Description:
The continent of Valindis recently went through a war that abruptly ended when a massive explosion consumed the eastern part of the continent. The Kingdoms of Taryn, Escanya, and Gravos come to an uneasy truce that predictably doesn't last long. The one at the epicenter of the explosion, Glenn, is haunted by his mistakes and seeks to find the truth behind the incident.

0:00 Recap
0:18 Flying to Tormund
1:53 Tormund Castle
You have to shut down all the cannons if you want to enable flight mode and obtain all the treasures.
Remember that big humanoid giant that Matthye was going to send against the party in Kortara Mountain Pass? Now you can fight them with your Sky Armor. They have counter stances, so make sure to only use magic when they're in that state.
One of the cannons is behind a story event, where Gwayn reveals that he's the voice in Glenn's head.
8:42 Boss: Gwayn and June (Max Difficulty Settings)
They won't fight seriously, but they can easily tank attacks from Sky Armors and Gwayn can drop anyone's HP to 1 at a whim. Make sure to stay above 1 HP at all times!
13:21 Tormund Castle P2
Gwayn leaves because he feels he did enough to feign loyalty to Frederik. For some reason, he wants Glenn to claim the Grimoire.
Cameron shows up, but Torman stabs him because he would rather have Taryn win than Nabrelia. Victor then stabs Torman in turn.
Fortunately, there's an anvil and a merchant in the next section of the castle. For once, the game has some sense.
Near the end, you'll get a cutscene where the generals use the magic they received from the grimoire to defeat the entire Nabrelian fleet.
22:17 Boss: Sturm and Drang (Max Difficulty Settings)
26:44 Tormund Castle P3
Gwayn has a bad premonition and tells Glenn to keep his inner door open until Gwayn can get there. This fails and Maria the Valkyrie leader uses her cutscene powers to kill Lenne.
Three Vaens are now unsealed, but they state that this happened too early, so they sacrifice themselves to turn back time while warning Glenn he only has one chance to save Lenne.
Glenn manages to push Lenne out of the way in time. Gwayn shows up in a Seraph Armor, which is different from a Sky Armor. He throws the Grimoire to Glenn while making it look like he's bargaining for Frederik's life.
32:26 Aftermath of the War
Nabrelia is still repelled, even without the Grand Grimoire. Even still, the citizens of Valandis hate Frederik for oppressing them. It helps that most of the war effort was done with grimoire magic, which means conscripting and taking supplies seems like it was all for nothing.
33:16 Shambala Flashback
Lenne is engaged to an aristocrat, Van, who she doesn't like at all. You have to solve some puzzles to get to the balcony, where Timothy tells her that he wants to marry her, even if it means giving up on his position in the Leonar Order.
37:55 Hermit's Isle
Glenn is the only one aware that time was rewound to save Lenne.
Victor and Ba'thraz reveal that Glenn and Lenne have past lives. However, revealing all that information at once to them could cause their soul to go unstable, so they can't tell Glenn yet because he hasn't remembered anything on his own yet. The party's next destination is Shambala, where Lenne can learn about her past.
43:54 Gandebrath Society
Kylian really is sleeping with Zacheus. He still tries to tell himself that it'll be worth it.
44:46 Recruiting Triony
He's the fisherman in Farnsport's docks.
45:07 Hermit's Isle P2
45:33 Recruiting Bob
45:42 Hermit's Isle P3
45:56 Recruiting Murchand
46:22 Hermit's Isle P4
47:43 Recruiting Kayn Sivar
49:19 Airship Window Shopping
Kayn can help us buy airships from the Hooge. Too bad they're only cosmetic. IMO, they should have made airships into an Ultra Move for Sky Armor combat, where you can summon the airship to do something useful.
50:59 Recruiting Linus
You can go to Tormund's underground market to find a running dog, and recruit him.
51:28 Hermit's Isle P5
You should now have enough clan members for Clan Level 3.
You'll meet Tomke's granddaughter, Mikah, who has a quest in Ograne Grotto.
There are two clan members that I can recruit in Shambala, but I'll save that for when I get there.
