I neglected to mention that Bebe is unlocked by spending time with the old couple and Tanaka is locked until you get Maya to rank 4. Akinari also requires Maiko rank 3 and rank 4 knowledge! I added these as a caption and a card to make sure you don't miss that information!
Maybe i'm wrong, but i think tanaka is also locked behind the hermit social link, as after she mentioned getting insulted by him, makoto mentions he could find him in the mall
Tanaka is locked by Maya, you need to do Maya to get Tanaka, I’ve went through a majority of the game without seeing Tanaka however the moment I get Rank 4 Maya I immediately unlock Tanaka
Just finished my first play through Hiragana was on rank 2, Fuuka was Rank 3, and Aiges was rank 9. The main thing I did wrong was I finished the social links outside of school too fast because I always happened to have the arcana for them at the time. I was so pissed in January when there was that huge stretch when NO social links were available. I’m glad the later games made it so most links were available whether school was open or not.
You should probably mention you need to do Ken’s link story as well or you won’t be able to craft Michael who is needed to make Metatron who is needed to make Telos.
You have to hang out with him when his link episodes are available. Same with Junpei, Akihiko, Koromaru, and Shinjiro. You'll know if you see a blue circle with two exclamation marks above his head or on your map. If you take too long you're locked out for the rest of the playthrough.@@АнтонТрошкин-ч5щ
Finished a NG 100% SL Merciless run following the Power Pyx guide and I have to say my top recommendation is to have the right arcana persona in your inventory for every SL events even when you're just hanging out or paying for shrine visits. Almost messed up my run by not having a Priestess persona for Fuuka during the dead air between SL ranks. This game is very strict especially in comparison to P5 since you've only got a week or less of leniency to max social stats and SL's on a NG playthrough.
@@PuertoRocPrime You're only given about 2-3 days of free time to fix mistakes if you're following the guide to a tea. The first few Tartarus visits are crucial to get enough of a upstart cost to pay for social stat farming and personas for social links for the rest of the run.
I’m glad I stumbled on this video. I managed to complete all social links/linked episodes and fuse Telos on my first playthrough. I didn’t think I could do it (without NG+ no less) but the advice you gave about prioritizing your classmates first is soooo important. There are plenty of times in game when you can’t hang out with them so getting them done when you can is a must. After finishing my first playthrough, I can safely say that it is definitely possible to complete all links without NG+, but you need careful planning. Another piece of advice I would give is to max out your charm and courage as quickly as possible so you can start Fuuka and Yukari’s links as early as possible (especially Fuuka). Ranking up Charm and Courage is faster than Academics
Your tip for the dating website and shrine might have saved my run lol. I felt like I screwed up some social links in the early game but now that I have nothing to do at night I can save social links with the website haha
Talk about a vid when I really need it lol. The most stressful part of Persona is maxing every Social link. I was hoping I could Platinum the game in one playthrough, but I'm in the last month and I have one social link I couldn't max. I'll have to do another playthrough. Kind of a shame, I was hoping I could route a playthrough that 100% everything. I bet I could actually make it happen tbh if I routed it out a bit better.
This is gonna be the first time I don’t use a max walkthrough for the game lol, I would usually use one because 80+ hours wont take me a couple weeks anymore, at this rate it will be months, but I want to reexperience the game the way it was intended those many years ago. Plus with all the additions I think I can do it pretty easily after watching these tips as well
the dying young man and mmo girl were the slowest at least they were almost always available on sunday. the old couple and gourmet king and rival athlete also luckily were available alot
First persona game and I almost did them all but messed up not realizing that should’ve done the school social links first instead of the night ones. So close but oh well.
I almost had it, until the very last month until the end of the world. I was stuck in that 30 day time loop, where no matter what, I wouldn’t be able to max *ONE* of my links. Not focusing on the Moon, while I have school links to do next time.
I really f'd up my run. I was focused on Aragaki. I didn't know how long winter break was, and so that stretch from Christmas-Jan8th completely screwed me over. I'm gonna miss maxing out Bebe & Hiraga, which sucks cuz I really wanted to Max out all the SL's before NG+ 😭I should've saved the old couple's, because they were available for most of that stretch, but not the students. Oh well, get O!Telos will have to wait for my next playthrough. Least I've got max social stats this time, but its just tedious since you've gotta wait till January to get Telos cuz of the Aeon SL
There are some Slinks you should prioritize while on school break. Like Moon/hermit, hiero, Star ect. There are also others you can do while testing is going on. I got Mitsuru ranked 1-7 in a testing week haha. Most of the school Slinks are tough because they are locked behind school.
As this is my first persona game and it’s overwhelming as is I’ll just take my time and try to max the characters I like on my first playthrough since I’m in September
@eSixty I'm almost done with maxing all social links Star Temperamence will be fully ranked soon and then Chariot as well rest social links are fully maxed.Just Mitsuru and Aigis left
I'm using a guide but its still pretty though since you have to clear tartarus in 1 night and early game its hard without the SP recovery items. I imagine its still viable on the first run since it's not as strict as the original game.
Another thing to note you do not need to rush every single Sunday and holiday to complete maya. I’m at may 31st and I’ve gotten to rank 7 without using the current Sunday to push her to 8. Kamiki also does not come in until August 9th so this leaves a lot of Sundays available for use. Sometimes on Sundays your links will call to hang out and these hangouts can be used to get them ready when they are not ready. For example on the 31st of may Yuko will call to hang out and once you get her to rank 4 she won’t be ready to rank up even if you brought a compatible persona to her rank 3 and answered her favorable dialogue both of which gave you 1 note. This date is the perfect date to get Yuko moving forward again since she gets stopped so early.
They made maxing out a lot easier in reload. In FES, I think you have around a 5 day error margin across the entire game. In reload I was super careless. Wrong answers everywhere, only realizing very late that you can boost social links at night on the computer(great way to spend your nights after maxing Mutatsu and Tanaka), did my non-school social links during school(always prioritize your school links), did non-social link activities sometimes during afterschool/daytime(a waste). Despite this, I still finished the game only 7 total levels short of maxing everyone. I would guess that you can probably max everything (except Aigis) by late December/early January. I was thinking of doing a new run where I see how fast I can max all the non-Aigis social links.
I guess I won't get them all in my first playthrough. Everyone says "focus on the school links" but even with all questions right and having a matching persona, the the school links keep hitting instances where they don't have enough approval to reach the next milestone. I can't use the shrine because that's no different than hanging out with them. I'm in July and outside of a few days at the start of the game, I've never had a truly "free" day where I could waste time at the shrine. And hang out with people on Sunday? Why would I do that? Every guide says Maya needs to be focused on and she's only available on Sunday. I'll see where I end up. If I don't get all of the links I'll be disappointed. This isn't the type of game I'm going to want to play twice.
i had the same issue it seems almost impossible on first try to max all out bc theres too many days wasted cus ppl in school are just not available often you need to know wich ones you can save up for when theres school break ugh....
I had Fortune social link at rank 3, Temperance social link at rank 4 and Aeon social link at rank 2 on January 12th. I am NOT getting orpheus telos on my first playthrough 😭
I made the fatal mistake of neglecting the school social links. I'm just gonna have to accept that I won't be getting that platinum trophy any time soon. New game + and the fast forward feature should make light work of a second playthrough though, if I decide to do it
Social episodes really messed me up. I just planed SL as in FES, but then I learned that episodes unlock personas, and suddenly I was 4 days short. I wonder how many of them could be delayed to Sunday or summer break or exam week.
@@alexmaganda5827 I did get everyone eventually, the trick is: you need to ignore story events and holidays activities, like not going on New year's date, and doing SL instead.
Question:Do you need to equip the persona of the arcana or is it enough to have it in the slot?? Like if I'm doing hermit social link so do I need to equip the hermit persona or is it enough to have it in the slot??
With regards to the 'don't hang out with people who won't rank up' - from my understanding this means additional points are required, but don't the alternatives to hanging out, to boost points, also take up a time slot? So in any event, you may as well hang out with them for additional points?
Not unless you don't have a better choice, which I why I said to use the fortunes/dating profiles on days where you have nothing else to do or won't rank up with anyone else. That day can be spent hanging out with someone who will rank up.
Great Video!!! what about jealousy issues regarding Female S. Links?? also in the video it says to prioritize Strength, Justice, and Emporer because you can't hang out with them in the summer. Does the same apply to the wheel of fortune and temperance?
Quick question how do I manage and maintain not wasting a day from hanging out with sees group and doing their social events and also still be able to max out the social links? how do I manage without wasting a day hanging with them in the dorms and stuff? Because some of them are available after school (for example like koromaru, Aragaki, ryoji etc) so I have to miss out on hanging out with the confidants that day. ( I hope I asked this question right 😅)
I was following a guide that told me what to do each day. There was a few minor mistakes in the guide. One said to do something on an evening that wasnt possible because the game skipped that evening. Somehow I ended up behind in Fuuka's social link. Not sure if i made a minor mistake or if it was the guide.
@@KDThreeSixty This one was for Reload and was being written as I was playing the game. I'm sure the old game guides dont say to use theurgies or mention link episodes.
this was my first persona game and for the spring semester i would barely do any social links i would only do character episodes and grind my social levels, it wasnt until the last of the 12 shadow bosses that i started to grind out social links. Im currently weeks before fighting nyx and I have started no social links with the main cast
Some of the persona are locked: Elizabeth quests max link episodes example: walking with Kuromaru etc. some persona requires at least 2 max social links to do a fusion of the best persona of each arcana There are also 2 hidden ones: Orpheus Telos and Messiah that are story locked 🔒
I am definitely gonna give the PowerPyx guide a try. I am on my 2nd run currently and i came to realize that i messed up big time. I'll be using that guide in NGP and hopefully it works, cuz i want Telos sooo bad. So i just follow the PowerPyx guide to the letter and i should get everything?
Since you’re playing NG+, increasing your Personas’ stats is a good substitute for increasing social stats (unless you're playing under “Merciless” difficulty which resets all social stats).
How exactly is spending time with someone who won't rank up a waste of time if using the computer and drawing a fortune both also take time? Does it give you less points?
The point is to use it when they’re not available and there’s no one else you gotta hang out with. The dating profile is amazing for that because you can max night SLs super fast
Is there enough time in a playthrough to do episode links as well? Or does it not matter if I'm playing ng+ and I did all of them on my first playthrough.
If you dont have enough points in their link they wont rank up. You only want to hang out if the text says “i think we will get closer soon” that means it will rank up. If it says “we wont get closer even if i spend time with them” that means it wont rank up and you need to get more points by either hanging out on sunday or using the naganaki shrine to boost their points until it says you will rank up.
You should be fine, a new game plus I was the same thing and I got everything. Just prioritize this people in school.Try to get all the people done outside of school by the 8th month.So then when you go back to school you can just finish all the people in the school and you should be fine
please i need help!!! does the trophy require to have all of the social links maxed at the same time ? or can i load back my save to max all the s links i didn’t have time to max and not max the ones that i maxed before ? because i do not want to start a new game it will be so long
First blind run I’m a week away from nyx I’m dying man is at 4 and mitsuru is at 5 . Fuck my life I was so close to!!!! Why the hell is aegis only in the last month !!!
(First playthrough) So I've been looking everywhere for some concrete answers on this because i heard bebe link will be locked if you dont start in semester 1. Question is, what social links are completely unavailable if you dont start them in semester 1 all of them ?
If you’re worried about bebe start spending time with the old couple until he shows up. You’ll want to spend time with people at school during the spring because they won’t be available for summer vacation.
Low key probably gonna just drop the game I enjoyed it but dam did I mess up a lot it’s not like p5 and that really messed me up especially since the game doesn’t tell you that after October getting social links done has become a skill problem
@@KDThreeSixty I think I’m just gonna enjoy the game for what it is since I do like it and I’ll just see what links I can finish up since I bought the game on sale and same with the expansion pass. Whatever link I missed I’ll just go to UA-cam and watch it there since I don’t care for the platinum.
Dont spend time with ryoji at all he is useless because of him I lost maxing all arcana by 1 day only aegis was left and she was at rank 9 and for some reason on the last few days the game decides you can’t meet her in school
@@KDThreeSixty I cant rewind that far The only problem is ryoji don’t ever spend time with him, he is useless, rather spend it maxing arcana. Aegis can’t be spent time with because the days were not enough and this is coming from someone who didn’t waste a single day and always spent with people choosing the persona of their arcana. Like I said ryoji is the problem don’t spend time with him he eats up days which are crucial cause you need only aegis and 2 more arcana in the last 30 days.
I’ll ask since I can’t get a straight answer, but I couldn’t get aigis’ S-link to start for some reason, and I don’t really know why Supposedly, you just have to talk to her, but my dumbass protag was like “if only she acted more human...”
@@pinglefinglethat's the thing, the s-link guides i've looked at said I could start in august it's december and she still didn't talk to me before she died
@@razor4790I kinda don't have a choice but to spoil it so sorry. . . . . . . . . . Aigis didn't die. Idk why your guide says August but she can only really be started in January and that's the last playable month of the game.
Best way to get money (and exp) is by talking to fortune teller for increased gold hand appearance then keep skipping floor till you see one. Once you reach the end teleport to lower floors and repeat

Quick question how do I manage and maintain not wasting a day from hanging out with sees group and doing their social events and also still be able to max out the social links? how do I manage without wasting a day hanging with them in the dorms and stuff? Because some of them are available after school (for example like koromaru, Aragaki, ryoji etc) so I have to miss out on hanging out with the confidants that day. ( I hope I asked this question right 😅)
Almost October . In my game. We'll see how it turns out.
Otherwise ill happily run thru this game again.
Love the positivity
I was following a guide that told me what to do each day. There was a few minor mistakes in the guide. One said to do something on an evening that wasnt possible because the game skipped that evening. Somehow I ended up behind in Fuuka's social link. Not sure if i made a minor mistake or if it was the guide.
A lot of online guides have been using info from the older games that doesn’t work in this one.
@@KDThreeSixty This one was for Reload and was being written as I was playing the game. I'm sure the old game guides dont say to use theurgies or mention link episodes.
this was my first persona game and for the spring semester i would barely do any social links i would only do character episodes and grind my social levels, it wasnt until the last of the 12 shadow bosses that i started to grind out social links. Im currently weeks before fighting nyx and I have started no social links with the main cast
You’ve been locked in with those activities!
I cant max out the old couple social link😢
@@pablosanmartin3303 did you rescue the old man from Tartarus?
I had to finish the game 3 times Before I maxed out all my social links. Max social link leaves no room for error. I had 2 days left
Yeah I’m surprised they still kept it as strict as it is.
im on my second attempt and im going to do the guide lol
I also streamed my last run if you want to just copy what I did
Question: When is the Note available that allows you to increase Social Link Points?
From day one you can go to the naganaki shrine and use the fortune draw at the right to increase social link points but it uses a day.
Dating site note unlocks in november or december iirc
November 15th
November 15th
I beat this game before it came out, booom.
I made it max all social link by first run and not ng+, it's rng for me but I still not unlock all secret persona
Oh and please always rescue people in Tartarus, two of them is your social link (maiko and kabuchi)
Some of the persona are locked:
Elizabeth quests
max link episodes example: walking with Kuromaru etc.
some persona requires at least 2 max social links to do a fusion of the best persona of each arcana
There are also 2 hidden ones: Orpheus Telos and Messiah that are story locked 🔒
I am definitely gonna give the PowerPyx guide a try. I am on my 2nd run currently and i came to realize that i messed up big time. I'll be using that guide in NGP and hopefully it works, cuz i want Telos sooo bad.
So i just follow the PowerPyx guide to the letter and i should get everything?
Since you’re playing NG+, increasing your Personas’ stats is a good substitute for increasing social stats (unless you're playing under “Merciless” difficulty which resets all social stats).
You should be fine
Wait, I though both devil & sun don't require persona, since they don't need point at all.
That's correct.
That’s actually something that I was not aware of
How do I find the dying young man ? Hanging out with Maiko we meet him and I swear he said he’s at the shrine on Sundays but he never shows up
Available after August 9th
Sundays after August 9th
Finished the game, but in the NG+ my social mini will be reset ?
@@amarys_off2656 Yes
So if the protagonist doesn't play the line "i feel i might grow closer soon" then i should neglect them until it says that?
Yes, try to get those points some other way like drawing a fortune or using a dating profile during your free time
For new game +, are you able to select a whole new name for the protagonist? Thanks !
Yes
Kind of a bummer when i realized social stats and personas dont carry over
They do carry over unless you go to merciless difficulty
Is there a way to get the dating profiles earlier in the game?
@@lucazz0841 no
shrine and dating web trick really helps a lot.
Glad I could help
How exactly is spending time with someone who won't rank up a waste of time if using the computer and drawing a fortune both also take time? Does it give you less points?
it does
The point is to use it when they’re not available and there’s no one else you gotta hang out with. The dating profile is amazing for that because you can max night SLs super fast
What do i do about maya then can't advance her rank without probably wasting a day
If she won’t rank up on a hangout day then you either need to use the shrine or the dating profiles
Ight bet thanks brodi don't have dating profiles yet finna use the shrine @@KDThreeSixty
Is there enough time in a playthrough to do episode links as well? Or does it not matter if I'm playing ng+ and I did all of them on my first playthrough.
Someone said they managed to do it with one day remaining
Which social links don’t help u rank up ?
If you dont have enough points in their link they wont rank up. You only want to hang out if the text says “i think we will get closer soon” that means it will rank up.
If it says “we wont get closer even if i spend time with them” that means it wont rank up and you need to get more points by either hanging out on sunday or using the naganaki shrine to boost their points until it says you will rank up.
im in august and still havent unlocked the dying guy?? i even have maiko and all my social stat maxed out (im on ng+ btw)
He’s available starting august 9th every Sunday
Can you do an instruction how to fuse all the persona needed for orp telos? Like asura?
Sure thing, expect it tomorrow
Thankyou big help!
1:33 why do people hate on kenji so much like leave my boy alone💀
I got to end of December and was still off by 3 social links. any other tips?
You should be fine, a new game plus I was the same thing and I got everything. Just prioritize this people in school.Try to get all the people done outside of school by the 8th month.So then when you go back to school you can just finish all the people in the school and you should be fine
Kinda sux only finding this out now. I’m pretty new to persona but is it a big deal getting all of them?
No unless you're going for 100%
If you are all max out you just go
please i need help!!!
does the trophy require to have all of the social links maxed at the same time ?
or can i load back my save to max all the s links i didn’t have time to max and not max the ones that i maxed before ?
because i do not want to start a new game it will be so long
You have to do all social links in one playthrough. If they’re not all maxed in one playthrough, the trophy will not pop.
@@KDThreeSixtyok thanks
It's important to do the episode like akihiko or aragaki and ken for the throphy of the max social links ?
No but if you want to complete the compendium you need them
I'm near at 31/1 with only 2 SL not max, i can develop them in February or i have to Replay all the story? Ahahaha if so i'm literally end crazy
1/31 is the last day.
@@limppickle4306 ok, i'm fucked. 💀 ahah so i need a 2nd run
First blind run I’m a week away from nyx I’m dying man is at 4 and mitsuru is at 5 . Fuck my life I was so close to!!!! Why the hell is aegis only in the last month !!!
(First playthrough) So I've been looking everywhere for some concrete answers on this because i heard bebe link will be locked if you dont start in semester 1. Question is, what social links are completely unavailable if you dont start them in semester 1 all of them ?
If you’re worried about bebe start spending time with the old couple until he shows up. You’ll want to spend time with people at school during the spring because they won’t be available for summer vacation.
I think Bebe SL can start anytime as long as you meet him in old couple SL during 1st semester . I started his SL in November after summer break
Does this information help with FES?
@@TheArtist-v2j FES is a lot more strict
Do i need a personas for the Lovers and Empress?
Yes
My only goal is to max all S.E.E.S SL, can it be done with a normal run without using any guide ?
Oh yeah that’s easy, but make sure you check out my social stat guide cause the girls require each one of your stats to be maxed
@@KDThreeSixty Ok thank you ! I will do that
Need recipe for physical Thanatos with vorpal blade and victory cry 🙏
I’m gonna have to do this on ng+ unfortunately
It can be pretty stressful on the first playthrough, tbh
Played the entire game just to miss agis arcana by a single day
I’d be pissed 😡
@@KDThreeSixty pissed man I almost cried and then I got pissed
ty bro
Glad I could help
So i maxed everyone out do you get it after defeating nyx?
No, just go to the velvet room and you'll get the colorless mask that lets you fuse Orpheus Telos
You forgot about Bebe
Check pinned
Very helpful!!
Glad I could help
Low key probably gonna just drop the game I enjoyed it but dam did I mess up a lot it’s not like p5 and that really messed me up especially since the game doesn’t tell you that after October getting social links done has become a skill problem
That's fine, I think Persona games don't give enough incentive to do new game plus to be honest
@@KDThreeSixty I think I’m just gonna enjoy the game for what it is since I do like it and I’ll just see what links I can finish up since I bought the game on sale and same with the expansion pass. Whatever link I missed I’ll just go to UA-cam and watch it there since I don’t care for the platinum.
Does it apply to the older ones like psp
No
Oh man but Ty for telling me
How is your lobby so. Accurate is that a mod
Huh???
Damn dude you're rich, 2 mil!!! I'm over here playing poverty simulator every day ;-;
Farm hands my brother
Dont spend time with ryoji at all he is useless because of him I lost maxing all arcana by 1 day only aegis was left and she was at rank 9 and for some reason on the last few days the game decides you can’t meet her in school
You didn’t rewind?
@@KDThreeSixty I cant rewind that far
The only problem is ryoji don’t ever spend time with him, he is useless, rather spend it maxing arcana.
Aegis can’t be spent time with because the days were not enough and this is coming from someone who didn’t waste a single day and always spent with people choosing the persona of their arcana.
Like I said ryoji is the problem don’t spend time with him he eats up days which are crucial cause you need only aegis and 2 more arcana in the last 30 days.
are there any consequences for romancing multiple girls in reload like the original?
Actual consequences? No, but there’s special tartarus dialogue
I’ll ask since I can’t get a straight answer, but I couldn’t get aigis’ S-link to start for some reason, and I don’t really know why
Supposedly, you just have to talk to her, but my dumbass protag was like “if only she acted more human...”
It will unlock as the story progresses
@@pinglefinglethat's the thing, the s-link guides i've looked at said I could start in august
it's december and she still didn't talk to me before she died
@@razor4790I kinda don't have a choice but to spoil it so sorry.

Aigis didn't die. Idk why your guide says August but she can only really be started in January and that's the last playable month of the game.
It unlocks later
Well time to another new game plus😶
how’d you get so much money
I farmed gold hands, I got a guide for it.
Best way to get money (and exp) is by talking to fortune teller for increased gold hand appearance then keep skipping floor till you see one. Once you reach the end teleport to lower floors and repeat
@@e3vL1 damn i’m over here farming the reaper
whys ur intro that im new to ur channel and it sounds so self-deprecating its kind of a turn off
I was just saying that I had no right to call anyone a loser 💀. I rarely make jokes about myself
@@KDThreeSixty okay idk if its just me but-
you have like a fat voice and when you say something like “whatsup losers” as your intro to all your videos with an anime girl on screen,
to me it seems like you’re self-deprecating that you’re a loser and expect to attract losers like you with your content..
thats what i think subconsciously when i hear it but i could be off base.
so thats why i was asking, i meant in general.
