Persona (PSP) How to recruit Reiji

A step by step on how to recruit the strongest party member Reiji for Persona (PSP)

Introduction

Reiji is a very powerful optional character in Persona that is important to the story. He is only available as a party member if you do the SEBEC Route during the main story.

In order to recruit Reiji into your group you'll need to complete a series of
steps, all of which take place during the Introduction of the game.

In this guide I will provide a short step by step with an exhaustive walkthrough below it.

Recruiting Reiji (Short ver.)

At Start of Game BEFORE Visiting Maki in Mikage Hospital:

1. Talk to the teacher in the 1F Teacher's Lounge; you'll find him next to the entrance/exit of the school.

2. Visit the empty classroom on the 2F to meet Reiji for the first time. The classroom that you need to enter is in the southeast portion of the map.

3. Speak with the male student inside Class 2-1.

4. Visit the convenience store at Joy Street and talk with Reiji's mother. Tell her that you know about her son and you will be happy to be his friend. Only speak with her one time!

5. Head over to the Casino inside of the same mall and talk with the blonde man here. You'll learn that Reiji likes to visit the Abandoned Factory.

6. Visit the Abandoned Factory to meet Reiji a second time; he'll leave immediately again.

After Completing Transformed Mikage Hospital Dungeon:

1. Visit the SEBEC Building and approach the guards blocking the road on the World Map. There will be a scene involving Reiji.

2. Refuse to let Brown, Elly or Ayase join your party when they ask to join.

3. After you finish the SEBEC Building you'll visit St Hermelin a second time; when clearing this dungeon you'll have a scene with Reiji. If you did everything right he'll join your party during this scene.

Recruiting Reiji (Long ver.)

1. As soon as the game starts with you outside of the Nurse's office, you
will want to turn to the north to find the entrance. From the school entrance
head to the classroom nearby. Speak to the teacher (pictured below) who
will ask you to find out who has been entering the sealed room on the second
floor.



2. The teacher mentions someone sneaking into an empty classroom on the 2F; visit the empty classroom in the SE portion of the map on the 2nd floor and you'll meet Reiji for the first time.

3. After meeting Reiji speak with the Male student inside Classroom 2-1 who will tell you about hooligans. Once you've done these 3 things inside the school you're free to leave.

4. Our next stop is Yin & Yan at Joy Street mall which is where you'll need to talk with Reiji's mother (pictured below)
Only talk to Reiji's mother ONCE (it messes up the quest otherwise) and respond with:
Answer 1: Yeah.
Answer 2: Sure.



5. Next visit the Judgment 1999 Casino which is inside of the same mall. Inside this Casino speak with the Blonde man (pictured below) who mentions a guy with a scar on his head.



6. Once you've seen this dialogue you must meet Reiji inside of the Abandoned Factory.



7. After completing the Transformed Mikage Hospital Dungeon you'll need to immediately go to the SEBEC Building for a scene involving Reiji. On the map outside of the SEBEC Building you'll find NPCs on the World Map which are colored red; approach either of these guys for the scene.



8. From this point onward if you want Reiji in your party all you need to do is refuse all of the optional 5th party members. Brown, Elly and Ayase will attempt to join your party and you'll have to tell all of them no.

If you messed up the Reiji quest then Ayase will force herself into your party when you have a scene with her at the Abandoned Factory later on. If this does not happen and you complete the SEBEC building with only 4 members, when you encounter Reiji later he will join you.
