The first arc of the generation story is over in SaGa Frontier 2. Oddly enough, Gustave's last chapter ended up being about Johan who frankly never lived up to the potential he should have had. Depends on if he pops up later but I don't think that's going to happen unfortunately.

The Generals story was also a bit underwhelming except for once again showing how interconnected the two main characters kind of are. His flashback story allowed me to play as him, who is pretty snazzy I might add, but the real treat was finally being able to play with Master Clemir and being treated with a young Narcisse. The master guy is a background character important to Gustave's plot so it was nice to finally get to check him out. Sadly the chapter was kind of boring despite the minor treat.

Wil's "last" chapter was actually the coolest largely because it's the only chapter where his group teams up with Gustave. The chapter had a kind of JoJo's Bizarre Adventures vibe to it, but then again, Wil's whole story feels like it is taking cues from the series. What made this really fun is that I finally got to play with old man Gustave. His sprite changes towards the end of his story to his more regal attire and he finally forged his real Steel Sword which is basically a Gut's sword. It's ridiculously powerful too and Gustave is so far the only character I've seen who has done over 1200hp of damage in the game solo. It ended up being a pretty fun chapter overall.

So with their tales over, I'm given two new characters to play with. Technically Kelvin is Gustave's friend but he hasn't been playable since the very early sections of the game and like Gustave, his story so far is mostly plot focused and dealing with the aftermath of Gustave's last chapter and is deliciously realpolitik as a certain background character is a making a move that could spell the end of Gustave's empire.

Elenore is the new kid on the block. She's a treasure hunter leading an expedition with Patrick and Raymond tagging along and with another new face in the swordsmen Rich. What's interesting about her story is that judging by the ages, we've jumped a good twenty years after Wil's last chapter as poor Patrick has gone from being in his twenties to suddenly being in his forties. So far her story revolves around being lost in a forest and having a map that looks like it was drawn by a child as the group's only clue on how to escape. We'll see where this goes.
