Now for the right reasons

During the Persona 4 Golden streams, Joe made the observation that the stories told by the game's social links, which are optional cutscenes revolving around specific characters, all end with the character concluding that they're going to carry on doing what they were always doing, "but now for the right reasons". This is because the social links are all optional, so the characters don't develop outside of the social links as a result of anything which happens within them, so the social links have to make them go through character development which doesn't change their behavior.
