0:00 Title
The title screen shows the player's steam username. Why?
Be sure to set your volume and key configuration in the options menu.
0:56 New Game - Carlton Prologue
Alluriga was once a powerful kingdom built like a pillar of stone, but even this mighty kingdom crumbled to dust.
You can choose which character to play a chapter from. I plan on alternating, since it would be weird to get one character to endgame-tier stats only to come back to a noob when I have to play the other one.
3:28 Lermian Castle
Carlton wakes up after a nightmare. Almera, the king's advisor, thinks this is a sign that Carlton is destined to go on a journey to Alluriga. He wants Carlton to prove his strength first by going to the training grounds. Before doing that, explore the castle and find all the secrets. There are subtle visual cues indicating which tiles have hidden items.
9:00 Lermian Castle Basement
You recover HP and AP after winning a battle, so just spam Carlton's best move. If you take too many turns, the enemies will get stronger.
The orb doesn't have any stat choices.
12:12 Lerm
There's a quest where you can help the stable owner find their horses. One horse is in town, one is in Carlton's room, and one is in a clearing in the outskirts.
14:25 Lerm Outskirts
There are hidden items even on the overworld. The clearing has the horse and an orb, but the orb gives you a choice for your stat increase. I picked agility because this is an ATB game.
16:05 Lerm P2
I found all the horses and got a lot of money. Strangely, the quest itself doesn't seem to count towards chapter completion, but maybe it'll affect something in the future.
19:10 Boss: Guard Trio
You won't be able to kill them all before the phase increase happens, so make sure to kill the strongest one before the countdown.
20:21 Lerm P3
Carlton finds it suspicious that Almera would have him fight three guards at once. Return to the throne to claim an old scroll and some money. At the docks, Buster joins the party. Would have been nice if he showed up before the boss fight, since he has a lot of skills and decent starting stats.
26:51 Carlton Prologue Cleared
I managed to get all the AP prizes, due to using the guide. This will hopefully make it easier to spam skills.
27:30 Gregg's Prologue
28:06 Kadel Slums
You'll find a lot fewer secrets and money here, since this location isn't as affluent as Lerm.
Visit the fortune teller Alissa, who tells Gregg that an old man will speak to him in the graveyard. However, the old man goes through a hidden passage beneath a grave.
34:25 Grave Cave
Is it just me, or does Gregg have lower base stats than Carlton? I guess it would make sense, since Carlton has more formal sword training.
36:54 Elmer
The old man, Elmer, tells Gregg that he's descended from Allurigan nobility and that he should explore Alluriga, starting with the ruins of Naev.
39:22 Kadel Slums P2
Gregg says his goodbyes to everyone and gets Bobby to join the party. Bobby is also kind of weak, but he has some support skills. Unfortunately, one slum resident, Farklar, wants to pick a fight.
42:35 Boss: Farklar
For some reason, he has slimes as allies. Make sure to have Bobby debuff Farklar's attack, since he'll probably survive long enough to enter a phase increase.
44:11 Gregg Prologue Clear
