Breaking social link on the other side is destroying him completly, lower rank to 0 and game starts to threat it as it doesnt exist at all. You cant repair broken social link in 4.

but i broke Ai's rank when she says you shouldn't go out anymore and all it took was talking to her again to continue from the rank i leveled up to in that event

Reversing Social link doesnt lower the rank. It stops you from progressing further until you fix it by talking with character.

My mistake, I read 'breaking' as 'reversing'.

I still find it strange that a broken social link carries over to NG+.

It doesn't, I have no idea what they're talking about. NG+ resets all Social Links including Fortune/Moon reverse or Moon broken.

Was this an issue in the standard version of 4 that was fixed in Golden...? Is that what they're talking about?

Ok I checked once more about breaking social link and probably you just need max expression to repair it in Golden.

Also it looks kinda funny when game inform you that you leveled social link and few seconds later it shows that the link has been broken.

Although the best rank up moment is still in original Persona 5 - Justice arcana when you rank up from level 7 to 8,

Aaah i think you're right! I did those "breaking a bond" tests on my NG+ so i had max stats, but i believe they do mention "since you have good expression you were able to make up"
I guess if someone accidentally breaks a bond on a new savefile, probably for Ai, they'll be stuck for a bit until they can raise the stat

Really I never knew that. Very interesting.

I knew you could get reversals in P3 FES as it happens a bit too easily. Basically, every girl's S.L. is considered a romance at some point and if you're going back and forth you're constantly pissing off one of them.

In P4 they thankfully gave you the option to set things as 'just friends' or 'romance'. I thought perhaps they'd removed reversals... until I also got one with Ai for the exact same situation. I've kind of just left her off to the side though, as I'm fairly late game and I'm focusing on party member links.

Yeah P3 FES Reversed SLs are way too easy to get. Even a Broken SL is way too easy. I remember getting one when I promised to go out with someone then I said no. One stupid way of getting a Broken SL in P3 FES if you don;'t hangout/Level up your SL with one or more characters in a long time which they thankfully fixed in Persona 3 Portable by adopting some of the gameplay mechanics from P4.
