Team Elicoor

or 'Adray, the Oblivious AlNel Shipper'

I don't care what anyone says- this is my dream team in the game. Just take control of Nel, give Albel common and support symbols, and build Adray and Albel's affection points for Nel so that their AIs are more helpful in regards to healing and supporting. All because you only get endings with Fayt doesn't mean you can't utilize the affection points characters have for others. If you look in the official walk-through, you can see that some PAs affect points for more than just Fayt. In fact it's incredibly easy to raise Adray and Albel's points for Nel, but I can't say the same for Nel's affection for them.

But to be fair, I only use these three up to the final boss. I never had played through the bonus dungeons with them.

Anyway, this little scene is them at the Barr Mountains during the mission to enlist Crosell's aid. I have a little headcanon that Adray and Albel are distant relatives, so despite them being from different kingdoms, I bet they'd get along as battle buddies. I mean look at them- one wears a long kilt, the other a sarong, they both use the katana, they both have a 'if it's an enemy, destroy them' mentality... They HAVE to be related somehow. As for Nel, she's just an unfortunate victim of Adray wanting a team pose- and for once, Albel doesn't mind some giant oaf pulling him around.

And here's the conversation happening in the little afterwards box:

Albel: You know you want me, Zelpher

Nel: You're delusional, Nox
