Potentials

Potentials are unique positive and negative character traits that trigger on specific situations. These are permanently attached to the character with no way of removing them. However, you can unlock additional potentials and even change negative ones to positive potentials by viewing your characters special extra stories logged in the Notebook, which is accessible from Richelle’s screen. Make sure to check it every now and then to unlock more potentials for your characters.

Tip: If you’re lazy or uninterested with these scenes, you can just play them and press Options > Skip event to end the scene and unlock the potentials (if there’s any).

Knowing your characters’ good and bad potentials have little effect in their effectiveness in combat though you may want to consider these as well when forming teams. There are characters with very specific potentials so you have to aware of those as well. For example, Daryl has the Womanizer potential that increases his Action Gauge speed so avoiding putting him in an all-male team will allow him to use this potential. Isaak has the Amleth Hater potential which decreases his attack when Amleth is near so avoid putting them together in a team as much as possible. Godot’s Royal Guard potential activates when he’s with Ophelia.
