I'm pretty sure that Lora the child is the same as Lora the adult. According to Lora's dad/ stepdad/ whatever the fuck, he stole Jin's core crystal from a castle on a heist he apparently had been planning for weeks. This kind of gives the impression that Jin was the blade of some royalty/ heroes in a "previous life" rather than him coincidentally being woken up twice in a row by girls named Lora. Jin finding the diary of his past life probably further indicates he was a blade of "noble blood", seeing as though I doubt he would have written a diary if he didn't believe that it would be available to him in his next life (much like how Brigid keeps a diary that gets passed down the royal family of Mor Ardain).
You are probably right about blades and babies though.

Honestly the biggest problem narrative-wise in the game is the amount of "beat the boss, but they kick you ass in a cutscene". Off the top of my head the bosses in which this happens are Malos, Morag, Akhos, Jin twice, and Amalthus. I don't mind the "you actually lost in the cutscene" like once per game, but this game is fucking ridiculous with them.
How far are you in the game? I remember thinking the game was pretty easy until like chapter 8/9. But then again, that is about the point where the boss levels started being like 4/5 levels above me, so maybe that is it.

I thought it sold pretty well? Better releases than XC and XCX at least.
