So I had no clue the credits would roll after you completed your main characters story.  It was…weird and unexpected, and I actually tried to skip them because it seemed out of place.  Had I known that, I would’ve left Olberic for last, but since he was my main dude, he was more than leveled for that final part.  Since then I’ve finished Alfyn, Therion, Cyrus, and Ophilia’s stories.  Ophilia’s got me btw…as in I was openly weeping.  No spoilers, but I understood what one particular character was going through and why they were acting that way.  Cyrus’s ending actually creeped me out.  That mural he found was kind of terrifying with that monster on it.  Not to mention what it translated into.   The two “final” bosses who gave me trouble were Therion’s and Olberic’s.  I had to go back and replace H’aanit with Olberic and really strategize former one.  For Olberic’s last showdown, I used a lot of pomegranates.

I have all of the secondary jobs now and am currently working on everyone’s third chapter.  I’d love to hear how other players prefer to dole them out.  I had Olberic as a Hunter, but honestly, I don’t think it added much to his repertoire.  I like him as an Apothecary better, because it gives him use of the axe and that Amputate spell, which is boss.  Plus he can use some ice magic.  I like Ophilia as either a Dancer or Scholar since that gives her more magic to use, though I’d rather keep someone else as a Scholar to spread it around.   Tressa is definitely a Thief because holy shit is Collecting more fantastic.  I think I grabbed 20,000 leaves (what a weird currency lol) from the python and snake charmer near Wellspring, and that’s each.  I like Primrose as a Scholar because I can have her Analyze.  She’s more of a support character at the moment, which isn’t a slight on her at all.
