Linked Episodes act as Social Links for the male party members in Persona 3 Reload; here each date they are available.
Persona 3 Reload adds a lot of content that was not in the original game, with one of the more noticeable additions being Linked Episodes. While Persona 3 Portable added the female protagonist route that included Social Links with the male party members, it was not possible to experience these social links as the male protagonist.
While not full social links, each of the male party members in Reload has Linked Episodes. Each character has five Linked Episodes that build on one another and need to be completed on the one day they are available; otherwise, any further episodes with that character will disappear.
Persona 3 Reload: Best Endgame Personas
With enough character levels and Social Links, you can create some of the best Personas in Persona 3 Reload.
Can You Miss Linked Episodes
Unlike Social Links, Linked Episodes can be missed, and should one rank be missed, any future ranks won’t appear on their later dates. That being said, some Linked Episodes are more lenient than others. Koromaru, for instance, gives players most of the game to complete his ranks, with new ones being unlocked on the latter-mentioned dates. However, missing a hangout will still leave it available in the coming days.
Linked Episodes with Akihiko are much less forgiving and are only available on the day they are unlocked and never available again. Linked Episodes should always take priority over any other use of time to ensure they are never missed, as other Social Links can be completed later without issue. Should a recent Linked Episode be missed, the Rewind feature can be used to go back and make sure it’s completed before the deadline.
