Oh, for the sake of completion. But I won't have my Leon... Maybe if I play as Rena, I'll have Claude, Opera, Chisato, and Welch.

Actually... why not challenge yourself a bit? Rena and three others? You've begun solos in First Departure. Why not assemble the worst team in Rena's story? To show how much you hate it.

You mean... Rena and three other characters who I hate. Or Rena and three completely useless characters?

Why not? It's a one-time thing. Make it hell, to show that to you, she is the DEVIL INCARNATE!

But I want to get through the game quickly to erase the memories of it, so I should be using the best party. Just for the sake of completion.

I'd still do it. Just to seem how it goes. Get Ashton to block Opera and complete the suckiness. Remember, you have to use Rena and not Claude!

Why can't I use Claude, though? Rena just punches enemies with her fists!

But then I'd have to waste hours playing as... Rena... They should have made Leon a story, too! I signed him up for Cooking Master just to move around the field as him. He looks like he's hopping!^^

But, wouldn't it be more interesting? I'd do it for the thrill of the suckiness!

There is no thrill in suckiness. In pains to move around the whole world as her. Maybe I'll get you to play her mode for me.

Ralz commands you... play as Rena with the worst party imaginable! *Blinding light!*

Well, what would be the worst party imaginable? If I were to go for it, I would only play Earth mode, so I can get through it quickly. And I would savor the moment where Leon becomes available momentarily!

Well, having Ashton blocks out Opera, so there's one. Why not go on Gamefaqs? They have full details on all characters, and you can judge for yourself what's the worst. Once again, I DID NOT see a difficulty setting in the game...

But Ashton does not suck himself, right? That would be a failure, then.

Anyone who's played Rena's story, how different is the first part from Claude's?

He's alright. He's a half-way decent fighter. If you're looking for a filler party member, he's your guy.

But it seems pretty pointless assembling the worse party for the playthrough. I don't want to prolong it any more!

Aw, come one, Fate! You could set a record here! You could post all your progress in a progress thread I think I'll make on this forum. That way, people will learn the ancient stories of a boy who suffered, but in the end, achieved victory!

And for Rena's beginning, I've only seen a video, but it starts with Rena going to the forest, and from there encountering Claude.

Fine, I will play as Rena, using my most hated party. Ugh, Noel... But that's only after I finish Universe and then Chaos Mode. And I'm playing Rena's story on an easy difficulty!=P

I liked both pretty much equally. Claude's had more scope, but Rena's had more depth and emotion on some points. I think in order to fully enjoy all aspects of the game, including recruiting all of the characters, you'd need toplay through both stories multiple times. Which is what I did...and still do!
This is why I prefer Rena's story. Also I like having Dias just becuase I think he's cool :cool:

Ooh~ I'm glad you're enjoying it (anybody with common sense would anyhow) <3

Be sure to pick up Ashton for your party. He is far better than the Opera/Ernest duo. Spam Hurricane Slash like nobody's business and you have a sure win.

Ashton - Precis - Leon/Celine - Noel are your best bets as final party. The Rena story arc is great. You should play through both sides before reviewing the game, though.

I just find Claude's story much easier. He is the best character in the game. Leon is pretty good too, because he has some of the most unique spells.

Of course, Dias is a very useful character too, but Claude is better, and Dias has a very negative personality, for good reason of course. But I also hate parts when I HAVE to use Rena because Claude is out of the party. I just want to Mirrorslash everything. haha
