Updated on March 3, 2023 by Gabrielle Castania: Persona 5 Royal continues to maintain its well-deserved popularity in the hearts of all us Phantom Thieves, a domination that only continued on the heels of an October 2022 re-release that brought the game to several new platforms. As such, we wanted to dive back into some of our older guides on the game, like our guide to Yoshida’s confidant in Persona 5 Royal, to give them a bit of TLC, making them as accurate and easy-to-read as ever.
This article co🍌ntains slight spoilers for Persona 5 Royal.
How To Unlock Yoshida’s Confidant
Serving as the Sun confidant in Persona 5 Royal, you’ll first stumble upon Yoshida on 5/6 just outside of Shibuya Station.
Listen to his speech, and he’ll come to speak to you after he’s finished. The first trigger for Yoshida’s confidant is to tell him you want to learn more about his speeches.
From here, you’ll need to side-quest a bit to work two shifts at Ore-no-Beko Beef Bowl Shop.
In order to accept work at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ore-no-Beko, you need to have reached Rank 2 Proficiency. For help boosting your social stats in P5R, check out our guide to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:raising your Proficiency.
Yoshida will come speak to you after your second shift. As early as the following day, you can speak to Yoshida again in Shibuya Square to formally begin his confidant.
Yoshida becomes unavailable after 11/13. If🍃 you approach the deadli♔ne without maxing out your Sun confidant in Persona 5 Royal, Yoshida will send you a text to remind you.
If you do not max him out before this deadline, Yoshida’s confidant will freeze where it is, and you can no longer rank him up past where the confidant froze.
Your rankings with Yoshida will center around you helping him with his political campaigns. However, as the speeches take place outdoors, he's not available in poor 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:weather conditions.
