Finished what I suppose I would call "Chapter 1". The top half of the chapter 1 map is still untouched battlewise though. Going to finish Rebirth first and come back to clean up and continue. It's not so daunting when you realize a bunch of those purple fights are like 10-20 in-game seconds long.

I wonder how it's going to balance being able to go down to completely different sides of the map in whatever order you want? Maybe I'll just end up going back and forth, though, nothing really stopping you.

It's pretty easy to just book it through enemy territory on the top half of the chapter 1 map to collect all the resources. I could have gotten Ochiys ages ago by spending like 2 more Divine Shards, but I wanted to save for that Carnelian Pendant so bad. Finally got her though.....of course now I've collected 4 Lapis and 3 Carnelian Pendants through various means. Since I've managed to gain like 5 units over the course of 2 battles, guess it's time for a full squad and gear refresh.
