Let's begin with the least interesting part first, shall we?

I've been on a crusade to frame menu options in a way where they have more consistency.
As I did, I noticed it's been a bit all over the place and probably arranged according to how I felt that day, referring to the choices you do with the in-game menu, not the more visually ones.
It's a small thing, but that's no excuse to leave it unattended.

On the flip side, remember the power fantasy thing I mentioned last week?
Yeah, that blossomed into something far larger than originally intended in every possible way!
Initially I were merely going to let players obtain an item that lets you take Laquadia into battle with you, with her taking up a party slot as a useless combatant who's just there as eye candy.
Then I thought, is there no other way to do it without using up party space?
And that lead me to introducing support roles that share space with the protagonist and expands the position to additional characters than just Laquadia alone.
No unlocks required, support roles is available the moment you have the first character who can fill out that role, which is Lady Farah, but you can also assign it to Queen Opala, Stella etc.
When they are active, they'll also show up in camp but won't participate in story events.
While only one can be activate at the time, they each bring their own support skill to the table when accompanying you and allows for the "Submit" skill to be performed on yourself to affect whoever is currently in the supportive role.

And with that, next week will have a Tuesday as well!
