  1. For the phone conversation in rank 3, one of the +2 responses is “I’m ready to work,” not “I’ll do my best”

  2. On P5R (not sure about vanilla), after getting rank 8, you can talk to Futaba to start request fight without roaming Mementos, but also without team (fight is pretty easy though). This will be considered as day action, but not as Metaverse action, so you will still have freedom of movement on evening slot. Also, level 9 in P5R gives “Curry tips” ability.
