It is the best tradition.
Speaking of traditions, each major city you visit will have a Bleublanc quest in it, so you have three more to go (Rolent, Bose, and Grancel). If you complete all four of them Bleublanc actually acknowledges that in dialogue much later in the game.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
Team Rocket Boss.
Gah, I think you pressed the "complete sidequests to get dialogue acknowledging it" button I have. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
I REALLY hope that Ruan quest I missed doesn't have any dialogue tied to it. Even the one sidequest locked behind detective points back in Zero had dialogue for it in Azure.
But damn it, if anyone knows, please tell me so I can accept it and fully move on, thanks.
EDIT: Oh damn it, Nial and Dorothy are also involved. NO NO! DON"T GO RELOAD, it's too late Red. The only save you have there is before the fight with Bleublanc, it's not worth it. It's not worth it.

Pretty sure Anomalocarus was being sarcastic.

I couldn't tell. If they were being sarcastic they should have used Sarcasm Mode.

Alright then, let's see how bad this quest is.

I was not being sarcastic, I do enjoy the "defeat monsters that are causing issues at hot springs/beaches" tradition. They always spiral out of control with a ridiculous boss fight at the end.
Though if I were being sarcastic, potholing it to Sarcasm Mode would be explaining the joke, so I wouldn't do that anyway.

Wait, why are we letting Oliver here in with the girls?
Yeah, it really does feel like Oliver and Schera have something going on in the background with how they talk with each other. I don't think Schera even told Estelle Oliver is an Erebonian agent. Granted, neither of them know who he really is just yet.
Okay, so it's those creepy sheep again. "Yawn."
WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT!? THEY ALL JUST MERGED.
OH MY GOD, I FORGOT HOW FRAIL TITA IS!

BIG SHEEP.
600% SHEEP.

Okay, so there were these blue sheep that attacked us right after we set up the machines Russell told us to.
I miss Kloe, damn all this character select forcing, Tita is a literal child and she keeps getting her ass beat because the monsters always target her first, and she has too little health.
I need Olvier for all his magic and crowd control, Schera I can't kick out but at least has AT advance for the team, poor Tita is just kind of useless. And actively making things worse.
Granted, these monsters are tough, they ambush us thus having some advance turns, and CAN HEAL EACH OTHER.
This is where the game is starting to kick my ass, isn't it?

@Anomalocaris 20: Sorry about that. I guess I was thinking more about the stereotypical JRPG hot spring than Trails' specific approach.

the Quantum Mechanic
The wacky thing is for that bit, they made portrait sprites for almost all of Tita's expressions without the hat, but only calls up a few of them.
"No will to break."
Yeah Tita is squishy in FC/SC, you need to give her an HP Quartz and generally defensive stuff along with a status quartz. When everyone is blinded or muted though she just owns the battlefield.
it funny that Tita becomes the toughest character in all of trails.
And the Creepy Sheep quests are the best, they alway go sideways, Cold Steel 2’s snowboarding chase was quite fun. I hope it gets even more absurd in daybreak.
Team Rocket Boss.
Alright, gonna quartz up Tita then.

Holy shit, once I juiced up Tita and got her CP up, she's a murder machine on the battlefield.

Sup. It's been a while Cassius. Military life seems to be treating you well ish.
Estelle: Especially that creepy mask dude Bleublanc! The fiend already stole 40 guild signs when we weren't looking! That's as many as 4 10s, and that's terrible!
I guess since this is Ouroboros' first showing, they actually get to strike fear into the hearts of the heroes instead of confusion and annoyance.
Jus wait, we'll go from Renne to Duvalie in about 2 years. Gotta love the sudden drop in competence and menace, but I guess it's all according to plan.
...Does Cassius know? If he does, then he's putting in a LOT of faith in a prince from a nation who has frosty relations with Liberl at best. Granted, one look at Oliver's character would make it clear he's nothing like Osborne, but still, wonder what the story is there.

....Yeah? Wait, I thought we were all in agreement that this was clearly an Ouroboros experiment to test their earthquake machine or was that just me?
Either way, YES! YES SOMEONE IS CAUSING EARTHQUAKES! All the evidence points towards it.
Also forgot to post this, but they really are giving Tita a crush on Agate.

They are, indeed. And this will not be the last you hear of it.
Team Rocket Boss.
Man, I dodged a bullet not choosing Agate then, otherwise I’d have to deal with this subplot more.

the Quantum Mechanic
Actually no. There's one gag, and it's not even from either of those two, and that's it for a lot of the game.
"No will to break."
I rather like Tita's Childhood Crush and Bodyguard Crush, gives her a bit more personality and an actual group dynamic. Agate is like Rean and sees Tita as a little sis, he would never actually do anything but he would take anyone who troubles her out back and beat the crap out of him.
Its the occasional comments from the peanut gallery that's the problem.
Team Rocket Boss.
That’s how I feel when Class VII including Alisa and Laura for whatever reason, act like Rean is an asshole for not wanting to bone his sister. They aren’t related, but it’s still creepy.

Yeah, I've never been to a hot spring, so I have no idea what I'm looking at. The actual hotsprings are at the inn, and this thing usually doesn't have people bathing it even if it wasn't boiling hot right now.

That's a foot bath like what was in Ymir.
Estelle realizing one of her primary reasons for existing is to get exposition so people from alternate realities looking in can get the proper context.
Oh damn, it's time for "leave out the one party member so we can fulfill the arbitrary headcount limit." Even tho there's no reason for it in-universe.
Sorry Kloe, but Oliver is my primary magic powerhouse. I WOULD replace Schera with Kloe since her kit is just far more useful but the game won't let me.
Oh. Oh here we go, it's time for that tradition.
