Does Manana say anything that isn't about food?

She feels like an inverted Tatsu for me.

She has the line where she says the world is just wrong, without hesitation, which endeared me to her a little more.

Plus, her intro fight thats basically her doing Tora's Spinning Cutter with a pan, but being unable to control it is still pretty funny in the Nopon sense.

She talks about other things, too. Not as often, but here and there.

Anyone else noticed that Colony Delta is the only Agnian Colony to win a battle on-screen? And Delta isn't even a visitable Colony in the game.

Gamma got destroyed by 9. Lambda got curbstomped twice. An unnamed Kevesi Colony also beat an unnamed Agnian Colony.

Okay, I found out why I wasn't able to get max affinity with Colony Mu even after finding no sidequests remaining.

Turns out the armu raising does actually have an endpoint and isn't just a loop to farm rare materials, and finishing it unlocks more sidequests.

Still not enough to max it.

Source: I finished every quest in the game.

[up][up]And it's a pyrrhic victory for Cammuravi since he loses so many soliders. I guess as an extension of Seraph's gameplay mechanics it's entirely logical though.

I'll throw in that Oleg's colony managed to take down three Kevesi colonies in the backstory, at the cost of near total annihilation.

Which is super unimpressive when you remember that Ethel smashed two or three Agnian colonies at the same time.

I don't count Oleg since it happened offscreen, just as I didn't count any of Colony 4's win.

I'll count the Agnian Colony that destroyed Colony 14, though. I don't know whether that Colony was destroyed by 4, but they did win against 14.

You know, I think I like Origin because it's the only dungeon that is inside a giant computer chip. Considering how the universe was created. I'm surprised that it took until the third game to do it.

Alright. Finally playing this.

Currently still in chapter 1 I believe. Noah and his group are about to track down that big source of ether.

Lots of questions about how the world seemed to change so much (since we see the world slow down in front of Noah's eyes in the opening cutscene and it seems more similar to how Shulk's world was before). I'm very curious as to the explanations about what's happened.

You won't learn that one until chapter 7 out of 7.

Good on you for noticing that immediately. It wasn't until the end that I realized the importance and complete context of that scene.

I thought as much.

Anyway, not too far away from the next big battle. Mwamba has separate from the team. He's giving off heavy Retirony energy. He's literally on his last job before he gets his homecoming.

Man, it's hilarious that in this game, you avoid dying on the battlefield....so you can just die in front of a crowd.

Also, not shocked Joran died. He certainly gave off that air as well.

I don't expect it to stick. He's either one of the villains, he's actually dead, or some other twist that might catch me off guard.

A lot of focus on Noah's team so far. I figured we'd see a bit of Mio and her friends at some point. I guess that's coming up next.

Oh, while you're going out hiking across the death world, if you see a unique monster, target it even if you don't intend to fight it. There's what could be called a list of unique monsters that you can't see at that point in the game that registers those you've defeated, or seen. For the latter you need to target said unique monster to add it to your list. This will come in handy later.

Thanks. I'll head back and see about targeting the uniques around here before I keep up with the plot.

I should take the time to use the training as well. I'm mostly familiar with the battle system, but since this one has it's one details, it may not hurt to practice a bit more.

Chapter 2 will give you all the exposition on the battle system you need. Just be sure not to get confused at points (I've heard stories about people getting confused about Chain Attacks, not knowing they could freely select which party member to strike as opposed to the set order the previous games had).

In general the Kevesi characters are more important than their Agnian counterparts. Riku and Manana are the biggest example of that.

Eh, it's a close thing. Yeah Riku clearly has more plot relevance than Manana, but everyone else is about equal. Sena has slightly more relevance than Lanz in the main story, and Eunie has slightly more relevance than Taion, and then Noah and Mio are almost perfect. Really, if Mio had one or two more flashbacks she'd be the main character.

(end of game spoiler, but not a big one) I expected the last scene to be from Mio's perspective, but they decided to go with Noah instead. Which was actually important to show us the difference with the first scene, but still, my initial assumption that we'd see Mio waking up with her family.

[up]

Agreed.

I was right about Mwamba. And man, Hackt just came out of nowhere, but I'm guessing we'll see a bit more about him later.

Just finished the Ourobouros fight. Right now, our heroes are returning home....to their comrades who've been brainwashed to murder them.

So I'm guessing that whole enemy of the entire world thing that Purple Asshole (I already forgot his name, how is that possible) spouted wasn't an exaggeration, but it's easy when you can literally make it happen. I'm also guessing whatever they've done ties in with what may or may not have happened in the opening cutscene.

Mysteries abound.

Funnily enough, you aren't actually told of that purple guy's name until a scene bridging the first and second chapters. You call him by the letter D, and Moebius is the organization he's a part of. A bit of a bait and switch, if you will. You forgot something you never knew in the first place.

I just finished Chapter 1, so I realize that now. Well, that explains it. No wait, now I remember. Vandham referred to him as Moebius. I'm pretty sure he called himself that as well.

Anyway, in the early parts of chapter 2. I love Sena and Mil animation in the rest area.[lol]

Gonna be fun to have both teams now. I think I may use the Agnus team a bit more, since they recharge arts via cancelling and auto attacks, so their a bit faster than the Keves gang. That seems a bit more similar to XBC 2, so I'm more used to it.

Also, it's weird that I can still apparently raise affinity with the other colonies even though I'm now their enemy.

It's kind of amazing how much more fun 2's combat system is when you have the ability to dash.

How do you dash again?

I think the game mentions you can do it in battle, but I can never remember what it is.

I'm also not sure if you can do it outside of battle. I need to do more of those trials I guess.
