Snape, Sirius, and Luna all high good. Lupin, Dumbledore, and Ginny too low.

Zero no Kiseki watched.
In classic Trails fashion that sure escalated quickly towards the end. From towards the end of Chapter 4 all the way through the end is quite the trip!
Estelle with the burn of the game (series?) with: "I think Weissmann was a more decent person than you are." and Joshua agrees! A lot of super interesting stuff towards the end that raises a number of questions with me Namely the Cult logs, but also some things striking me as weird like Joshua estimating Demon Joachim to be worse than Aureole-fused Weissmann. like wtf Gnosis really pushed him above a damn Sept-Terrion? The high-end Gnosis abilities themselves raise a lot of questions too, like how legit were they? Clearly his insight wasn't foolproof given he lost but huh. And like okay, mind reading explains how he knew about Weissmann's Evil Eye ability but how the hell does it let him replicate it even if as an inferior copy? Unless Joshua vaguely knew how it worked?
Also, this piqued my interest from the Prologue given that I knew the general plot but Wazy actually makes a comment suggesting Dino from the Vipers was on/got ahold of Gnosis in the Prologue but no one follows up on his observation either at the time or later ever. Since I knew how things go, I recognized it as a Gnosis reference but I also increasingly started to wonder if it was a line out of place or something given I'm not sure the timeline works too well?
Speaking of the timeline, this has always had me wondering since 3rd really and Zero just confused things to the point where I was like "huh" even more (This one is safe for the most part if you've seen/played 3rd, I reference a line in Zero but I'm actively questioning its possible accuracy) Renne's timeline has always been something that I've tried to work out. She and Joshua know each other from his Ouroboros days which means that Loewe and Joshua took out Paradise, at a minimum, 5 years prior to FC because otherwise Joshua was with Cassius. Even Weissmann's brainwashing of Joshua to report doesn't make sense as a workaround because Joshua himself isn't aware of those memories... unless Weissmann unlocked them at the end of FC which... well okay he would do that but would Joshua really be gone long/frequently enough to pull this off with Estelle not noticing he just peaces out all the time?
But [the main villain] in Zero states that Paradise's destruction was conducted a year ago, during the Liberl incident, by Ouroboros. ...which doesn't check out at all. Unless they are grossly misinformed and Renne/someone torched the place during/after SC and they're mistaking that as the destruction of the place rather than the actual Loewe/Joshua raid that occurred 5-6 years prior to that. However, they're vaguely aware of Renne, if not by name, so like... that doesn't seem very likely? idk it just bugged me. ---
