Gaius is by far the best male character in the series.

Even if you don't think Gaius is The Most Boring Man Alive saying this in a series that includes Olivier is insanity

The ~~ was my way of not saying wild theories as fact or going into any detail about easily missed events.

Everyone else has a plotline that resolved a personal problem of some kind for character development, Gaius had none of that. 50% due to not having any excess baggage and being the most mature person around, and another 50% im willing to bet is related to the spoiler bars up there.

This plot thread was so memorable I had to look up what you were referring to in the first place.

I dunno. We still don't really know much about her and I wouldn't put it past Falcom to make her turn up in the Calvard arc as an outright semi-axe crazy antagonist.

FC came out in B.F.
CS came out in A.F.
The series sadly missed the D.F. era.
The F stands for Flamboyance.

Olivier is great. I'm a huge fan of mature same generation characters though, 4 of my top 5 male characters fit here and Gaius is 2nd or 3rd.

I mean pretty much everything with barkhorn is part of the ng+ sidequest that solely exists to tease cold steel 3 stuff, it's not supposed to be important yet, it's background stuff for turbo nerds like me to care about

If you take Gaius and Sara on like the very last quest in CS2 you get info on him too.

I did basically everything possible in SC and my playthrough was 91 hours, that's not even 4 days you've got plenty of time left, just ignore sleeping/working/school for a while.

for what it's worth sc only took me 55 hours doing 90% of the sidequests. it only takes super long if you get real into the NPC circuit

You can play without talking to all the NPCs post knowing every single NPC has a fully functioning character to interact with?

I have a different suspicion about that, but it's really hard to be sure about it when the only thing I really have to go off of for his character is the hidden side quest in the Finale of CS2.

Some Sepith and some really nice accessories that I think act as a Gladiator Belt and Gladiator Headband. I could be wrong.

Edit: Oh right I just remembered, I'm pretty sure the item that acts like the Headband is a reward for hitting B-Rank, along with the Sepith.

gaius is cool because its nice to have a dude who has his poo poo together. Like gently caress cant i have a dude who wont melt down on a mission?

I kinda get the feeling that if you put him into a position of power he'd be 1 bad day away from turning into Genghis Khan tho

Gaius just needs focus. Him having his poo poo together is fine but everyone else gets so much more focus than he does if just because their family members are connected to the major events.

Depends on how many sidequests you skip. Game took me about 40ish hours to beat and do all but 2 of the sidequests. I maxed out all the weapons, got to level 99, etc and so forth. edit: I also didn't wait til I got fast travel for a lot of them which was dumb.
