Episode 1 done~
The tone is very wholesome with some negativity mixed in for plot advancement. I think Phantom Brave does a good job balancing out its working parts which has kept me revisiting this game several times ^^!

Also, unlike makai kingdom, true to most other NIS titles the whole map needs to be cleared. So expect a much longer playthrough, for better or for worse ^^;
Speed is king! Turn Order will be coming up all maronas soon!

The other nifty thing is how character limits work: Weapons count towards it!
It's possible to suit up characters without weapons but it takes a lot longer to build up a character to reach that solo-leveling power due to the scarcity of a really rare item type x.x

Everything has weapon viability! You can even mix and match skills later in the game ^^!
Make whatever and whichever unit you like massively overpowered! One of the best traits of Phantom Brave!
(The weed only run is a 100% Viable Strat, corpses not so much~)

Meet Greenland!
A blacksmith who reinforces weapons (levels them up!) Sorta needed for post-game but there is another, cuter, more powerful unit we will get next chapter ^^!

You'd think talking to spirits would be a sought-after power in any dangerous world. Get to talk to deceased ones, no?

Two valuable life lessons. It's always best to make your own opinions and keep your spirits high!
Can't believe everything you hear especially pertaining to people. Usually, it is some negative chatter that gets really mucky 🤢

Idunno what accent this is supposed to be, but is this how wolves usually talk?
Most of the ones I've met aren't very talkative. Heard they're a hoot-and-holler, howlever...

Slimes? In your RPG? It's more likely than you think!
Also, most important characters have some "battle cry" that relates to some shade of color ^^! It's for fun~

Gotta keep my cool~ This big bleeding demon monster is pretty dope. Like the floating hands and spikes gouging into them.
Has bone-like armor but packed with blood and flesh inside (like if humans were in a calcium exosuit!)
We will see more of it ^^!

The Girl of the Hour(s), Marona. A PERMANENT unit whose value should not be undersold. She acts as the Nexus for gameplay with her ability to confine souls to objects on the battlefield!
(Even if I prepare for the story, the tears will escape my eyes regardless 🥹)

The first of many supporting units! Trying a theme for this game, but might need to check my geography soonish once I run out of improper nouns ^^;
(Also regardless of a class's strongest stat any and all stats can be used offensively so sky's the limit!)

Marona's spirit guardian, Ash. He's a good character and above average unit with the unique "Solemn Vow" that doubles his offensive stats on his last turn.
(Will probably do EN first half then JP dub second half. This story should be peak regardless of language~)

Splashing around the most humble of abodes. I love this island so much. Wasted hours just walking and jumping around it. There are some more secrets but I'll worry about that if it is needed ^^!

I know this game recently got a sequence which I might make time to play later in the year ^^!
This game takes itself a little more seriously akin to Rhapsody and La Pucelle (if anyone has played either of those)

There's a character in story that understands, but we get there when we get there ^^!
Beautiful backgrounds and wonderful sprites as always. (Makai Kingdom could have benefited from more cutscenes)

This game is NIS's best work. Some would say Disgaea 1 even Disgaea 4. Nah, this game as far as I care is the best in their series of trpgs.
Phantom Brave will commence after some slumber, but still have so much energy ;u;
