PLEASE REMOVE THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS OF A ROYAL ARCH

[Jacky]

BECAUSE TOO MUCH GRINDING & LACK OF TIME TO UNLOCK ALL ROYAL ARCH !!!

MANY PLAYERS CAN'T UNLOCK ALL BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED TIME & PLEASE EXPAND THE DATE OF THE DEADLINE / PREPARATION FOR LOUISE !!! INSTEAD OF 30 DAYS MAKE IT TWICE OR TRICE

& SOME FOLLOWERS ARE HARD TO UPGRADE

30 DAYS ARE NOT ENOUGH !DEVS !!!!

You serious I was lvl 99 before last chapter and all royale unlocked. Actually the chapter before the last is better exp than last 30 day month.

... I got all Royal archetypes on my first playthrough, without a guide, with about 2 weeks to spare.
If you're really struggling it's something you can aim for in NG+

Well, it's not that it is hard to unlock the royal archetypes, it's more that it's just a tedious grind to do before the end of the game (for something you don't really need to finish the game).

Nevertheless, the pacing issue won't be solved by a patch, but you can definitly bet on a "Royal edition" released a year from now (full price) to fix how so many things gets unlocked too close to the end.

No, the Royal archetypes are some of the most broken in the game, you don't need them for any boss (other than the story specific ones), so they should very much be difficult to obtain. I think they are designed to be used primarily in NG+, where your archetype XP carries over, not in a new playthrough, though it is possible to grind enough to get them on a fresh playthrough.

A. You have way more than enough time to max every bond and do every request, I'm near the end of my first/blind playthrough and I maxed every bond with about 20 days left, and I am currently at I think 10 days left with only 2 or 3 quests left. And that's including completing every single colosseum battle, every timed quest, and spending some time bathing because I had nothing else to do. It is way more generous on its time limit than Persona is for example.

B. I am getting close to unlocking several of the royal archtypes, probably could now if I felt like using up a bunch of my xp items, and I haven't really spent that time farming yet, especially not in the late game for relevant amounts of xp. I did quite a bit of grinding in the first dungeon to be able to complete it in one day (and even that was really just for the MP restoration), but not much since then. Getting the no damage bonus on every battle you can and killing every elemental you can goes a long way to reducing grinding required. Also, I regret not getting the xp item from the colosseum earlier; if I'd known it was Archtype xp, not character xp, I'd have gotten it much earlier, since that reduces the grinding you need even more. I've been using it on Heismay since I got it, since he requires an oddly large amount of archtypes levelled a lot for his Royal. Everyone else isn't too bad, and Junah's is downright easy to get.

You're gonna be alone in this because it sounds like you played the game wrong and that you may have done that because you didn't pay attention and read everything as you played.

This game has a lot of free time. The coliseum can be done twice a day. If you spend your days with followers and read your books during gauntlet trips then your royal stats will get a healthy bump. Most bonds raise Royal stats too.

I had 12 days free on my first playthrough just doing everything I could that the game told me about. You sound like you just ignored things for most of the story and now your mad you can't do it all in the last stretch lol.
