Finishing up Yggdra Union now (around BF 44) and I am going to move on to Riviera next...I've heard tell that Riviera's a lot easier on completionists, but how much easier? ^_^
Actually I generally just play through RPGs normally and don't bother too much with the sidequests/extra stuff unless it's really interesting...but for games as good as YU and Riviera I tend to go the extra mile and try to see all the endings/get ultimate weapons etc. Will it be really hard to do that in Riviera? Will I need to S-Rank every battle and hoard TPs like there's no tomorrow?
No need for specific answers...I just want a general "feel" of the game so that I don't play a chapter or 2 and find myself having to restart (like I did for YU) The FAQs aren't that helpful because many of them are spoiler-ridden. :(
Hmm, items aren't a huge concern for me unless they are really powerful or make a big difference in gameplay - I'm looking more for scene completion, since I'm a story person. Should I just work to keep all the girls' Trust and Mood around equal until Chapter 6, then shift whoever I want for Chapter 7? (that's my idea so far...)
