SaGa Emerald Beyond PC Demo (Diva): VS Final Emperor

Diva's party is really, REALLY good. I can't think of a single weak link in Diva's starting party, compared to the starting parties of the Scarlet Grace main characters.
Also, why the hell is Constantine wearing the same clothes as this First Emperor dude? The guy's been shady this entire time...

Honestly from what I've seen, starting retinues in general just seem a lot more versatile and better balanced compared to SG's starting retinues, but damn the sheer flexibility of D5's is utterly impressive! Can't wait to dig into her scenario myself when the game officially launches! Also Constantine is fucking EVERYWHERE! He's in Mido's story art (or someone that looks very similar to him), he's the dude that B&F chase down before he gets gobbled up in the opening bit of their scenario, furthermore there's someone who has a very similar facial structure and eye color to him in their story art, the character who attacks Ameya and makes her lose her magic powers also looks similar to him, and there's the key art of the worlds/Emerald Wave that features the face of an entity that looks...disturbingly similar to him if nothing else. The fact almost all of the eyes of these characters are emerald green (they match the undertone's of Songstress' hair, which just so happens to be emerald green as well) is also just...insanely suspicious. If he somehow isn't the final boss or at the very least a significant entity in the world(s) of Emerald Beyond I am going to be legitimately flabbergasted.

Yeah, Diva's party has like damn near everything except for a mage, and even then she can recruit a mage fairly quickly. Her scenario probably wouldn't be considered good for a beginner because there's a lot to learn about her party right off the bat, but damn her party gets really strong really fast once you understand how each party member works. Even though this is only the demo phase, my Diva's party already feels stronger than my Urpina's party did halfway through Scarlet Grace. Constantine also shows up in the character trailer for Bonnie and Formina as a suspect that they are initially trying to apprehend. I am expecting a backstab scenario in Diva's party or for him to leave the party at some point, and it's gonna make me sad because he's a really good fighter and he does seem to legitimately care for Diva. The ultra suspicious thing is that there's tiny hints that Boudica is being set up to take Constantine's place as Diva's 'second in command', since she continues participating in dialogue, when all the other starting party members stop getting screentime after they are first introduced. (Constantine points out that it's also Boudica's first time world hopping when he takes Diva to the connecting realm too.)

@@Alilatias I'm actually (very slowly) working my way through Urpina's scenario in SG so I absolutely understand that sentiment lol. Definitely looking forward to what general direction they take D5's story (Constantine and all), especially with how potentially variable each world seems, I can't help but wonder if it's entirely possible that the main scenarios might also have multiple outcomes based on worlds visited and choices made.

@@FrogofWarRS There are definitely multiple scenarios for at least some worlds I'm sure, coming from the main game and a bit of demo experience from Ameya I've seen three outcomes from the final emperor one where alexandre is the last emperor friendly and you fight a monster called Iron Maiden this one in the video I haven't personally seen where alexandre is the last emperor and hostile and I just got one where the final emperor is a seperate being and takes on a monsterous form to fight back against outworlder invaders. I've seen from skimming imperfect guides that apparently there's another where leia becomes this human form of the final emperor instead.
