Gameplay[edit]
The player can form a party of up to four characters that will be encountered throughout the course of the game. The player will be able to perform special team attacks with party members.[2] The ocean is a major part of Shining Hearts. The game puts the player's base of operations on a ship called 'Home Ship'. This ship serves both as the player's home and as means of transport. While the ship starts off in a ragged state, the player will be able to build it up with new functionality. Eventually, the player will use the ship to travel to other islands.[2] When not out at sea, the player is free to roam the Wyndaria Island. The player will be able to take part in a variety of activities. The player can progress through story missions, or take on side quests to help out villagers. The player will also be able to go around the island to collect materials for baking bread and forging weapons, and even go fishing.[2]
While playing through the game, working through the story and helping villagers out on quests, the player will collect Hearts. These can be given to Kaguya to help her return her emotions. As her emotions come back, Kaguya's spirit stone will release 'Heart Keys.' These can be used to open doors to new worlds, leading to new developments in the story.[2] Hearts are a parameter indicating how people feel about the main character. In response to the main character's actions, people will release Hearts of varying color. The different colors represent feelings: Red Heart: Happiness; Green Heart: Kindness; Yellow Heart: Anger; Blue Heart: Sadness; Black Heart: Hatred.[3] By collecting Hearts, the player will bring about changes to the game's island setting and world, and also expand the adventure to new areas. Hearts can also be used in battle. It is also possible to use Hearts when preparing bread at the bakery.[3]
One method for collecting Hearts is through the MOE (Mind Over Emotion) System. During conversation, the player will occasionally be allowed to select a response under constraint of time. Depending on the player's selection, the conversation partner will release Hearts indicating their reaction. Their favor for the main character will change accordingly.[3] There's more than one MOE System in the game, and one of them being the 'Battle MOE' System.[4] Battle MOE is a group attack system. Every now and then, the player will be given the chance of pairing up with one of the battle members for a group attack. Depending on the selections, the player will get different moves. Some group attacks result in heal spells, some in group attacks, etc.[4] The feelings of the party members towards the main character will change during combat.[2] The character that the player selects to perform the team attack will be more pleased with the main character and will release Red Hearts, indicating happiness. The characters who don't get picked will be angry and will release Blue Hearts, indicating sadness.[4]

After first running into a timid boy named Koichi Hirose, Jotaro comes across Josuke when he gets into a fights with upperclassmen who injured a turtle and insulted his hairstyle, possessing a Stand that can alter a target's atomic structure in various ways that include healing. Jotaro introduces himself as Josuke's nephew while explaining to the youth that he is Joseph Joestar's illegitimate son. When Jotaro inadvertently insults Josuke's hairstyle, he sees the youth's Stand Crazy Diamond[d] while displaying the time manipulative ability of his own Stand Star Platinum. Besides explaining to have come to divide Joseph's inheritance with the Higashikata family, Jotaro warns Josuke about a murderous Stand user named Anjuro 'Angelo' Katagiri who escaped prison after a failed execution and is hiding out in town. After school, Josuke encounters a convenience store robbery and steps in after the robber insulted his hair, using Crazy Diamond to save the store clerk while implanting the robber's knife inside the man's own body. Just then, Josuke discovers that the robber was being possessed by Angelo's Stand, Aqua Necklace, who escapes into the sewers while threatening to kill him. | ||||||

| After an attempt to sneak his Stand into the Higashikata residence while posing as a milkman, Angelo uses a waterpipe to get Aqua Necklace into the house so it can kill Josuke's mother Tomoko. But Josuke uses Crazy Diamond to extract Aqua Necklace from his mother's body before it can kill her and traps it inside a bottle. But when Angelo sees Josuke's grandfather Ryohei coming home, recognizing him as the one who arrested him years ago, he kills the old man by having his Stand pose as Cognac that Ryohei drinks as Jotaro arrives. Though Josuke restores Ryohei's body, he learns his Stand cannot bring back the dead. Three days after the funeral, the former sending his mother to visit relatives, Josuke and Jotaro stake out before releasing Angelo was biding his time until a rainy day.

| After being fused into stone, Angelo reveals to Josuke and Jotaro that he received his Stand ability before his execution by a man in a school uniform who shot him with a mysterious bow and arrow, mentioning Dio's name. Angelo attempts to use this discussion to distract the two and attack a nearby child with Aqua Necklace, resulting with Josuke completely fusing the killer in stone which is transformed into the 'Angelo Stone'. Realizing that the bow and arrow may be what originally gave Dio his Stand, fearing a potential crisis, Jotaro decides to stay in Morioh to investigate. The next day, Josuke and Koichi pass by a derelict house where the former is jumped by Okuyasu Nijimura as his older brother Keicho fired an arrow through Koichi's neck. Josuke is kept from reaching Koichi's aid by Okuyasu, whose Stand The Hand can scrape away anything its right hand touches and instantly close the gap left afterwards. But Josuke uses this to his advantage by tricking Okuyasu into removing the space between him and some potted plants, which launch towards him and knock him out, allowing Josuke to enter the house after Keicho dragged Koichi inside. | ||||||

After Josuke decides to heal his wounds, Okuyasu repays the favor by helping him recover Koichi from a booby-trapped room, allowing Josuke to save him in time. As Josuke and Koichi attempt to escape from Bad Company, an entire army of toy soldiers complete with tanks and helicopters, Josuke discovers that the arrow Keicho shot Koichi with has given him a Stand ability. After Keicho forces Koichi to bring out his Stand, which appears to just be a seemingly useless egg, he once again targets Josuke, but Josuke uses Crazy Diamond's ability to fire Bad Company's own missiles back at Keicho. | ||||||

| While searching the attic for the bow and arrow, Josuke and Koichi discover a mutated creature who is revealed to be the Nijimura brothers' father. Keicho reveals that his father, who had been implanted with a flesh bud received from Dio, was mutated into a monster that cannot be killed by conventional means following Dio's death. Keicho explains that he had been creating new Stand users in the hopes of finding an ability that can kill his father, who has been doing nothing but searching through an old chest. Using Crazy Diamond's ability, Josuke discovers that the father was searching for a torn up photograph of his family, hinting that he still retains memories of his old life. Just as Josuke offers to help Keicho and Okuyasu find a way to cure their father in exchange for the bow and arrow, Keicho is attacked by the electrical Stand, Red Hot Chili Pepper,[f] who steals the bow and arrow and kills Keicho by dragging him through an electrical outlet. As Jotaro receives a warning from Red Hot Chili Pepper's user not to interfere any further, Okuyasu decides to befriend Josuke and go to school with him. | ||||||

| Koichi rides his bike on his way to school, and unintentionally runs over what he thinks is a cat in a burlap sack. Nearby, the cat's alleged owner Tamami Kobayashi tries to blackmail Koichi into paying for the cat, bringing out his Stand The Lock to literally weigh Koichi down with his own guilt. Okuyasu and Josuke soon arrive to help him, but Kobayashi tricks Okuyasu into feeling guilty for punching him and knocking him down and falling under the thrall of The Lock. However, Josuke discovers that the cat was fake and also heals Kobayashi's injuries, freeing both Koichi and Okuyasu from their locks, though Kobayashi still gets away with all of Koichi's money. Upon arriving home, Koichi is shocked to find Kobayashi, who tricks his mother into thinking Koichi had stolen from him and puts both her and Koichi's sister under The Lock's power. Koichi's anger towards Kobayashi leads his Stand egg to hatch into Echoes,[g] which initially appears to have no physical strength. However, Kobayashi discovers Echoes' true ability is to plant literal sound effects on whatever it touches, driving him crazy with repeated sounds. Kobayashi tries to take his revenge by tricking Koichi's mother and sister into thinking Koichi had stabbed him, aiming to drive Koichi's mother to kill herself. However, Koichi manages to use Echoes' ability to convince his mother to believe in him, ultimately freeing both her and his sister from The Lock's power. Following his ordeal, Kobayashi resigns himself to be Koichi's servant. | ||||||

| Kobayashi informs Josuke and Koichi about a Stand user in their school named Toshikazu Hazamada who allegedly caused his friend to gouge his own eye out. While investigating Hazamada's locker, Josuke comes across a wooden dummy which turns out to be Hazamada's Stand Surface,[h] which turns into a copy of Josuke and takes control of his movements. After seemingly defeating both Josuke and Koichi, Hazamada aims to use his copy of Josuke to lure Jotaro into a trap. Having used their respective abilities to protect each other from Hazamada's attack, Josuke and Koichi use their Stands' powers to meet up with Jotaro before Hazamada and Surface. Just then, Hazamada has Surface take control of Josuke and tries to have him kill Jotaro in his stead. However, Hazamada is stopped by two bikers who he had attacked on the way to the meeting place, who dish out their revenge after learning of his plans from Josuke. | ||||||

The next day, Yukako becomes angered with the class representative for insulting Koichi, using her Stand Love Deluxe, which allows her to control her own hair, to attempt to burn the class rep alive. After Josuke and Okuyasu arrive to save the class rep, they warn Koichi about Yukako's Stand and encourage him to try and act like a delinquent so that she'll lose interest. This plan backfires, however, as Yukako kidnaps Koichi and brings him to an abandoned summer villa, where she begins torturing him in an attempt to mold him into the perfect gentleman. | ||||||

As Koichi attempts to survive Yukako's fury until Josuke arrives, Echoes suddenly evolves into a new form, Echoes Act 2, which can turn the sound effects it writes into real actions when touched. Yukako endures several counterattacks from Koichi's new Stand ability, but she is literally blown away onto a nearby cliff, which gives way underneath her. Just as Yukako falls towards some sharp rocks below, she is saved thanks to bouncy sound effects already placed there by Koichi, turning them into harmless springs. As Koichi reunites with Josuke and Okuyasu, Yukako gains an all-new admiration for Koichi, who had saved her despite everything she had done to him. | ||||||

Upon trying each of Tonio's dishes, Okuyasu experiences violent reactions within his body, such as his eyes being squeezed of their moisture and his teeth launching out, only to find they have ultimately benefitted him by curing his various maladies. Growing suspicious, Josuke discovers that Tonio had been supplementing his dishes with his Stand, Pearl Jam,[k] and goes to confront him. After a brief scuffle, Josuke discovers that Tonio had only acted hostile towards him for not washing his hands before entering his kitchen, revealing that he really does simply want to help his customers. Tonio explains that he senses maladies his customers may be ailing from, and creates dishes that he infuses with Pearl Jam, which heals the customers' maladies and improves their health. Tonio then puts Josuke to work scrubbing the kitchen for his actions. Meanwhile, Jotaro meets with a representative of the Speedwagon Foundation, who informs him Joseph Joestar is on his way to Morioh. | ||||||

Despite Crazy Diamond's show of strength and speed, Chili Pepper manages to show off his own strength before retreating. The next day, Jotaro calls on Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi to inform them that Joseph, whose Hermit Purple Stand can potentially detect Chili Pepper's user, is due to arrive at the port. Just then, Chili Pepper appears from Okuyasu's motorcycle's battery, having heard the whole conversation, and attempts to escape only to be stopped by Okuyasu. Despite being severely weakened, Chili Pepper manages to goad Okuyasu into attacking him once more, unearthing an underground electrical cable and allowing him to regain his strength. After cutting off Okuyasu's arm, Chili Pepper drags the rest of his body into the cable. Luckily, Josuke manages to use Crazy Diamond on Okuyasu's severed arm, which takes his body away from Chili Pepper before he can be killed and heals him, before Josuke and Jotaro head to the port to save Joseph from the ambush. | ||||||

Otoishi hides Chili Pepper in the underground wires to launch surprise attacks on Josuke from all directions, but Josuke manages to turn the surrounding concrete back into coal tar, allowing him to predict Chili Pepper's movements. Angered, Otoishi uses all the electricity in Morioh Town in order to power Chili Pepper up. However, Josuke manages to trap Chili Pepper in a tire and trick into bursting out, causing the air inside to blow him into the ocean, upon which the combination of the ocean's size and the conductivity of saltwater cause the electricity-based Stand to dissolve. Otoishi manages to survive and sneak onto Joseph's boat disguised as a member of the Speedwagon Foundation, but Okuyasu manages to stop him through sheer dumb luck, allowing Josuke to finally meet his father. | ||||||

After buying a large amount of baby accessories with Josuke's credit card, Joseph attempts to add clothes and makeup to the baby to make her visible, only for her Stand Achtung Baby to activate when she starts crying, causing everything around her, including Joseph's hands, to turn invisible. As the baby gets more upset and her Stand's powers strengthen, her stroller ends up rolling away and into a nearby river. Joseph, upset that Josuke sees him as a burden, decides to act by slitting open his wrist, using his blood to help Josuke find the baby in the river. Josuke becomes amazed by Joseph's self-sacrifice, only to later learn Joseph had spent nearly all of his savings on baby goods when he discovers the sales receipt in his pocket. | ||||||

Despite being disturbed by how far Rohan goes to perfect his manga, Koichi and Hazamada can't resist the chance to sneak a peek at his new manuscript. The moment they do, however, they fall under the power of Rohan's Stand, Heaven's Door, which allows him to open their bodies like a book and read all of their secrets. After learning of Koichi's encounters with Stand users, Rohan writes a safety lock in one of Koichi's pages, preventing Koichi from attacking him. He then proceeds to take pages from both Koichi and Hazamada as material for his manga, leaving them with no memory of what just happened. That night, Koichi senses something amiss when he discovers he's lost 20kg, but suddenly forgets about it just as he prepares to inform Josuke.

However, Josuke and Okuyasu manage to deduce what's happening from a wound on Koichi's hand and head inside Rohan's house. Rohan uses his manuscript to put Okuyasu under Heaven Door's power, writing an instruction that will cause him to commit suicide if Josuke tries to help him. Josuke is then forced to attack him directly, closing his eyes to prevent himself from viewing his manuscript. Rohan insults Josuke's hairstyle in order to provoke him into opening his eyes, but this backfires as Josuke doesn't even acknowledge the manuscript due to being literally blinded by rage. As Josuke beats Rohan to a pulp, Koichi explains that when Josuke was four years old, he came down with the same deadly fever, which is inferred to have been caused by Dio. When he and his mother got stuck in a blizzard on their way to hospital, a student with a regent hairstyle helped them get moving, inspiring Josuke to copy his hairstyle and take offense to anyone who insults it. | ||||||

While pursuing the second rat, which Jotaro names Bug-Eaten after its clipped right ear, Josuke falls into a trap that they had set up for the rats and gets hit by one of Ratt's needles, though is saved thanks to Jotaro's time-stopping ability. Jotaro then uses himself as bait to lure out Bug-Eaten, tasking Josuke with pinpointing its location and shooting it with live rounds.

They are then approached by a girl named Reimi Sugimoto, who reveals that both she and her dog Arnold are ghosts who were murdered fifteen years ago. Explaining that the alleyway is a realm between the worlds of the living and the dead, Reimi informs the others that the man who murdered her has been secretly killing others and asks them to stop him so that she can move on.

Learning how much money Shigekiyo made just from loose change, Josuke and Okuyasu strike up a business friendship with him, using Harvest to search for discarded stickers and vouchers that can be exchanged for larger cash rewards. However, things go sour when Shigekiyo greedily gives the duo only a small fraction of the money earned rather than splitting it 50/50.

However, upon being distressed by the sound of sirens, Mikitaka suddenly transforms his body into a pair of sneakers and flees with Josuke, who suspects he might not be a Stand user as he cannot see Crazy Diamond.

Meanwhile, Josuke climbs up the pylon to rescue Mikitaka and confront Kanedachi, who uses calculative cuts on the pylon to attack Josuke from all angles. However, Josuke manages to use Crazy Diamond's healing ability to send the bolts of energy back to their origin and defeat Kanedachi.

| Surrounded by ambulances and fire engines, Kira attempts to use an approaching nurse to activate Bites the Dust again. While initially believing himself to have succeeded, Kira finds himself in Ghost Alley. There, Reimi reveals to Kira that he had in fact died after he was stopped by Koichi and Jotaro and run over by an ambulance. Thanks to the combined efforts of Reimi and Arnold, Kira is forced to turn around and is dragged into the afterlife by the alley's hands. No longer bound to her attachments, Reimi and Arnold bid farewell to everyone before moving on to the next life. The next day, Jotaro and Joseph return home as the summer of 1999 draws to a close for the residents of Morioh Town. Josuke sees Jotaro and Joseph off at the pier, and uses Crazy Diamond's abilities to prank Joseph and steal his wallet. | ||||||
