I managed to bludgeon my way around and finished the storyline, using only relentless assault. diversity and combat clinic. I stuck with the three girls whenever possible. I only upgraded the weapons I had to their max. Obviously, this way, I missed out on a lot, but there'll be another time and I am still playing.
What i would like to know is what is the story supposed to be?
I found it difficult to follow. I did what was obviously needed, but the story itself left me completely puzzled.
Most puzzling - what happened to Fang and Vanille?
I've searched the net but there doesn't seem to be an explanation.
