![]() ![]() There’s a total of 5 characters that join your party, but I won’t spoil the rest so that you can experience it for yourself. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t invested in all the cast members in Eternights, that’s how great the writing is. Every single character you meet contains incredible emotional depth and a heartfelt backstory. It’s nice to see these characters being grounded and realistic, rather than stereotypical idealistic video game characters. I was trying super hard to flirt with Yuna in the beginning, always choosing the response that would earn brownie points with her, and I could see Chani getting upset, throwing out passive aggressive remarks and just being an overly difficult friend. A nice attention to detail I noticed is that other characters can get jealous or even angry depending on how you act. ![]() These include Expression, Confidence, Acceptance, and Courage These directly correspond to your character stats such as attack and defense. Several personality traits can be leveled up depending on which responses you choose. Certain abilities are even locked behind you reaching a particular bond level with a particular character. White is used to unlock relationship related skills whereas black is used to unlock skills specific to you. As you complete these activities, you earn two types of currency: white and black essence.

In fact, in order to unlock the true ending, you need to max out your bond with at least one character. Much like Persona, you can form and deepen bonds with all of your friends through either spending time with them or choosing certain dialogue options. You can choose what you want to do during this time, but there’s a timer before a major event needs to be addressed. Gameplay is broken down into calendar days, with a day and night cycle.
