With the Steam version coming out, I thought I should finish the Switch version that I had since Holiday 2022 and share this finale, and it was one of those JRPG games that right away took my interest simply because its original Super Famicom version that it was released the same day when I was born (September 2nd 1994) so I knew this game was for me and I loved it. My favorite protags is Akira mainly because his story reference 80s & 90s Mecha animes and I grew up watching those lmao. Oboromaru is also my favorite.

Anyways, The Dominion of Hate is very long compared to every other character's chapter unless you're going for the Trials to get powerful weapons for every character and finding good gear to prepare for the Final Battle against Lord of the Dark, Odio himself.

As for the True Ending requirement, you pretty much have to recruit everyone, even if the party is limited to 4, it will still work, you can depart someone for another member you haven't recruited yet and come back for them the next time you're ready for the final boss.

I'll likely pick this game up again on Steam for that sweet 60 FPS and also make videos for it.
