How to unlock the My Closest Partner achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide
Somewhere after rank eight I asked to hang out and she told me her friend was moving away. After some cutscenes I chose the speech option of "You said I love you"
Boom relationship, achievement and rank nine.
This occurred on the 26th of July
A "special relationship" is essentially a romance with one of the confidants. The following are the easiest to romance, as they have no pre-requisite responses needed prior to the Rank 9 hang out.
- Lovers Arcana: Ann Takamaki.
- Priestess Arcana: Makoto Niijima.
- Empress Arcana: Haru Okumura.
- Hermit Arcana: Futaba Sakura.
- Temperance Arcana: Sadayo Kawakami.
- Star Arcana: Hifumi Togo.
*MISSABLE*
This trophy entails forming a romantic relationship with a female confidant. Almost all of the female confidants can be dated in the game, with ten total. Usually this involves a choice during the Rank 9 scene of their Confidant lines, however some of the others have prerequisites in earlier rank up conversations that may lock you out of romancing that particular character if you don't pick that option.
Priestess Arcana: Makoto Niijima.
Empress Arcana: Haru Okumura.
Lovers Arcana: Ann Takamaki.
Hermit Arcana: Futaba Sakura.
Fortune Arcana: Chihaya Mifune (has prerequisites).
Death Arcana: Tae Takemi (has prerequisites).
Temperance Arcana: Sadayo Kawakami.
Devil Arcana: Ichiko Ohya (has prerequisites).
Star Arcana: Hifumi Togo.
Faith Arcana: Kasumi Yoshizawa (has prerequisites).
For the women that have prerequisites, you have to pick certain things at certain ranks to keep their romance options open:
Chihaya Mifune:
- During rank 6 scene, for the fourth choice pick 3: "You’re just Chihaya to me."
- During rank 8 scene, for the third choice pick 2: "Hell yeah, I am."
Tae Takemi:
- During rank 7 scene, for the fourth choice pick 2 or 3: "We all do sometimes" or "I’m glad you did."
- During rank 8 scene, for the third choice pick 1: "It’s for Miwa-chan."
Ichiko Ohya:
- During rank 7 scene, for the third choice pick 2: "You’re charming as you are."
Kasumi Yoshizawa:
- Reach rank 5 before 12/24.
The trophy will unlock as soon as the scene concludes where you begin a relationship with a Confidant. Invariably this will be after the rank 9 scene.
