After many years of on and off. I finally beat the game!
Just going to say it. I had to use Durandal for the final boss along with other buffs to deal more damage. I wanted to use Blue Rose but was doing less damage, yes I could have taken my time with the boss but I was at climax so it's now or cliff hanger.
One thing I dont get on true ending, is zangetsu alive since the katana is gone and what about O.D. if he's dead or bound by the castle.
Either way, im happy to finally beat this game and I love Miriam so much!! Can't wait for Scarlet engagement when that gets an official date.
