[Video] The Confidants of Persona 5 – #8 Ichiko Ohya

The protagonists of Persona 3 and 4 were able to use the bonds formed with primary and secondary characters to boost the powers of their Persona’s during their creation – through a system known as “Social Links”. In Persona 5, this system has been replaced by characters known as “Confidants” – who will grant the protagonist special skill bonuses, useful services and more, the more he gets to know them. Ichiko Ohya is a journalist by-day, however doesn't mind enjoying a few drinks at the Crossroads Bar in Shinjuku when not followin a lead. A meeting with her sees the protagonist strike a deal with her - he provides her snippets of information on the Phantom Thieves and she will write articles about them. Not only is this good for the Phantom Thieves reputation, but she will also provide useful abilities which makes it harder for the security level to rise during Palace heists.
