10 Reasons Why Persona is One of the Best RPG Series Ever

Social Link System (P3, P4 and P5 Only)

First introduced in Persona 3, the social link system closely ties social interaction and battle abilities. Each character has a set of abilities and benefits tied to them that can only be unlocked by improving your relationship with them. This results in plenty of fun moments.

Going out for steak with Chie or working out with Ryuji in Persona 5, each character has their own interests that make hanging out with them uniquely entertaining. The benefits you reap in battle are priceless, giving you many more options than before. The social link system is what has helped distinguish Persona from the other JRPGs on the market.
