Story Progression

[stan.klingenbart]

Hi, ive got several questions:

1. I just finished Zone 4 with Cadence for the first time and unlocked a certain character. For the story to progress, do i have to continue with the certain character or do i have to play Zone 5 with Cadence (or is it exclusively for the Vampire Miss)?

2. Does finishing a Zone (like Zone 4 or 5) with a Non-Story character unlock anything? or is there no point at all apart from challenging oneself?

1. If you've got the Amplified DLC, then i believe you must clear zone 5 to complete the story and get to the end-boss (if any, not all characters have one), even with Candence and the others. If you don't have Amplified, then zone 4 is your final zone. Basically it adds an extra zone to your run (along with the other content like more items, etc).

2. I don't think there's any story for beating the game with characters that aren't Candence, Melody, Aria and the vampire lady. It's just another way to play the game (or challange yourself), the last zone's boss will always be one of the standard bosses if so.

Guess you could also do em for achievements/bragging rights but i'd wager it's too unreasonable for 99% of the players to do Aria/Coda runs. (Speaking of, if you still wanna see Aria's story bits, you could have Bard as P2 and control both turn-based style. Worked for me!)

Story Progression goes as follows

Without DLC: Cadence - Melody - Aria

With DLC: Vamp lady - Cadence - Melody - Aria

All non-story characters are either easier or for the challenge and required for a few game modes (I.E: All Characters mode)

Beating Zone 5 isnt required for the story but can be played with any character (Unless your playing on any All Zone Mode modes such as hidden mode etc)
