Persona 5 Royal Ann confidant guide: Lovers choices, romance & gifts

by RPG Site Staff on 20 January, 2020

Your classmates aren't just friends in Persona 5 and Persona 5 Royal - they're a lifeline in combat, and have a deep effect on every aspect of the game. It's important to get to know them through the confidant cooperation relationships mechanic - and one of the earliest party members and friends of Joker is the outgoing Ann Takamaki, who is filed under the Lovers arcana in P5.

The purpose of this guide is simple: if you want to get to know Ann better, we list every conversation you can have as part of her confidant cooperation, including the answers and choices you have in those conversations and how they impact your relationship. This will allow you to level up your relationship with Ann fast - and pursue a relationship with her as a romanceable character if you so desire.

We've got the same, detail-packed pages for every other character, too - just hit up our Persona 5 Royal Confidant guide, which covers every choice and romance in the game.

One of the lead characters of Persona 5, there's naturally a deep Ann confidant relationship to uncover - if you make the right choices.

Ann Takamaki Confidant Cooperation Guide - Lovers (L'Amoureux - VI)

Below is every rank and every conversation choice for the confidant cooperation with Ann Takamaki. The points you see next to answers refer to an invisible stat in Persona 5 - but basically, the higher this number is, the more your confiant rank will level up. We also plainly state when the time comes to pursue a romance relationship with Ann if she's your favorite.

The point totals listed to each question represent what will be added to the invisible counter that levels up your relationship with Ann if you choose that option. Any choices not listed are irrelevant, with options either adding nothing or all the same to your total. The phone calls are a Persona 5 Royal exclusive - you won't see them if you're playing the original game.

Don't forget that you'll only get the full amount of points listed if you also have a Persona of Ann's Arcana, Lovers, in your personal persona stock when you're hanging out with her - so always have a lovers beast to hand.
