Replay the Game to See Branching Paths and Situations You May Have Missed

How Much Content Is There
Complete Midlight's Deep
Midlight's Deep is an optional dungeon that consists of 10 levels. At the final level, you will go up against a superboss with a chance to obtain one of the most powerful abilities in the game.
Each encounter is quite challenging, so you may need to spend a significant amount of time farming JP and EXP to prepare.
Obtain Collectibles From Errands
Sending units out for errands may result in them discovering collectibles. These are tied to unlocking certain trophies, so be sure to check the nearest Tavern whenever you get a chance.
Completing an errand takes several in-game days. To get through all of them quickly, you will need to multi-task and have a lot of units to deploy.
List of All Errands
Collect Rare Items Through Poaching
The Thief ability Poach allows units to collect a monster's remains after defeating them. You can then take these to a Poacher's Den to trade them in for rare items.
Some monsters are harder to find, so it may be a while before you can obtain the rare items associated with them.
