I'M SO HAPPY WITH THE ENDING I GOT !!! i burned the papers so suzette could never become the monster, i banquished Veris so the land would stop being poisoned, I ran away with Esteban to the South to recover the land, the war never happened, and i got the phoenix gem so I could save the world. thank you SO SO MUCH for writing this AMAZING story! I've played this game a few times but I never got to finish it because the game was crashing/my computer wasn't saving the files. But today I finally sat down and finished it, and it was definitely worth the wait. I played a new major/a new initial friend for each round, so I ended up saving the world after 6 loops, but I kept playing afterwards because I wanted to save Suzette. Then, when I saved her, Gemma mentioned that she thought that the south was being poisoned because of us, so I wanted to stop the war. Then I got the option to run for the hills, and then I kept looping because i wanted to meet everyone there. Then, I got the option to continue south, and after I met Moretti and confirmed that the land was poisoned, I got the option to go with Esteban and do some illegal shenanigans to save the land, and save the world! This is a FANTASTIC story, you are a FANTASTIC writer, and thank you so much for everything!
