Who is the main protagonist?

[Yglika]

Hi, I have a question. Who is the _main/primary_ protagonist in this game?

Can I play (almost) solely for/with Lune? Or is there one/another character (Gustave?) who is basically a leader/main player's character?

And I do not mean just in combat but also regarding story. How exactly it works?

[Nah, I'd win.]

The protagonist is the male lead and the female lead. The fact that you are even asking this question the way you are means you are way too early in the game to be asking for clarification. The answer is a spoiler.

You've never played a turn-based RPG before, right? There is no main protagonist in this type of game, it's three fighters on the spot for a team that can consist of up to 10 characters. All this to be able to exchange them in case of difficulty. So if you want to know if you'll be able to play with just one character, the answer is no, because you don't break a winning team.

I do not own the game. I'm asking because it is important for me to decide if I want to play it or not. To put it simply - if there is a lead character - I would like to play for a sorceress (or something similar).

It would be spoilers to answers this. You could consider the main protagonist is "The Expedition". Most of the time you can pick your party but at some points in time you might be forced to use different characters for some parts so get used to everyone.

No, neither lead is a sorceress or anything similar to that.

I can understand that. But even in a purely party based RPG there is often some lead character. Like in Lands of Lore for example. ;-) Or even BG3. So I wonder if this is the case or it is purely neutral RPG with no leader at all. But if the former and there _is_ some lead character then I wonder who that might be.

The main protagonist is you, the player!

Maelle or Verso, you decide that since the ending can be interpreted, in my case on both sides it's Maelle, I would really like it to have been Gustave since the game was all about his mourning and what Expedition 33 would be like.

Alright. I actually got the answer from some deleted post now though frankly - I did not care that much who is the "main" character in the story conclusion, more during the game itself and since the start. What "per se" can hardly be a spoiler. But anyway I got my answer now, so thank you all.

The protagonist is always the man.
Everything u do at the camp revolves him.

Okay, so:
1) Plot-wise Lune is obviously a side character. Although she is present (and plays some role, sometimes even a leading one) in pretty much every plot cutscene.
2) Gameplay-wise, nothing is stopping you from playing her (almost) 100% of the time. You can even explore locations using her. (Although it is purely a cosmetic choice.) You also don't have to include any "main" characters in the party, so locking one spot for Lune doesn't even stop you from using other characters much.
3) The only times when you are forced to use other characters are during prologue, in camp and for roughly half of one of locations in Act 2 where your party is forced to split up. (And another half of said location, on the other hand, you _have_ to play her.)

The main protagonist is suffering, guilt, realisation and compasion. Then it leads to forgiveness and moving forward with you life. End of story

Don't worry, they're all the protagonists and saying literally anything else is a spoiler. For those who come after.
