Requests in Persona 5 Strikers are your optional side quests which you receive when you talk to people while exploring each city. Completing these requests will earn you various goodies, such as money, items, and bond points; be sure to keep an eye out for them. It’s also important to note that if you proceed to the next city before completing certain location restricted requests, you won’t be able to finish it.
