We're defo the bad guys.
I don't remember why we came to the woods, but it doesn't matter. It's a trap, regardless. Fortunately, the fight is forgettable.
I also don't remember why we came to the desert, but we're here. As we enter the combat area, we see our little brother, Doned. As we approach, he runs away. Yes, runs. He isn't stuck in his wheelchair in Ivalice. Marche chases after him, but it's a setup. A bunch of bangaas fight us.
This is kinda annoying. How dare they bring two healers with them?! It didn't help that I kept my healer in the back. I had recently made my nu mou an illusionist, a job that attacks all enemies on the map with magic. Keeping them out of damager also kept my healer from the party. Fortunately, I managed to tank the relentless AoE, and my other human fighter won. Marche interrogates a white monk, but they didn't have any information.
There's another desert with howling winds, but I'll check it out...
... tomorrow!
I was wondering when we'd bump into our brother. Like Mewt, I understand why he'd want to stay in Ivalice. Ritz' reasoning is pretty stupid and shallow, but I'm on the side of "stay." What are the chances FFTA has two endings?
Day, I think nine:
The Delia Dunes have stopped making sounds, apparently. As Marche looks around for whatever we're here for, a strange boy enters the scene. This is Mewt's new BFF, Lladnar. I think he looks like Marche, but I'm not sure if that's just my face blindness. Before anything happens, a seam in the universe appears, and we're sucked in.
The boy is across from us, and Cid teleports in. Lladnar is about to do something called "Omega...," but Cid stops him. Using his power can break the remaining crystal behind him. Lladnar summons a bunch of nerds instead, and the battle begins. Just survive for a moment. We can't damage him, even IF we hit, so what's it matter? After two rounds, Lladnar tries to use his special move anyway. This breaks the law Cid applied to the area, and our enemy is off to jail. Cid offers to return us to Ivalice, but we're cracking this rock!
As we approach, Mateus jumps from the crystal. She warns of what could happen, but Marche doesn't care. She turns into Ritz, who pleads for us to not break it. Ditto. Doned and Mewt try their hand, but Marche is undaunted. He thinks for a moment, pondering all the valid reasons for his friends to stay here. But Marche is too much of a realist. Mateus turns back into herself, summons a bunch of vampires, and we fight.
Ignore the undead mobs. They'll respawn in three turns and have a lot of HP. Mateus has over 400 HP, so focus her before you're poisoned to death.
The crystal breaks, but we remain. A voice tells us it's because this world is still wanted. Remidi joins us to say until Ritz, Doned, and Mewt say otherwise, this world will still stand. Dejected but determined, we all return to Ivalice.
The next city we visit has us talking to Montblanc about an upcoming holiday. Gift Day is when everyone gives Mewt a present and gets an audience. If we can make a good present, we might get to see the prince. This brings us to Materiawood to collect a bunch of pretty stones. We get a huge haul, but Doned shows up to take some. He admits that he's our enemy and doesn't want to go home. He's having fun fighting, maging, and walking. Walking is pretty rad! Marche remains a douche, and his brother runs off to his hit squad. I get he wants to walk, but killing your brother seems a bit much.
This fight is annoying. Their white mage knows full revive and likes to use it. There are also a few archers and a summoner to protect her. Their tanks ate effective at their job, especially when they're revived twice... Their DPS seemed pretty low, though, so it's not terribly hard.
We'll still have enough pretty stones to create our present, so the castle appears, without my consent, on the map. So we'll be heading to the palace...
... tomorrow!
By the way, I got the Genji gear I was worried about. The game seems to be coming to ahead, so this'll be over soon! I'm kinda ready.
