I get this would go against the resource management side of the mechanics involved BUT are there any plans on having you be able to “recover” a relinquished captive?
In particular, one sort of plotline I think would be interesting to see play out would be being able to bring back “new and improved Naho” from Malagar and having her reassert her dominance over the pack with her newfound power.
And, somewhat Naho adjacent, it’s a bit odd that there is only one other captive you can send to breaker and that is Marie-Anne. Naho makes a lot of sense but Marie-Anne is one of the most compliant captives to begin with
EDIT: Not sure if I’m missing something but it seems I’m unable to recruit the mercenaries in this build. Ran a couple different playthroughs but they just never showed up at the end of Chapter 3 for the fight against Mäelys. In at least one of them they WERE allegedly recruited because Gutter’s Cove was counting as conquered already
