Just finished Cantarella's character quest...
That was worth waiting for. What a finely crafted story. Some sad parts, some bittersweet, etc. Again the cinematography was fantastic, the dialogue was great. The Fisalia's were pretty fucked up, to be honest.
I really wanted to take a picture of the
giant Jellyfish but the game considers you in a domain for that part so you can't use the camera or even enter the options menu to disable the UI for a clean screen cap. That was jaw dropping. This game doesn't get enough credit for its visuals, there are some really incredible areas.
I've been slowly building my Cantarella over the past few days, still trying to get her weapon. I find her a bit more easy to understandher and use her in battle now, but boy have I been spoiled by having Shorekeeper in my party previously. She does so much healing that you can be very sloppy in harder fights and not even think about it. With Cantarella in her place, you still get
some healing, but you need to play well for it to be sufficient. To be fair, it probably gets better as you build her. I noticed a significantly easier time with the trial Cantarella. She really takes Havoc Rover to a new level with her damage buffs and coordinated attacks though. I didn't realize this before rolling her, but she also has a very high speed swim that also charges her Forte while you're in the water. My only complaint with her is that she's melee range. I wish she either had faster attack animations or was a ranged character. It's kinda awkward to play her in boss battles, especially ones that are really mobile/warp around like Lorelei. Her personal damage is nothing to scoff at, either.
