Notes

• If you wish to sever ties with one nation to ally with another, simply talk to the NPC in the respective nation you wish to join (such as Adelbrecht in Bastok Markets (S)). They will allow you to join after completing the first nation quest.
• You do not have to sever ties with one nation in order to complete the quests of another. As long as you complete the first quest and join one nation's respective military, you can start the 2nd and 3rd quests of another nation.
• Once you complete all the quests from each nation, you can still switch allegiance afterwards if you like. Simply talk to the NPC in the nation you want to rejoin (Adelbrecht For Bastok, Mainchelite For San d'Oria, or Mhoti Pyiahrs For Windurst) and they'll tell you what to do. For instance, you complete San d'Oria's quests, then Windurst's, then you complete Bastok last and stay allied with Bastok. Then, if you want to rejoin San d'Oria (as an example), just talk to Mainchelite. Keep in mind that switching allegiances will cost you 300 Allied Notes and your top two Campaign Medals (if you have any). (I can't be sure of the 300 note loss, but I personally did not lose 2 medals. ~Icharis of Ifrit)
• For the San d'Oria Campaign after entering back into Jugner Forest (S) from Vunkerl Inlet (S) if you happen to cross the river to the east, you can still follow the path North, and cross back at Lake Mechieume to get to East Ronfaure (S). You do not have to go back through Vunkerl Inlet (S).

Game Description

Hideous statues. Monstrous beasts. The otherworld that lies in between. Could this war-torn land you have been thrust into truly be the outskirts of Jeuno?
