Social Link

From Megami Tensei Wiki: a Demonic Compendium of your True Self

Social Links (known as Community in the Jpn. version) 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 Protagonists receives when he fuses Personae of that Arcana. By completing a Social Link, it unlocks the ultimate Persona of that Arcana. 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.

[edit] Role in Persona 4

Social Links plays a larger role in Persona 4, where the Protagonist' Social Links with his friends are directly related to their battle factor. For example, a level one Magician Arcana Social Link allows Yosuke Hanamura to take a mortal blow for the Protagonist that would normally kill him. Maxing out the Magician Arcana Social Link transfigures Yosuke's initial Persona, Jiraiya to Susano-O, granting improved elemental resistances.

Margaret would also advice the Protagonist to balance his time of venturing in the Midnight Channel and his time of spending with his friends, as Social Links is what create the Protagonist's 'World'. Later, the Social Links created by the Protagonist with others plays an important role in the True Ending route.
