List of Scan Functions

Look for Enemies to Fight

Scanning is one of the main methods to look for fights in the game. Enabling the scan function will reveal enemies in the form of Noise symbols around the player. Getting near towards these symbols will provoke them and follow the player to initiate combat.

Listen in on People's Thoughts

Scanning also allows players to hear people's thoughts. These are called Thought Fragments, which are blue speech bubbles displayed above a person's head. Get near one of these pensive persons and interact with them to get an insight into what's on their mind.
