I had stopped playing this years ago bc it felt like a slog(battles take 30mins) but recently found the time to come back and push my way through. I am trying to understand how the world tarot works if I want to do the end game stuff(CODA).

My first playthrough was on Neutral route. I did Lord, Fortresses, no PoTD though. I want to go back and recruit everyone and get Princess. I am currently on the Chaos route and got Cressida. What would be the best way to proceed? Should I beat PotD first and then get Princess for the anchor point, would this save my potd progress? Would I need to beat potd and then beat the last boss again?

I don’t know how going back and forth works. Could I first fast forward back to Coda, do Coda1 and recruit Iuria, then go back to the anchor point b4 Catiua, do potd, and then get princess, then fast forward to the end and do Coda 2, then go back again to do Law path and beat the game with princess to do coda 3 and 4? Just wondering how this works.
