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.
=======================================================
0:00 Title Screen
Apparently, this is supposed to be Episode 14 of the entire series. What episodes are Promise and New Theory? Does this take place before or after the previous two games?
0:26 Solitary Respite
The protagonist wakes up to find a hooded/blindfolded man, who only spews cryptic nonsense. He tells the protagonist that she must regain her memories and learn the truth about herself and this ruined world.
Unlike me, I recommend learning non-passive skills first, since having extra options in battle is more important.
Be sure to talk to the white-haired girl, Camellia before continuing to the first dungeon.
9:06 Twilight Steppes
9:47 Golem Champion
Somehow, the protagonist remembers the entire battle system.
It's actually possible to beat the Golem Champion as your first encounter, especially if you spend 10 TP to boost.
12:34 Twilight Steppes P2
Along with the switches from the previous node-based games, you can now pick up keys to unlock non-switch doors. Strangely, these don't show up as a key item in the inventory and there's no real visual indicator for possessing a key.
Strangely, we no longer have Master Cores, just regular Ether Cores. They don't seem to come with stat or resistance demerits like before.
The protagonist meets a shortstack elf, Wynne, and learns that her name is Konoe. Unfortunately, Wynne warns Konoe that she's about to transform into a boss monster, and that Konoe must defeat her.
21:42 Boss: Envoy of the Beginning (Lose)
I underestimated the boss's damage output and got KOed. The boss can move at least twice per round and can deal 300-400 total if they use their best skills.
22:55 Boss: Envoy of the Beginning (Win)
This time, I played a little more defensively. It helps to use Focus more often and maintain EX Boost.
26:01 Wynne's Death
Wynne thinks Konoe can set things right, but what exactly is she supposed to set right?
26:44 Solitary Respite P2
The hooded man shows up again and states that Wynne sacrificed herself to save what was left of the world, but now that she's dead, one of the Star Fragments shattered. It's unknown if this is a good or bad thing.
Be sure to talk to Camellia again.
30:34 Azure Wastelands
31:38 Monolith Champion
32:34 Azure Wastelands P2
Konoe's next friend, Ryuna, is something of a foodie and is already cooking something by the time they reunite. She states that the world was destroyed by a force know as "despair," which may be the curse from New Theory.
37:05 Boss: Envoy of the Present
Is it just me, or do the boss's normal attacks do more than some of its spells?
39:22 Ryuna's Death
40:41 Solitary Respite P3
The hooded man claims that he doesn't like the current situation, but is he seeking the world's salvation or destruction?
It turns out Camellia is blind. She also experienced some kind of loss in the past.
The next area is the Starlight Plains, but I fought a champion less then 10 seconds in, making the timestamps a bit more complicated for this video.
45:26 Mighty Shadow Warlock Champion
This is the strongest champion in the game. It's possible to beat it the moment you enter the area, but if you don't feel confident, you may want to fight some weaker foes first. It's also weak to Phantasmic Array.
48:48 Starlight Plains
Konoe tries not saying Kell's name in the hopes that she won't transform, but the latter transforms anyways. Also, the despair may have been engineered by a person rather than being a natural phenomenon.
52:21 Boss: Envoy of the End
She can inflict an ailment on you, so make sure to save up enough EX just in case. Also, I didn't realize this, but you can double stack EX Boost buffs.
57:10 Kell's Death
58:33 Solitary Respite
1:02:11 To Be Continued
Konoe walks into a futuristic looking area. The object in the background might be Miltiades, but I can't be sure. Hopefully, the completed version of the game sheds light on this.
It turns out Camellia is an associate of the hooded man. What exactly is Pars Mythos?
