Research Projects allow the player to unlock new items, features, and techniques, such as unlocking various Combat Items, expanding the capability of facilities in the Abbey, or improving Combat abilities.
Hard to believe, but Tony and I are capable of acting like adults. We may disagree on the method, but we can agree on the end goal.Doctor Strange
Prerequisites[]
Unlocking Projects[]
Each Research Project is associated with a Hero. Projects associated with 
Hunter are unlocked by exploring the Abbey or progressing the Story. The first Project for each other Hero is revealed after the first time they participate in a Mission. Completing that Hero's first Project will reveal the rest of their Research Projects.
Requirements[]
Each Project has a requirement related to its associated Hero, such as completing a number of Missions with them. This requirement must be completed before the Project can be researched. These requirements are removed when playing in New Game+.
