( Withal, the Sun and Moon confidants do non require matching personas.)

  • This guide volition be running on the supposition that y'all're choosing a platonic route with all the romanceable characters to accommodate anybody — if you observe yourself progressing faster with your romanced confidant than the guide plans for, utilise the extra day as a free slot. ( All the same, we recommend romancing at to the lowest degree one teammate to acquire the PS4 trophy, even if you lot decide to reload and proceed with the ideal route.)
  • The number of music notes that appear for social stat increases is not the number of points earned. For case, one music note ways you take earned ii points, two music notes hateful yous have earned 3 or four points, and three music notes mean you have earned between five and ten points.
