by Chao Min Wu on 02 February, 2024

Any good shadow-hunting gang needs a navigator, and in Persona 3 Reload that's Fuuka - and of course, as a vital member of the heroic party you can get much closer to her with an S-Link friendship or romantic relationship. This page is a comprehensive walkthrough for the Fuuka Yamagishi social link, detailing all of the best choices to can make to advance your S-Link with Fuuka as quickly as possible. We also explain how to start the S-Link in the first place - as it's one of the harder ones to begin.

All of the social links that feature in Persona 3 Reload have been slightly tweaked compared to previous versions of the game, and as such this guide is only suitable for Reload. However, there is a Persona 3 Portable version if so required. On modern platforms in the newly remade game, this guide will guide you through the Fuuka S-Link alongside as one of our many social link walkthroughs and as a companion to our Max Social Link schedule guide.

Fuuka S-Link Guide - Priestess (Persona 3 Reload)

As well as being a vital member of the SEES team, Fuuka is one of the most prominent social links in the game - a romance option, as well as a key character for the protagonist to get to know. This guide features all dialogue options for all ranks of the Fuuka S-Link, the idea being that if you follow it, you'll be able to rank up and eventually max out the S-Link while wasting as little time as possible.

A little housekeeping: First, this guide is spoiler-free. Second, the point values listed alongside the dialogue options below are those you'll gain when you recieve the Arcana Bonus, which is attained by ensuring you have a matching Persona in your current Persona stock whenever you spend time with Fuuka. In this case, that means a Priestess type Persona.

Key Information about Fuuka Yamagishi

Available Days: Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, in the daytime.

Max Social Link Persona: Scathach

Fuuka's social link has one of the most grueling conditions to unlock. You need to max out your courage to start the social link, which often causes headaches in Max Social Link runs. You have to make a lot of compromises to max courage early enough to start the social link. For New Game+, it's not troublesome at all, though. As for the social link itself, it's relatively easy to max out. However, you'll need to wait until the fall semester to achieve this, as her Social Link starts in late June. Fuuka is available on many days, with only a few ranks requiring extra days to max out.

Unlocking Social Link

Fuuka's Social Link is one of the hardest to start. Here's what you need to know about how to start it:

Unlike in Persona 3 Portable, you will need to max out your courage social stat to level 6 to start this social link - making it similar to Persona 3 FES.
You will also need to unlock the Fortune Social Link with Keisuke by joining the Art Club at school. You only need to have it at Rank 1.
With these things done, from June 22nd you'll be able to strike up a conversation with and hang out with Fuuka, kicking off the S-Link.
