Part 3 was the best part yet, I'd say. Climax back on par with Part 1's and the rest of the part was already the best yet.
I took Jusis and Gaius along. Wish I could have taken Jusis and Alisa but alas. Gaius narrowly won over Emma because I wanted to see if we got some Dominion takes. "Now we know everyone from the branch campus is okay!" w o w New Class VII really threw Tita under the bus there upon confirming Freddy's safety. Lots of cool music in this section, Geofront Theme big improvement over CS3's and while I wasn't quite expecting that Mishelam theme I quickly liked it. Oh dear a new minigame but time for the main event... challenging Mishy in Vantage Masters. Real talk I was half expecting him to turn out to be Juna's dad filling in for a staff shortage.
Climax was where the real fun began though. Altina with the callout on Lechter was good but also lechter you were in the gral and osborne wasn't talking about getting rid of the curse bro. Unless Osborne was just trolling Rean with his motive rant which let's be honest would be 100% in character I think. Juna putting Campanella on blast was A+++ too, both on its own and for actually striking a nerve and getting him to drop some interesting info that he's an apparent exception in the "Enforcers can do whatever they want" rule. Some of Rufus's lines when he popped out with his Divine Knight came off as really flat though, to the point where I started wondering if he was being intentionally sarcastic or something but I think it was just bad direction. Keeping with the themes of "these callouts are great" Jusis's to Rufus was as well.
Then the party really started popping off when Estelle, Joshua, Renne, Lloyd, Elie, and Bleublanc arrived. lmao Estelle and Joshua just trashing Soldats on foot - these guys don't even know they've been beating the crap out of giant mechs from like day one. You know, I actually started harboring a deep suspicion that Aleister was an undercover Bleublanc back in Part 1 because at one point Aleister's dialogue with Count Altheim updates and he goes 200% Bleublanc with "struggling against adversity is the essence of beauty" type stuff and Count Altheim is like "...what the?" Also Rufus can say what he wants, dude totally ran away because Divine Knight or no he was going down against that lineup lmao.
(Technically the Chapter ended here following comments just cover the scenes up until you regain control)
o ya Renne joining the party! lmfao at Renne and KeA ruining Roselia's time to shine and her spending the following scenes sulking about it.
oh no i forgot to report character note/battle/book data before the end of part fight but there were like a billion scenes so we'll just be a bit late on that not like it should matter i think also in my defense the other parts didn't actually end until AFTER the rest day not before like this one though I still had been reporting them before walking into the obvious climax battles.
