I fought a painting and a book and got two more orbs.

I ain't gonna lie, this part feels like a bit of a drag and the stories aren't particularly interesting. And suddenly we're introduced to some asshole named Mordegon who I assume will be our sub-boss to the final villain.

Like that little extra part at the end of getting the second orb where the witch didn't get put back in the book didn't feel all that necessary. You could have just had the Queen go "she's powerless and she doesn't deserve to be locked in that book forever, let's free her." Boom, done. I also like how she says "oh, she taught me how to be a better queen" yet the witch literally gets the question wrong meaning she would be a horrible queen.

I'm trying to figure out what exactly the painting lady was. Like, was she just some sort of sentience given physical form?

Also I'm kind of bummed I'm gonna have to stop using the armors that change appearances.

A lot of them seem to be linked to post-game play. Are there any unique ones I can still get before I go post-game?

Right, so the world gets fucked in a little bit. It should be obvious when that's about to happen. You don't need to magic key everything, but things do change for a while.

It depends on how long you want to wait to complete some of them. If you want the rewards now, you'd best get them finished.

The Hero definitely gets at least one more outfit before post game off the top of my head.

Also I don't even necessarily agree with calling post game the 'post game' because there is important story information in it and a clear plot goal as well as the wrapping up of a lot of characters plot arcs.

It's certainly structured like a post game but otherwise, not sure I agree with calling it that in general. I certainly wouldn't say someone has 'beaten the game' without clearing it, at least.

So I noticed that Rab didn't appear in any of the cutscenes while recruiting Sylvando. Am I correct to assume that there's no real set order for reuniting with your lost compatriots, or in fact you could literally go to end game with just you and Hendrick?

Getting some Octopath Traveler feelz here.

I'm not sure about Rab, but you need to get Sylv back to get the boat, which you need to get any further.

You need to get Rab and Sylv to get the boat and go get the rest, but you do have a lot of freedom in how you recruit all of your party members. (Eventually you need to have all of them so it's not quite Octopath, but it's neat how flexible the game is in this stretch.)

Btw, I didn't realize this but it was the first time I had Rab in my lineup. That's pretty crazy.

Not sure what my final lineup will be. Leaning MC, Hendrik, Jade, and Veronica.
