Activate Soul Voices With Characters

Soul Voice

Soul Voices are special callouts that occur during combat, prompting you to respond with specific actions. This is a quick way to build Affinity during regular battles.

Successfully activating Soul Challenges or using Arts that match a character's Soul Voice request will increase Affinity with that character.

Complete Missions

Mission

Completing Affinity Missions, Normal Missions, and Story Missions with specific characters in your party will gradually raise their Affinity.

Affinity Missions are especially important, as they often lead to new story developments and unlock character-exclusive content.

Responding to Dialogue Options

Dialogue Option

Throughout the game, you'll encounter dialogue choices during quests and cutscenes. Choosing responses that align with a character’s personality or preferences will boost Affinity with them.

Pay attention to their reactions as some choices may increase Affinity more than others.

What Is Affinity?

Relationship Between Characters

Affinity Menu

Affinity refers to the relationships between characters, whether it be between you and other characters or other characters and each other. You can view these connections in the Affinity Chart menu.
