How to Increase Intimacy in Ys X: Nordics

What is Intimacy?
Intimacy is a gameplay mechanic in Ys X: Nordics (Ys 10) that determines how deep your bond is with various ally characters in the game. You can view your Intimacy level with any friendly crew members and NPCs in the Adventure Log’s Records screen.

Giving Gifts to Ally Characters
Gift items are indicated by a paper bag icon when viewing them from your ship’s Action menu.
The type of gift that each friendly character prefers varies and is largely based on their personality and backstory. Be sure to learn more about your crew members and other ally NPCs to know what gift will increase your Intimacy with them.
