After ranking up to 5, kindness only gives +2 even with the hiero. arcana.
Rank 9 phonecall “you were always a family” gives +3, or at least with a hiero. persona
For Rank 9 Confidant Dialogue “You have a great daughter.” Should give +3
For the phone conversation in rank 3, one of the +2 responses is “I’m ready to work,” not “I’ll do my best”
Rank 9 sojiro, “Are you crying?” Gives 0 points
p5r rank 10 there’s no second choice
rank 9 p5r, third choice in the phone call will give you +3
Rank 4 phone call- Understood 2 pts
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.
Rank 1 last dialogue is “got it”, I’ve gotten 3 points for it.
Rank9 2nd questions says all choices are +3.. but i asked Sojiro if he was crying and then i got +0
rank ten the first option still is thank you it gives 3
Rank 1, 4th choice is the 1st option that says ‘Got It’ for the 2/3 points ^_^
On Rank 5’s 3rd choice, it gives you +2 instead of +3. I had the corresponding persona as well.
Some of the answers give less points, the list is incorrect.
Please look into this and fix it soon.
you have a corresponding persona?
Rank 8: “I was just protecting futaba” gave me +3 (in P5R)
