Can you go say Illia at chapter 10, and then go Sacea at chapter 17? Or does it force you to do Illia at ch. 10 and then at ch. 17 were you to choose to visit the other village?
Reason I ask is because I let Zealot die back in ch. 7 and wish to get all the leg. weapons this run (haven't ever done it, also first HM run), and the only way I see that happening is if I can get Dayan in ch. 20B for ch. 20Bx. I think I should be able to meet the req's for all the other x chapters and I've got Durandal already (currently on ch. 9).
I also went ch. 10B last run through (NM) and kind of want to go 10A, 11A, 12, 12x, 13, 14, 14x, 15, 16, 16x, 17B, 18B, 19B, 20B, 20xB, 21, 21x, 22, 23, 24, Fin.
This should be possible, yes?
Another thing, Thany's lvl 8.48 atm and Sue and Shin are recruited with no exp, so I'm wondering what Route would make Sue/Shin lvling easier in order to get them above Thany's aforementioned gain.
