Finished Chapter 1 myself. Not much to comment on. Battle 4 took way too long due to noticing a chest at the beginning of the level just as I was about to finish off the boss, so I sent Apis way back to the start of the huge map... To get a medical herb. I think I'll be using a walkthrough for the rest of this. All the battles so far have been easy, otherwise. Apis has been a beast, and Cray has been gaining strength like he didn't have a weapon (3 strength for both his first two levels). Nick had been underwhelming, but the middle sword should help. Sig's the only character I'd like to replace at this point.
The Force:
Nick: 7
Ruce: 7
Shade: 7
Sig: 7
Wendy: 7
Apis: 7
Claude: 6
I like leveling evenly, if you couldn't tell <_<.
You forgot Cray!
