I've never beat this game before nor have I ever watched anyway play through it. But I have gotten to the point where Larsa joins your part. Sadly i lost that file somewhere so i have to start over (may as well since i dont remember what happened.)
The one thing i hate about this game so far is the long and boring start where you're stuck in town. After that it's amazing.
The license board is a dream come true for training monsters like me and Tobi. So for like 5 to 6 hours I trained and built up a chain on moster for loot and lp.
Got basch on my team.
Went on the leviathan and famred more on it. I then got Ashe on my party. (my part now is Vaan, Basch and Ashe because Ashe's lp was over 2000 when i got her.)
Did some all the hunts i can do while I have lassler on my team.
After the fight on the Shiva I'm now at the point where I had Larsa. By this time my team is lv 27-29. Didnt train much with larsa.
At lv 34, I continue with story and where I'm at now.
