through the Story and Side Missions

You can unlock more people as you progress in the story and complete side missions. You can tap on the locked ones to see the mission where you can unlock them on the upper right corner of the screen.

Romance Multiple People

Progress in the Story to Unlock More

You can choose to romance multiple people at once (known as the Harem Route), but it may come with some consequences with your relationship with them. You might lose the chance to romance a person once they get in conflict with one of the people in your harem.

How to Reset Relationships?

Use a Turnaround Ticket

As soon as Version 2.2 goes live on October 9, you can now change that important decision on whether or not you will date a character using the Turnaround Ticket. However, do keep in mind that you can only do this one time per each character.

The upside of this is that you can get the exclusive cosmetics and emotes from the route you previously did not take!

Version 2.2 Patch Notes and Summary

Is Harem Route Available?

Harem Route is Available in Asian Servers

The Harem Route is available on the Asian servers like China, Taiwan and Korea. We are also expecting it to release on the Global and Japanese servers as well, once the romance options becomes available.

This does not have major consequences on the Asian servers, but it might change for the Global and Japanese versions.
