Exploring the job system.

Why's it so boring!?!?

Day six:


Our first fight is in the jagd. We're surrounded on all sides, and I felt a lot of pressure to keep my starting six alive. Rather than deal with it, I summoned Adremalech and did away with the threat. A few died, and a couple more were severely weakened. I came back later for another Nono mission, and I might have been wrong about the death timer. A few of my guys went down, but there was no countdown timer. Do they die if you don't rez them?

The second mission is where Marche learns the castle pit a bounty on his head. Mewt wants us dead, but does he have an excuse? I proceeded to do more side quests to make my characters more well rounded. I'm aiming for making my humes ninjas, Montblanc a time mage, and my viera is already an archer. So I'm trying to figure out what to do with my bangaa. White monk is already pretty cool. I really hate how small the jobs pool is, but I'll figure it out...

... tomorrow!

I got an Excalibur today from the treasure hunt mini game. Am I already getting to end game gear?


Day seven:

We're chasing counterfeit watchmakers, but we're not alone. Ritz and Shera are on the case too. The enemies think about turning us in to gain leverage for themselves and start. There's no challenge. Neither Ritz nor Shera are interested in our bounty, but Ritz does question our resolve. Why do we want to go home when we have so much sway here? We'd never rise to this level of infamy in the real world. But Marche remains resolute. He wants to see his family or, at least, not exist in a dream world. Ritz wants to stay here, though, and warns us she might join Mewt to make sure of it. We may be enemies soon. As Marche leaves, Ritz tells Shera her reason for staying here: her hair color. It's naturally pure white, and she dyes it every day. It's caused her grief from bullies, and she remembers all the times her mother cried about it long ago. Why'd she choose bright pink!?

We meet up with Ezel and discuss the bounty on us. Ezel hates the castle, so our friendship is closer. The judgemaster is going town to town, clan to clan, harassing everyone who might be us. We'll see this in the new city.

An innocent moogle is being attested because he might be Montblanc. Marche, ever the noble, comes forth to save him. He demands to see Cid, but the current judge summons useless backups we easily kill. Doing so will make the judge call Cid. We tell him what's going on, but they don't care. For some reason, we're hauled off to jail.

Cid is speaking to us when Babus confirms who we are. We keep trying to tell them this is a fake world, but they're not listening. They don't even let our friends go. Suddenly, a seam in space opens up. They think we summoned it, but we're sucked though.

I don't know which totem this is, but Babus is determined to defend it. It's weak, and we'll need to take out all the fruits. While doing so, Babus attacks us. He's a flimsy mage, so hit him a bunch. Once he's down, we'll get full access to killing the fruits. We're warped back to prison, and we see the scene with Cid at the "cafe." Despite being pathetic in it, Cid realizes this is a fake world. One that he helped to make? Changing his goals in life, Cid leaves the castle, taking the judges with him. They will now act independently of the crown. He also lets us go, confusing the bunny man. Babus, being the protective stuffed animal he is, remains loyal to Mewt.

We (the player) witness the scene with Cid leaving the castle. Mewt is a brat, and Remidi promises to always stay with him. Babus calls in Cid's replacement, a boy named Llednar Twem. Which is "Mewt Randall" backwards.

Then I screwed up the map placement mini game because the writer made a strange choice in numbering the cells. How dumb! But I'll figure out if I miss out on the Genji gear...

... tomorrow!

There's no way I'm gonna 100 percent this; not even close. I'm enjoying dealing with the possibility that I'm the bad guy. It's a bit of a gut punch, though. I sorta live in a fantasy world that keeps me alive. I have little desire to remain on this dying planet and civilization. I'd much rather live in Ivalice, myself. Would I fight Marche, who's probably correct with his thinking?
