Persona 3 Reload: Bebe (Temperance) social link choices & unlock guide

The Persona games are very rooted in Japan, but Persona 3 Reload does have one notably international element - the Bebe social link, which sees you get to know Japan-loving international exchange student Andre Laurent Jean Geraux - or Bebe, for short. Like your in-game calendar in Persona 3, Bebe's time in Japan is limited - but this Bebe S-Link guide for Persona 3 Reload has everything required to make sure that you rank up and max out this Temperance Arcana friendship quickly.

The Bebe Social Link tells the same story in Reload as it does in all the other versions of Persona 3, though it is important to note that the exact math behind-the-scenes and the dialogue is slightly different this time around. As such, this guide is specifically for Persona 3 Reload only - if you're playing an older version, hit up our P3 Portable Bebe guide, which will be much more accurate to that version. P3 Reload players can stay on this page - and should use it in conjunction with the rest of our comprehensive Social Link guides, and possibly with out 100% Max Link walkthrough if you really want to see everything in one run.

Bebe S-Link Guide - Temperance (Persona 3 Reload)

This guide features all the correct dialogue options for every rank of the Bebe social link in Persona 3 Reload. Why is this useful? Well, S-Links are still an RPG mechanic, and are controlled by a hidden stat that measures your friendship. As that stat rises, you rank up. Choosing to spend time with Bebe will add to that stat, giving you a chance of ranking up - but saying the right things during your hangouts can grant bonus points, which will make you rank up even more quickly. This guide will basically let you maximize your gains so that you can finish the Bebe S-Link sooner.

The numbers you see next to dialogue options below represent how many bonus points that answer gives you over the norm. The numbers include the Arcana Bonus, which is granted for having a matching Persona with you. For the Bebe link, this means having a Temperance Arcana Persona in your current stock whenever you spend time with Bebe. If you don't, you won't get the full points bonus. By the way, the rest of this guide is as close to spoiler-free as we could possibly make it.

The Bebe social link lets you get to know a foreigner - an exchange student. Here's everything to say and do to max out the S-Link vite, as they say in Bebe's homeland.
