I made the mistake of looking at a FAQ for this game and it tempered my enthusiasm for it a fair bit. >< Because I grabbed the “wrong” backpack not realizing I was even making a choice, and not only did I lock myself out of the post-game bonus dungeon but I also doomed one of my favorite characters, and I found out all this... like 10 minutes after I made the “choice” and saved. >_<
How was I warned about not trading in the first weapon, but not this?

Like, I’ll probably keep on playing, but, ugh. ><
Why can’t Quote die and leave me to play the rest of the game as Curly Brace? That would be an improvement IMO. :p
(Come to think of it... my kingdom for a mod that swaps the two characters. XD)

...okay, having actually gone back, I take this back.
What I got instead was a death scene that was simple and understated, and made all the more tragic and poignant for it... with the extra little twist of the knife being the meta-knowledge that *I could've saved her, but I fucked up so badly that she had to sacrifice herself so I could live.*
Ow. 💔
What an excellent, excellent game.

And, like... I get that that’s definitely not something you’re supposed to know on your first playthrough. It just annoys me that I just ruined my save file forever and found out basically as soon as it was too late, heh.
