These are messages 8, 9, 15, and 19. You can see that it skips over calling 8 but does actually call the others, though the requrements can never be fullfilled. I don't really know how it works.

These are unused bits of dialogue from E330_001, the cutscene in the Velvet Room on 1/31. I changed what messages the event calls. The name of the antique shop owner is '亥域', Kurosawa is '育郁磯一' and Koromaru's is '壱', though they're probably wrong as a lot of kanji is broken.

Shame they don't display the character, but both of SEES' Links also display that, so

Kind of forgot that you can use the Social Link editor to. Edit Social Links. This is what they look like in the menu.

Oh and as for Maya's Social Link, there's a whole untranslated version of it still sitting in the files. So it's not lost like the shop owners and Koromaru's are.

Which is exactly what Hashino said in Dengeki Playstation Vol.357!
あと、最初女性キャラはすべてアルカナの「恋愛」だったんですよ。「恋愛1」「恋愛2」って感じで。でも、同じものを育てるくらいなら、ほかのアルカナを育てるだろうなと思いまして、まだ完成していなかったショップのコミュをカットして、ほかのアルカナに振り直したりとか、最後までこの部分についてはいじってましたね。

So the shop owners and Koromaru had Social Links, but they got replaced by the romancable Social Links, who all used to have The Lovers Arcana.

It has 3 letter long abbreviations of the Social Links, but the order is the same as the order of the menu. So PER is short for Persona users, SEI for seito-kai, Japanese for student council, etc. Then we can see:

There's a Persona 3 beta available, for the US from 25th May 2007. Since it's so late, there's not really any differences between this and the final version. Aside from the debug menus, that is. And it's the Social Link debug menu I'll focus on.

OK, so the shop owners(and Koromaru) used to be Social Links, and had some combination of The Empress, The High Priestess, and Justice. But who has what Arcana?

The files for Elizabeth's request menu(which is counted as a shop) use both 'elega' and 'elevatorgirl', so it's likely that エレガ(elega) is short for elevator girl and refers to Elizabeth.

Assuming FES giving Aigis 09 was the original intention and removing SEES' bustups gives the 3 characters needed for the unused slots. But who's エレガ?

There are also bustups with 武器屋(weapon shop), 骨董屋(antique shop)

There are bustups with the Japanese text ネット02(net02) and ネット03(net03). Guess those are the other characters in Maya's Link.

These might not count, though, since they do get used in the Fool and Judgement Social Links and Pharos has an unused reversed bustup as well.

All of SEES, including Aigis(which got used in FES) and the guys, have bustups.

The bustups that correspond to HERO'S usual number are instead an early Junpei, without the blue outline seen on the rest.

Well, that file isn't the only one related to the Social Link menu. There's also the bustups(DATA/CAMP/COMMU/TIM2_BUSTUP). These aren't ordered as nicely as the text is, with SEES' using their regular numbers and there being a lot of numbers without any. But, there are some unused ones.

As you can see, it's only kind of Arcana ordered. 06 to 10, the romanceable Social Links, are wrong, with spaces left for where they should be. But who would fill them(aside from Koromaru who's here)?
