Requests are optional side missions that become available as you progress through the main story. They are typically given by your party members or other NPCs and can range from defeating specific Shadows to finding lost items or revisiting Jails. Completing Requests is highly recommended as they offer valuable rewards, including:
- Bond Experience: Essential for leveling up your Bond skills.
- Money: Crucial for purchasing equipment and items.
- Skill Cards: For customizing your Personas.
- New Equipment: Powerful weapons and armor.
- Key Items: Sometimes unlocking new recipes or features.
Requests are accessed via the 'Requests' menu on your smartphone. Some requests are time-sensitive, so pay attention to their deadlines. Many requests involve revisiting previously cleared Jails, often with stronger Shadows or new objectives. Always check the recommended level before attempting a request, and ensure your party is well-equipped. Some requests are crucial for unlocking new Personas or advanced fusion options in the Velvet Room. Don't neglect them!
