Benefits of Engaging in Bond Chats

By completing a specific number of Bond Conversations scattered throughout the game, you’ll unlock Drink Link cutscenes. While amusing, these cutscenes also provide substantial boosts to the performance of your crew members. Your team’s level caps will increase, as will their skill sets, allowing them to unleash more formidable abilities in battle.

Characters Available for Bond Chats

In total, you can bond with six characters in Pirate Yakuza, although two of these characters share conversations and Drink Links. This results in a total of 50 bond chats and seven accessible Drink Links.

Here’s the complete list of characters you can develop relationships with:

Noah
Masaru
Jason
Saejima
Minami & Nishida

Noah stands out as the first character you can bond with upon arriving in Hawaii. His bond mechanics differ slightly; you can engage in conversations with him immediately, with a total of 30 interactions available on the island. Noah boasts multiple Drink Links, accessible at Revolve.

For the other characters, you will find just five conversations each, typically located in the safe zones near lighthouses during your maritime adventures. To access their Drink Links, visit your ship’s common area situated beneath the main deck.
