I'd love to have a little more in depth guide as to when and where these characters are found. I just don't want to find out I missed a star after it is too late
I did see the very in-depth walkthough on the homepage, but I would like to go on my own before getting stuck and needing a hint from the walkthough, however, I don't want to miss any of the stars either though my bumbling past one that will be unavailable later on.
Is the list below in chronological order?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Characters:
Notice that you have to recruit all characters before you walk into the briefing about the Rockaxe mission, in order to get the 108 stars bonus. This includes keeping them all alive, except Kiba.
Clive
Find him on your second trip to Muse.
Gilbert
Attack him in the major battle outside of Muse, then keep him alive after he switched sides.
Kasumi/Valeria
You have to choose one. You cannot have them both. (Choose Kasumi, see below)
Ridley/Boris
If Ridley dies due to your decisions, Boris joins. Again, both cannot be recruited.
Feather/Sigfried/Abizboah/Rulodia
2 Listening runes, and 4 monsters to choose from. Ayda joins along with Feather. Rulodia does not count as a star, and you need Abizboah in order to recruit her. These are your options:
1. Feather + Sigfired
2. Feather + Abizboah
3. Sigfried + Abizboah (you will miss Ayda and fail to recruit 108 stars, so do not choose this combination)
4. Abizboah + Rulodia + Chuchara (by spending one rune to Rulodia, you fail to recruit 108 stars, so do not do this. However, you'll recruit their exclusive, but weakly child Chuchara).
