P5X Romance guide: Every romanceable character and how to become soulmates
By Ryan Woodrow
A big part of the life-sim elements of the Persona series, which Persona 5: The Phantom X uses, is the ability to romance a character of your choosing. Like the main series, not every confidant in the game is romancable, but there are a selection in the current version of the game that you can get to know on a deeper level.
We’ll explain how romance works in P5X, all of the characters that can be romanced, and a few other things you probably want to know.

How to romance characters in P5X
To romance an eligible character, you must reach Synergy Rank 15 with them, at which point the game will say that you can “become soulmates” with them. You can check each character’s synergy rewards to see if they’re romancable, as it will specify “soulmates”. If the reward instead says “become close friends”, that means that this character cannot be romanced in the current version of the game.
All romanceable characters in P5X
There are currently only three romance options in P5X. Here is the full list:
- Motoha Arai
- Tomoko Noge
- Yaoling Li
No other characters can be romanced in the current Western version of the game.
Can you romance multiple characters?
You can romance multiple characters at the same time, and in the current version of the game, there are no consequences for doing so. However, P5X’s story is still ongoing and will develop with every major update, so we can’t promise it will stay that way forever. Either way, it’s most likely that even if consequences do occur, they will be minor story scenes, like the one in Persona 5 that don’t have any major gameplay effects.
