First, because it required more effort than the one above; second, because I felt redeemed from some trouble I caused, and it closes that chapter; third, because it is now the most complete guide on [[The 7th Saga]] available on the web; fourth, because if it was a less obscure and less unforgiving game, it could be nominated for [[File:0005.svg]] [[:Category:Guides_at_completion_stage_5|Featured Guide]].''
