Persona 4 Golden Strength Social Link (Basketball Club) Guide

The Strength Social Link actually stars two different characters and you’ll live through two different events depending on wheter you choose the Soccer Club or the Basketball Club. If you choose the latter the link will star Kou Ichijo, with Daisuke Nagase playing a supportive role; if choosing the Soccer club it’ll be Kou playing a supportive role, with Daisuke being in the spotlight. To witness both Social Links you’ll have to play the game at least twice since you can only choose one club for playthrough. You’ll be able to join a sports club after 4/19, quite early in the game: club meetings are every non rainy Tuesdays, Thurdays and Saturdays. Once mastered you’ll be able to fuse the strongest persona of the Strength Arcana, Zaou Gongen. In this guide we’ll cover the Basketball Club Social Link, starring Kou Ichijo
