me

Unknown purpose.

201

(I don't think my bond with %s will deepen just yet...)

A message seen in Persona 5, where it relates to raising individual confidant ranks. The "%s" would be replaced with the character's name. In Strikers, the confidant system is replaced by the BOND system. This specific message is used when you are prompted to engage with a confidant in an event that will not result in a rank up.

202

(I feel like my bond with %s will grow stronger soon...)

Another confidant message, this one being used when you are prompted to engage with a confidant in an event that will result in a rank up.

203

(I don't think my bond with %s will grow any stronger...)

Another confidant message, this one being used when you are prompted to engage with a confidant in an event when you have already reached the max rank.

204

A new event, "Shibuya Ramen," has been added.

A message with an unknown purpose. It may be referring to the event where you eat ramen with Ann and Ryuji before the trip, though the event is never "added" to anything.

651

Insufficient phantom dash gauge!

A message that suggests the Phantom Dash ability has a gauge, which it does not.
