You can do that if you want. Or you can start over, which I'm going to try since I don't actually know how to unlock Mellia.
You also unlock a hard mode. Bullets do double damage, enemies have more HP and you have to kill two rows of enemies instead of one. Sounds god damn hard.
Oh, and you can't do training battles in hard. You also unlock Nightmare mode after you beat Hard mode, which is basically the same only bullets do 3X damage.
And I have no freaking idea who Mellia is. Apparently she's the bad guy, but I beat the game without seeing her even once. I had heard that you can play as her once you beat the game, but that didn't happen to me (maybe I need a batter ending?) But I know she's real, because she's in the art book. And that voice clip section DOES have a "Mellia activated".

Topic renamed. Pikaby, let's keep all the kitten discussion in here from now on.
And I figured out a lot about the endings. There are three bad ones, and one good one. To get the good one you need to get Ancardia in the secret scene (2.5), beat scene 47 (the final boss) without getting a game over, and if you recruit Algiery, you must not kill via transoul or vit loss. Sooo... Wow, that's hard.
Also, in order to play as the villains of the series you need to beat the game and than hit continue to load your completed file. Instead of loading the file, however, the screen should turn blue. If you start a new game from a blue screen, the story will be different and you'll play as someone else instead of Maria. I already started a new game with a red screen, so its too late for me to do this... Damn. Also the ending conditions are different for a blue game.
There's a chest in the secret scene that contains an item that gives her some kind of new skills. And the staff just lets you get the good ending I think.
Don't even get me started on Maria's death. In the scene where you fight Zolgonark, (I don't know if you've done this yet, but no spoilers) she's there as an outline, like all other dead knights. Than, she claims that she'll defeat Z/M even if it costs her her life. Than, after you beat them, she's alive.
I got the Dark Wings in another scene. Not the secret scene. I got to use them powerful EX Skills >:D I was also like 'What I thought Maria was dead!' when I saw her during the Zolgonark and Melad...something(can't remember the name) fight. And, I beat the game. And got a bad ending(I met all the requirements except Ancardia). Which bad ending did you get?
I'm restarting the red game on Easy difficulty to save time. I just want to see the good ending, then place my bid on eBay to buy the Tome of Lost Souls.
