In Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, companions provide unique perks and advantages. Increasing affinity with buddies through gifts and requests unlocks these perks. Early game companions often level up faster due to early unlocking patterns, but some late-game options remain viable. Key focuses when selecting buddies include their combat effectiveness for fighting enemies and gathering roles for resource collection. Crafting roles have limited usefulness based on the frequency of their use, with Blacksmith being more advantageous than Artist roles.
Buddy perks are unlocked as you increase your affinity with them by giving gifts, completing requests, and adventuring together. Companions that are unlocked earlier have an advantage as you are more likely to level them up while tackling main quest objectives.
When looking for the best buddies, prioritizing combat roles is crucial, as they help defeat enemies and farm materials. Gathering and harvesting roles, such as Miner and Woodcutter, are also important for resource acquisition.
