Folth and Arca’s landlord, Lorah, offers a brief explanation of the affinity and Karma system. Players learn about affinities early on in Summon Night 5, as well as Karma, but aren’t really exposed to either until the end of the first chapter. On the plus side, these relationships occur naturally throughout the story, making it easy to determine if you’re on the correct route. There’s always an opportunity to connect, influencing the ending as a result. All Summon Night games have relationships between their main characters and party members.
