Olberic, Chapter 4

You see the distant flames, they bellow in the night.
You fight in all our names for what we know is right.
And when you all get shot and cannot carry on
Though you die, La Resistance lives on.

Olberic's final Chapter was his darkest, and it moved very quickly in order to tie up the whole story. Werner was an asshole, he had to go. The only problem I had is that the closure didn't seem as personal as I had hoped, and it was just Olberic going and putting down a bully.

Erhardt showing up mid chapter was a pleasant surprise. I feel like there is no Olberic without Erhardt at this point, and he should be an integral part of the closure, though that closure seemed a bit light regardless. After the fighting, Erhardt goes on his way, and Olberic returns to Cobbleston. We see Philip again, but I really was hoping there would be some mom wooing going on as well, and Olberic would get into that Instant Family. I mean there's nothing stopping me from thinking that happened, but it'd be nice for the story to usher that in as well lol.

During the fight with Werner, I noticed that Olberic didn't do any mid combat dialogue, like Ophelia did. In fact it was a pretty straight forward boss fight, I wouldn't have even been able to tell the difference that it was the final fight in a character's story. I had no difficulty with this fight at all, and I'm not entirely sure if it's just because it was an easy fight, or if I really am just better at the game, but my character levels and gear weren't any better than Ophelia's boss fight, and I struggled far more with her.

I used Tressa as a Merchant/Priest, Olberic as Warrior/Apothecary, Primrose as Dancer/Scholar, and Therion as Thief/Hunter. I continue to bring Therion along solely for the purpose of opening Purple Chests so I don't need to backtrack again.

There was one thing I caught in the story telling that piqued my interest, and that was something in regards to a "Gate of Finis" that hadn't been mentioned previously, and wasn't mentioned again in Olberic's story. I assume if there is something at the end of the game, this might be relevant. I don't recall anything in Ophelia's Chapter 4 mentioning the Gate of Finis, just something about the Dark God's ressurection, but if I am tying things together at the end as @hombad46 mentioned, they might be connected, and I'll need to pay attention to the other Chapter 4s.
