Like in Persona 5 Royal, you also need to develop your Social Stats in Persona 3 Reload. Although you may want to ignore this mechanic and focus on grinding in Tartarus, you should level up your Social Stats. This is because some Social Links are locked behind certain levels, and you cannot access or progress their Confidant before you reach it. In this guide, we will explain how you can increase all Social Stats and max them before the end of the game.
