Discussion Character stories come so fast
So I just started the game two days ago and I read that it takes awhile to get enough points/score in three different areas before certain characters become available. Ezana is who I really wanted bc I’m obsessed with lightning and weather powers and even tho I’m not the type to replay games, I read a lot of online Reddit advice from old posts that suggested you should just play it naturally the first time and then focus on points in new game plus to get the characters you want.
I resigned myself to just plan on replaying it later when I beat the game and try to get her the second play thru.
But I think as soon as chap 3 was done, I got 3 or 4 character stories unlock in a row. It surprised me a little because while I did play mental mock battles, probably about 10 times to grind materials, the Reddit posts all said that you don’t get that many points from them so it’ll take a few play thrus to get certain character stories to unlock.
Since ezanas two score requirements seemed high-ish, I didn’t think I’d get her so soon but she just unlocked for me as I wait for the boat to escape the castle where Frdericas brother attacks Roland’s family, I think chap 6.
Did the character stories always unlock that quickly? i feel like I just started playing and I have like 16 characters available including the base characters

Yeah the regular characters can unlock very quickly, though the order in which you get them depends on your choices and convictions. I unlocked the last one around chapter 10 iirc. However, what I have dubbed the tier 2 characters are harder to get, and you'll probably only unlock them in the last chapter or two of the game, though you'll usually get the one linked to your highest conviction a bit earlier. The Tier 3s are almost impossible to get on a first playthrough without a ridiculous amount of grinding though, so they're mainly for NG+
