Social Link

This section is a stub. You can help Megami Tensei Wiki by expanding it.

Reason: The Social Link information was compiled from the Persona 4 The Golden: The Complete Guide. It is missing:
- PS2 P4 availability schedule, rank up points, dialogue options & points (if different)
- P4G evening hangout dialogue
|
In Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, Ai is the Moon Social Link. The protagonist meets her by establishing a Strength Social Link by joining a sports team (soccer or basketball), then ranking it up to 4, at which point Ai joins the sports team as the manager. After maxing her Social Link, she gives the protagonist her Compact which allows you to fuse Sandalphon.

Evening Hangouts
In Golden, on certain dates, you can hang out with Ai in the Central Shopping District during the evening. Which hangout you get is prioritized as follows: Limited > 1st time > 2nd time > generic. This resets every month. Afterwards, you will receive a random item. See the items list below to see what possible items you can obtain. For more about evening hangouts and point multipliers, see the Social Link mechanics page.
