First playthrough complete

I finish my first playthrough, of the original Symphonia. Unfortunately I'm 2% treasure chests short from claiming Sheena's Treasure hunting title, even though It looks like I found them all, Got Zelos' and Sheena's costume titles And, stupid as I am, picked Zelos for my partner and got him in the end.

Shame I couldn't get Gilgamesh, but Abyssion is too hard, as is the Demon Tome. Then again the average level of my characters is between 73 and 75.

So, after I beat Mithos once I'm strong enough like 120 or 130, who do you guys think should be my next soulmate.

If my affection is carried over:

Colette: 3080
Raine: 1080
Genis: 1440
Kratos: 1080
Sheena : 2280
Zelos: 2640
Presea: 1200
Regal: 1920

Note, I want someone other than Zelos but still want him on my team. I'll save Kratos for my third, fourth or fifth playthrough, or when I have enough grade for the 10x experience and anything else. So, Soulmate, who should be next? I wanna save Colette for last. But first, enemies to find and annoying mini-games to play like the evil Red Light/Green Light.

lol @ level 120 to beat mithos

With the right strategy and equipment you can beat him on level 40.

Then I should be considered lucky since I took out his three goons before hand.

So Arn, poll's up so who should my next soulmate be for my second playthrough?

I dunno?

I'm not into Tales stories much to care and Symphonia characters are boring

If you are going to complete the titles you will need 5 playthroughts anyway so pick whoever you want.

Fair enough, Genis is next. Though I will have to have everyone's affection reset, so no affection purchase. But... know a good place for EXP farming?

EX Dungeon

Best I've managed is Mania Mithos at 67-69.

Arn is right about you needing to run through everyone to 100% the game, so for next soul mate it probably comes down to whoever wasn't Collete that you're most interested in heart-to-hearting with. Sure its all on Youtube but you might as well enjoy the fruit of your labor there.

I'd go with Sheena.

Requote.

Purely from a completion standpoint, since you wanna keep Zelos for now and are saving Colette for last, I'd go with either Genis or Regal for their costumes (picking Genis would also get you Presea's).
...But that's just me.

Exactly, Genis will be next for Playthrough 2, Regal for Playthrough 3, Kratos for Playthrough 4, for the 10x experience and Colette for last. By my calculations I'll have 8500 Grade for anything. Stinks weapons can't be transfered. Going through Red/Green once for One World is bad enough, but going through it four more times... NOT WORTH IT!

You can check how much Grade you have by going to a Katz outpost, then you can add 1000 to that for the end bonus.

Plus 1000 more each time you beat the game.

BTW, beat the first game of evil, now for the Midlife crisis.

I think the slot machines hate me.

Update: got all Level 100 titles.

Okay, my third playthrough will be with Regal, and it will have the 1/2 exp. Fourth playthrough will be Kratos and the final playthrough will be Colette.
