Today, we return to our starting place of Grand Trad as we prepare to take down Louis for real this time! With just a month left, let’s enjoy the time we have before we bring everything to the end.

Soon a long journey will finally reach its conclusion
After all that info dump last episode you finally got a bit of breathing room and doing whatever you feel like focusing on. Hanging out with Followers, doing side quests, getting stronger!
Here's to hoping Evan and Ali will be able to finish Metaphor in time for the release of Project: Eden's Garden Chapter 1.
You need rank 8 all your followers
Starting the video in Yarnham it seems like.
From what I've heard, Royal Archetypes are magnificently overpowered, so I'd definitely encourage you to work on those!
I'm surprised you didn't max out Maria sooner. She's precious, and her rank up bonuses can be invaluable in the long run. Honestly, compared to Persona, this game gives you a lot more leeway to max everyone out in one go. It's refreshing.
First the crew accidentally drank priestess girl bath water, and now a lady is hiring us to bottle up prince boy bath water.
Royal Slash and Royal Sword do physical damage but scale off of the higher stat between strength and magic
Rebuilding trust is hard, but it’s welcome in Euchronia.
This last month is going to be busy with friends and quests, but I'm sure you'll be able to get through most if not all of it. This game is very lenient on time allocation.
Regarding who my favorite character is: I'm torn between Eupha and Basilio. Bas is just…very earnest, and surprisingly kind given his backstory. He wants to make the world better, he just struggles with how at first. And Eupha is someone who has re-discovered life after waiting her whole life to die, she has such gusto for connecting with others different from her.
Also, Maria's storyline is beautiful and emotionally mature. She helps start mutual aid in her neighborhood, and learns to use her voice.
I love how a lot of these lore bombs ends with the response of the listener saying "let me get this straight".
30:08 I'm actually still having a hard time deciding. I know I said in a previous part that my favorite is Eupha, and with her being a cute sweet cinnamon roll, I can see her being my favorite. But Gallica is just so much fun, with a good balance of a generally kindhearted nature and having some great snarky comments, so I could also see her being my favorite! And while Strohl is ever so slightly behind the two of them, I still really love him for his brave and supportive personality and making some truly impressive speeches
To answer the question of who my favorite character is: Hulkenberg.
For most of the game I just liked how she was very capable and trying to learn from her past while also being an absolute goofball. As the story continued, I noticed that she’s one of the most compassionate and encouraging people in the game. I loved when she realized how she had been wrong about Eupha and was a key reason she awakened.
When Evan becomes king he'll change the pronunciation of the word "Grand", then everyone else will be wrong!
Am i just dumb or wasn't the previous part part 63 ? Like there's now two part 63's in your videos. Same thumbnail and everything 😅
59:56 THAT CAUGHT ME SO OFF GUARD, I LOVED IT🤣
Gallica is my favorite. She's an excellent companion character, plus she's just adorable.
21:05 Don't forget to do that quest that was tied to Alonzo. It does need to be during the night time, but it doesn't take up the night time so you can do something else afterwards! You do have practically an entire month to do whatever you like, but just don't want you to miss it! I know today was mostly a gather all the side quests day, so I'm sure you'll get to it.
Hope you work on the coliseum battles
56:50 Zoidberg- (gasp) A buffet! Oh, if only I brought my wallet with me.
Ms. Fabienne- Um, it's free.
Zoidberg- (Happy shrieking)
Made a strong bond with Maria
I am thou, thou art I
Thou has helped shed light on one's path
That light shines brighter than any polished coin
Thou has awakened the full potential of the Sun, granting victory against sinful feelings
The finale approaches, one month is all that’s left
My favorite team member is definitely basilio!!
#1 in my heart is Gallica…….but since we are not compatible with fairies i'll be content with Eupha as our queen, she is adorable too.
Relatively new to the channel any idea if they have played the Yakuza series before the channel? I think they would super love it though the first 7 games, 0-6, are jp dub only. From watching the persona lps and this I think they would vibe with the tone of the series.
About the question around 30:00 – It's Strohl, mainly for being arguably one of the smarter people in the party.
When I was watching my friend's playthrough of it (which was the first I watched to the end) we kept discussing the story as it happened and I really liked how Strohl was consistently one of the first to pick up on certain details we discussed earlier (sometimes immediately after, like the time they realized Drakodios' power and he was the first one to notice it was a weapon against Louis), or otherwise the one to come up with most of the party's plans. His plans aren't perfect, but at least he's one of the people who contributes the most on that front and it's always interesting to see his opinions on everything.
And of course, while he may not be the best at this (see below), what else there is to his character is pretty solid too. With all this combined, at a few points I even thought he seemed more of a protagonist than the main character; I could easily see this story still working fine if he was the MC (and they didn't turn him into a semi-silent protagonist, just left him as is).
That said, though, Basilio and Heismay aren't far behind. I think Heismay would legit be better than Strohl had he participated more in the story after the Martira arc; he stole the show there very easily, but then he's almost a background character afterwards and most of what makes him really good is the story on his Bond (which is optional). We even had a "Metal Gear" arc and despite being basically the party's ninja, he couldn't contribute because he'd stand out too much. The main story really did him dirty.
As for Basilio, I remember other games that had characters a lot like he is and those characters were some of my favorite in those games (an easy example I can think of would be Beat from TWEWY), so it's no surprise that I liked him so much. It helps a lot that the story gives him actual screen time way before he actually joins (and more than enough time to warm up to him). He has by far the best awakening scene, it's not even a contest.
And Eupha is the best girl, that's all
I'm repeating myself but I REALLY hope you guys can catch the other members in the hot spring in Altabury Heights (I think after finishing that lady's quest ab the bathwater?). Mainly because these chances are random, you can either bathe with one of them or alone, and I'm too curious about what they say and how they look withoutashirtcoughcough I mean what?
Anyway according to the internet:
Strohl on Flamesday
Basilio on Watersday
Heismay on Metalsday
The positive gossip comment was because of the Alonzo bonus
