Can you romance Ryoji p3p? Does Persona 3 punish you for cheating?

If you are playing as the female protagonist in Persona 3 Portable, you can romance Ryoji, the mysterious transfer student who joins Gekkoukan High School in November. Romancing Ryoji is tough. You will automatically begin the social link on November 9th, after which he can be found during the day outside Classroom 2F.

He will also constantly try to hang out with you — never refuse him. You need to max out his social link before December 31st, or else you will miss the opportunity to date him. Ryoji is a charming and flirtatious character who will make you feel special, but he also has a dark secret that will affect your relationship and the fate of the world.

If you are playing as the male protagonist, you cannot romance Ryoji, but you can still befriend him and learn more about his backstory. However, Persona 3 does not punish you for cheating on your other girlfriends, unlike Persona 4 and Persona 5. You can date multiple girls at the same time, and they will never find out or confront you about it.

The only downside is that you might feel guilty for breaking their hearts, especially if you care about their stories and personalities. Some of the girls you can date as the male protagonist are Yukari, Mitsuru, Fuuka, Chihiro, Yuko and Aigis.
