Judgment features a huge cast of characters, many of which you can befriend through Friend Events. This Judgment Friends Guide will tell you how to track down the locations of each of the friends you can discover in the city as well as information on objectives relating to each friend.
When a Friend Event occurs you’ll be tasked with completing an objective. Once completed you will increase your Friendship with that particular character. Once you become friends with a character they can give you special items or join you in fights.
Certain characters you meet will be able to join you in combat using EX Actions or Ex Bonds. If you are in the area of one of these allies and use an EX Action, they may enter the fray and aid you in battle.
Progressing with each friend is different. Some you can reach full friendship after one interaction, others take more effort. If you have spoken to a friend and no further objectives have appeared, try again later. You can usually have a fight on the street and return to activate the next stage. Alternatively, try again later in the story.
In parts where I state a specific food, it most likely works with any food, I listed the one I purchased just to be safe. There is an ability you can purchased, called Bottomless Stomach, that allows you to eat even when full. It’s expensive, at 5,000 points, but it can make many of the friends missions much faster.
