    • Hello! If you’re currently playing the Cindered Shadows DLC Side Story, the Wayseer NPC will not be there.

      You can only access it in the main game by talking to the Influencer NPC. Spend 4,000 renown points to enable the Wayseer NPC. Remember that it is only accessible during post-time skip.

    • Hello! As far as we know, there are support relationships between the Ashen Wolves students. When it comes to actual A-supports, we don’t have any information regarding that.

  1. The “new motivation gauge” isn’t new. Thats what the Japanese motivation gauge for happy all ways looked like. It was changed in the NA version to an orange smilley.
