New scenarios have been added throughout the course of the game called Link Episodes, separate from the [[Social Link]] system. Link Episodes provide additional background and interactions for certain characters that did not have Social Links in the original ''Persona 3'', such as male party members.<ref name="Link Episodes">{{Cite Interview|translquote='''Niitsuma:''' While you can deepen your bonds with female party members through regular Social Links, the idea behind adding Link Episodes was to provide episodes for the male party members as well. You can engage in Social Links at any time, but Link Episodes occur as the main story progresses. If you spend time with a character during a specific time, the next episode will follow. If you miss the first episode, you won’t be able to see subsequent episodes, so it’s recommended that you meet the character as soon as possible after he or she contacts you. / '''Yamaguchi:''' Since they are time-limited, you’ll be able to enjoy episodes that have a strong connection to the main story. In ''Persona 3'' especially, the characters’ emotions change significantly as the main story progresses, so the Link Episodes will allow you to interact with them during different periods. So please don’t miss out on this aspect as well.|url=[https://personacentral.com/p3r-developer-interview-theurgy-link-episodes-art/ Famitsu Interview Translation]|[archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20230927180336/https://personacentral.com/p3r-developer-interview-theurgy-link-episodes-art/ Famitsu Interview Translation (Archived)]|published=|retrieved=September 27, 2023|site=Persona Central}}</ref> While some plot elements introduced in later releases of ''Persona 3'' are present,<ref name="Famitsu"/> the option to play as the [[Kotone Shiomi|female protagonist]] from {{Link|Game|P3P}} is not included.<ref name="IGN">{{Cite Web|author=Logan Plant |url=[https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-3-reload-wont-include-content-from-fes-or-portable-including-the-female-protagonist Persona 3 Reload Won't Include Content from FES or Portable, Including the Female Protagonist] |published=June 11, 2023 |retrieved=June 12, 2023 |site=[[wikipedia:IGN|IGN]]}}</ref>''The Answer'' from {{link|game|p3f}} is not present in the base game, and was eventually revealed as DLC just over a month after the game's launch.
