Motivation, character development, boss that ties it in. Best Chapter 1 so far. I like the mystery of who killed Primrose's father, and I could totally see Primrose and Cyrus discussing the case while travelling (just as I'm sure Cyrus and Olberic talk about the fall of Hornburg). Primrose being a Dancer (and probably more than that considering the commentary from her "Master") is not something you would expect a hero to rise out of, but she put herself there intentionally, and she reminds me of Black Widow from Marvel in that regards. We are showcased the pains she endures, mentally, physically, and emotionally, and the Chapter delivers well on it all. When Yusufa is killed at the end, Primrose's story had it's hooks in me. I even created my own narrative that if I had started the game over, it would be Primrose as my main as she helps others with their turmoils, or just charms them into joining her lol. I swapped out Cyrus for Prim's chapter, and I feel like I struggled a bit more than I normally did on the previous chapters. I had to guess a bit more on weaknesses, but I also didn't really have a heavy hitter (Ophelia 4x Boost Holy Light and Luminescence were my nukes). I was able to take two NPCs into battle with me with Guide and Charm, so they ended up doing the bulk of the dps with Tressa picking up the rest. None of that detracted from the enjoyment I had on this particular chapter, however, and I'm excited to see where this leads. Overall, I'd rate Primrose's Chapter 1 a... 9.5/10 --- ...
