Hey Ventura! You seem pretty good at the game. So I’d like to ask, what stats are actually needed to get good endings? Do Charm and Physicality have any use? Or does only Arcanum matter among the 4 listed capacities? Thanks for any help!
Physicality yes. Charm works in convincing people so if you’re trying to avoid fighting then yeah? I’m more what does grit do?

Grit seems to be an endurance analogue.

Heh thanks, but tbh I’m not sure how much of it was actually luck. ^^
Regarding the stats, I would be very surprised if you couldn’t get a good ending with the other stats. I think it all depends on what choices you take. It think it also help if you befriend the NPC’s.
I don’t know exactly how high the stat should be to archieve a good ending, since I tend to hyper-specialize, as I’ve experienced too many times being “punished” for going Jack-of-all-trades, so my MC’s usually just sort of steamroll challenges.
This is why, in my run at least, I don’t think the other capacities mattered much since I choose every available option related to arcanum. (I had Charm 20%, Physicality 10%, and Grit 30%). One thing though, the extra effects/ability you get at the choice you make when Ken disappear might give a bonus to the specific capacity stat, which it increases.

It just occurred to me that this has some interesting parallels to Bloodborne in that it starts off as Gothic horror before taking a swan dive into cosmic horror. I love it!

Just want to clarify, are you referring to the Tower or the ball?
By the ball, never ended the game that high :))

Ahh I can’t get the “free everyone and save everyone” achievement
What is required to take the power and free sophia from the curse？I choose so and get the bad ending.

I usually made sure my Arcanum was at least 70 (70 arcanum was pretty much fool proof for me), but I think it also has something to do with willpower and the investigation percentages (will check on this one)

You can’t have a ‘good’ ending with Oriana.
That’s…unfortunate

Finally, I got a good ending. 
Thank you for the tips @squarelyblue @Morphine
This is my stats when I got the ending:
Temperament
Compassionate: 81% Ruthless: 19%
Spiritual: 76% Skeptical: 24%
Brash: 43% Cautious: 57%
Forthright: 49% Courteous: 51%
Trusting: 81% Distrustful: 19%
Ambitions
Investigation: 73%
Professional Reputation: 79%
Strange Arcana: 33%
Constitution
Wounds: 10%
Injuries? What injuries? You’ve taken mere scratches, nothing more.
Will: 38%
Your spirit has been tested and tested again, but you still stand tall. It would be wise not to push yourself much further, though.
Capacities
Arcanum: 80%
Charm: 30%
Physicality: 10%
Grit: 40%
Really want to have a sequel. XD

Same. I’m also very much sold on any sequel ft Dev because really he’s my current fave :))
[Moreso if the sequel will include him and the MC together]
Currently figuring out if there’s a way to side step some will deductions or if it’s really set though

100% Agree with this. I would like to see Dev proposed to my MC but alas…
I dunno if I could do other ROs. I am horribly possessive of my 2d husbands (Though I don’t get jealous of other people claiming them) just not in-game and I don’t have the heart of breaking Dev’s … well…heart. He’s one of my favorites right now. XD

He’s so precious. I just really appreciate how natural the romance unfolded for him and generally how the other relationships unfolded :))
Idk if I would have wanted a proposal since the game makes it very clear they’re the end game – I mean should you romance him – and am just happy they’re very much together at the epilogue
If there will be a sequel, definitely would like to see more of him and the MC (preferably being back to back badasses or finding their way out of trouble together with witty bantering and what not)

I know. Their ending was quite satisfying but I’m old fashioned that way. 
Anyway, I agree. I would love to see more adventure. But if the author decided to do another CoG with a new setting and cast. I will still look forward to it.
