I usually can't remember which chapter numbers go with which maps. I think the reason it seems like everyone knows what C12 is referring to is because anyone who doesn't know it can just look it up and they probably won't explicitly say "I looked up this chapter before joining the discussion." so it just looks like everyone knows what chapter it is.
I really hope they release a demo soon, I can't wait to play after not watching the stream.
I'm also waiting for someone to mash we've got trouble with IS IT THE DAWN BRIGADE?
Yea you don't benefit from doubling in that situation. But it is easily worked around so even in that situation 29x2 = 30x1, not 30x1>29x2. So a weapon capable of never doubling is still worse off than the weapon capable of doubling in general.
I'm not voting in the poll since I plan on picking my route at the actual choice depending on how the characters made an impression on me. Of course I'm also duplicating myself as the avatar so my boon and bane will probably suck. Which is really the only reason I'm not starting on Lunatic. Going Lunatic Nohr with -HP or -Str with a healer subclass sounds really dumb.
