For those of you on hardcore, this is the "terrifying" part of the game. You need not fight every enemy as you see them, and some may be outright too hard for you. Or maybe you can fight one or two, but then you have to go back to town. Battles become much easier after you activate Burst, so... you'll definitely want to learn to abuse that feature. For Lotte in particular, wait for Wilbell in the second chapter to do any real fighting.
- Lotte
- Just keep fumbling through her events till you are allowed to go to a field for Raoul.
- Once you gather at this area, you'll get Miruca.
- Why are the cleaning requests so addicting?
- Exclusive trophy, of course, when you meet Wilbell.
- As soon as you put 500 items in the container, you'll get a scene and life task for 999 items. Don't go out of your way to get these; they'll both happen naturally. The scene can trigger at any point after this chapter too.
- Stera
- You start with Jurie and Kortes, so you don't face the difficulties Lotte does.
- Once you hit level 10, you'll get a scene with Kortes and a life task to get to level 50. This can trigger whenever, so no rush to get it.
Once you go through an area, I suggest creating the basic alchemic items you have available. They make a huge difference.
The game requires you to do Life Tasks. Depending on the rate at which you fulfill them, your motivation will go up or down. If your motivation is low, you get a reduced walking speed, and the game will otherwise try to annoy you. The game is telling you that you need to stop screwing around, basically. Worry not; in the final chapter, your motivation will be permanently maxed, so just try and avoid grindy behaviors until then. When you do tasks, you may see that you received an exp bonus. This will take effect the next time you battle or synth.
The plot required life task(s) should be fairly obvious, because you really aren't allowed to even THINK about anything else until you've satisfied the plot. After that, you get free time to do other main life tasks. You don't have to do all the main tasks, and frankly, you can't. Once you do enough, the game will sweep the rest of them away. Certain life tasks are triggered by others. For instance, an equipment task will lead to another task telling you to make accessories. If you are the OCD sort, I have /most/ of these tasks listed.
In order to trigger any free time life task, you do these basic things first: turn in a request, go to the world map, make an item.
As for all the other kinds of life tasks, however, you should be able to do all of those, if you are so inclined.
Soon, you'll meet Katla on Hilt Street; she runs a shop and you should definitely buy her recipe books when you can afford it.
So here's a tip. Talk to everyone once each chapter till you get the life task for talking to 50 people. (I dunno if repetition works, honestly.) It'll upgrade your bell/broom swing so you can annihilate enemies without battling.
