Hi I've updated this guide into forms, come back and check it out!

Izumi has some unique monologue for when she heals people, just like Doctor Chung. She also has a banter with party members about needing a sponsor for her research. I like her for the "Rock Bottom" start, as she's easy to find in the UC and relatively cheap for a recruit with advanced stats.
Orthallon Oct 1, 2021 @ 6:52am 
Seto has one or two unique dialogues when she gets up after being knocked unconscious in combat.
Also, I'd like to see your take on Red, the girl who steals your money but can then join you from the town in the far NE desert (forget name atm). Pretty sure she is standard dialogue, but hoping that is not the case. (warm heart for a pick pocket I guess)

Thanks for sharing, recently had to restart and this will make the game much more interesting.
Orthallon Jan 16, 2021 @ 1:50pm 
Been using Seto a while and I'm pretty sure she makes a comment about being the stone golem's daughter during combat when getting up after being unconscious. Have not seen that with any other shek I use.
