USG: “The boys and girls of Persona 5 were always very good. I loved spending time with them all during my run through the original game—Ann, Makoto, Morgana, Yusuke, Futaba, Haru, and even Ryuji. In a game that’s based nearly entirely around socialising with allies to increase your bond with them, you damn well better love at least half the cast, or Persona 5 definitely isn’t the game for you.
Everyone knows what happens when you choose to spend time with your allies. You’ll have a perfectly pleasant conversation with them, casually delving into the demons that are haunting them, and basically advancing their own side story. But when you’re not with them, it’s like they don’t exist. I don’t have a clue what Ann or Makoto do when you’re not hanging around with them. I imagine Ryuji holes up in his room playing games 24/7 (or doing other stuff, considering how agitated he always is), but it’s never explicitly stated what any of the side characters of Persona 5 do when you’re not spending time with them.”
