First time player--I have a somewhat odd question before heading in.

Hi folks. I wanted to ask: are there secret or plot-sensitive characters in the game? Would seeing all the character names potentially spoil any part of the story for me?

Here's why: I'll be playing the game in English, and with JRPGs I always write a full list of character names in a sheet of paper(usually looking on wikia): firstly, to better comb through while playing; secondly, I have trouble adjusting to Japanese names written in English(where family names come after), especially with JP voice on.

I know this is a minor issue but I'd really like to be sure of beforehand, since I know almost zero about this game other than it has some interesting storytelling.

Could you please help me on this with no spoilers? Thanks!
