Not sure if this is necessarily a mechanic, but I always like in rpgs especially jrpgs when you have times when you just hang out with your friends. I think it's great for pacing, world building and character development.
Honestly that's a big reason that Personas 3, 4, and 5 stand as some of my favorite games. Letting a player focus on the main character's relationships with the supporting cast around them just makes the main story hit that much harder when it involves all of these people you've ended up forming strong feelings about.
Ya Persona 5 and FF7 remake are the two games that I have played and IMO do this the best!
I like having a hangout spot. Like the Normandy in Mass Effect is a really good one.
CrossCode has an amazing “hanging out with friends” vibe from start to finish. The gameplay and plot are great but the lighthearted atmosphere is what stuck with me most.
