Additional tips
- Always play all available character bond episodes (EN: Socialisations) during/after finishing the chapter they are in. There is no reason to delay that. E.g.: If you beat chapter 1, go back and do all available bond episodes. If you need to grind some social stats that's no problem. You will get more lifestones than you ever know what to do with. The social stat training facilities also have a variety of small events (and secret low probability events), so they aren't complete wastes of time.
- There are event stories that get referenced in the main story and some that don't. However, characters' bond episodes and personalities/interactions with other characters are usually heavily influenced by their event stories. Another reason to play things in order.
- The garden of memories (the map with all the prism battles, orb bosses and characters with distortion effects all over them) contains special character episodes you can unlock by spending fragments on the distorteed Seraph members. They are basically bond episodes outside of the story mode. Some of them are essential for events. Others spoil content from events or the main story. They must be approached carefully. Only play those that are required for events until you have finished enough content to be safe from spoilers.
- What is colloquially refered to as Swimsuit 1 and Swimsuit 2 are the yearly swimsuit events. Swimsuit 1 = Tropical Hell. It's the one with Tsukasa in a swimsuit on it. Swimsuit 2 = Summer Fairy. It's the one with Yuina in a swimsuit on it. Despite their placement in chapter 1 and 2 categories they are not played in that order. The same goes for Swimsuit 3 = Sihouette and Swimsuit 4 = Higher Self. Pay attention to their listing.
- If at all possible it is recommended to play all content with the story accurate characters. For example 31A in most main story segments and 31C in the Bungo event etc. Aside from the immersion factor there are many situations where characters get specific voicelines only for these situations or where a fight is structured around certain gimmicks. Don't be afraid to play with some underleveled A and S style characters. The game is not too hard and having a little challenge improves the memorability of battles anyway.
Event conditions
This is a checklist of conditions and requirements between every event, story chapter and memory episode (EN: Recollections). This is the most detailed and clear way to tell what is connected to what so that a player can figure out if they have done all that is required for said content. When bond episodes (EN: Socialisations) are recommended (unless specified otherwise) they always apply up to the highest required story chapter for said event.
