      "question": "Do I have to play Part II four times?",
      "shortAnswer": "No. I am playing Cai's six-chapter War Arc normally, then skipping the other War paths by default so their armies can move forward to Salvation.\n",
      "reasoning": "The four War paths are essentially the same structure with smaller cutscene differences. After completing one War path, the game unlocks a skip for subsequent ones that awards some EXP and advances those armies. That lets Cai remain my manually played War run without blocking the combined endgame roster.\n",
      "canChange": "Yes — if I specifically want another army's dialogue, EXP, or practice.",
      "revisitWhen": "I finish Cai's War Arc.",

      "id": "should-i-do-all-part-ones-before-cai-war",
      "question": "Should I finish the other three Part I routes before returning to Cai?",
      "shortAnswer": "Yes for the way I want to play. Finish Cai, then Leda, Dietrich and Theodora Part I; then return to Cai for his War Arc with the accumulated global Boons enabled.\n",
      "reasoning": "Completed Part I paths gate stronger Boon tiers. Current documentation lists EXP +30% after two completed Part I paths and EXP +50% plus Class EXP +2 after three. Finishing a route before starting the next also gives the cleanest carryover/replay behavior.\n",
      "canChange": "The exact unlock count on a few Boon tiers is still described by the source as estimated, but the larger structure is clear: completed Part I routes unlock stronger global progression.\n",
      "revisitWhen": "I finish Theodora Part I.",
