Yup! Well, there's actually a lot of save-your-ass skills besides diplomat, too. There's aura which helps you move quietly to avoid detection (Roy should have started with this honestly, instead of locksmith) which essentially just lowers the rate of monsters aggressing on you. There's the 'detect' skills that will show you where monsters are on the map so you can try to avoid them or manipulate them. There's a few 'barrier' skills that let you place "walls" on the map to keep monsters from moving onto spaces, etc. Aura is really nice but for some reason I never place the panel when I get it.
Yeah, Seal of the Abyss can be pretty useful :) Big damage and can Blackout monsters. What's nice about Blackout is that for monsters, it's the same as KO'ing them :D So it's insta-kill magic that also does lots of damage whether it insta-kills or not. I actually just realized I have no idea what forbidden magic's power is based on...? You have no elemental skill for it, so maybe just it goes on pure magic? I also don't think there's any "forbidden support" abilities on equipment so you can't boost it that way. But forbidden magic generally just has huge base power anyway so I guess it's not as needed.
Yup, Ruby is the main protag of the novel! I honestly don't know much more about it than that, though. I think she's also the protag of the manga??? I think there's two volumes of the manga and one is about her. IDK. It's weird because the game pushes Laura as the prominent main character and scenario? The guidebook has a like short story in it but I haven't even read it yet because reading Japanese fiction is ... a lot of work. The structure is weird and I'm still not used to it, and there's a lot of dictionary work because of the kanji and stuff. So it's not all that enjoyable since there's a struggle to just read it XD I've read some JP novels before but it took forever and was more frustrating than fun, even though the stories were good.
Yeah, the Elder Dragon is so tame compared to the first two Wonder's bosses XD I guess I played them in kind of an anti-climactic order XD Two Moons should be pretty interesting, and Undercity. Deities Table is a snoozefest though.
LMAO YEAH I love how like Iskandar is like "These are of grave importance" and then like a couple quests later and she's like OKAY JEANNE HERE YA GO XDDDD They're not for sharing!!
And yeah I really like/appreciate that development of Sapphire. I've played past this but I only remembered the Ruby-freaks-out part of that scene really so I totally forgot that aspect of Sapphire :O I'm surprised how much I forget of this story O_o
