I should go back and tag these entries hmmm

[jecca_mehlota]

I write these on my phone and I'm always finding the weirdest gd "typos" and "corrections" minutes or hours or days later



Alright, time to find Otto anew.

This new hideaway is pretty nice though, I gotta say.

Oh no, Nektar, you've joined Clan Nutsy.... I know a hunt board when I see one .


Oh, Gav survived! Hopefully true for everyone else we actually knew hahaha....


Vivian Ninetails, eh? OKAY, KITSUNE.


Darn. I didn't actually expect Sanbreque to be defeated by the loss of their crystal but it would've been nice to see them taken down a few pegs. Their original place still ain't even blighted yet? Bah. BAH!


Hmmmmm they need to update Sir Wade's profile maybe. Unless he really did still "meet the same fate as the prince " and is wandering around under a false name.

I wonder if we'll ever find out what happened to Ambrosia.


Five years and no new gear, Charon? You losing your touch?

Oh no okay she's got elixers now. Wooo.


Hmmm. I don't see Kenneth. Maybe he had a career change? x_x


Tomes has had an upgrade though dang. Nice new spot.


So Cid DIDN'T LEAVE NOTES about Ultima. Thanks for nothing, you snarky dead bastard.


THIS BOY HAS A PET RAT. Yes ofc you can keep him if Clive tries to say no I'll throw him into the lake.


I think this is a different botanist as well. Though there are more of them now and looks like they're making good progress!


Cassandre is labelled a worrywart even here? Jesus Christ Apollo come off it already.

(Don't see most of the older branded either.)


TARJA THREATENING TO TIE CLIVE TO THE BED NEXT TIME HE'S INJURED, girl get him, end his life

(also, gav, honey. How do you MISPLACE a physic owl. Repeatedly!?)


Clive still hasn't figured out priming, rip. Did you try opening the matrix of leadership? I don't see it, so I don't think you have, tbh.


Yeah, where did our stupid little brother go, anyway.

Oh he's right here in the northern territories wasteland.


OH NO MARTHA



Eyyyyy I found the caulk and bawl quest!! KOJIIIII. *knife emojis*


Oh thank goodness she's still alive for now???

There was only one order of shields when your mother wasn't in charge, Clive. And she's a bigoted monster.


Shit.... They're all dead. Ofc they are, but, still. Damn.


Oh now you've done it. GOOD, CLIVE, TAKE 'EM DOWN.


Jill, that was optimistic of you but I really don't think we'll find him alive.


ye--- OH SHIT SOMEONE'S NOT DEAD YET

tell him you're Cid and you're here to help you fool

Too late. uugghh.



AN AHRIMAN??? and a cutscene?

Oh it's a rank mark! .... But I haven't unlocked the mark board yet????

Whatever, it still dies.


It's nice that they put the dust in the water, though.



Ughhh that bastard traveling merchant wants something again. WHAT

Sorry, wait, Whiteheart? Did we just actually trip over Ambrosia (or at least one of her descendents)?

"Chocobos.... Fighting bandits." Just roll with it, Clive.

oh this is absolutely Ambrosia, isn't it, aaa I'm excited

I'm so PROUD OF HER.

Hey, sweetie, you been having fun ending lives out here? Good girl. Give me a moment, let me kick these guys down to hell.

yee, bird friend.


Though thank goodness Torgal knew her (and vise versa), Clive would never have figured that out on his own.


I STILL THINK YOU'RE A DICK, ROWAN.

NO, A FREE SADDLE WON'T REDEEM YOU.

Oh are we bringing the other two birds with us, as well? Haha. Of course. Can't abandon the flock!!



You have an uncle? I hope he's on your father's side. Wait ofc he is, Rosfield.


Gav, I know you knew that Clive was a Rosfield already.


... I'm hungry. That's nothing to do with what's happening right now, just a statement.


Aww, Jill writes Clive letters!


Aaaaa Martelle managed to fix the apples! I'm glad, even if she's not here to see it.


MARKS: Claireview in Sanbreque and the Broken Hilt in Rosaria....


Wait wasn't this a rat earlier. It's definitely a chicken now.

BOY WHAT KIND OF SONG IS THAT, I know people eat chocobo but DON'T THREATEN THEM LIKE THAT


Torgal, what do you smell? Good dog.

We will never know, Clive and Jill are having a moment instead. Good kids.


BLACK SHIELDS?? TIME FOR VIOLENCE. BB BB B. V B. B B. VBBB BV AT

thanks Mal?


How can I be endangering you, they were here before us?? WE'RE INNOCENT!!

(lol we are not)

I do wonder who or what they're looking for here.


DON'T JUST STOP TALKING THERE CLIVE I WANT TO KNOW YOUR IDEA ABOUT THE ECHOES

What's that egg thing.

Oh I thought it was gonna aggro like the bombs but it's interactive instead

.... Treasure chest?


OOHHHHH FOUND SOME BLACK SHIELDS



I just want you all to know that every time, every. time., "Quest Destination Nearby" pops up, my brain shouts QUESTINATION!!!



Lol these idiots keep saying that and sending Clive into rage mode before trying to fight him.



Hey this is fucked up. But also GOD DAMN IT.

I'm gonna kill her SO DEAD.



WHY DOES EVERYONE WANT TO FIGHT US


He was there when we died? IF I SUMMONED WADE BACK FROM THE DEAD WITH MY JOKING COMMENT ABOUT HIM HAVING THE SAME FATE AS JOSHUA.....


lordddddd, lmao /lays facedown on the ground hssjkkkksddk



At least he's not using a false name I guess FFFFFF lol



"Let's go attack the black shields" Bet you're wishing you hadn't sent a dozen folk to die to me when we tried to leave, ain't you.

(It's fine, the three of us are more than sufficient replacement.)


Oh okay I didn't kill them I just pounded them into submission. Phew.


So uhh do Wade et al know about Clive being Ifrit orrr.....


guys don't underestimate the woman or the dog. That dog is bigger than any of you, which SHOULD BE OBVIOUS. I'll grant you can't tell about Jill at first glance but she isn't exactly dressed like someone who can't hold her own.


Shut up, Dragoon Gaius.


Oh, Wade. This will absolutely not be enough to stop the cullings.


Ah, good, our uncle is still alive.


Idk Clive, the outfit and your Phoenix blessing will probably go a long way. The MASSIVE BEAST DOG really ought to be a bigger hint, as well, though I guess maybe they didn't know he was gonna get that big?


Ooo a new mark. I love adding accessories to my collar.

Lol Clive breaking into play acting. That was a clever idea.


Kid you didn't think he'd let you get out of this without explanation? Haha.


Joke's on you, uncle, she was a monster long before this.


CLIVE YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY THINK YOU'RE A GOOD LIAR.


Oh no, I like Byron, I don't want him to die. DRAT THIS GAME.


Jill no one thinks you're a monster you had a difficult situation. But I get it.


Aaaand back to the hideaway first okay.

"Seems there's no creature in the realm so foul it can't be cooked up into something delicious." ah, so no coblyns, you mean.

Guess we're gonna be hunting WRETCHED BEINGS to consume.

Unwonted violets? What like those plant monsters, maybe? I'd call those unusual.


Hahaha, I like that Torgal can usually be found handing out with Charon.


Jackin has a pigeon this time, but he's still singing about eating it..... I'm worried about that rat now.


Oh good I can go places now. GIMME THE HUNTS.



Whoops, wrong side of the caer. Though there's one over here, too, lol, just not the griffin I was looking for.



Ohhhh, they're scorpion tails. Too bad we can't tip the man, or even buy something from him.

This stew is soooo purple. Wow.

lol rip Yvan? Oh, no, he's fine and he likes it. Oh, good.


He's not trying to charm you, Vivian. Though to be honest I'm not sure he'd know how to, if he wanted to.


Right, well. Jill! You ready to go KICK THEIR BUTTS? Anyone or anything you want to take out, you have my full support.


Are we gonna get another message about not being able to go back again?

NOPE.

Gonna call it a night once this cutscene ends though.


I was gonna say that this IS a neat and useful trick but OH NO HER ARM HER HAND IT'S THE CURSE NOOO nooooo Jill don't diiieeeee D:!!!!

That crystal is very red.

NOOO Clive called it a shortcut hahahaha maybe Cid WOULD be proud hahaha.

ANYWAY, ENOUGH FOR NOW.



Zzzz I wonder if I go hard if I can beat this before I leave on Thursday. Do I even WANT to do that? I don't know.

Mostly just nodding along with this one but I will say—-unless you have time off work, trying to blaze through the rest of the game before Thursday might be a bit hard. Believe it or not, you’re not really that far through yet. (I think we mentioned it in Doinkchat but something about this game made me need to take it in bites. Even ignoring that, you’ve got a LOT of game still ahead of you.)

Just one more note, but be sure you check Clive’s desk for letters often, because sometimes there will be quests in there that don’t show up at the levemete—I mean, the quest desk guy. Gaute? Yeah I think that’s the one. The game doesn’t always mark it when there are new letters waiting for Clive, so you just have to check, I think.

[jecca_mehlota]

I do have this week off (before ticket sales were - well, that mess, a bunch of ONIONs were planning on going and so we were gonna get out a little early to hang out and do stuff. Didn't see the point in cancelling my PTO once the cards finished falling), but yeah it's not a very rushable game. TOO HEAVY [not a complaint].

The desk doesn't always tell me when it has new things??? BETRAYAL!!!!! I'll be sure to check it often!
