Quick Links
President Tanaka of Tanaka’s Amazing Commodities is one of the many Social Links inPersona 3 Reload. AsPersona 3 Reload’s Devil Social Link, Tanaka is very materialistic and quite different from his Amazing Commodities persona. The Devil Social Link is one of the slower Social Links to start up. You’ll also need high Charm and a lot of money before Tanaka even acknowledges the protagonist. Fortunately, he’s an evening-only Social Link and easy to Rank Up.

As frustrating as it is to willingly let the protagonist get scammed, you donotwant to refuse to give Tanaka the 40k yen. Doing so will just delay the start date for the Social Link. That’s why it’s best to speak to him only if you have the amounts on hand (i.e, 20k for day one, 10k for day two, 10k for the final day).
The best way to farm moneyis tosell your Treasures or unused Armor/Weaponsto Kurosawa at the Police Station after every Tartarus run. In Tartarus itself, you’ll want to try and finish off as many Shadows as you can withAll-Out Attacksto trigger Shuffle Time. During the Shuffle TIme itself,select the Pentacles Tarot Card (if it appears). Pentacles always give you money at the end of battle.
Other ways of getting money areworking part-time jobs. You’ll also get Social Stat points for the part-time work. Working a shiftin the afternoonat theScreen Shot Movie TheaterinPort Island Stationwill net you 5000 yen. If you’re lucky, jobs will give youbonus paydepending on how busy the shift ends up being for the day.
