In the spare minutes I have everyday, I treat myself to playing a new game + of Radiata Stories.
Like Rondo of Swords, this is another game where you should take the "evil" (i.e., human) path first. The reasons for this are threefold:
1) On your first playthrough you're likely to get most of your friends in Radiata.
2) With somewhat careful playing you can enjoy the assistance of the guild leaders, who are about a million times more powerful than any character you can ally with from the fairy creatures side. Which is not exactly essential for the main game, but makes the arduous, optional, but extremely lucrative post-game dungeon, in which you get an amazing ultimate skill and a zillion power-up items all of which transfer over to your new game+.
3) There's a shop in humantown that sells power-up items. Yeah, they cost zillions, but who cares? You'll have more money than the least scrupulous plutocrat in the world after beating the post-game dungeon, and those power-up items you can take with you to your new game+. You can also take the cash with you, but the power-up items are much more useful.
In short:
It's easier to develop your new game + Jack into the unstoppable badass he believes he is if you side with humans on your first playthrough. And there's nothing more fun than beating up Elwen everyday to farm for growth stones.
