i hear the voices when I'm dreaming

So, being on a borrowed computer and therefore lacking access to my usual entertainments, I've been playing VS a lot. (It is an awesome game, and gorgeous, and fun.)

Right now, though, I have a dilemma. I'm on second play, gone everywhere except the final boss fight (99% map completion)... and I can't decide if I want to finish up and start another game, or stay and faff around, and if the latter, what to do.

Issue the first: Chest completion is 96%. Which means I'm missing one chest somewhere. So either I go hunting for the missing one, or I hope to catch it next time around.

Issue the second: I have a nice set of Jazeraint armor, but it's hagane. I'm fairly sure that if I collect up enough damascus leg armor, I can convert it all to damascus, but that requires a fuckton of silver and hagane leg armors.

Issue the third: The weapons I have are not the best of their class, nor are they damascus. But it seems kind of a shame to level up a weapon's stats if I'm going to replace it later.

Issue the fourth: the Iron Maiden B2 low-health trick for getting Awesome Stuff. Right now, because I've cleared the B2 bosses, it's fairly easy to get through B2 (I like being at the B3 end because it's easier to get out. stupid warping identical-looking rooms.) OTOH, that stuff is all fairly rare, and I can probably deal with the boss fights on nextr play-through if I survived them this time.

...This whole thing is a terrible dilemma. (Poor me. *G*)
