Social Link

Social Links are an important gameplay mechanic that appears in Persona 3, Persona 3: FES and Persona 4. Each Social Link represents a single Arcana, and raising a particular Social Link increases the experience bonus the Protagonist (Persona 3) receives when he fuses Personae of that Arcana. By completing a Social Link, it unlocks the ultimate Persona of that Arcana. This feature is called Community in the Japanese version of the game. Social Links, can however be reversed if players does not spend time with the respective people holding the Link, ending up in booking to holiday invitations in one day, or gave an improper answer during their conversations. The reverse effect will also continue to last until the protagonist reconcile with the. At some point a Social Link can even be broken, prohibiting the Protagonist from fusing the respective Personae from the respective Arcana.
