    Don't know if it was ever stated, but whatever progress you made on the demo can be loaded into the main game. I choose to start fresh because I skipped nearly all of the dialogue in the demo.

    They included the original JP voice for Claude, but not NA. /sad

    I got a shipping update from Amazon earlier this week.

    I saw it was set to arrive "Thursday", so I assumed it meant release date Thursday. My brain literally did not comprehend or process the number after.

    ...it meant next fucking Thursday.

    How can Amazon still fuck this shit up at this point, and why the fuck did I order from Amazon? I guess it was less buttons and easier? Assumed it would release when its fucking supposed to? I guess not.

    No physical stores have it in stock anywhere around me. BestBuy only one shipping, will get here tomorrow. *sigh*

    I started a Rena run of this and completely forgot to check for Nimble Fingers, Rena didn’t get it but Claude has it so all good, got my Sword of Marvels out of the first Goodie Box from pickpocketing the old man in Marze, got a second goodie box and ended up with a Sorcerer’s Cesti for Rena, so 2 1000+ ATK weapons pretty much right off the hop is pretty good.

    Im guessing this means a lot of the chicanery and "chapter 1 nukes" from the OG release are still intact?

    I did not dive this hard into SO2 the first time around, how important is it to reset for Nimble Fingers?

    Is there NG+ and can I just save it for the NG+ harder difficulty run?

    It can be unlocked later in the game too. It just allows you to pickpocket earlier and get some items to cheese the game.

    Yah. As said above it’s mostly for cheesing game breaking weapons early on, which aren’t at all necessary for beating the game. If you’re into making the game a cakewalk for a vast portion of it I’d try it, but personally I think it hurts the game experience a little, I like the challenge.

    If it's like the original version, Nimble Fingers at the start lets you steal a mystery box early in the game that you can save scum until it becomes a Marvel Sword, which lets Claude coast through about 70% of the game.

    I just found you can also get a Goodie Box from the Challenge Missions - for opening a specific number of chests. I got mine in Krosse Cave, but I already had a Bunny and opened a bunch of chests on the world map too, not sure if those count.

    Plus you can buy them with fishes from the new fishing npc too. So there's multiple ways to get it other ways.

    yup, but even without all that, I got that Laeticia AA stone, summoning her during battle she’s already doing a multi hit attack for over 2k damage per hit…so yeah lol

    Rena playthrough is done, love the qol updates, fast travel especially saves a ton of time, now I’m torn on if I should ng+ a quick Claude playthrough before trying to tackle
    Spoiler: show

    Marathonning SO1 over the next few days, so I can get to SO2 asap. Is there a recommended order to play first, between Claude and Rena? I'm assuming Claude.

    It doesn't really matter tbh. They each have a party member exclusive to them but neither of them are top tier characters so it doesn't make a major difference.

    so, I’m a big dumb idiot who didn’t notice there’s multiple tabs in the Challenge Mission menue, so I had a ton of completed missions I didn’t collect the rewards for, but now that I did I can honestly say that the “Surpass Damage Limit” battle skill would have been useful awhile ago, maybe now mages will be useful since they’ll be able to hot for more then 9999 damage.

    Pick whichever appeals to you tbh. As Krand said theres a few party exclusive heroes but overall theres not a huge variance in the story.
