There may be actions that are done for practical purpose or for no particular purpose in the playthrough; the mandatory actions done in this episode are the following and they can be used as a guide (note that during this playthrough, certain actions can only be done during a short period of time and others can be postponed; note also that there is the possibility I may have missed events like dialogue replacement, sprite change, additional scenes and so on, since those are not generally considered as goals and are not documented at all):

Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* Obtaining Madain's Ring through the excavation game is not a requirement since unlimited copies can apparently be obtained.
* I do not consider this among the requirements of triggering unique dialogue changes, but I will leave obtaining the Black Belt in the items shop for Disc 3 while having the Hilda Garde 3, in order to make Black Mage No.163 says 4 different dialogues:
- Dialogue 1 (Disc 2): Black Mage No.163 says "Um, welcome! Can I help you?" and offers 3 choices like shown at 43:54 (including "the usual" one).
- Dialogue 2 (Disc 3): BM#163 says "...Welcome." and offers 3 choices (including "the usual" one).
- Dialogue 3 (Disc 3): BM#163 says "...Welcome." and offers only 2 choices after obtaining the Black Belt.
- Dialogue 4 (Disc 4): BM#163 says "Um, welcome! Can I help you?" (the same line as in Disc 2) but offers only 2 choices.
* One of the two actions below must be done to make "the usual" option available:
- Watching the ATE "Everyday Life" (the choice I did).
- Eavesdropping a conversation about "the usual" (only if the ATE is missed and only in Disc 2).
* Obtaining the Black Belt in the items shop makes "the usual" option unavailable.
