We’ve seen our fair share of social links that are different between the protagonists of , but there’s arguably no contrast more glaring between them than the Fortune arcana. The male protagonist will spend time in an extracurricular with Keisuke Hiraga, while the female protagonist will instead have a peculiarly specific schedule to follow in order to max out Ryoji Mochizuki’s social link before P3P’s endgame.

Regardless of their differences, though, spending time𓂃 with both characters will progress toward maxing your Fortune social link. For help picking all the best choices to do so, we’ve got you covered!

By nature of one of the characters covered, this social link guide contains massive spoilers for▨ end-game plot points from Persona 3 Portable.

Male Protagonist

Keisuke is undoubtedly the easier of the two Fortune arcana to establish. You can begin Keisuke’s social link on 6/17 when given the option to join a culture club after school.

To join a club, simply go to the room where the club meets. All clubs take place in the 1st Floor Near Clubs hallway, with Art and Music in the aptly-named Art and Music Rooms and Photography in the🧸 Science Room.

No matter what you choose, Keisuke will be present regardless. You then level up his social link mostly by attending club meetings.

Female Protagonist

Ryoji’s social link in P3P begins automatically on 11/9 and will level somewhat automatically as well. The crux of it is that the days you have to spend with Ryoji are specific.

Missing even one scene will lock you out of Ryoji’s social link.

It’s remarkably easy to pass up spending time with him in favor of someone else and doing so by incidental human error, so you’ll need to plan November very carefully to max him out.

Whenever you see Ryoji with the exclamation mark above his head, prioritize spending time with him above all else. It can be frustrating to pass up other social link𒀰s for him, but it’s necessary to maxing out his social lin💝k in time.

The good news is that he’ll rank up every time you hang out with him, so a Fortune Persona isn’t necessary. However, you’ll still earn more affinity for having one, so the choice is ultimately up to you.

Certain scenes will proceed on set dates automatically, but only as long as you’ve spent time with Ryoji leading up to that date.

We’ve broken down the progression of Ryoji’s social link for the female protagonist below, according to which dates you must voluntarily spend time with Ryoji that then lead to automatic rankings.

His social link is a hybrid of automatic and manual, so agreeing to see him when he invites you to do something or is able to spend free time with you is necessary to maxing him out.

Rank

Automatic or Manual

1

Automatic on 11/9

2

Automatic on 11/12

3

4

Manual trigger

5

Automatic on 11/19

6

Automatic on 11/22 (if you accept the invitation)

7

Automatically on 11/27 (if you accept the invitation)

8

Automatically on 11/29 (if you accept the invitation)

9 (Either Path)

Manual trigger

10 (Max)

Automatic on 12/31 (if you're at Rank 9 on 12/31)

So long as you spend time with Ryoji at every aforementioned opportunity, you'll max out your Fortune social link in P3P without problem.

The option to date Ryoji doesn't happen until your Rank 8 scene. Before this, accepting his invitations does not mean you're dating Ryoji, but it does lead to the option to do so.
