Unlike Social Links, Linked Episodes are completely missable, if you put them off for too long, you may miss them for the rest of the game. Also, it's important to mention that they are the replacement to Male SL's in this game, or so I understood. Just be in the look out for them if you don't want to miss them.
They're mostly key rank-ups from the male party social links un P3 Portable.
Which is incidentally a CRIME that Reload decided not to bring back. Without spoilers and arcana-wise, right now they would be replacing the food gourmet and kenji's. Imagine arguing for these over party member social links on a design discussion for the remake.
@@coldDriveI can argue for them purely because the male party members not having social links meant P3R wouldn't fall into the same trap as P4 (and to a lesser extent 5)of using Social Links as a crutch for character development in the story
Shuji's entire camera footage scene summed up in one Spongebob quote:
"Oh brother, this guy STINKS!"
12:28 P4's was Naoki Konishi, Saki's brother. So yeah, family troubles seem to be what tie the 3 Hanged Man social links together!
Checked for the Persona 5 Hanged Man confidant (it was before it was said in the video), it was Iwai, the gun seller (family issues)
Magicians tend to be romanticizers, Hanged Man tends to have family troubles.
I wish to know more patterns, I never noticed this one.
@@DeadlyPL We haven't seen a lot of the P3 social links yet, but between 4 and 5 I've noticed patterns for almost every Arcana! Chariot is an athlete who loves meat; Lovers is a cute and bubbly girl who's usually nice; Emperor is a boy with artistic talent; Empress is a girl who's usually friendly but is terrifying when provoked; Priestess is a girl who's very calm and collected but, like Empress, can be scary when mad; Hermit is someone who's often alone but wants to help people; Justice is someone with daddy issues; Hierophant is an older man who's the protagonist's guardian; Death is a woman who blames herself for someone close to her being about to die; Devil is a woman who likes to tease, and who has a job that's stressing her out; Temperance is a middle-aged woman who's very down to earth; Sun (if you pick the music club in P4) is someone with big ambitions but little self-confidence; Moon is someone who used to be bullied and grew a desire to be the center of attention; Tower is a kid whose mom won't let him live how he wants to live; Strength is a pair who are always together during the events; and Fool and Judgment are both story-based and represent getting closer to the truth.
The only ones I can't find a connection to are Star (Hifumi & Teddie) and Fortune (Chihaya & Naoto)
Hangman arcana tends to deal with accepting of reality as it is and moving forward with a new perspective, while in reverse it represents a stubbornness to not let go of the past and to resist changes that could potentially better your life even if they don’t seem to be good changes at the moment. It’s about seeing things from a different perspective.
something that may help clear confusion in the long run, you can press x on the map screen to view town info, which will show which social links are available to rank up as well as other points of interest
you'll learn this soon if you haven't already, showing Elizabeth around doesn't consume your time. you can do it at any time during the day with no cost. i also think that's the icon on the map that you were confused about.
Lol I was legit screaming inside my head when they kept being so confused about what the icon could possibly mean, literally *one in-game night* after Elizabeth told them to show her around the mall
I can at least give Evan a pass, though, since he's sick
22:44 It's SUPER IMPORTANT to note is that these Link Episodes (social links replacement for Male Party Members) are missable, in fact, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE the moment they are available on that day.
So, if you miss one, say GOODBYE to future Link Episodes and other connecting ones. Also, you get an awesome Reward for doing them and completing 5 Link Episodes for each Characters.
That's not always 100% true, some of them even overlap when they're available. Still it is worth it to prioritize completing them as they will be missed after a certain period of time.
No, they’re not a one-time only thing. You’ll have multiple opportunities to partake in these Link Episodes, it’s just that if you put them off for too long and you end up realizing you missed one, you’ve now gotta wait for another opportunity.
Here’s where the party members will spawn for their Link Episodes:
* There’s 5 characters can be at the base of the staircase
* There’s 4 that can be standing next to the TV
* Then there’s 4 more that are looking at the bookshelf on the 2nd floor
* Finally, there’s 5 characters who will be sitting at the counter in the back of the Lounge.
* Also I believe 1 or 2 of your party members will text you and have you meet outside of the dorm for a Link Episode.
Link Episodes make your party members better (i won’t spoil how exactly), but besides that aspect of Link Episodes, they also deepen the characters and have some really sweet moments.
@@Messiah_AbelI'm pretty sure it was confirmed by developers that if you miss character's Linked Episode then you're locked out from the future ones.
As someone who has played through the entire game. I had days where I skipped linked episodes and they appeared again within a couple of in-game days. They are not locked if you skip one you just have to wait some amount of time before you can do it again.
The Hanged Man represents limbo, stagnation, or being confined to an unfair situation.
As others have told you, the male party members DON'T HAVE INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL LINKS in P3 (excluding P3P female route), though in Reload, they compensate it with Link Episode for them that is sadly MISSABLE FOR THE ENTIRE GAME if you don't do it the first time you get the notification/invitation/message from them. So, always prioritize them whenever it happens.
Sad to see you’re still sick, Evan. I know that these are recorded in advance, so I hope you’ve gotten better by now.
Illnesses are not welcome in the Dark Hour, and Happy Valentine’s Day.
Ohhh yeah I forgot they are recorded in advance although I don't think that much in advance because P3 Reload it's a pretty new game.
I also hope Evan gets better soon! 🙏🏻
Lol I was worried you weren't gonna talk to Elizabeth after you made that Persona she wanted. Good on you for noticing her!
Also, feel better soon Evan
Poor Masked man. I hope he wasn't sick *ON* V-day. that would suck! That's their special day until they get married! unless they already got married.
Something I like about the Linked Episodes over the normal S.Links is that they're given to you at specific points in the story. As such, they tend to be written with plot events that recently occurred in mind instead of what most party member links in other games do and ignore the plot entirely.
Reload does a ton of stuff to supplement the lack of social links for male party members and just how long it takes to start the female ones, so you won't ever feel like you aren't learning about the characters you have around.
Man, you guys already forgot about asking Elizabeth out during daylight hours the day after her request was available. That's some real goldfish brain going on there. I suppose Evan has the excuse of being sick...
Ironic that Evan got sick and wanting to leave Tartarus, it's exactly what the annoying Fatigue System was like in the PS2 version, the longer you stay in Tartarus, the most likely the party will get tired and the moment you come back to the entrance to fuse personas, THEY WILL LEAVE YOU FOR THE ENTIRE NIGHT AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR A FEW DAYS (BOTH SCHOOL AND TARTARUS)
Not including the fact that if YOU get tired, you have a chance to get sick, which wasted your days to recover.
Thank god the Fatigue System is removed in the remake!
lol Evan got affected by Tartarus!
Shuji's jokes could do critical damages on the Partners.
+ 100% AOE Distress
Felt like mentioning this but you will need 40,000 yen in total to start the Man in a Suit Social Link at Nighttime Paulownia Mall
One thing i noticed
If you don't see your team in the first 2 floors of the dorms, they are in their rooms and you can interact with them. Sometimes in special days they have convos.
*IX. THE HERMIT ARCANA - **_"Maya" / Saori Hasegawa_*
Portrayed as an old man in a dark place or cave or on a mountaintop at night, holding up a lantern.
*Meaning:* Wisdom, Introspection, Solitude, Retreat, Philosophical Searches.
*Personas:* Excelling in Mental Ailments. Usually hermit figures, otherwise figures or deities that exist and operate behind the scenes.
*Previous Characters:* Futaba Sakura (P5) and the Fox from the Shrine (P4).
*Character Personality:* They place themselves in situations out of the public eye, hiding away from others or acting in more supportive roles rather than putting themselves in the spotlight. They sometimes like using the Internet, albeit anonymously.
The MMO in P3's Hermit Social Link, Innocent Sin, depicts the Arcana's theme of escapism of how reality is shaped by one's thoughts and expectations, but also warns of self-reflection through personal observation of one's actions, describing the person who's currently interacting as "the reflection in another's mirror," specifically of oneselve's.
In Persona 3 (FES/Reload), the Hermit Arcana Social Link is represented by the online player "Maya" ("Y-ko" in the Japanese Version). Through Pixel's interaction with "Maya", he helps them to cope with the stress from their job.
In Persona 3 Portable's FeMC Route, the Hermit Social Link is represented by Saori Hasegawa and starts when choosing to join either the health or library committee.
The Hermit is also the Persona Arcana of [REDACTED] and, by extension, their Character Arcana.
Evan I hope you will get better soon! I pray for a fast recovery! ❤️ If you need to take a day off please do so.
Naoki Konishi was P4G, Hanged Man (who was Saki's brother) & Munehisa Iwai was P5R, Hanged Man (which you were right about, Ali!) Social Link/Confidants.
Sorry to hear about you getting sick, Evan. Wish you a quick recovery! Also hope Ali doesn't catch it! Maiko though is just so precious we must protect her! 💖
I just hope this is prerecorded so he wasn't sick on V-day. it's their special day until they get married, unless they already get married? I haven't been watching them the whole time so maybe I missed it.
So fun fact about the link episodes
They sometimes have stuff from femc's social links
Not all the time
That's all
Link episodes are missable. BUT THEY ARE BASICALLY SOCIAL LINKS but more spread out throughout the year.
Miss them and your fucked. If you want to see all the bonding eps for the guys on the team check the texts and always do them
Maiko is so cute and so precious! Protecc at all cost!!!
Her and Nanako must be protected at all costs. We must leave a smile on our favorite Persona kids!
@@TheUltimateRare I agree!
It really sucks bc I do like the male party member social links from Persona 3 Portable, but I really like the original social links. Having beat reload, I do think the male party member hangouts are a good happy medium.
Be careful with the linked episodes if you miss one you cannot do the next one 👀
I love how that recording of Ikutsuki is presented like he's being really suspicious, but all he's doing is making terrible jokes at nobody
He's still suspicious for making bad joke
Going "Sea-nile"
Ah, the surveillance camera recordings...something from FES.
EDIT: Ikutsuki's original puns
"Listen to the monorail in monaural"
"That was an engine-ous move!"
"One should always wear bright clothing at night...otherwise, the Shadows could make it dangerous to walk near traffic"
"Don't care for seafood? They could also serve GROUND beef."
in p4 it was the sad brother
same ol same ol familly problems
A planisphere is a kind of star chart with rotating discs that shows the visible stars at a given date and time.
I think a lot of the Female Protag's social links clear the Male Protag's. But that's just me. I just think not giving the male party members basically anything was a huge misplay. The link episodes kinda make up for that. Kinda. But the link episodes are sometimes very missable, unlike social links. You probably shouldn't wait too long to do a special episode. Or you might get locked out of other ones later.
Oh boy, what did Sushi do this time...? The Absolute creep.
You can press x when looking at the town map and it will tell you what is all at one location
The Linked Episodes are Reloads way of compensating for the OG P3's non male Party member SLs. What I really like about the Linked episodes is that they aren't just reworked versions of the FeMCs SLs of the party members. As someone who's about 80% through Reload the Linked Episodes have been a nice remedy.
Shuji truly is a man of mystery
Take it easy Evan, we all shall await your recovery.
Keep in mind you can press X on the map to see why the icons are there (social links, quests etc.). Just like in P5.
Happy valentines day to you Pixel Partners. Hope Evan gets better soon.
Happy Valentinesday from Germany! 🎉
Is it true that you guys have a different name for your version of V-day?
@@TheUltimateRare I don think so it's just "Valentinstag" so a pretty much the same.
Oh. really? those guys were wrong then. Thanks for letting me know.@@LusterCandy18
52:55
Hey, so not only are the value of social points obscure, but so are the amount required. If I vaguely recall, Charm has less of a required amount while Academics has more required points.
I wasn't looking at the screen so when Evan mentioned "Fullcallt" i was like "???" but then i heard "Pendulum" and I was like OHHH Foucault's pendulum
(It's pronounced "Foo-co" as in Foo Fighters and Co-op for anyone wondering)
Elizabeth.
The games at the arcade are cracked. They’re totally busted. I saw somebody get Lvl 4 Charm by this point using them. I highly recommend prioritizing them for stat upgrades.
Persona 4 Hanged Man was Naoki Konishji, Saki Konishi's bro.
Make sure to chevk the console periodically
18:11 Me- How about someone roll you in a carpet and throw you off a bridge?
4th joke: Song- Tell your boyfriend if he says he got beef, then I'm a vegetarian and I ain't effing scared of him
20:18 I was a nerd in science in school, now I'm a nerd in video game lore
24:14 Press X to doubt
(Later)
Oh, eff
31:08 Evan, quit saying the bad word
34:10 They should have happy meals on the menu, because she needs one now T_T
I wonder if Kaname Date would adopt another kid
Potantial!- 5
For real- 3 official + (13 by chance) = 16
Link episodes are MISSABLE, and they’re all SUPER IMPORTANT and certain options actually have an effect on the story (not saying what, but you don’t wanna miss any), and there's a secret scene if you do a certain Link episode at 11/7 and the next day bring the item that the linked episode concerned and give it to them at the dorm. I can’t say more about it, but I hope you can get it, I believe in you.
It's really a shame female mc isn't an option in P3 Reload. Ali would have enjoyed it IMMENSELY 🤭
I wish we got to see her in beautiful 4K! She's so cute!
@@TheUltimateRare She is literally sunshine 😭 Her social links with everyone is so wholesome. Plus actual social links/romance with male party members.
What exactly do you mean strange? Also I hope you get better soon Evan
if you wan tto see wha t the icon on the map is use the town info buttun
I am heavily neurodivergent so i understand where youre coming from, Ali. 😂
I miss Teddie and his puns…
Oho...?
Hi guys! did you two do anything special for V-day today? I hope you at least remembered it's a thing. Please take care. You still aren't married yet I assume? Well I hope you have a great time together in general.
