I'm 105 hours in towards the end of chapter 9 and it's only just occurred to me that sometimes you need to tailor your blade combo's to seal a particular enemy attack (such as seal shackle blade). It's pretty amazing that the battle system in this game has so many variables you can play it pretty much however you want.
I'm about 8 blades short of unlocking them all, still haven't got Wulfric back yet

I'm going to have to stop playing again for a while, it's just all consuming.
What a strawberry floating game.
