Some Social Links may feel redundant, I'll agree. But I still love how they all fit the game's respective theme, really helping to flesh it out in the process. I think I kind of prefer them in P3 though, since they offer more variety and the theme itself is more interesting, but P4 gives you Links with all party members, which is a huge plus, even if it comes at the cost of the other Links which can be pretty bland at times. It's also a bit sad that most of the party character development in P4 is relegated to S. Links instead of being integrated in the story, but what can you do. I still enjoy them a lot.
