Friendship Levels

whats the easiest way to get Renas and Claudes friendship level maxed

Just do private actions, try not to be a ♥♥♥♥. You'll max out eventually. It takes something like 40 points to max out.

Other ways:
You get 1 relationship point every 100 battles or so for the active team.
The publishing team skill lets you make relationship books you can skip part of the grind with (14 and 28 point versions)

Try to avoid pickpocketing or making contraband without eating the appropriate food first. Careless spamming can crater your relationship scores.

thanks a lot man i didnt know battles counted towards the levels and thank you for all the tips man

You're welcome. One other thing to keep in mind is you only need the 28-point relationship to get the 'love' level endings. You don't need to max out. So with enough books, the final save point, time, and motivation you can manipulate getting whatever/all the endings you want.

Be careful with the books -- they dont add points, they set points, so you can go actually go backwards.

Seems to be an issue with the heart system in this version. It’s nice you can see the hearts which I had maxed out with précis. But as someone said there must be an issue with it as my first ending was pretty much all solo ones. Which is strange as I still got the Claude/précis romance pre end boss scene

99.9% sure this is a myth that has managed to make its way into rumors for all three versions of the game now but has never been true. Specific boss battles do raise FP for the party used, though. The rest is on point.

im trying to get the claude getting rena pregnant ending . them falling in love is the best ending i could ask for. does it matter if friendships are high with diaz? i dont want it conflicting lol

I don't recall how high you need them, exactly, but for that ending you want Claude and Rena near max FP (I had the max for my run - 50) and have them with the little animated hearts for one another on the status screen. If the hearts are with someone else for either of them, you may well need to reset that relationship (use a character book from Publication) and check to see if they've attached to one another this time.

Speaking of which...is there any ending guide for this game? I was surprised to see that Claude and Rena had as many as three endings together!

If you're asking for a how-to guide on how to get them, just eat books via Publishing to set your relationship levels at the final save point and then beat the boss.

If you're asking for an itemized list of endings, there's probably an older version floating around for the ps1/psp games (the psp would be most accurate since Welch was in it, supposedly).

Not sure why Claude-Rena having so many endings is a surprise, they're the two absolute mandatory characters, so you'll have your Neutral (1-13)/Friend (14-27)/Love(28+) endings for them.

just got renas hearts maxed out for claude so im going to keep it there... every heart is maxed

I just discovered that the fight with the final boss counts towards relationship points with whoever is in your party. I was missing the second Claude and Chisato ending and nearly gave up on this playthrough. I went for the final ending "gather up" and set everyone's affinity to 28 with books. I then was confused when Claude and Rena's ending didn't come up. Instead I got Ashton and Claude. I then realized that characters in my party increased affinity to each other. So all you need to do is keep fighting the final boss with the characters you want relationship points with. Use the books first though of course. So another option if you run out of Private actions like I did.
