Ophelia, Chapter 2
Party used: Ophelia (P/D), Therion (T/H), Olberic (W/A), Cyrus (S/M)

I generally liked this Chapter. It wasn't exciting at all, but there was a good deal of charm in it showcasing the type of person that Ophelia is. Very cute how she ties in her backstory with the handling of children, kind of like a GUIDEance Counselor :p.

If that "dog" was the one that stole the brooch though, I have to wonder why it didn't cause more of an uproar in town. Also, I Guided the Archbishop for the fight, so it was funny about his asking me what I was up to and what I thought of Saintsbridge.

The Dog wasn't particularly tough, but I almost "Beat the Snot," out of myself when I attempted using Bewildering Dance for the first time with Ophelia. I ended up doing 1600 damage to all my party, and the only person still standing was Oelbric with 400 HP lol. Luckily, he rebounded quickly, healing himself up with First Aid, and then got Ophelia up and I was able to get things rolling again. I'm guessing Bewildering Dance is a gamble, but that first use really put a sour taste in my mouth that I may not use it again any time soon.

I didn't mention it in Therion's Chapter 2, but I really like the Travel Banter. It's the only time you really get to see your characters interact with each other, and you can see how they play off each other during each Chapter.

In regards to Ophelia's Chapter, I do hope that we start to see some more mystery with her story. It's very open at the moment, but if I'm halfway through, I feel like there should be more than just "Travel to city, light fire, help resident with problem." I'm still waiting to see what Mattias was all about in the first Chapter too. While Therion's Chapters seem pretty evident on the direction they're taking, Ophelia's still seems to lack any real antagonist to be worried about and thus far appear to just be homages to herself as a character.
