Persona 3 Reload Will No Longer Have Broken Social links

According to a recent Famitsu interview with director Takuya Yamaguchi, Persona 3 Reload will no longer have a broken social link system, and will have a less severe reverse social link system. Persona 3 originally had a system which would reverse the social link with a character if they haven’t been interacted with for a long time or if the player provided wrong dialogue choices during important moments in the game. Reversed Social links could progressively get worse if not taken care of and could break, preventing the social link from progressing for the character for the rest of the game.  Persona 3 Reload will launch in early 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.Yamaguchi stated:

“In (Persona 3 Reload), the ‘Broken’ system has been removed. However, ‘Reverse’ can still happen, though the conditions have been made severely less strict. So simply leaving a Social Link character alone will not cause it to Reverse, as it did in the original version.”
