From Revo's ルクセンダルク大紀行 - Linked Horizon [2012.9.19]. I'm a little late getting into Bravely Default, but the characters! The plot twists! The music! And when I stumbled across vocalized versions of the character themes, well, how could I resist?
So here we have Agnès. Her heart's in the right place, but she's also ignorant of anything outside the temple where she was raised, and can be surprisingly stubborn, particularly considering that the Crystals, including the one she tends, have gone dark and the world is basically falling apart and she knows she's in over her head. But Tiz won't let her go it alone, and... there's just something about him...
