Walkthrough / Playthrough / Let's Play

Description:

Osborne, Ouroboros, and the Black Workshop succeed in making Rean kill the Divine Beast of Earth, resulting in the entire country being cursed and primed for war against Calvard. It's up to the new Class VII to rescue Rean from the villains and gather allies to end this war and the curse.

=======================================================

0:00 Cursed Cedric

Cedric reveals that he knows about Osborne being Dreichel's reincarnation and believes that the Arnor family must serve him. He's also eager to kill everyone and leave Rean just barely living before the rivalry starts. The party points out that he lacks the compassion needed to be a leader and that he's clearly not going to be able to fight Osborne in the final rivalry if he's also hero-worshipping the chancellor. Cedric has a mental breakdown and remembers that he made a deal with Osborne, Alberich, and Ishmelga to receive the curse's power. He regrets his actions, but realizes that the curse fed on his desire to become as strong as everyone around him.

16:23 Boss: Cedric & Shirley

I wonder if these battles are scripted so you party can move before the enemy, even though the monster book lists their speed as higher.

22:29 Rivalry Activated

Cedric brings in two Melgeas to fight alongside him, but we're allowed to bring in a third party member too.

24:47 Boss: Vermillion Knight Testa-Rossa

For some reason, Valimar got bonus stats for winning the previous rivalry, despite Rufus stealing most of that power. Weird it didn't kick in during the battle with Alan. Maybe it has something to do with Arianrhod restoring the Millium sword, which Rean chose not to use against Alan.

This time, I did a little better and managed to unleash a Unite attack against Testa-Rossa's enhanced state, allowing me to break him. It's a lot easier when we have three party members to juggle defense and BP upkeep.

Note that if you have Rean and Crow initiate a Unite attack normally, they'll use their default ones. However, if they finish off the boss with a normal attack or craft, they get to use Deadly Domination.

38:33 Prince's Nap

Cedric falls unconscious and Shirley decides to sleep on top of him. Don't forget to grab the Zemurian Ore shard on the way out.

47:50 Garden

55:05 Empyreal Fortress Hall C

59:26 Questioning Ouroboros

The group realizes that it's hard to make sense of Ouroboros's actions and that they seem to be setting up situations with Septerions, only to mostly observe the outcome.

1:08:08 Boss: Mariabell & Campanella

Campanella can copy the Ironbloods' Dis-Orders, which means he's not limited to copying Ouroboros members.

1:15:49 Possible World

Campanella confirms that Ouroboros is mainly there to observe in this possible world, which implies Zemuria is a simulation. Epstein also figured this out at some point, which brings up questions about F. Novartis. This may explain the alternate prologue in CSIII despite KeA no longer having time powers.
