<>>=====[Author's Notes][AN1]==============================================<<>
<>>========================================================================<<>
0. READ THIS SECTION BEFORE YOU CONTINUE ON TO ANY OF THE SOCIAL LINK SKITS!
1. First and foremost, this is NOT a guide in how to get Social Links. There
are plenty of other great guides on GameFAQs that go into that. This is
simple a script for the dialogue in the Social Links.
2. Second, I HIGHLY suggest you complete the Social Links in your own game
before reading the skits in this document. The game has a better atmosphere
in getting the theme of the skit across. I compiled this script mostly for
those that are curious what the NPC has to say for the other options given.
3. Persona 3 gives you the option of naming the protagonist. I've decided to
use the manga name, Minato Arisato [First, Last], for all the skits. So
when you find "Minato" or "Arisato" in any of the skits, replace them with
whatever first or last name you chose in your game.
4. This game script only contains the optional Social Links. Since the Fool,
Death, and Judgment Social Links are obtained automatically, they will not
be included in this FAQ.
5. There have been some minor editing and some censoring in the skits. Several
typos and small grammar errors were fixed. Any errors that I felt would
have altered the meaning of the sentence were left untouched. The censored
words in the scripts are not censored in the game.
6. Summaries are posted are the beginning of the skits. They gave a brief
description of the entire Social Link. If you do not want to be spoiled, do
not read them.
7. Please read each of the [Author's Notes:] at each beginning section of a
Social Link. These notes may provide detailed explanations in order to read
or understand the skits correctly.
8. How to read the skits:
I've tried to keep the skits as close as possible to the dialogue in the
game. Each line of dialogue in skits found here are the same as the
dialogue found within one box of dialogue in the game. Simply put...
One line [in FAQ] = One box [in game].
The reaction of the NPC varies depending on your choice of reply. I have
seperated each choice into different sections within the skit. When the
option of picking a reply is avaliable, simply decided what you would like
to answer and scroll down to that section.
9. Anything that is within brackets ([Example]) in any of the skits are not in
the game. Those are my notes to help readers understand the skits better.
So pay attention to them when they show up. For example, [Scroll down to
continue] means that you should scroll down until you see the line with
[Continue] on it to continue the skit normally.
8. Please read each of the [Author's Notes:] at each beginning section of a
Social Link. These notes may provide detailed explanations in order to read
or understand the skits correctly.
10. Please direct all errors found within the document or any comments to my
e-mail: personatdh@gmail.com

<>>=====[Magician Social Link][MSL]========================================<<>
<>>========================================================================<<>
Summary:
Kenji is one of the first classmates to hang out with you. After gaining his
trust, you learn that he has a crush on one of his teachers at Gekkoukan.
Eventually he decides to ask her out, and is successful (in his mind).
However, Kenji's love is eventually crushed when both of you find out that the
love between the teacher and student was simply a misunderstanding. Kenji is
crushed, but is grateful for your friendship.
Author's Notes:
The [Magician Social Link] is the first Social Link you gain in the game. You
receive the first level automatically; however, you do not have to continue
past the first level if you don't want to.

> Iwatodai strip mall, ramen shop "Hagakure"...
Kenji: *slurp* *slurp* *glug* *glug*
Kenji: ...Whew! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!
Kenji: ...Well, was I right, or was I right? This ramen tastes great, doesn't
it?
Kenji: I bet they put a special ingredient in it--something no other ramen
shop uses.
Kenji: It's probably some sort of secret spice...
Kenji: ...Oh, sorry. My bad.
Kenji: I get all geeked up when I eat here.
[Choices:]
- "I agree with you."
- "Shut up and eat."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["I agree with you."]
Kenji: You do? Really? I mean, you can appreciate the subtle yet distinct
flavor of the soup?
Kenji: ...Wow, you don't look like the type of guy I'd normally hang around
with... But I guess looks aren't everything.
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["Shut up and eat."]
Kenji: Yeah, man, you're right. If we talk too much, the noodles will get
soggy.
Kenji: ...It's just that by the way you're savoring your soup, it seems like
you really appreciate its flavor.
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>=====[Continue]=========================================================<<>
Kenji: ...By the way, man, I hear you and Yukari are close.
Kenji: Damn, boy, you move fast! I mean, you just transferred here.
Kenji: ...I can't blame you, though. A man's gotta be aggressive nowadays.
Kenji: Hey, let's hang out after school again sometime.
Kenji: We'll get some food and I'll tell you about my secret plan... Wait
'til you hear it, dude. You're gonna flip!
> Kenji seems to like you...
> You have become friends with Kenji.
> ...!?
> A mysterious voice rings in your head.
Magician Card: Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a
Persona of the Magician Arcana...
> You have established a new Social Link!
> It's getting dark out...
Kenji: What, it's already nighttime? ...Damn, I missed my favorite TV show!
Kenji: Man, you're one serious dude... Oh well, let's get going.

> Contrary to its simple appearance, the soup has a complex flavor that is
accentuated by the noodles...
Kenji: Hey, dude, your dorm's co-ed, right?
Kenji: So, can you, like, go into Yukari-san's room and stuff?
[Choices:]
- "Of course."
- "No."
- "That's a secret."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["Of course."]
Kenji: ...No way! Really? Dude, you're so lucky.
> Kenji seems to be jealous of you.
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["No."]
Kenji: ...No, huh? Yeah, that's what I thought.
> Kenji is grinning.
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["That's a secret."]
Kenji: Whaddaya mean it's a secret? Are you trying to say that there's nothing
going on between you two?
> Kenji is grinning.

<>>=====[Continue]=========================================================<<>
Kenji: Well, I'm not interested in girls her age, anyway.
Kenji: When it comes to women, I like them to be older than me. What about
you?
[Choices:]
- "I like older women."
- "I like girls my age."
- "I like them all."
<>>-----[Choice 1]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["I like older women."]
Kenji: No way! Really!? There aren't many guys our age who like older women!
Kenji: Man, you're cooler than I thought...!
> Kenji seems happy...
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 2]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["I like girls my age."]
Kenji: ...Psh, you don't know what you're missing man.
Kenji: Older women are smart, sexy, and sophisticated.
Kenji: Damn, dude. I thought you'd understand.
> Kenji seems a little sad...
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>-----[Choice 3]---------------------------------------------------------<<>
["I like them all."]
Kenji: No really! Really? So you don't discriminate, huh?
Kenji: That's awesome. Good for you, man.
> Kenji seems impressed with you.
[Scroll down to continue]
<>>=====[Continue]=========================================================<<>
Kenji: ...Well, to tell you the truth, I--wait, this is just between us,
okay?--I have my eye on someone.
Kenji: This is the "secret plan" I was talking about. I'm going to ask her
out.
Kenji: Not that that's a big deal or anything. Well, I guess it IS a big deal
since she's a teacher at our school...
Kenji: Anyways, I want you to be there when I ask her out. But you gotta
promise you won't tell anyone, okay?
Kenji: Cuz if people find out they'll be all like, "That's inappropriate" or
whatever...
> Kenji told you his secret plan...
> Your relationship is stronger now!

> A mysterious voice rings in your head...
Magician Card: Thou art I... And I am thou...
Magician Card: Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create a
Persona of the Magician Arcana...
> The Classmate Social Link has reached level 2!
> Your power to create Personas of the Magician Arcana has grown!
Kenji: Damn, dude! My favorite TV show is on! Laters!

Ramen Shop Owner: Anyways, if ya want to know the recipe, sorry, I can't tell
ya, lady.
Ramen Shop Owner: Without our secret recipe, we'd be outta business.
Mitsuru: Well then, if it's a secret, I completely understand. You don't have
to tell me.
Mitsuru: Now, this would be considered a meal if one were to eat it with rice,
yes?
Mitsuru: That is very interesting.
Ramen Shop Owner: Uh, no, that's not, uh...
Mitsuru: You could probably make more money if you patented the recipe and
sold it.

Mitsuru: Interesting... So, "takoyaki" doesn't consist of an entire octopus,

Summary:
Hidetoshi is not well-liked among the Student Council. He's not afraid to name
anyone a suspect in the recent smoking crime. As you hang out with him more,
you notice that you're the only one he confides to. Eventually, one of the
teacher suspects you of smoking. Hidetoshi defends you and decides to change
his personality to be more friendly to others.
Author's Notes:
Mitsuru automatically asks you to join the Student Council. You do not have to
if you don't want to. If you do, go to the Faculty Office and agree to join.

accident."
Hidetoshi: But when a magazine learned they were hiding something, the execs
pointed the finger at the script writer.
Hidetoshi: They said it was the writer who had concealed the truth; he was
made into a scapegoat.

taught me the meaning of sincerity.
Hidetoshi: In today's society, the weak are preyed upon by the strong. You
can't survive on sincerity alone!

Summary:
You are the only one who knows about Kazushi's injured knee. As practices go
by, his injury gets worse. You learn that he wants to win the nationals for
his nephew no matter what the damages are. The team eventually learns of his
injury and force him to rest and heal. Kazushi realizes what a burden he would

Summary:
Yuko doesn't really care too much about her future when you first meet her.
On one of your dates you meet several kids that have been thrown out of the
playground by older students. The only way they can get it back is winning a
race against them. Yuko decides to coach them. The kids tie with the older
ones and are allowed to go back to the playground. The coaching makes Yuko
realize that she wants to be an athletic trainer in the future.
Author's Note:
The introduction skits will continue to repeat until you pick the correct
choices to advance further. You need to do [Chariot Social Link] at least two
times before you are able to establish the [Strength Social Link].
I also altered the skits a little. There will be certain parts where [Sport]
is replaced in the dialogue. Replace it with Swimming, Track, or Kendo,
depending on whichever you prefer.

Summary:
Maya is the first (and only) player you meet in the MMO you're playing. Upon
chatting with her for a while, you find out she is a teacher at your school.
She reveals all the stresses of her single life to you. The online game is
eventually shut down, but Maya leaves you a loving message before you two
part ways.
Author's Notes:
You must have first received the "Innocent Sin" MMO game from Junpei first
before you are able to establish this Social Link.

The Game Screen: Spring, the year 20XX...
The Game Screen: You have 1 message.
The Game Screen: From: "Phil."
The Game Screen: Reality is just a series of events and players acting out
what they believe is real.
The Game Screen: When we accept that fact, our world becomes "reality."
The Game Screen: Reality is but a reflection of our thoughts and expectations.
The Game Screen: ...But, what if we were merely reflections in another's
mirror?
The Game Screen: Are you prepared to look through that mirror to discover the
truth?

Summary:
Keisuke is the son of a doctor. His life was laid out step by step by his
father since his childhood. Though his father wants him to take over the
family hospital, Keisuke doesn't want to keep being ordered around. Keisuke
eventually decides to be a doctor, but it is out of his own desire, not his
father's.
Author's Notes:
Similar to the [Chariot Social Link]. This S-Link takes place in either the
Music, Art, or Science club. The skits located here will take place in the
Art Club.

Fuuka: *chuckle* He always acts like this.
Keisuke Hiraga: Thins are going well... Fuuka-san decided to return to the
club, and now we're getting a new member.
Keisuke Hiraga: Maybe I should stay club leader for a little while longer...
Fuuka: Hey, Keisuke-senpai, you're a senior, right? You must have finals
coming up soon, huh?

your head?
Keisuke: ...Can you describe the pain? Is it dull? Aching? Throbbing?

he'll go to medical school and become a doctor.
Keisuke: So the pain is emanating from the back of your head?
Keisuke: ...Please turn around.
Keisuke: What you're suffering from is known as a chronic tension-type
headache, most likely a result of stress.
Keisuke: You must be spending too much time in front of the computer. You
should get outside and exercise more.
Keisuke: ...That advice must sound funny coming from the leader of the Art
Club...
Fuuka: Oh, I thought I might have come down with the flu or something...
Keisuke: Well, if you're worried about that, I should perform a more detailed
examination.
Keisuke: Please remove your shirt, open your mouth, and stick out your
tongue...
Fuuka: !?
Fuuka: U-Uh, that's okay. I'm fine! Anyways, my dorm is close by and my dorm
mate Minato-kun is here.
Keisuke: You guys are dorm mates!?
