Thank you! I guess I have to reject someone else's Week 1 date.

Different person here. I got the legendary endings for Arland/Jiyel, Corval/Hise, and Skalt/Wellin. However, I think for Revaire I got the "good" ending, not the legendary one. Am I missing something?
- I convinced Gisette and her family to step down. Sayra became the queen.
- I did NOT befriend and reform Jarrod. I rejected his week 1 date so I could go uncover secrets.
- Gisette did NOT become Sayra's spymaster. I know she became spymaster in some of my other playthroughs, so I don't know what I missed this time.
- I convinced Avalie to be my ally and got the ending CG for her. (I don't know if that's relevant.)
Bro I just got the non-standard ending where you run away from the Summit with Hamin, and I'm so glad it's an option. I even like that it's a "bad ending" because the scandal throws the entire Summit into chaos and nixes any chance of peaceful resolutions. I like when games let you take that "third option" or follow through with a bad idea just to see what the consequences would be.
"Insight" kind of translates to "meta knowledge about the game." It's basically a measure of whether or not you've played the game before and how well you understand the characters. During the welcome feast at the beginning of the game, you have the opportunity to gain a total of 70 insight. To do that, you need to show up early so you have time to talk to as many characters as possible.
There are guides out there explaining how to get the max amount of insight on day 1, but it's possible to figure it out yourself. Each character you talk to asks multiple questions. They typically ask you 1 or 2 questions that require a skill check and 1 or 2 questions that do not. For example: when you meet Cordelia, the first question is just how to greet her. The greeting is based on skill checks; you can greet her politely if you have enough etiquette, curiously if you have enough intelligence, etc. Her second question is another skill check. Her last question is not a skill check. This is the question that grants insight. She politely asks you how your journey was. The correct answer is the most polite one. It makes her happy and grants +5 insight. All the conversations during the welcome feast share the same basic format. The questions that do not require a skill check, the ones that are just about choosing what will make that character happy, those are the ones that grant insight.
The welcome feast will grant you the most insight, but there are other opportunities to raise insight scattered throughout the game. They typically come up during group events. For example, during the introduction speeches at the end of week 1, you can get +5 insight from answering Woodly's question. And then during the horse ride, you can get +5 insight from answering Yvette's question.
Here's a couple other ways:
1. Clarmont's week 1 date will give you +10 leadership as long as you don't mess it up
2. In Penelope's week 2 friendship date, if you're friends with both her and Lisle, then Lisle will pop in for a visit. You'll get +5 charm from Pen and +5 leadership from Lisle.
3. In week 2, visit the garden during your free time. If you have high enough romance with Clarmont, he'll be there. You two will take a walk through the gardens and you'll get +5 leadership.
I'll start!
Jiyel Scholar #1: Thylane, pronounced Tea-Lawn. It's a French name that's actually an appropriation of a Vietnamese name. I thought it fit amongst names like Avalie and Lyon. This is the character I pair with Zarad.
Jiyel Scholar #2: Either Mei or Hana, I can't decide. This is the character I'm pairing with Emmett. I wanted a plant-themed name that sounds like it could be an English name.
Arland Princess: Grace. I don't think I need to explain this one.
Corval Courtier: Samara. It means "evening talks." I thought it was appropriate for someone romancing Gisette.
Revaire Widow: Jeanne, as in Jeanne du Barry. Another possibility was Eugenie, after the final Empress of France.
