If attraction participation opportunities stop appearing, they might not show up for a while. In that case, temporarily switch to local communication and then reconnect to internet communication.
Exit the Festival Plaza
If no available attractions are displayed for a while, exiting the Festival Plaza can be effective. Re-enter immediately and wait for attraction participation opportunities to appear.
Talk to Specific People
People Who Give Festival Coins
Speech Bubble Name Is Red
When you pass by, people whose names are red are people who will give you Festival Coins. By listening to them or fulfilling their requests, you can randomly obtain 1 to 20 FC.
Inside the Castle
When a Wonder Trade or a trade within the Festival Plaza occurs, the other person will appear inside the castle. Talking to that person will randomly give you 1 to 20 FC.
Note: Limited Number
The method of earning FC by talking to people takes time after talking once before you can receive more. Moreover, the amount you can get per Festival Plaza visit is also limited, so think of it as a bonus.
