Bonding and Affinity Framing
Current build coverage from the TGS 2025 demo and CBT1 captures frames the system more as character bonding and affinity than as a traditional romance loop. Going on outings with playable party members is one of the confirmed City Life activities, and a few characters have personal arcs that fold into broader story progression. The wiki uses the in-build language where it is confirmed and hedges where it is not.
Confirmed Bonding Activities

Cafe and gallery visits | Social setting with party members between missions | TGS 2025 gameplay video, City Life coverage |
Nightclubs and concerts | Party-member outings with shared mini-game elements | TGS 2025 demo, official preview |
Festival and amusement-park attractions | Date-style scripted scenes during festivals | Official preview, dev letters |
