P6 IS REAL

It's well known at this point that Yosuke has an unused voiced confession to Yu. I want to present another piece of unused data that I found to add on to this.

It is rare to Reverse a Social Link in P4/P4G, where it can only happen in Ai's Social Link or if you make Yu an asshole to Naoto. However that used to not only be the case. According to the unused data, it seems that the Social Link mechanics were initially going to be similar to P3, where every romancable Social Link can be reversed.

In P3, for romancable Social Links in particular, they can be reversed quicker if you hang out with another romancable Social Link (inciting jealously). I'm not sure if P4 was initially going to do the same kind of jealousy mechanic, but this Reverse Social Link idea got scrapped which is why there are some unused data for it.

What I find VERY interesting is that there was an unused line for when the Magician Social Link (Yosuke) is on Reverse. This takes place during a Dungeon entrance where Yu can talk to his party members. When Yu talks to Yukiko, she would comment on the strained relationship between him and Yosuke and suggests they should reconcile.

I want to note that there were only unused Reversed Social Link lines like these for party members who are romancable. For instance, there was one for Naoto, Yukiko, and Chie too. Yosuke was the ONLY male party member who has a Reversed line like this.

This is more evidence that Yosuke was originally going to be one of the romancable Social Links who can have their Social Link reversed. In other words, if we are going by P3 romance mechanics here, he would have been able to get jealous or think Yu is cheating on him. Or Yu could have said a wrong dialogue choice during a Social Link that upsetted him.
