This really helped me out, thanks!

[Sogetsu_]

In week 39, if you don't attack the peasants, you get another ending.

[FFL2and3rocks]

I just tested it and it worked, you must've picked a wrong option somewhere by mistake.

[Idunhaël]

Went all right up to Week 29 when I did not have enough Herbs and was killed by a tentacle-thingie, even thought I followed the guide.

[GoldKn3cht]

Great short Guide. Perfect.

[JADEdotEXE]

Thanks, got all these achievements, even the alternate ending one. Thank you!

[Bloodofthevoid]

Thank you very much, this was great!

[senaya]

thaaaaanks, it worked :)

[Gareth Green]

Thank you! It took me forever to get past those bandits to Briony's party, and I can say I'm only too glad there's the ability to create a dozen saves along the way. In any case, this guide was a life-saver - literally :)

[AlternateEnding]
