About free time events....

[Robin]

Sometimes when I spend free time with someone, I get the beginning dialogue but after I give them the present they don't say anything and the report card doesn't update. It just ends right there. I've gotten this multiple times, especially with Toko and the spoiler character. Is it because they didn't like the present? Or is it supposed to happen, and I only get a proper event sometimes?

Different characters like different presents. Give them the wrong present and they don't reward you with extra dialogue and a report card entry.

That's what I thought it might have been - but I gave Toko the glasses, and she gave me dialogue meaning she liked it but I still didn't get anything.

Sometimes a gift just doesn't work. Not sure if it random or not, I had one fail with Chihiro.

There are specific points in the game where certain characters are depressed due to story events so they won't want to talk after the present (and sometimes they refuse to talk outright). Chihiro won't talk for the first free time day in chapter 2 because of Byakuya's bullying. Just make sure they're acting "normal" before choosing to spend time with them.

This is speculation as I haven't dug though code or seen anybody talk about it, but I imagine it being similar to Persona 3 and 4's system, whereby you accumulate points towards the next character page with every time you spend time with them or give them a present (which would make sense out of the different "values" of the presents for each character, e.g. the Bracelet has an "A" value on Toko, whereas the Antique Doll has a "B")

So, what that means is that every time you spend time with a character you get x "points" towards the next level, plus another y "points" based on the present you gave them. When you reach the threshold for the next "level", you get the dialogue and the character sheet update.

If anybody has a better theory or has figured the system out, please correct me.

You are unable to get any free time events with the spoiler charatcer until you've seen all of a certain other character's free time events (should be obvious who)

Oh wow, way to waste free time... And it specifically says "cheer her up". Guess cheering up's good for nothing.

I noticed that when Makoto thinks "should I still talk to them when they're acting like this?" even giving a perfect gift will get you nothing out of it

so... nobody has got the answer?

This can happen if the present the other person received isn't in their list of "best and/or favorite" items.
