Never mind the "nobody dies but the bad guy" ending, despite all the drama introduced with the flashback arc it was quite obvious.
But am I the only one disappointed with this ship not sailing?!
I also loved Alicia during her arc, but she completely ceased to be a character shortly after her introduction, Edil and Zell got more time as characters post awakening than her. She had the most potential yet it was not utilized.
After everything Vamirio just says goodbye? Cut that "very precious friend" crap.
The "final battle" was waaayyyy too long and escalated needlessly imo, the story was really tight before that and just so solid in every way that it was greater than I expected, but this puts it down again.
Also I think if you go with a happy ending like this, you could as well just have killed "the will of the world" for real - Helcks reason to depart on a journey still remains.
