>>58627535>Can't you get characters directly?Old characters can be obtained from Chronicle mode and or the gacha with the In-game tokens you get from chronicle and competition mode but the characters new to this game must be through the story first. For that team In particular they are mid Into the story or so and since you don't really start playing soccer for real until 5-6 hours in to the story longer than you want to hear.
>>58627537After creating your OC you are given one of three starting teams of your choice for outside of story and as far as the story mode goes It lets you choose 5 out of 15 choices to slot In to your team before you start playing soccer for real in the story. Raika will be there long before that and four of the choices you can pick are cute lolis from then on you can start recruiting anyone you like. As for your avatar you can get them in the story in ch. 6 or 7 I don't recall which.
After you beat the story everyone you recruited is added to your game wide members and you can now farm those characters in Chronicle like everyone else.
