My thoughts on this part:
I/ Love Unrequited
Some may think that calling Tony's mother is best choice because Tony's action toward Mathilda is a bit creepy ๐ค, I also though so at first. But honestly, when you like someone, you will act like Tony. In fact, Mathilda's personality is also weird, not just Tony, I mean she become liking him just because he was kicking my ass, WTF? ๐ (as if this ending was Tony's fantasy dream๐คฃ). Because running away in the game is counted as a loss so I just did it. But normally. I don't think anyone could come up with the ideal to lose him on purpose to complete this quest. Due to its difficulty and for perfect happiness, I think I will choose this route ๐
II/ Le Mann, Explorer Extraordinaire (I)
Not sure why the hell Harry add this line when complete the quest (14:20โ), and he didn't appear in the whole story, either.
Harry: my job here is done
Me: you didn't do anything๐
IV/ Fertile Fields
At least, we helped this town a bit. I remember they made meme about how Therion had to steal shit๐
V/ Noelle, Seeker of Knowledge (I)
It was like historians debating whether King Arthur really existed.
VI/ Never Forget
Whether you choose Ophilia or Primrose, he will mistake them as Loire (O 42:59; P 44:20). I don't think the two of them look alike enough to make him mistaken, obviously this guy is just trying to flirt ๐. Put the joke aside, the ending is really sad. Sounds like a D but I have no intention of giving him Loire's diary because it's limited, I would never do that in real life though ๐ฅ
V/ The Bouncer
50:26 So this guy was the one who bought the Tavern after Helgenish death. Now I understand why I didn't notice him after finishing Primrose chapter 1. I did steal him before doing her story and then I thought that his line will remain the same so I never look back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCnBu5bB-ws&t=37m44s). Makes sense & seems like he is a nice guy ๐ถ
54:09 The information is slightly changed after completing the quest (51:20), it did mention his wife this time.
VI/ Her Time to Shine
Blue dancer intended to quit dancing but thanks to Sickly Girl, she decided to stay (1:09:57). Remind me of some Vtuber case. If we choose the other path, the sickly girl will never be able to see her idol again. I think this is the best and very humane option. Also, I don't lose Diva's dress this way ๐
