Ok just wondering how will they actually do social links, in the game its a process of events and then rank-up but I don't particularly see how that would work in the anime, randomly seeing the rank-up bar would be funny though, also wondering about how the other characters will gain their own ultimate persona's if they don't go through with the social link method.

In my opinion I think social links may be weaved into the narrative and no mention of ranking up will exist because I don't see it working in the anime, perhaps lots of events but no indication towards social link level, but when they hit the end something will happen, I only ask this because social links affect the persona the protagonist can summon, or do you think that will be omitted?

(P.S. First thread opening so I don't know if this OP is good or not :P)

They probably won't focus too much on less important/side character social links IMO, it'd be a waste of time, maybe a few screen time here and there.

Even then, if they do get into the main characters, I doubt there will be a sign that "Fool Arcana Social Link increased to Lv2!" pop up.

I assume, they'll probably do some of the mini/minor events/scenes that were more favored by players that happen within the social links of the main characters... maybe.

Ii wonder how the Sun Social Link will work though that one had two people, same for the strength social link but that one was kind of dual social linked anyways since both characters show up in the strength social links regardless, yeah RANK UP wouldn't work that well.

If they did go through with social links this anime could hit 52 episodes but that seems too long :S

I do hope they do the Nanako social link and the Ryoutaro Doujima link I liked them two.

I will say though I preferred the social links In P3 than P4's mostly anyways, I mean I loved Akinari's in P3, especially when you meet his mum after term ends and you see the people who you made max social links with, because it's so heartwarming :P

It would be quite disturbing to suddenly have some kind of music and text popping up to viewers telling them "I am Thou, Thou Art I"

But perhaps there would be visual effects, especially with the sparkly things and glows as in the game? Especially so for important points.

Romance has to be dealt with, too. This is the nature of Slink Maxing... unless the anime wants to show a bad ending.(I hope not!)

The bad ending would depress the crap out of me, I strangely never got the bad ending but it seemed strange that there were options that were trying to prove Namatame Innocent, so I had a go and I was luckily right, I then read on some forums about some so called bad ending and I was like.... huh?

Haha what would be better is Yu fist pumping after leveling a social link, or keeping a notepad to track how to level social links.... uggh so not used to calling him 'Yu' for me it'll always be 'Souji'

I wanna see the fusion of Persona animated it'll be kind of interesting :)

This.

I doubt they'll focus too much on Social Links to be honest.. ofcourse it'll mention them but they won't be a main focus.

I think they will just make the protagonist meet all the links and become friends with them, without mentioning the ranks and stuff. They don't really have time to go through every social link completely, anyway.

But... Will they add the Devil social link? lulz
And what about the fox? lmao

Yep, so far Kou and Daisuke personally talked to Yuu and Ayane was putting up posters for the Band. I'm hoping they go with Ayane rather than trying to put in Yumi too cause Drama-Queen Yumi was oh so annoying.
