Your character has several soul voices in the game and each have different trigger conditions such as starting a battle in a specific way, performing specific actions during battle, or suffering a specific affliction. You can find all the possible triggers in the soul voices screen accessed through the party menu.
After performing the associated trigger action of a Soul Voice, a quick-time event called a Soul Challenge will initiate. Succeed in the QTE to apply the Soul Voice bonus.
Party members also have their own Soul Voices that can be triggered. A prompt will appear in the form of a voice line both written on the screen and voiced out as audio by the character.
Once the prompt appears, look for and activate the highlighted art in your arts palette to activate their Soul Voice and get a specific bonus.
Soul Voices provide a specific bonus when activated such as increased damage, defense, and so on. Each Soul Voice has three options of bonuses that can be selected from the Soul Voice screen. Be sure to customize your Soul Voices to better fit your playstyle.
Activating a Soul Voice of a team member raises the affinity towards the associated character.
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.
