Laguna's ineptitude aside, let's see what else is around. I hope it didn't unlock anything important. Then you don't have to worry about this bullshit. This is why you should play as Jill instead. Over by these metal rings, we find an item. This place is very green, n'est-ce pas? I wonder what it is, and why Esthar is so interested.
It's fun to talk about stretching and what does and doesn't count as exercise, but we have an important dig site to explore. : That last battle we had doesn't really count as exercise. Of course, Laguna has to ruin the cool look of the place by being a nerd. When I first played this game, I had the BradyGames guide for it, and I think they had the characters at, like, level 25 or 30 by this point. Related: a group of three Esthar soldiers is not a threat. I don't know why they would expect to not be bothered. Why not, though? Like, this is Esthar's dig site. : Seriously.! I wasn't expecting this at all! : Why does it have to turn out like this?
Of course, we still have the other three to deal with. Esthar Soldiers are a bit tougher than Galbadians, but they're still not a real threat. This one's a back attack, since Laguna turned around, but it's not hard. Laguna doesn't look at Ward, so he still thinks there's only one soldier. You know, I'd hazard a guess that this excavation site belongs to Esthar. Seems like something's caught Laguna's attention. There are a lot of reasons to dig in the ground, and I don't think that's number one. I have no clue why that would be Laguna's first assumption about the rocks. : What the heck is this big pile of rocks? You think these are natural rocks used for carving tombstones? I'm a big fan of environments in this game generally, but this area is actually one of my favourites, visually.ĭraw points kind of suck if you know about refinement, but I had Ward pull off it anyway. I like the look of this place quite a bit, with the machinery mixed with the whatever this walkway leads into. I like the existence of the Information section for stuff like that. This doesn't get mentioned in the game, which makes sense because all the characters would probably know it, but is annoying because the player wouldn't. If you're wondering what a "Centra" is, here's the relevant page from the Information section. Not nice is that I only have two Str-J abilities right now, so Kiros is pretty lacking in battle.Īnyway, let's head down the path into the, uh. It's also kind of nice that we took the "right" party with us to the forest and don't have to fix our junctions at all. It's kind of nice to see these guys and their rapport as an established party after watching the SeeD group bumble around and fuck up. : Aah, shut up! Stop your clamorin' and make sure all your gear's equipped. : Seriously, I have a BAAAD feeling.! There's somethin' fishy goin' on here! You know what the old folks say. If something really is bothering the guy, let's at least hear him out.
Something's bothering Laguna, so he checks his map. Laguna's not sold on this being the place.īut Kiros and Ward just laugh it off. : I don't wanna be patrolling the wrong place, like last time. Kiros verifies: this is definitely a place. Now that everyone's passed out in the forest, we're back with Laguna & co.
