I've added my Ending 7 route and notes to the guides section if anyone is interested :)

I've been working on brute forcing a good Nido manip for VC, and have a fairly easy and consistent one that gives a lvl 4 with 15-14-13-12 (I think) at lvl 8, but it's been forever since I looked into running this game, so I don't know how viable that is. I also still need to test it to make sure it still works after clearing my save. Still working on getting one with better stats, but I'd love to know if someone else has figured a good one out.
