Personal Bond Guide By: Unending
-Special thanks to the YouTube channel Kayderim Gameplays,
 the let’s play on this game was very
 helpful in obtaining info for this guide
-It may be possible to max out all bonds before postgame but
 you would really need to optimize your whole game to do that.
 However since there is postgame,
 don’t worry too much about being a completionist.
-Most Characters at one point in their bonds require a bond quest 
in order to advance their personal bonds. These involve going to a
 specific place on the map to
 either fight a battle or go through a text adventure. 
-When it shows that you need to fulfill a personal bond, it hides the
 progress to the next level, so even though the bar appears maxed out 
you may need to hang out with that person multiple times.
-Usually accepting a bond quest doesn’t take up time, but turning
 it in does take up time. Miri is an exception to this.
-It seems that there are two other characters on the steam version 
that you can get through diplomacy between 
Armelisse and Minwe but they aren’t on the switch version.
