Hi!
First post on the forum, long player (public releases) of the game, I find it refreshing compared to other similar games (that are either too little plot for too cheap porn or that sacrifice story enjoyment for Nintendo Hard combat systems)... and I have to ask: how it is likely that the players would eventually discover that the Main Character/New Dark Lord should have originally be the Chosen One instead of Romanos (that frankly is less Hero Material than what the Useless Three from Rising of the Shield Hero were at the start of the manga)?
No, because with how much the leadership of Hypatia managed to screw up things, it would not surprise me if they did the above too for political/powermove reasons.
