* SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration: Characters have "affection" for other characters which affect the odds off passing on skills that generally start out neutral, but can be raised through the characters completing missions or battling together. Certain characters start out with a boosted affection level for each other, such as the childhood friend quartet all having raised affection for each, minus Ranze towards Kanata, Namero having raised affection for Suzaku, and [[spoiler: in the NewGamePlus, Kagato will start out with high affection towards Kiriya, while Kiriya in turns hates him]]. Also, if you get the worst ending and start a NewGamePlus, your party members' affection will be reset.
