hmm maybe it was a different decision I made on the subsequent play through then. On my last one I did better in the final battle (I would call it a cake walk) than in the first play through when I did get Lia, but still didn’t get the Lia ending. I appreciate the advice. I’ll have to go back through it one of these days. I at least got Kara’s ending and she was my favorite, however Lia was a close second so I’m not gonna be satisfied until I see it. But just so I’m clear, the girls’ actual affinity for you isn’t a factor?
The girls affinity is not a factor in the available epilogues. The Tiffany epilogue is dependent upon how you how you engage with the Earth Alliance and the fate of her mother. The Lia outcome is dependent upon the success in the final battle which is a factor of the strength of your allies. With the final battle, try to send the minimum force required in each stage, without requiring reinforcements. Hence you want the greatest strength possible for the final engagement.
ah alright. that sounds like my first playthrough. The second time I felt like I barely pulled it off. The last one i think i just went ham with strongest to weakest. Didn't even deploy the last two forces. I appreciate the help. I’m looking forward to your next game. It’s awesome that it’s in the same universe.
