Breakingthegreen Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I've seen the thread for the best ally in battle, but I thought it would also be interesting to find out peoples' opinions on the whole cast is. You could pick the best confidant on their story, personality, rewards you gain or even a combination of those or other factors I've forgotten. Personally, my favourite for story is Yoshida the politician. Best for rewards is Yuuki and Kawakami. But my overall favourite is Takemi.

OdysseyPS Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Iwai had my favorite story but unfortunately his confidant gave the most useless perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 F to the T connect it with B. Igor Anyway, since Kawakami is so incredibly useful, I'm biased towards her being best non-party member confidant. But Yoshida is pretty damn good as well.

Eraezr Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hifume. There's something refreshing about hanging out with someone who's not in your main social circle. Well, Makoto made a dent on this that one time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightin_August Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Kawakami is the most useful when it comes to perks, by a long way, followed by Hifumi and Shinya. Takemi was my overall favourite and the one I looked forward to hanging out with the most, followed by Sojiro and that pimp hat he rocked so stylishly.

Nihiris- Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Storywise, Iwai and Futaba were really good. Chihaya ended up being a really cool character, pretty underrated. As for usefulness for the non-party member confidant's bonuses for me: Must Haves Mishima (Exp bonuses) Kawakami (free time in class, will make tools, food/coffee, and laundry, massage to let you do night stuff after going to Mementos or a palace) Hifumi (switch out characters in battle and guaranteed escape) Chihaya (boosts Confidant ranks without wasting a day like Meji Shrine) Sojiro (SP items making it easier to complete palaces in a single day) Shinya (Literally Rank 1 gives you a guaranteed stun move essential for Treasure Demons and enemies without weaknesses) Nice to Have Iwai (modifications on guns are pretty useful) Takemi (Half off medicine and other helpful items Yoshida (Make it easier to negotiate or get more money from enemies) Useless Why Are You Even a Confidant Ohya (Lowers security ranks in palaces after you leave them) Unless you're going around palaces like this: You'll never have your security ranks more than 20% 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissShake Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) As far as non party confidants go my favorite storylines were Yoshida, Mishima, Sojiro, and Shinya. Party member wise I'm a fan of Akechi Haru, Yusuke, and Makoto's. But honestly I feel like you can't really go wrong with any of them, P5 had a very strong group of confidants.

Lilseb93 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) I enjoyed them all really. I particularly liked Iwai's and Mishima's stories the best. They were the most interesting to me. I also liked helping out Shinya. I liked his noob jacket and his development as a character. I also liked Sojiro's story because it was nice seeing the protagonist and Sojiro bond with each other as a sort of father-son relationship. Kawakami is the most beneficial one though.

Tora Chan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Kawakami provides the most useful social link benefit of them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Yuuki Mishima overall for me Really enjoyed his Story EXP Plus + same EXP for backups Daisuke Sakaguchi Followed by Yoshida-san - Perks + I am really rooting for this guy, did he win the election? IIRC he mentioned that he didn't but it looks like he did won at some scene in late part of the game Kawakami Sensei - Perks. It sucks though that consumable items don't carry over in NG+. I have lots of coffee and Curry Edited June 20, 2017 by JaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About usefulness, pretty much this ^ Also Hifumi and, imo, also Mishima exp based abilities (even if i don't really like the character).
