Personality Level Details

Higher Personality Levels Give Bonuses and Unlock Features

Personality is a mechanic tied to the main protagonist, Kasuga, comprised of six stats: Passion, Confidence, Charisma, Kindness, Intellect, and Style. Each stat has levels, and it's your choice which to prioritize.

Leveling a Personality stat gives certain bonuses related to Kasuga; some levels will increase his resistances, while some enhance certain skills. You'll also unlock jobs, with each job having a specific stat and level needed.

Each Personality stat can be raised up to a maximum of 10 levels. To increase a level for a certain stat, you need to take a specific course in the vocational school, or play a minigame dedicated for that stat.
