11Overview2233Neighbors are the anthropomorphic animal characters who populate the world of Petit Planet. Each Neighbor has a distinct personality, profession, and backstory. Players befriend Neighbors through conversation, gift-giving, and completing tasks for them. Building relationships with Neighbors is one of the main sources of Luca and a core part of the daily gameplay loop.445566Confirmed Neighbors7788The Neighbor roster has grown across the game's closed beta builds. The table below lists the Neighbors confirmed in the Coziness Test and Stardrift Test builds, along with their profession. The Stardrift Test in particular expanded the lineup with several new arrivals, including Harpeno, Rebella, and Nerina, whose detailed profiles have not yet been fully described in official material.991010NameProfessionYunguoCultivatorIsakiBattle Beetle TrainerMedowlynPlushie DesignerFrostiaMystic ScholarDorjelangHatmakerEsassaniStarsea RacerMorsOmni-Gallery CuratorGlennShopkeeperMobaiLife CoordinatorMsafiriAdventure GuideHarpenoRoute Patrol OfficerRebellaGemsmithNerinaComposer1111Several of these Neighbors are tied to Loomi Corp, the company that assigns the player's first companions: Mobai (Life Coordinator), Glenn (Shopkeeper), and Esassani (Starsea Racer) all arrive early as part of the player's starting support team. Others, such as Yunguo and Isaki, are introduced through the opening questline, while the rest are met as the planet grows and through travel across the star sea.12121313Planettes14141515Each Neighbor has their own "Planette", a small personal planet. Planettes can be ranked up by the player, and ranking up a Neighbor's Planette rewards the player with Lumia Batteries for Starsea Voyages. The Planette is the Neighbor's home and reflects their personality and profession in its design.16161717Progression Trees18181919Neighbors have progression trees that resemble RPG talent trees. As the friendship bond with a Neighbor deepens, new branches of their tree unlock, granting the player access to new items, recipes, and planet mechanics or services. This system gives each Neighbor a long-term progression arc beyond simple friendship levels.20202121Relationship System22222323Each Neighbor has a friendship meter that increases through regular interaction. Talking to a Neighbor, giving them gifts they like, and completing their requests all raise the friendship level. Higher friendship levels unlock new dialogue, special events, and bonus Luca generation. Stronger relationships also unlock recipes, items, and new planet mechanics or services tied to that Neighbor's expertise.24242525Outfit Suggestions26262727At certain bond levels, players can suggest outfits for their Neighbors. This allows for additional personalization of the Neighbors' appearance, letting players coordinate their Neighbors' looks with the planet's theme.28282929Gift System30303131Neighbors have preferences for specific items. Giving a Neighbor a gift they love produces a large friendship boost, while a disliked gift may result in no gain or a minor setback. Learning each Neighbor's preferences through dialogue clues and experimentation is part of the social gameplay.32323333Professions34343535Each Neighbor has a profession that reflects their personality and gameplay role. Some professions relate directly to player activities. For example, Yunguo is a cultivator who provides farming guidance, and Glenn runs a shop where players can buy items. Others have more narrative or social roles, like Mors curating the Omni-Gallery museum.36363737Finding New Neighbors38383939Not all Neighbors are present from the start. Some are discovered through Starsea Voyage exploration, appearing on distant islets. For example, Dorjelang was recruited during a Starsea Voyage. Others may arrive on the player's planet as it develops and its Luca level rises.40404141Other Characters424243434444Several other figures appear in beta materials or community-facing posts but are not part of the confirmed Neighbor roster:45454646NameRole / StatusNaloAI chatbot NPC who staffs Cafe Untamed inside the multiplayer hub.
