@Lunar_Sky Hopefully you've learned to just abandon this series and stop dumping time into it via sunk cost fallacy after this point. It's clear Falcom won't change their ways at this point, and that the passion and true quality the series had back in the Sky and Falcom days is just gone. I dropped them after Sen 4 and never looked back, and I've been so much happier since. There's much better series that pull off the whole interconnected character-driven overarching narrative better anyway like Xenoblade, Dragon Quest, and FF7 Compilation to name a few. This series isn't worth your time of day.
