Behavior
- Most talents performed near NPCs cause them to flinch. (The "landing" location of talents and their damage do not matter; what matters is how close the active character is to an NPC when using a talent.) However, there are certain Talents that cause NPCs to clap. Below is list of all talents that trigger clapping:
- Amber: Explosive Puppet
- Ayaka: Kamisato Art: Senho
- Barbara: Whisper of Water (Normal and Charged Attacks only), Let the Show Begin♪, Shining Miracle♪
- Bennett: Fantastic Voyage
- Diona: Icy Paws
- Fischl: Nightrider, Midnight Phantasmagoria

- If a player blocks the path of a walking NPC for a certain amount of time (e.g. using constructs generated by Elemental Skills), they will disappear to spawn somewhere else to continue their walking route.
- Some NPCs such as Marla and Glory are seated on benches at their overworld locations. Players can manipulate how they spawn:
- If the one seat on the bench the NPC usually sits on is occupied, they will spawn on another available seat.
- If all seats of the bench are occupied, the NPC will spawn in front of the bench, standing. Once a seat becomes vacant, they will sit down on that spot.
