Walkthrough/Playthrough/Let's Play
Description:
Konoe, a beastkin priestess, wakes up in a post-apocalyptic forest area without any memories. In order to regain her memories, she must clear each of the dungeons adjacent to the starting area, but each memory comes at a heavy price.

=======================================================
I only covered what the demo covered, and it took much longer because of the added cutscenes and flashbacks that flesh out Konoe's past. It would have been saner to split the video.
Make sure you learn Cleansing Burst as early as possible if you want to stand up to the bosses and Champions.
0:00 Solitary Respite
There's now voice acting, though not all lines have it. Now you can hear the hooded man in all his sarcastic concern.
8:29 Twilight Steppes
10:05 Golem Champion
There's now a system that works similarly to Seraphic Blue's element system, where both sides share field elements that can be consumed for their stronger attacks. However, it's not clear which art consumes which element. I know Konoe's kick attack consumes wind and her cleansing attack consumes fire, but I have no idea what her Phantasmic Array consumes.
13:56 Twilight Steppes P2
We get a flashback, but for some reason, Konoe's portrait art looks different in the past.
Every dungeon has an extra map where you can meet the storyteller, who has some vague information about each area. He claims this area fell due to humanity's hubris.
Be sure to look for the small fairy NPC. She'll set up shop in the Solitary Respite, and due to the full release's increased difficulty, you'll need it.
It looks like Konoe's old party was fighting her sister, Kagura.
33:57 Boss: Greater Envoy of the Beginning
The Greater modifier is random apparently, and this applies to every enemy in the game. Supposedly, bosses should have a higher chance of having no modifier, but I just got lucky/unlucky. Personally, I wish we could choose the boss difficulty manually instead of relying on RNG to determine it.
This time, she has a barrier buff, but it can be removed with Cleansing Burst. Be sure to have fire resonance first so that you can turn it into Cleansing Flame.
40:10 Wynne's Death
42:03 Solitary Respite P2
47:10 Azure Wastelands
47:20 Monolith Champion
48:40 Azure Wastelands P2
We get a flashback where the party hunted an RTP ice wolf.
According to the Storyteller, humanity became fearful of the future and tried to rebel against the gods.
1:00:52 Boss: Greater Envoy of the Present
Despite this being a supposedly rare occurrence, I somehow got another Greater boss. And yes, you will need Cleansing Burst again. That skill really should have been mandatory.
1:05:20 Ryuna's Death
1:07:39 Solitary Respite P3
Turns out the shopkeeper's name is Primula.
1:16:49 Starlight Plains
1:17:07 Shadow Warlock Champion
I just realized that the demo actually implemented the modifier system for enemies too, since I actually fought a Mighty version of this enemy back then.
1:20:15 Starlight Plains P2
This time, you have to enter the extra map in order to progress in the main one.
It looks like Kell was always the strongest of the group and Konoe never defeated her.
The Storyteller implies that Konoe or someone who looks like her served as an intermediary between the humans and God, but she was killed. He also knew Konoe's name all along.
1:32:08 Boss: Envoy of the End
I didn't get the Greater version, but she's still really hard because her ice element is good against Konoe. Unlike me, you should equip multiple ice type Ether Gems to be safe.
1:38:12 Kell's Death
Unlike before, every death causes someone in the northern dungeon to slowly get unsealed. This must be the final boss. Could it be Kagura?
1:40:22 Solitary Respite P4
Despite the wording in the dialogue, you can actually back out of the final dungeon to shop, but you only have one chance to talk to Camellia for the last time.
