The Cloud Log Database : [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
Heya all, it's Cloudman here again with another new log to post! We ventured through crazy sewers and got a new boat earlier, and now we are continuing our quest to return Presea to her home, along with other new tasks. Too bad Presea couldn't have gotten red slippers and wished to go home that way. Anyways, let's get going!
Into the Dark Black Forest, Blue Hair Returns, and the Not So Secret Shinobi Village
Since we are wanted criminals, it's best we make like a banana and split into the forest of no return, but low and behold, at the entrance of the forest, we are already spotted by Papal Knights, who want us dead. We're the heroes though, so they lose right away to us. With them taken out, we enter the dark black forest. In there, we find a new mechanic for the sorcerer's ring: a... flash light? It's used to kill plants that block my path, as well as hide some treasure. Now, I didn't really like this area at all. It is maze-like, with many paths to go, and some of them being never ending loops. Since I am crazy about owning all the treasure in a dungeon, you know this is one that will drive me crazy to find them all.
Another painful thing about this area is the ring's function. The idea is you use your flash light to burn plants away. It works... some of the times. Some of them burned, and some of them... did not. I thought maybe I needed a different function from the ring? No, they are all burnable. I learned from my twin-tailed fox friend that some of the plants are very picky, demanding you hit a small sweet spot. Before, I skipped ones I couldn't burn, but I went back and tried again. I would position myself several times, flashing the light, finding the spot to burn the plants. And this thing can run out of battery power. To charge it, you have to stand by some flowers in a glowy light. So I had to try several times, hoping I wouldn't lose any power. It was tiring and annoying, but I eventually burned all the plants I could, and got all the treasures my patience allowed me to find.
Eventually I reached the end, where blue boy prisoner shows up. He does not wish to fight and only wishes to speak to Pinky Presea, but he did try to kill us and Presea pushes him away. For a robot with no feelings, Presea sure doesn't like the blue guy. And we fight!...for some reason. The man just said he didn't want to fight... Well, you know what they say "If it is fate, then there is no choice but to fight..!"
So we beat him up, and decide to take him prisoner, even thought he tried to kill us once... Okay then. (There is a funny cutscene here as well, but I will not spoil it ; D ) Also, Colette hears footsteps coming from the east side, miles away. Sooooo, we go the other way, to the south. Sheena decides we should hide in her ninja village, even thought it is secret and outsiders are not allowed. And when we go there, the ninja at the entrance says that exact thing. This game has a lot of odd things happen in them... Sheena gets called by the village chief, and we are allowed to explore all of the village's... 2 houses. I guess Ninjas don't mind bunking with each other.
After that is all done, we go to see the chief, where he asks what our goals are in all this. Lloyd says some really inspiring things, like bring the 2 worlds together and ending the fight between the 2 worlds for mana, and the chief is pleased with this, so much that he decided to help us with information and let Sheena come with us. Wow, he sure is easy to win over... I figured ninjas would be more suspicious. Well, with that done, we are allowed to go to the other path in the forest, since the guards that were coming are now gone!
The Forest Village, Presea and the Purple Man, and the Other Dwarf!
And so we return to the forest and try the path not taken! I find new lands, with a village only a few steps away. It is here I find the forest village, Ozette. It's a cool village with neat music (not this creepy one I picked...) I do some shopping here, and then proceed to Presea, who is talking to a purple man from Five Nights At Freddy's who looks quite suspicious. We also learn he is a half elf. Presea bids us good bye, goes into her house, and the purple haired man tells us a few words before leaving. We enter Presea's house to see she is caring for someone in a bed. However, Raine looks at the person in the bed and is shocked at what she sees. We don't get to look, but I'm sure anyone can guess the person in the bed is long dead. Even the party comments on the bad smell. Unfortunately, Presea is oblivious to this, on acount of being a lifeless zombie now. We decide the best thing to do it to try to give her a key crest as soon as possible to return her to normal.
We learn of a dwarf named Altessa south of the village, and since dwarves can do that key crest stuff, we decide to give him a visit. Unfortunately, when we meet him, he refuses to see us, saying he wants nothing to do with that child. The dwarf does have a cute assitant with green hair and a cute dress to talk to us, although she speaks like a robot. She tells us we can help Presea if we get some inhibitor ore and make the crest that way. So we leave the house and set off to find some! ...Next time at least, because...
That's the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend... of this play through! Sorry to write so much, and two logs in one day even. Thanks to all who are following us! See you next time with the next log!
Dance my pretties!
