Substories are mini-narratives scattered throughout Yokohama and Honolulu, often marked by speech bubbles on the map. Completing them rewards you with experience, money, unique items, and sometimes new party members or Poundmates. Aloha Links are Hawaii-specific substories that help Ichiban connect with the local community, boosting his personality stats. Always check your map for new substory icons as you progress through the main story.
