The Persona series has always been praised for how rich the games’ characters are, and Persona 4 Golden delivered iconic characters in spades. From your sweet little sister to a grieving old woman, from your Investigation teammates to your sports club teammates, there’s bound to be a P4G character that captures your heart.

But in order to get closer to them, you’ll need to rank up your social links, and that starts with inviting the character to spend time with you. For information on when your P4G social links are available to see you, and where you can find them, check out our guide down below.

The Velvet Room And Fox Social Links
Marie
Availability
Daytime on Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, and holidays *
Location
Outside the Velvet Room gate in the South Shopping District
Available In The Rain?
No (except for her Rank 1 scene)
Once you've reached the Magatsu Inaba dungeon on 12/8, Marie becomes available every day.
However, no matter how close you are to Marie, you cannot progress past her Rank 4 scene until 7/24 for story purposes.
Additionally, Marie's social link has a deadline of 12/23. Maxing her social link before this date allows you access to Persona 4 Golden's bonus content.
Not finishing her social link locks you out of the bonus content completely.
Read our full Social Link guide for Marie here.
Margaret
Instead of spending time with her, Margaret's social link requires you to fuse Personas with specific skills.
As such, Margaret's availability is near-constant. If you can access the Velvet Room, then you can speak to Margaret to show her your newest fusions.
Doing so does not consume a time slot.
Read our full Social Link guide for Margaret here.
Fox
The Fox tasks you with granting ema requests for the citizens of Inaba, and you need to go see the Fox when you're done to finish the request and rank up.
The Fox can be found to either give or finalize requests at Tatsuhime Shrine and is available every day during the daytime. Its availability is not impacted by rain.
While receiving a request doesn't, ranking up with the Fox consumes a time slot. Keep this in mind when planning your schedule.
