Persona 3 Portable: Yukari (Lovers) social link choices guide
Yukari Takeba is arguably one of the most important characters in the world of Persona 3 Portable, and thus she’s likely to be a character you’ll want to get to know a little closer by leveling up her social link and increasing your bond.
As is traditional with these relationships in Persona, advancing your S-Link relationship with Yukari will increase your fusing abilities with the Lovers Arcana - and for the Male Protagonist, can also evolve into a romantic relationship, if you so wish. This guide helps you to say the right thing to press her buttons just right, whatever your desired outcome.
Yukari Takeba S-Link Guide - Lovers
The way this social link guide works is simple - it lists all 10 ranks of the Persona 3 Portable Yukari Social Link in as spoiler-free a fashion as possible, listing all of the choices that have a material impact on your relationship so you know what to say for those dialogue options.
Due to the way P3P is split, we list the dialogue choices for both the male and female versions of the Yukari S-Link. Only the male lead can start a romance with Yukari, and unlike in other Persona games there’s no ‘choice’ here - it happens automatically as you level up. There’s no punishment for having multiple girlfriends at once, either.
Persona 3’s social links are governed by a hidden stat that slowly rises as you hang out with characters. When this stat hits certain levels, your S-Link ranks up. Saying the right things or giving the right gifts garners bonus points - and in this guide, we show you what to say to maximize your earned points each time you hang out.
We only list the choices that have an active impact on your rank. If a dialogue choice isn’t listed, it has no effect. Furthermore, our numbers here include the arcana bonus - which for Yukari is achieved by having a Lovers persona in your current party when hanging out. If you get less points than we say, it’s because you don’t have a Lovers Arcana Persona with you.
- Yukari Takeba is available to advance her Social Link on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, in the daytime.
- Find Yukari in the 2F Classroom in Gekkoukan High School on the above days.
- If you want to give Yukari a gift, the best options are the ‘Brand Bag/Purse/Watch’ items, or Perfume.
After Yukari's taken care of, head back to our Persona 3 Portable Social Link guide hub and get help with the next character on your hit list.
