As you build the Affinity Level between your party members in Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, two characters will be able to interact in a Heart-to-Heart scene when it is deep enough.
These Heart-to-Heart conversations can only happen in specific places, marked by a handshake icon that will appear when nearby.
To access a Heart-to-Heart, as the game will explain, you must have the two characters involved in your party and the Affinity between them must be equal to or higher than the necessary Affinity Level.
The Affinity Level between each character is measured by coloured icons – Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple or Pink – which will improve as they battle or complete quests together.
There are 63 Heart-to-Heart moments in the game and, while they aren’t necessary to see the game through to its dramatic conclusion, they helped to breathe life into the relationships between the main cast of characters.
It’s important to note that you will need to progress in the story to gain access to them all, as well as work towards rebuilding Colony 6.
