roun90 Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 So whose story are you playing? Some characters stories are linked (So you should take them as your 1st and 2nd character compulsarily). For example - Duran + Angela; Kevin + Charlotte; Hawkeye + Rieze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, for Duran - to complete 100% story you need to see Angela's story as well. The other 2 have completely different stories that don't link at all (If you pick them as MCs, you should pick their other partners).

Don't think I'll restart now. Also went through a few posts on reddit and apparently there are only a few lines here and there with bosses that are extra with the optimal pairings, so wouldnt be missing out too much I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, after Duran's Chapter 1, you went out to find out about the mage who attacked and the Sorcery Queen. Their stories are told in Angela's story. They both share the same final boss, because that's the final boss for both their stories. Their stories are intertwined, and to get the complete Duran's story, you need to play Angela's story as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playstationdude Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Another 3 hours spent today. I normally have 0 motivation to switch on consoles during work days but the beautiful world in this game just invites you back. Was waiting the whole day for work to be done so that I can get back into this game On the downside, the game is kinda grindy as you need to keep backtracking enemies to level up. But I guess that's the case with all such jrpgs, in general these all demand backtracking and grinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playstationdude Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Completed. Really beautiful game. Pretty visuals and great music. Fairly short game, took me around 16.5 hours to complete but very very enjoyable. Would recommend all those who enjoy Japanese games to give it a try.
