That's just my style!).

It sort of builds you up before sending you off a waterfall.

Sweet artbook too! Only thing that is a bit annoying is having to break crates, barrels, etc for items to recruit players. Other that that, great game! I'm diggin everything about this game.

Yea right, it's just so convenient that you "bought" the game right after the rom was dropped on the 11th. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. What a pretentious little pig, you “bought” the game.

It´s not all backstory, though. Sometimes you get real gameplay tips: F.ex. early in the game you get two knights, one pretty useless with low VIT and loyalty. They are friends (revealed by Pause Talk) and so the other can get huge bonuses through a Transoul. I like that, as it makes talking optional but rewards those who care. Thought so.

I'm absolutely a completionist, so it annoys me when I can't recruit a knight just because I didn't wail on crates and logs long enough two chapters ago. But I'll just have to get over it. There really is no gameplay penalty for missing knights - there's an abundance of able characters throughout the game - but the whole Finding + Using Key Items system is suuuch an obnoxious way to handle character recruitment.
