Persona 3 Reload: All romance options and how to start them

Just like the previous versions, Persona 3 Reload allows you to romance characters, so we’ll outline all the romance options and how to start them.

There are seven different romances you can foster throughout your playthrough, and each has its own unique Social Link (except for one).

All romances and how to start them in Persona 3 Reload

New to Persona 3 Reload is the ability to max out a romance option’s Social Link without being forced to date them. This means that you’re allowed to choose who you want to date and max out other romance options’ Social Links as friends at the same time. Let’s now dive into all the romance options and how to start them in Persona 3 Reload.

Yukari

• Social Link: Lovers
• Start date: July 25
• Prerequisites: Max Charm
• Romance Rank: Rank 6

Yukari is the first romanceable character you meet in Persona 3 Reload and is one of your classmates. You’ll have to wait until 7/25 to start the Lovers Social Link, as well as have the maximum Charm level.

You can find Yukari in Classroom 2F and hang out with her on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Once you reach Rank 6 of the Lovers Social Link, you’ll have the chance to start dating her.

Mitsuru

• Social Link: Empress
• Start date: November 21
• Prerequisites: Max Academics
• Romance Rank: Rank 6

Mitsuru is another member of S.E.E.S. and the student council president. As the Empress Social Link, you’ll have to wait until 11/21 to begin it, and make sure your Academics are at maximum level by this point.

Mitsuru will hang around the entrance to the Faculty Office on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Once you reach Rank 6 of the Empress Social Link, you can ask her to be your girlfriend.

Fuuka

• Social Link: Priestess
• Start date: June 19
• Prerequisites: Max Courage, begun Fortune Social Link
• Romance Rank: Rank 7

Fuuka arrives a couple of months after you start the game, and will become the navigator for S.E.E.S.. On 6/19 you can start the Priestess Social Link. You need maximum Courage, as well as having already started the Fortune Social Link (Arts club).

You’ll find Fuuka outside of the second-floor bathroom in Gekkoukan High on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Unlike the last two options, you’ll unlock Fuuka’s romance at Rank 7.

Aigis

• Social Link: Aeon
• Start date: January 8
• Prerequisites: None
• Romance Rank: Rank 7

This is probably the toughest romance to achieve, as you can only unlock it on 1/8. Aigis holds the Aeon Social Link, and luckily there are no prerequisites to starting it. She’ll be around Classroom 2F.

By Rank 7 you can initiate a romantic relationship with Aigis, your android party member. Although the relationship isn’t explicit, you can still share some intimate moments together.

Yuko

• Social Link: Strength
• Start date: April 28
• Prerequisites: Walk her home during Rank 2/3 of Chariot Social Link
• Romance Rank: Rank 7

Yuko’s Strength Social Link can only begin after you’ve decided to walk her home during another person’s Social Link (Track team). This can happen anytime after 4/28.

Upon reaching Rank 7, you can start your romantic relationship with Yuko, who’s the Track team manager. You’ll find Yuko on Wednesdays and Saturdays outside of Classroom 2F.

Chihiro

• Social Link: Justice
• Start date: May 28
• Prerequisites: Talk to her three times
• Romance Rank: Rank 5

The Justice Social Link is with Chihiro, one of the members of the student council. You may easily miss Chihiro’s Social Link if you don’t attempt to chat with her three times.

By 5/28, you can start this Social Link and by Rank 5 you’ll be allowed to start the romance path. Chihiro will be around the Student Council room on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth is an interesting romance option in Persona 3 Reload because she doesn’t require you to level up her Social Link to date her. You can romance Elizabeth after completing a certain amount of Elizabeth’s requests. You’ll then gain the option to go on a date with her.

While this isn’t a romance like the other characters, you’re still technically going on a romantic date with her. Just make sure to keep up with those requests, and soon enough you’ll get the option to take her out.
