PoR Conclusion x3

Once again, we conclude the genius that is Path of Radiance. For someone who tried to do things differently, I sure did fail. I mean, sure, the conclusion was overwhemlingly successful, but the majority of my finale roster included the same people as my previous run-throughs. Aside from the required Ike & Ena, we have:

Titania^*
Oscar*
Tanith
Volke
Bastian
Rolf^*
Rhys^*
Shinon*
Mist
Jill
Haar
Stefan^
Giffca

key:
* = used in both previous play-throughs;
^ = maxed exp.

Though if you noticed, Shinon is not maxed, as he has been through every Tellius game I've ever played (pretty much). I didn't promote him fast enough before he left this time, so he was seriously lacking when he came back. And by that time Rolf had already surpassed him, so... yeah. Though in retrospect, I can't figure out why neither of them acquired deadeye.

Can I tell you how excited I am that I maxed Rhys? He's a frail priest and all, but he sure does rock when given a weapon. Purge FTW. (He was also the first maxed out, and rather early, which is how I was able to promote Mist at all [come on, what's the point of using someone during the game that can't gain anymore exp?].)

I never really used Bastian before, as Soren usually rocked by that point, but I hadn't been working on Soren too much so I switched mages. Which is fine by me, because he buddied up with Volke rather nicely. By the way, lethality? AMAZING.

A supports:
Volke/Bastian
Jill/Haar
Neither of which I've done before in PoR. Oscar & Tanith's C-support kicked in too late in the game, though I tried really hard to work on that relationship. And forget about Jill & Mist. The A-support never popped up. I've already decided to A-support Soren & Stefan during my next round of RD, by the way. We'll see if I can. (Oh, why can't we play in the desert earlier in the game?)

Next time I'm playing on hard. I think I'm prepared for it.
