Favors are similar to Requests, in that, they are mini sidequests that usually have you either defeating specific Yokai and procuring certain items. Unlike Requests, though, Favors are repeatable and some of them actually have a random objective chosen from a list of set ones. They are shown on the map as orange flags, as well as orange bubbles above people’s heads, and will unlock as you progress in the main story. If you’re running low on cash, Favors are good to do, as they will reward you money and/or experience for your Yokai.
