Part of what makes the Persona games so appealing is the bonds you can form with your allies, getting to know them on a deeper level, and unlocking bonuses as a result. P5X’s Synergy Bonds are just that, so you’ll want to get stuck into bonding with your friends as soon as possible. 

As P5X is a live-service gacha game, there are still plenty of confidants still to be added though, so we’ll run through all the people you can form bonds with in the current Western version of the game and how to unlock them
