Friendship System
- The [Mercenary Lounge] has been added to the Mercenary Outpost in Colhen.
- You can find allies of the Mercenary Unit resting inside the Mercenary Lounge.
- Between 5 and 6 allies will visit the lounge each day.
- If you don't find the ally you're looking for in the lounge, you can summon them by speaking with [Captain Crimson].
- A [Closeness] meter has been added.
- A "Closeness" meter has been added that indicates your current relationship with each ally.
- Note that you won't become best friends in a single day. If you bother your ally to much, they may need time to cool off. It's best to build up your friendships a little bit each day.
- Also, keep in mind that if you go a long time without seeing your ally, your relationship may begin to sour.
- You can increase Closeness by using [Talk], [Depart for Mission], and [Gift].
- You can check the Closeness status of each ally using the [Closeness Status] button in the Character Window / All Menu and the [Manage Relationship] window in the lounge.
- Talking to the allies in the lounge.
- You can approach an ally of your choice and strike up a conversation.
- Interact with allies using the [Talk] function and talk to them about [Conversation Topics]. You can infer how close they feel to you by their responses.
- As you talk to various allies, you can collect special [Conversation Topics]. You can find the [Conversation Topics] you've collected in the All Menu and the [Manage Topics] tab of the [Manage Relationship] window in the lounge. Different allies offer will react differently to the same conversation topics.
- Use the [Gift] function to give gifts to your allies and raise their Closeness. You can purchase these gifts from the Gift Shop.
- Increasing your Closeness with allies unlocks unique stories and conversations.
