Acquiring Yen Efficiently
Players can obtain Yen through two primary methods:
- Completing urban trading activities
- Strengthening character relationships
Access urban jobs through the City Life interface, where spending Action Points (AP) at various establishments yields currency returns. With strategic AP management, players can convert approximately 3,000 AP into 10,000 Yen through repeated engagements.
Bond-building interactions with NPCs provide substantial monetary rewards upon reaching new relationship tiers. These events occur naturally through story progression and character-specific missions.
