On 6/21 evening, after seeing the 3rd boss for the first time with Makoto, Mishima text and asked if I want to hang out at a buffet event. It never happened in the first 2-3 times that I’ve played through. This event happened before I started going to the infiltration route for the 3rd boss.
For Rank 4, “I’m expecting it next” wasn’t an option for me. Pick “You’ll get better ideas” for +2 notes.
In Royal, it doesn’t even say that “you feel you can become closer due to *Moon Arcana Name*” Which makes me think they completely dropped the charade of his confidant being tied to affinity points. In case you don’t know, Mishima can only be progressed via doing the mementos requests that he gives you.
i would have an editor go through the whole game again and revise everything. there is too much incorrect or missing information.
“On 5/6, this dialogue will automatically start.”
It starts on 5/8.
For the 3rd rank it’s actually his Enthusiasm Which increases exp earned from battle.
For Rank 2 the phone response is incorrect. If you choose the “Good hustle” response you get +2.
This guide is bullshit. I followed it for Rank 3, and the good options earned me one point less each.
you need to have a moon persona in your personas to get the full points, otherwise you get one less (as you seem to have)
Wrong. Unless it’s changed from the base game, the Moon and Sun arcana social links advance due to various requirements, but advancement is not affected by having a persona of the right arcana. This means that even though you can get different numbers of notes for dialogue options, it doesn’t matter for ranking up. Guide should be revised. Unless this is really changed in Royal, but I doubt it.
Your assumption is easy to test.
made it… and you are false, moon persona do impact social gain for Yuuki Mishima.
you need to have a moon persona on you
You do not need a persona for Moon. As others have pointed out, rank ups are entirely based on completing requests in Mementos. Responses give different point amounts but you’ll rank up no matter what, if you’ve completed the necessary requests.
The bio for Yuuki Mishima could use some improvements on translation.
Yuuki Mishima is a strong supporter of the Phantom Thieves. Because he believes in their sense of justice, he will do anything for them. You initially meet him when Kamoshida begins bullying the students. After the whole incident, apologizes to Ann and the others for not being able to speak up when the acts were happening. Because of this, he hopes to make up for it by being their mediator for requests.
When he becomes the mediator, he’s the only one who knows the existence of the Phantom Thieves. Thus, he creates a website that helps the world discover who the Phantom Thieves are.
