Fresh game implies some sort of New Game Plus, my experience is with The Last Remnant, I suspect it's similar?

One serving of SaGa games generally breaking up weapon types extensively, long swords and falchions and foils and rapiers all being different things that have no interconnecting skills, and one other serving of katanas always going in a special class instead of being heavy two handed sabres, because there always is the traditionnal rpg distinction between western swordery and eastern swordery.

No, that makes it proper SaGa style, if they had the budget to make it so you'd have ten towns up and down a river valley and each would have the myth with the same names and the same core beats except that each would be either subtly incompatible or facially incompatible with the others, they would.

Going to say then that I add Aisha to my vote.

Sif goes with Albert and therefore team pure girlpower must be: Barbara herself, Claudia, Diana and Myriam, since Aisha is, huh, apparently not good.

This would still put our party short a character. But you could add Monica, who I snuck into the character list about ten days ago. Or you can just leave things up to chance; you don't have to vote for all four companions.

Then I'll add Monica. I didn't even connect the wires between the five column party positions board and the party member count.

I have no idea what is optimal and this is a SaGa game but I'll bite the hooks of:

Free the women kidnapped by Wuhan
Investigate the crying lizards behind Oapu's weapon shop
Investigate the death of Buck the shopkeeper in Melvir

Let's say:

Free the women kidnapped by Wuhan

Investigate the death of Buck the shopkeeper in Melvir

and:

Retrieve the Aquamarine from Crystal Lake

It can't all be do-gooding, there has to be some good old looting as well or it isn't an adventure.

Diana would probably like to Explore Isthmus Keep, or what's left of it.
Do your part and Kill the bugs.
And Attend the council of knights because it sounds like a job fair at this point.

I enjoy those quests that are basically just a vehicle for a someone else's tragedy, one the player characters are basically entirely uninvolved in, both as a change of pace and also because it makes the non tragedies brighter by contrast.

Abandoned Keep
Isthmus Keep, or what's left of it
"Seeking extermination assistance with creepy butterfly"


(I like castles what can I say.)

I sure like to repeat myself but there's also some big hero stuff that needs doing.

Well that's a few new urgent things to do.

Get the Ice Sword from Galahad by diplomacy
Save Lord Heinrich's friend from execution"My daughter went to Tarmitta and hasn't come home yet."
Find a cure for the Bafal emperor's illness

Gotta keep the vampires in mind but they might be involved in task 2.

That was productive.


Get the Ice Sword from Galahad... ...by diplomacy. Barbara is nice.
"My daughter went to Tarmitta and hasn't come home yet."
Investigate the return of the vampires

The situation is slightly less critical.

Given that this is a SaGa game, there's a significant chance that killing Strom might be really really hard, oh and also have unforeseen effects.

Deliver the Ignigarde to Avi
Get the Raincloud Armlet from Adyllis
Investigate the return of the vampires

Well that was easy and entirely expected.

Search the Kaklim Desert for the Taralians
Investigate the return of the vampires
Deliver the Raincloud Armlet to Strom


Priority jobs and obvious clean-ups.

It's not a SaGa game if it doesn't try to knife you.
