Things to Know for Recruitment
Choose Options that Forgive
When clearing quests, conversation cutscenes with characters may occur, presenting you with choices. For options like forgive or not forgive, generally choose the "forgive" option. Choosing options like execution will make it impossible to recruit them.
Pay Attention to Story Conversations
During quests, make sure not to miss "Stage Conversations" that occur on the map. Some characters have recruitment conditions that require specific character pairs to have a stage conversation so be careful not to miss them.
Check Stage Conversations From the Stage Menu
During a quest, open the "Stage Menu" and check if there are any available stage conversations. They can be added when a quest starts or progresses, so be sure to check after events occur.
Characters with Special Recruitment Conditions

|---|---|
 Nina | In "Thief Extermination," after Mille and Nina's stage conversation occurs, defeat Nina's unit, then choose "Welcome her" after clearing. |
