What unlocks a chat

The catalogue contains 56 optional party conversations. Unlocks follow particular story milestones, obtaining certain things or reaching places. Acquiring the Chocobo is one documented trigger. Keep progressing normally when a locked entry has no available interaction.

  1. Open the menu and choose the Active Time Chat list.
  2. Look for the green unread marker beside an available entry.
  3. Select that conversation to watch it.
  4. Return to the list whenever you want to replay an unlocked conversation.

Why an entry says ???

A question-mark entry has not met its trigger yet. It does not mean the list is malfunctioning. Check the current story objective and recent exploration milestones, then revisit the list. The conversations are optional; viewing them is not a condition for advancing the main story.

For permanent attribute choices, use the dialogue-bonus guide. For character-specific quest rewards, open the party quest index. These tools help track different kinds of party interaction.
