Best Friend Abilities
To become best friends with a character, you’ll need toreach maximum friendship with them.This varies from character to character, but it’s the final level for everyone. When the best friend status has been reached,the character can then collect items for you.
Any gathered materials will be placed in the Collection Box that you previously unlocked through the Terra Nul quest. This collection isn’t quite an ability, andcharacters can refuse to do it if they are busy.
How To Call Friends
Don’t feel like seeking out a character? You’re in luck! From the menu,you may select ‘Call Friend’.This will bring up a list of all the characters that you’ve met. Any characters that are available will be displayed in color, whilebusy characters will be grayed out.
