General Discussion Thread

Yes he remains there, sadly, just due to not having enough dialog boxes left to have all the children say something different if you were to go back, and like if Arc is in the party they would say something else. I'll see how much dialog boxes and bytes come from changing the Auction House into a church, it should be quite a bit so maybe that can be a possibility for the next large update. I'd really like for the soldier to leave after the banquet and the children come back out!
One thing I was going to try and portray through dialog to sort of explain why the soldier is there, is that monster attacks are becoming too frequent, and the orphanage was in danger... but I realize that does not get portrayed at all in the game. I mean, for the orphanage. Lots of NPCs talk about the monster issue becoming worse in general.
