Description:
The United Kingdom of Euchronia is home to many races, but there is discrimination and castes based on both race and wealth, leading to unrest. Worse yet, Count Louis Guiabern assassinated King Hythlodaeus V, starting a competition over the next in line for the throne. The protagonist, an Elda boy, must gather allies for the Resistance and find a way to save the comatose crown prince so that peace can be restored to the realm, but this will be a difficult task due to how his race is at the bottom of the caste.

=======================================================
0:00 Opening Movie
4:13 Title Screen
I changed dodge to one of the shoulder buttons. I don't know why developers always make both dodging and attacking face buttons.
4:56 Naming the Guide
7:44 Bandit Ambush
10:34 Tradia Desert
You're not supposed to engage the enemies here, since they are very strong. However, you can pick up at least two healing items if you're skilled enough.
19:12 Grand Trad
I wish the game's minimap marked new conversations and events. Maybe the Trails series spoiled me too much.
22:10 MC's Mission
The MC is tasked with joining the Euchronian army in order to meet the Resistance's contact.
23:20 Grand Trad
42:46 Recruitment Centre
I named my character Allegory.
55:03 Fantasy Book
It describes a modern Earth where discrimination doesn't exist and there is only one tribe. The readers have no idea that one tribe just found other ways to divide themselves.
57:07 Pauper and Prince
The Prince of Euchronia was a childhood friend of the MC and wanted to bring about equality, but he got cursed and is now in a coma.
59:55 Traveling
1:02:36 Northern Border Fort
Humans in this game refer to grotesque monsters, not humans as we know them IRL. They killed almost everyone in the fort, and it's up to the MC and Strohl to take out the humans.
The game's action combat mode seems to be a weird combination of the Crossbell and Erebonia arc's ambush system and Calvard's action combat. Enemies can stun you if they hit you at a bad angle, but if you hit them in the back before they notice you, you can immediately stun them instead of having to win several interactions in a row. I personally prefer Calvard's system.
There's no save point in the dungeon, but it does autosave when you pick up an item.
1:28:22 Boss: Homo Gorleo
The first round is unwinnable, but it forces the MC to unlock the Seeker archetype.
For the second round, you have to target the body parts and eventually have Gallica destroy the fruit. Why couldn't she use this powerful AOE before?
1:38:03 Meeting the Contact
Grius is the contact and he fortunately survived. Strohl overhears the others talking about the Resistance's cause and decides to join for the sake of his noblesse oblige.
