Party (Kingdom)

From Japari Library, the Kemono Friends Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Party system is a method of obtaining Friends in the Kemono Friends Kingdom mobile game. The player uses an item called a Letter for a Friend to summon a single Friend from a particular summoning pool over the course of several hours, though the process can be instantly completed using a secondary item called an Instant Reply. Some Friends can only be obtained through the Party system; they do not appear in the Friend Encounter gacha.

Overview

The Party area is an isolated grove under the shade of a large tree, under which lie a ragged love seat whose cushion has been covered in hay, an old television set powered by a small generator, an old gramophone in surprisingly good condition, and a low coffee table with a dining menu and a cup of green tea, all arranged in a circle where Friends can invite old pals and new friends alike to come together and play, relax, eat, laugh and be merry together.

The Party system allows players to prepare a welcoming ceremony for a mystery Friend to whom a party invitation has been delivered, effectively allowing the player to make additional Friend Encounters without using Encounter Tickets or Stargems, instead having the player expend time and in-game items. Consequently, the system also has much lower odds to acquire high-rarity Friends than the dedicated Friend Encounter system does; typically, 3-Star and 4-Star Friends will appear, which makes the Party system a good way for new players to enhance their early-game Friends and for players of any level to collect Radiant and Memory Crystals for redemption in the Store. Each one of the previously-mentioned four spots making up the circle correlates to a possible Friend Encounter, allowing for up to four Friend Encounters to be generated at one time; the player does not begin the game with access to all four zones and must unlock them via game progression. When using the Party system to summon a Friend, a player must make three selections.

The first is the choosing of an Accompanied Friend, who will wait for the invited Friend at the Party site chosen; the Accompanied Friend is chosen from three of the player's own unlocked Friends, presented at random. As the role is purely cosmetic, the Accompanied Friend can still be used elsewhere in the game, such as in the Main Story and in Raids, while fulfilling the role of Accompanied Friend.

Secondly, the player selects a Welcome Gift, which determines the type of Friend likeliest to appear; this is not a game-play item the player must have in their Storage, but rather a thematic means of selecting a desired Friend rate increase. Some Friends in the pools of certain Welcome Gifts only show as obtainable when a specific type of Welcome Ceremony appears by random chance.

Finally, the player chooses a Welcome Ceremony, which determines how long the invited Friend will take to arrive as well as the likelihood of that Friend having a higher rarity. Once these selections are made, the player must consume one Letter for a Friend item to begin the countdown, and can either wait for the Friend to arrive- a process taking anywhere from one to nine hours, depending on the chosen Welcome Ceremony- or complete it instantly by consuming an Instant Reply item.

Welcome Gifts

There is an assortment of available Welcome Gifts, which each increase the summoning chance of a particular set of Friends; each type of Welcome Gift can summon any of the Friends available in the Party summoning pool, but specific Friends have a higher rate of appearing when specific Welcome Gifts are selected. Some Welcome Gifts have identical pools of rate-up Friends, making the differences between those Gifts purely cosmetic.

Welcome Ceremony

There are six types of Welcome Ceremony which can appear in a player's Party menu, each type influencing the odds of summoning rare Friends. The Welcome Ceremony menu will only ever display four out of the six possible Ceremonies at any one time; there are three types of Ceremony which will always be present, and three types which are mutually exclusive, with only one of the three appearing at a given time. These three correlate to the greatest odds for high-rarity Friends; the two rarest-seen Welcome Ceremonies each guarantee a Friend of a particular rarity appears, the rarest of which guarantees a 6-Star Friend who is only available in a given Welcome Gift's pool when this Welcome Ceremony appears.

Welcome Ceremonies
Appearance Availability Wait Time
A handful of small party favors Always available to select 1-3 hours

Strings of acorns, mushrooms, and assorted leaves Always available to select 5-7 hours
A party popper firing a shower of confetti and pink streamers Typically available to select; can be replaced by 10h or 12h Ceremony, rarely 7-9 hours
A pair of jingling yellow hand bells Rare Ceremony; guarantees a 5-star Friend from an available pool 10 hours
A grand cake decorated with frosting and a chocolate Kemono Friends logo Rarest Ceremony; guarantees a 6-star Friend from a hidden pool 12 hours

Letter for a Friend and Instant Reply Items

Use of the Party system requires the player to consume one Letter for a Friend per encounter. These items are primarily acquired by completing event missions or Daily and Weekly Quests, or through the trading of Radiant Crystals or Friendship in the Store's Redeem section. The player also has the option to expedite the summoning process by consuming an Instant Reply item, which can most typically be obtained by exchanging Memory Crystals or Friendship in the Redeem store or through completion of event missions and Daily Quests.

Wait Logs

When an Accompanied Friend is waiting for a new Friend to arrive, she will keep a Wait Log detailing what she is doing to pass the time, what she sees or hears, and her reaction to the Friend's arrival. The log will update frequently, and can keep up to 50 entries at one time; if a new entry appear after this limit is reached, the oldest log entry will be pushed out to make room for the newest.

Standard Wait Logs
"40, 41, 42..." [Friend] is counting leaves as they fall from the trees. A gust of wind blows through, knocking hundreds down at once, disrupting her rhythm. Undaunted, she keeps counting "53, 54... Hm?... No. That doesn't seem right..."
After a fierce struggle, [Friend] defeats the Cerulean. Panting and out of breath, she fears if another one were to attack now, she wouldn't have the strength to deal with it.
After watching a few TV shows, [Friend] feels a bit bored.
Ceruleans burst in, knocking the coffee table over and sending the porcelain [Friend] just put out flying.
Ceruleans seem to be getting stronger and stronger. [Friend] must have evolved! Motivation at an all-time high, [Friend] starts working out even harder. After all, adventuring is a high risk, high reward activity.
Even a little stone can amuse [Friend]. She even thinks of it as her good friend.
[Friend] cleans up the residence, then sits down on the sofa for a rest.
[Friend] feels excitement, anticipation, nerves, bashfulness... What a sweet and heady mixture of emotions we experience before meeting a new friend...
[Friend] hears some very loud thuds and hides in the bushes until the behemoth has passed.
How big is the kingdom? Where are its borders? Are there friends beyond the mountains and the sea?... [Friend] cups her chin in her hand, as idle thoughts fill her mind...
[Friend] is keen to organize Welcome Ceremony, but doesn't seem to have much of a plan.
[Friend] is playing with her newly discovered toy.

[Friend] realizes the honey fruit tea is getting cold... Oh well, there's only one thing for it... Hmmm, yummy... (BURP!!!)
Realizing the Welcome Ceremony hasn't been organized yet, [Friend] decides to get busy.
The grass sways gently in the breeze. The flowers nod quietly in the shade. No matter how hard [Friend] tries, she keeping slipping into sleep, where she finds a kingdom of clouds filled with sumptuous food and, of course, lots of toys.
The sky is blue as polished jade. Fluffy white clouds float overhead like cotton candy. [Friend] is lying on the grass, enjoying the wind and sunshine.
"The true adventurer practices constantly!" [Friend] tries tor ecall every thrust and parry in her battle with the Cerulean... Eh? Why can't I remember... What a headache...
There is a rustling sound in the distance. [Friend] waits with baited breath... but nothing appears. Haha, looks like it was just the wind.
[Friend] utters a silent prayer for continued good weather.
[Friend] wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Lucky Beast, but she can't get a word out of it.
When [Friend] thinks of the time you spent together, a happy smile lights up her face. Such memories are proof of your precious friendship.

There are also messages for when a Friend arrives. There are unique messages which may appear when a Friend is drawn by a particular Welcome Gift, often but not exclusively when she is a Friend from that gift's rate-up pool.

Unique Wait Logs
Friend Wait Log
KFKCrestedIbisCombo.png Crested Ibis Crested Ibis clears her throat. She's about to start her daily singing practice...?
Crested Ibis is eager to know, will her new friend be the soulmate she has been looking for?
Crested Ibis is feeling a little nervous. I hope my friends like my singing!
?…Crested Ibis is sitting on the sofa supping her tea, thinking about which song would be most suitable for the Welcome Ceremony.
KFKEmperorPenguinCombo.png Emperor Penguin, KFKRockhopperPenguinCombo.png Southern Rockhopper Penguin Bursting with inspiration, [Friend] hums a lively tune. She keeps repeating it all the way home, so she can sing it to her friends.
[Friend] is working up a real sweat. Gradually her dance steps grow in confidence and her singing becomes more and more appealing.
"Now's the time for partner rehearsal. I need to keep up with everyone!" [Friend] thinks to herself, before stepping out brightly onto the dance floor.
[Friend] suddenly realizes the same tricks are involved in diving and dancing... strike a pose... flash a smile...
[Friend] takes out a compact mirror and practices smiling in it like a celebrity.
KFKEagleOwlCombo.png Eurasian Eagle-Owl Eurasian Eagle Owl has carefully arranged a grand Welcome Ceremony, although she is not very happy with the result.

KFKHippopotamusCombo.png Hippopotamus Hippopotamus doesn't seem to be very good at waiting... As time passes, her temper starts to fray. Remembering the favor she is doing you, Hippopotamus her fury mounts... (Through clenched teeth) Am I... not... generous?
Hippopotamus is thinking about the Hot Spring Resort she heard about today, the petal baths, milk baths, grapefruit baths... These humans know a thing or two about bathing... "Well, when I'm done here I'm going to go and have a nice long bath..."
The sun is blazing down and the grass is baked dry. Hippopotamus' skin starts to sting and her mood quickly deteriorates. "Hah, I'll never understand how Saltwater Crocodile can bask in the sun all day long!"
There is a sudden and torrential downpour. Hippopotamus can't help herself and starts cavorting and splashing around in the rain under the ominous thunderhead. After all, a shower is just as good as a bath!
KFKSandCatCombo.png
Sand Cat
Sand Cat is taking a nice stroll when suddenly she plunges headlong into the bushes... and starts... snoring loudly...
Sand Cat lays everything out carefully, but the residence still looks like a bomb has hit it. Still, Sand Cat feels very happy having finished her chores for the day.
Sand Cat nibbles on a bun while considering how to talk to her new friend... (yawn) Eating can sure make people sleepy...
Sand Cat tries to do some exercise but collapses on the sofa after a few repetitions. Life can't be rushed, but follows its own pace. But if you take it too slow... (yawn)... sleep is always waiting...
Sand Cat wakes up from her sleep and looks around apprehensively. What would people think if they saw her snoring away in the bushes? The thought was unbearable!
KFKSandCatCombo.png
Sand Cat, KFKServalCombo.png

[Friend] yawns lazily and stretches... Looks like it's time for a nap...
KFKShoebillCombo.png Shoebill Shoebill is sitting on the sofa, thinking about how best to organize the Welcome Ceremony. She is completely motionless, like a statue.
Shoebill is standing there quietly, seeming calm as a cucumber, but her innards are churning with worrying about how she is going to entertain her new friends...
Shoebill is taking a leisurely stroll and doing some reconnaissance along the way.
KFKRockhopperPenguinCombo.png Southern Rockhopper Penguin Rockhopper Penguin secretly resolves to use the perfect backdrop to win her new friend's heart.

KFKSuriAlpacaCombo.png
Suri Alpaca
Suri Alpaca is very used to waiting, like when she waits for customers in the cafe, but... this time the wait has really been TOO long... (Argh!)
Suri Alpaca is walking through the meadow, picking flowers and berries, all excellent ingredients in her eyes.
Suri Alpaca kneels down under a tree and studies ever detail of the ancient tea ceremony. Time passes... the water still hasn't boiled, but Suri Alpaca's knees and calf muscles are starting to ache. She rises unsteadily to her feet, collapses onto the soda and sighs: "The style of Master Sen no Rikyu... is inimitable!"
Suri Alpaca stands on high ground, looking into the distance, although her view is obscured by thick bangs. She appears lost in thought... should she take the opportunity to trim her bangs?
