Rapport is the game's affinity system, and it runs on two separate tracks. One measures Emma's bond with Koo and pays out in combat capability. The other measures her relationship with Kagura and pays out in food. Both are raised by returning to the walking vessel between expeditions rather than by anything done in the field.
Rapport With Koo
How to Raise It | Detail |
|---|---|
Pet Koo | Petting him for the first time after finishing a quest raises rapport. |
Feed him treats | Treats collected in the field can be fed to him directly. |
Shower together | Using the shower aboard the ship after returning from a quest raises rapport. |
The payoff is loadout space. Higher rapport unlocks more skill and item slots for Koo, which means more Bloom Arts available in a single fight and more consumables he can carry into it. Maxing the track unlocks the Closest Companion achievement.
Rapport With Kagura
How to Raise It | Detail |
|---|---|
Talk to her aboard the ship | Conversations on the Walker raise rapport, and extra scenes surface before major fights. |
Bring back recipes | Handing over a recipe found in the world raises rapport as well as adding it to her research queue. |
Collect and plant seedlings | Seedlings are handled by Kagura, so gathering and planting them feeds this track. |
Incubate fertilized eggs | Putting a Fertilized Egg in the Incubator raises rapport. |
Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
Faster cooking research | Higher rapport shortens the time she needs to research a new recipe. |
More rations | The rations issued automatically before disembarking scale with her rapport rank. |
Supreme Curry | Unlocked at rapport rank 8, and not obtainable anywhere else. |
Supreme Onigiri | Unlocked at rapport rank 10, and not obtainable anywhere else. |
Knowing Me, Knowing You for the first deep conversation, Bestie for reaching maximum rapport. |
Both Supreme recipes are required for the Gourmand achievement, so the Kagura track is effectively mandatory for a completion run.
The Once-Per-Day Limit
Repeatable affinity conversations were originally unlimited, and players raised both tracks by talking on a loop. The version 1.0.7 patch limited them to once per day as a story pacing change, so rapport now advances alongside the campaign rather than being farmed in a single sitting.
