I'm using this list for my msq count!
Okay I looked it up, I have to have unlocked the Origin as a location on the map. As I suspect Origin is the final dungeon, that means these only barely take place before the the end of the game when everyone dies or whatever (JK I know Torgal lives).
And here's Torgal now, staring at Origin as it hovers annoyingly in the distance.
Jill and Gav having a drink in the Ale Hall and she's wondering if there are other crystals hiding out there. Considering Ultima summoned his "fuck off crystal," though, my money's on no.
Uh oh. Jackin doesn't have ANY animal with him. What happened.
Oh, he just befriended them all. And now he wants beasts. It ain't happening, kid.
OSCAR WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO EASTPOOL THEN JUST BLOODY GO.
Hmmm, I didn't see Jote in my run around the hideaway. Maybe she just wasn't targetable.
Otto, I swear I didn't create that thing, it's not my fault. Dx
Oh there's Jote, so yeah she was just hiding in a corner somewhere.
Viv, you're not the only one who's homeland got wiped off the map, here. For someone who's all about the bigger picture.....
Thanks, Joshua, that was sufficiently bleak, now we can move on from the moping.
The Enterprise can't fly, but Dion and Joshua can. Don't worry about it. Heck, Shiva sort of can. Someone can just carry Clive and Torgal.
Oh good the fliers are arguing.
But Dion you might lose everything! I think he's fine with that and honestly at this point I think he might be immune to dying anyway. He fell from the fucking stratosphere after we beat him completely senseless. I DO NO FEAR DEATH yeah, he'll be fine. Even if he does manage to off himself.
Ugh Jill. I hope you don't have to wait forever.
HOLY SIDEQUESTS, BATMAN.
Oh NOO TORGAL. what does my good dog need :(
What IS he looking at.
lollll, DON'T TOUCH MY BLING, HUMAN. Noted, sir. Now where are we going? An island.
Hahaha and now he's growling at Clive for suggesting he might have to swim. There's room in the boat, don't worry.
MIST? THIS IS MIST?? TIME TO AFK IN MIST IN TWO GAMES AT ONCE!!!
puppy flashback aaaaaaaaaa
Torgal, you're breaking my heart, here, you poor thing. CLIVE YOU CAN'T DIE NOW YOUR DOG WILL NEVER RECOVER
FUCK THE BOAT, CLIVE. INTO THE FOREST. Oh that's a nice view actually.
This was a very good quest.
Oh I thought L'ubor had left already. Oh good he's gonna ask about the kids. That's an easy one.
Hey man no one's gonna listen to your evacuation recommendation. I guess they MIGHT listen to Ferda but... :|
You know what I'm taking these kids and leaving the rest of you to die. Good riddance.
OR NOT UGH FINE. Clive, you're a better person than I ever could be.
Are we really stoning people in the town square. REALLY? Are you SURE we can't just leave them to die?? I hope these children bite all of you.
"Always" as if 10 minutes ago you wouldn't have just as soon killed him. Knife emojis.
YEAH YOU BETTER BE SORRY. DON'T DUCKING DO IT AGAIN.
THIS QUEST CHAIN HAS BEEN SO FRUSTRATING.
I'm just hopping blindly around the map now btw. Now we're visiting Cyril, who lost another dude, this time by sending him into Ash. Oy vey.
"You are much too kind, my lord." You're damn right about that.
Ah, now I can enter this door.
Are they.... Frozen? No they're just holding still lol...
FUCKING BARNABAS. Of course this cult was his doing.
Third Chair nooo don't give into the cult. Oh, more like he just can't look away from their crazy?
Earthquake? No, aetherflood. Wow, their praying worked! So why the screaming?
Oh, echoes. They don't want to be killed before they can turn. Christ.
Oops, rip third chair. Oooh more like he was already cult crazy.
Well, this has been fucked up. I'll be leaving now. Hopefully never to return here.
Just because it was their choice to die like that doesn't make it less fucked up, guys. I guess you could make an argument for death with dignity considering it's the end of the world or whatever but my damn.
Meanwhile, the gay lonely soldier is still afraid of the duke clapping him in irons. Tsk. Anyway what's up Isabelle.
Ah, right, that idiot is still trying to build a fortress. O shit Sabine. Hell yeah, she's here to cause chaos for possibly all the wrong reasons.
I forget sometimes that Clive will hop fences. That's always a fun little surprise.
Hopefully now we can all get along with slightly less ridiculousness.
Oh, so she didn't found the Veil, she just took it over.
.... Clive, why are you. ??? Blue? Glowing? lol another visual glitch
THIS STORYTELLER IS TALKING ABOUT SHINRYU hahaha, the wyrm and the coffer, indeed.
Eyyy the gay soldier survived.
Dorys got a letter that said there are slaves in Balmung Dark. That's the arena I couldn't get into before. let's go!! They're probably all turned or otherwise dead already but we gotta at least check. And Harpocrates has us going over there looking for that book anyway.
But I'm gonna pick up another quest or two before we take off.
A trial in Northreach? But I just LEFT Northreach...... Even Clive is like, ugh really?
Oh, Uncle Byron needs something, too. I was gonna cut it with just these three (I still need to go get Vivian's book), but I always have room for him.
And I should probably get that S Rank I've been avoiding in sanbreque. I still need one more orichalcum for the sword...
Other hunts:
Grim reaper in Cape Orsiere, Sanbreque
Knight at the penitent's gate, sanbreque
Okay, hunt party in Sanbreque I guess.
Not that I'm going to sanctuary you know what autocorrect fine you win it's factory I WISH YOU GUYS COULD SEE MY FACE.
it keeps changing Sanbreque into sanctuary but as soon as I give up and start trying to swipe sandwiches it gives me --- well, sandwiches, now, apparently, but also factory for some gd reason. Anyway we're not starting with hunts, I'm gonna go meet with Dorys.
And this is gonna be an ordeal not because of difficulty but because my GOD is my phone's autocorrect in a mood. Maybe I'll leave the next paragraph in tact just so you can see what all I'm trying to deal with here.
BACK TO THE KICKED CONFIRM. We anyway knew there weren't gonna be any guards but hey, nice that she loves around.
Who's, lol, want expecting opening the door to interrupt Clive's nobody.
"The purpose of this facility is to rest and train a kids best" what the heck is a Kia beat. I suppose well find out.
BACK TO THE locked* coliseum*. We already* knew there weren't gonna be any guards but hey, nice that she looked* around.
Whoops*, lol, wasn't* expecting opening the door to interrupt Clive's monologue*.
"The purpose of this facility is to rear* and train a Kuza* beast*" what the heck is a Kuza* beast*. I suppose we'll* find out.
It's behaving a lot better now that I've decided to let it call itself out. I'm on to you, swipe.
Can't lie, considering how narrow these halls are I'm impressed Dorys got past all these Akashic.
AN ALIVE CHILD. Good news, Dorys, it was worth the trip. Hey, she even knew Chadwick before he got eaten.
Oh it's just a behemoth. Zzz. ....A BLUEhemoth hehehe. Zzzzzzz.
How the hell do I get into the arena.
Oh lol there was a busted wall just down the hall from where the child was. Good thing I didn't run all the way around this place looking for a door or anything, ha ha. Ahem.
I wish Dorys could catch a break ever. Oof.
.... IF I'D KNOWN YOU WERE GONNA DROP ME BACK AT THE HIDEAWAY I'D'VE DONE THE OTHER QUEST OUT THAT WAY FIRST. not like it's hard to teleport back over there or anything that's not the point.
Hmmmmmm. Behemoth King S Rank was DEFINITELY not on the board five minutes ago. Oops. Guess we're fighting.
anyway, books.
Lol this man stole a logbook from a garrison? Amazing.
HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND ME HERE. HOW DO YOU *EXIST* HERE. WHAT THE FUCK. No, you can't have the book, go kick rocks. Like, don't get me wrong, I absolutely expected the Executors to show up after all that talk, but I didn't expect it to be ten yalms outside the door. What if I'd just warped back to the hideaway immediately? shit, now I'm curious.
lol he really thinks he can take me.
Clive doesn't know because he hasn't actually read it, dude. I mean, it's true his wits are maybe not the keenest, but. He hasn't had it long enough to actually read it, it was a fair answer.
Lol okay so I saved to a new slot and reloaded and they straight up just don't let you teleport out. Cute, guys.
Yeah, Viv, of course you can continue your work here, just keep working on your attitude. We all know Clive is an idiot but it wouldn't kill you to treat him slightly less like one. (He doesn't even seem to care, lol, IT'S JUST ME WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT.)
oh and now there's a banshee in Garnick. Y'all are doing this on purpose.
Oh Joshua has a quest for me. I didn't notice with everything else going on.
What does it even matter what Dad's will was? The whole Duchy and everything in it was destroyed. But yeah let's go see what he had to say.
Should've done this 5 quests ago so I could've had backup hahaha. WHATEVER, I don't need backup, I've got TORGAL.
first though, that King Behemoth dropped another orichalcum.... Which brought me to three. Was that the only material I was missing....?
..... Nope, rip, still need another piece of darksteel. Damn.
HARPOCRATES NEEDS ME, NEVER MIND, SORRY JOSHUA. DETOUR.
Ohhh he was Dion's tutor.
Oh dude don't worry he's just sulking and skulking, you can talk to him.
Iiiiii'm not sure that flower is the best move?
Oh, we're looking for a wild one. That might be fine.
Hm. The critters in the Angry Gap are all Akashic EXCEPT the flan, which just turned purple. That's kinda interesting
Why is this banshee actually another Garuda-thing. She's been dead for literally years. ???
Whatever, now she's dead again.
Let's go see whatever we were supposed to be doing in Boklad.
Ah, right, the field marshal. "Interfering Old Bastard Of An Uncle" lol yeah that sounds like him.
Not convincing your brother to take his medicine has nothing to do with your powers of persuasion and everything to do with him BEING A FUCKING ROSFIELD. We've been over this, Clive. Tarja has been over this. Jote has been over this. EVERYONE has been over this.
Oh right I was gonna drop this flower off. SORRY HARPOCRATES IT'S THE ADHD.
Oh for fuck's sake, Dion. Don't make me drag you over by your ear. Clive might not be willing to but I will.
DION YOU ARE BREAKING HIS OLD MAN HEART I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR NOSE. violence upon his highness!!!
Both you assholes better survive this. Not sure how you'll pull that one off, but YOU GODDAMN BETTER.
Ennggg I'll just pick up the last two quests currently in the hideaway.
"In the clouds" so she's trying to figure out how to get it airborne, we kinda knew that already. Whenever anyone says Midadol my eyes read it as Midol. I'm sorry, Mid, I've been trying to stop but it's been days and hours.
But WHY is the bearer brand so intricate when the ink is so deadly. Wouldn't they rather have a simpler design that surely has less risk of accidentally killing their slaves?
Oops, we scared Mid? Oh, no, she just has a breakthrough right as we came over.
Clive, listen to Herman's accent, he's FROM there. He's probably got unfinished business.
Oof, yeah, he absolutely does. Let's get him that registry.
CLIVE, YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN TO THIS ORPHANAGE. WE HAD TO SIT ON OUR HANDS TO NOT MAKE "BAD BACK" JOKES.
How unsatisfying to read that the director was informed he'd killed his own daughter and only then realized what a damn monster he'd been. At least he's dead now. What utter trash.
Oh no corpse. Well HOPEFULLY HE'S DEAD ANYWAY.
Joshua, stop collapsing mid-combat.
Gonna drop in on Quinten next. He doesn't want to, because we already knew that was gonna be the answer, and his Bearers are mad that he won't, as we also kind of anticipated, lol. Thanks for the assist, unnamed NPC.
Time to deliver the good news to our uncle, at least SOMETHING is going right.
lol this bickering. They really did need Quinten here.
Aaaaand the registry to Herman. MAYBE THE CHILDREN ATE HIM. That's not actually better, I mean, but. They were being starved.
You write that book, and I'll beat back the Executors who try to hide it from society.
I don't remember what quest aiming hi--- oh wait of course this was for Mid for the airship prototype. Let's go get that shit.
Absolutely love that Clive asked Torgal, if he were a tortoise, where would he hide? Pet owner insanity striking even video game protagonists.
Lollll. "TELL ME. THIS IS ALL. YOU NEED." sorry, Clive. It's never that easy.
Oh hey the return of the unused cog!
Oh my god they've been dismantling the entire hideaway and putting it back incompletely since then.
Airship denial. Damn. Just spin the propellers harder. Though yeah also the last thing this combat-happy society needs is another way to kill each other. What a dilemma.....
Oh a treasure hunt! That's right, that map!
I like this plan of hers actually hahaha. Build it all, HIDE IT ALL. Damn menace, lol.
Hahaha she threatens to give the name "Cid" to Jill if Clive fucks up.
Running out of quests, but I'm pretty sure if I finish Where There's A Will then Joshua will drop back out of the party so at least it's the easy choice between the two remaining. And I need to find those hunt marks, too, bleh.
Ofc they're just out the other side of Northreach so it's not like it's COMPLETELY out of the way to go get them first.
No, Mr Knight, I'm DEFINITELY not the one who drove his highness to madness. He's actually fine, but you wouldn't believe that
THIS IS NOT CAPE ORSIERE.
I mean, it is but I thought they meant like. Way to the back not here in the middle, haha. I'm just mad because I overshot by like 7 miles.
Godddd I hate lich-types. HOLD STILL, YOU FUCK.
YOOOO THE DARKSTEEL I NEEDED
A friend of mine was saying he never noticed this frozen wave was a frozen wave and all I can think is that he must have been the only person in the entire world to not zoom the camera over into it because. It's so, so obviously a frozen wave.
One more mark on the map though let's see if we can find that dragon. I noticed a spot that I think was blocked off before (I at least haven't explored there) is open now so I'm starting there.
Huh. This sure LOOKS like a boss/big hunt mark arena, but there's nothing?
JK I just needed to walk across it.
Nektar won't tell us which forest he's from lol.
Am I done with hunts????
Oh right I was gonna check the treasure map description again. "Path to Kretov." Well, there's a few of those, but okay. Let's run them up and down at least. And I've spent A Lot of time in the fields of Corava, so let's go the other way first.....
Heyyyy! On the lower route I found "one man's treasure" hahaha. That definitely wasn't here before. Cool.
Okay anyway on to Northreach FOR REAL this time.
Isn't that outpost abandoned.
Oh no that's Westwatch.
Clean kills sure but he's left them in the middle of the damn road, that's not very subtle.
Ah, good, his legs unlocked while we were killing the aevis. Hehe hopefully to sneak off and get the book, perfect opportunity.
Hahaha, INDEED! Sneaky bugger. Well played, kid.
OOPS A NEW QUEST, GUESS YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME A BIT LONGER YET, JOSH.
Ah, speaking of Gav. He needs a silver chocobo feather. Just had to need SILVER, then, didn't you, Gav. We could've done white no problem....
I hate it when I talk to the right NPC first and get pointed in the right direction but I still have to talk to everyone else first. Zzz.
Oh wow the tracks are actually there in the mud.
Heeere choco-choco-boco.
Oh, a nest. That's good enough.
HERE THEY ARE!!! PLSSSS don't make me fight them.
Oh good. RUN, CLIVE. Just this one we're gonna fast travel.
That charm's bigger than the baby is gonna be.
Edda, you better watch out, I think Gav is planning on adopting your baby.
Oh wow, we're over at the bar and he's not even pretending he isn't, lol.
Lord, you're drunk. But also at 10 years old I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have made a difference except as another dead body, so ease up. Also switch to water.
You do NOT get my sword I'm dying with this thing after all the hunts I killed to get it, screw you.
blehhhh Cyril time. When does the DLC.content start.
Daaaaaad ;o; You would've loved Cid and his plans.......
Ma'am couldn't find anyone to finish the armbands? I GOTTA DO EVERYTHING.
SHE KNEW?? AND SHE WASN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING! that must have been killing her all these years ughhhh I'm so sorry Lady Goditha. How awful. FUCKING ANABELLA.
Yay, visiting dad. HE WAS A GOOD DAD. and a good dude. He would absolutely approve of us fighting Ultima to death. He'd approve more if one or both of you manage to survive this somehow.
..... o lol Joshua is staying in the party. I could've done this first. Oops.
Holy cats, that treasure sells for 100,000.
I got two spots left to fill on the wall of memories.... And another quest in the mail.
Gasp IT'S A QUEST FOR JILL. OUTTA MY WAY, DOOR, I GOT SHIT TO TAKE CARE OF.
WASHUA. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN. We love Jill we want her to feel better.
lol it doesn't even occur to Clive there might not be any snow daisies.....
tragically there AREN'T. booo. Damn blight.
yaaaay we found more
JOSHUA YOU LITTLE SHIT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY IN MY PARTY though okay yeah it'd be awkward to third wheel a date, especially considering how awkward these two already are.
Ugh they're awkward as hell but they're so cute.
This fucking game really is doing its damnedest to make me really want Clive to live. I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DIE, GAME, I JUST FIGURE IT'S INEVITABLE AND YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE YOU SUCK I HATE YOU
HEY BUT THERE'S MY DLC CONTENT
Oh okay Joshua got back in the party. That's fine, then.
THE RETURN OF THE CLOTH CHOICE. STOP BEING CUTE, YOU TWO. CLIVE, YOU CAN'T DIE, TORGAL AND JILL WILL WASTE AWAY WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK. SOB.
Hey I maxed out my rank with Harpocrates! All learnings learned!!
YO I KNEW THE ARETE STONE AND THE HANDS OF THE EIKONS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH ULTIMA AND EVIL. I KNEW IT. HA!!!
embarrassed to admit it took me until now to realize the Fallen and Ultima ARE in fact different civilizations, oops. Look, it's not my fault the Fallen copied Ultima's shit.
Also I still can't decide if Mid being adopted makes her name better or worse. If it's just a coincidence??? That's just insane.
Anyway that's all the sidequests I guess so I'm gonna stop here. The DLC can have their own entries.
I really need to go pay DW and unlock the rest of my icons already.
Okay I looked it up, I have to have unlocked the Origin as a location on the map. As I suspect Origin is the final dungeon, that means these only barely take place before the the end of the game when everyone dies or whatever (JK I know Torgal lives).
And here's Torgal now, staring at Origin as it hovers annoyingly in the distance.
Jill and Gav having a drink in the Ale Hall and she's wondering if there are other crystals hiding out there. Considering Ultima summoned his "fuck off crystal," though, my money's on no.
Uh oh. Jackin doesn't have ANY animal with him. What happened.
Oh, he just befriended them all. And now he wants beasts. It ain't happening, kid.
OSCAR WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO EASTPOOL THEN JUST BLOODY GO.
Hmmm, I didn't see Jote in my run around the hideaway. Maybe she just wasn't targetable.
Otto, I swear I didn't create that thing, it's not my fault. Dx
Oh there's Jote, so yeah she was just hiding in a corner somewhere.
Viv, you're not the only one who's homeland got wiped off the map, here. For someone who's all about the bigger picture.....
Thanks, Joshua, that was sufficiently bleak, now we can move on from the moping.
The Enterprise can't fly, but Dion and Joshua can. Don't worry about it. Heck, Shiva sort of can. Someone can just carry Clive and Torgal.
Oh good the fliers are arguing.

Ugh Jill. I hope you don't have to wait forever.
HOLY SIDEQUESTS, BATMAN.
Oh NOO TORGAL. what does my good dog need :(
What IS he looking at.
lollll, DON'T TOUCH MY BLING, HUMAN. Noted, sir. Now where are we going? An island.
Hahaha and now he's growling at Clive for suggesting he might have to swim. There's room in the boat, don't worry.
MIST? THIS IS MIST?? TIME TO AFK IN MIST IN TWO GAMES AT ONCE!!!

Torgal, you're breaking my heart, here, you poor thing. CLIVE YOU CAN'T DIE NOW YOUR DOG WILL NEVER RECOVER

Both you assholes better survive this. Not sure how you'll pull that one off, but YOU GODDAMN BETTER.
Ennggg I'll just pick up the last two quests currently in the hideaway.
"In the clouds" so she's trying to figure out how to get it airborne, we kinda knew that already. Whenever anyone says Midadol my eyes read it as Midol. I'm sorry, Mid, I've been trying to stop but it's been days and hours.
But WHY is the bearer brand so intricate when the ink is so deadly. Wouldn't they rather have a simpler design that surely has less risk of accidentally killing their slaves?
Oops, we scared Mid? Oh, no, she just has a breakthrough right as we came over.
Clive, listen to Herman's accent, he's FROM there. He's probably got unfinished business.
Oof, yeah, he absolutely does. Let's get him that registry.
CLIVE, YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN TO THIS ORPHANAGE. WE HAD TO SIT ON OUR HANDS TO NOT MAKE "BAD BACK" JOKES.
How unsatisfying to read that the director was informed he'd killed his own daughter and only then realized what a damn monster he'd been. At least he's dead now. What utter trash.
Oh no corpse. Well HOPEFULLY HE'S DEAD ANYWAY.
Joshua, stop collapsing mid-combat.
Gonna drop in on Quinten next. He doesn't want to, because we already knew that was gonna be the answer, and his Bearers are mad that he won't, as we also kind of anticipated, lol. Thanks for the assist, unnamed NPC.
Time to deliver the good news to our uncle, at least SOMETHING is going right.
lol this bickering. They really did need Quinten here.
Aaaaand the registry to Herman. MAYBE THE CHILDREN ATE HIM. That's not actually better, I mean, but. They were being starved.
You write that book, and I'll beat back the Executors who try to hide it from society.
I don't remember what quest aiming hi--- oh wait of course this was for Mid for the airship prototype. Let's go get that shit.
Absolutely love that Clive asked Torgal, if he were a tortoise, where would he hide? Pet owner insanity striking even video game protagonists.
Lollll. "TELL ME. THIS IS ALL. YOU NEED." sorry, Clive. It's never that easy.
Oh hey the return of the unused cog!
Oh my god they've been dismantling the entire hideaway and putting it back incompletely since then.
Airship denial. Damn. Just spin the propellers harder. Though yeah also the last thing this combat-happy society needs is another way to kill each other. What a dilemma.....
Oh a treasure hunt! That's right, that map!
I like this plan of hers actually hahaha. Build it all, HIDE IT ALL. Damn menace, lol.
Hahaha she threatens to give the name "Cid" to Jill if Clive fucks up.
Running out of quests, but I'm pretty sure if I finish Where There's A Will then Joshua will drop back out of the party so at least it's the easy choice between the two remaining. And I need to find those hunt marks, too, bleh.
Ofc they're just out the other side of Northreach so it's not like it's COMPLETELY out of the way to go get them first.
No, Mr Knight, I'm DEFINITELY not the one who drove his highness to madness. He's actually fine, but you wouldn't believe that
THIS IS NOT CAPE ORSIERE.
I mean, it is but I thought they meant like. Way to the back not here in the middle, haha. I'm just mad because I overshot by like 7 miles.
Godddd I hate lich-types. HOLD STILL, YOU FUCK.
YOOOO THE DARKSTEEL I NEEDED
A friend of mine was saying he never noticed this frozen wave was a frozen wave and all I can think is that he must have been the only person in the entire world to not zoom the camera over into it because. It's so, so obviously a frozen wave.
One more mark on the map though let's see if we can find that dragon. I noticed a spot that I think was blocked off before (I at least haven't explored there) is open now so I'm starting there.
Huh. This sure LOOKS like a boss/big hunt mark arena, but there's nothing?
JK I just needed to walk across it.
Nektar won't tell us which forest he's from lol.
Am I done with hunts????
Oh right I was gonna check the treasure map description again. "Path to Kretov." Well, there's a few of those, but okay. Let's run them up and down at least. And I've spent A Lot of time in the fields of Corava, so let's go the other way first.....
Heyyyy! On the lower route I found "one man's treasure" hahaha. That definitely wasn't here before. Cool.
Okay anyway on to Northreach FOR REAL this time.
Isn't that outpost abandoned.
Oh no that's Westwatch.
Clean kills sure but he's left them in the middle of the damn road, that's not very subtle.
Ah, good, his legs unlocked while we were killing the aevis. Hehe hopefully to sneak off and get the book, perfect opportunity.
Hahaha, INDEED! Sneaky bugger. Well played, kid.
OOPS A NEW QUEST, GUESS YOU'RE STUCK WITH ME A BIT LONGER YET, JOSH.
Ah, speaking of Gav. He needs a silver chocobo feather. Just had to need SILVER, then, didn't you, Gav. We could've done white no problem....
I hate it when I talk to the right NPC first and get pointed in the right direction but I still have to talk to everyone else first. Zzz.
Oh wow the tracks are actually there in the mud.
Heeere choco-choco-boco.
Oh, a nest. That's good enough.
HERE THEY ARE!!! PLSSSS don't make me fight them.
Oh good. RUN, CLIVE. Just this one we're gonna fast travel.
That charm's bigger than the baby is gonna be.
Edda, you better watch out, I think Gav is planning on adopting your baby.
Oh wow, we're over at the bar and he's not even pretending he isn't, lol.
Lord, you're drunk. But also at 10 years old I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have made a difference except as another dead body, so ease up. Also switch to water.
You do NOT get my sword I'm dying with this thing after all the hunts I killed to get it, screw you.
blehhhh Cyril time. When does the DLC.content start.
Daaaaaad ;o; You would've loved Cid and his plans.......
Ma'am couldn't find anyone to finish the armbands? I GOTTA DO EVERYTHING.
SHE KNEW?? AND SHE WASN'T ABLE TO DO ANYTHING! that must have been killing her all these years ughhhh I'm so sorry Lady Goditha. How awful. FUCKING ANABELLA.
Yay, visiting dad. HE WAS A GOOD DAD. and a good dude. He would absolutely approve of us fighting Ultima to death. He'd approve more if one or both of you manage to survive this somehow.
..... o lol Joshua is staying in the party. I could've done this first. Oops.
Holy cats, that treasure sells for 100,000.
I got two spots left to fill on the wall of memories.... And another quest in the mail.
Gasp IT'S A QUEST FOR JILL. OUTTA MY WAY, DOOR, I GOT SHIT TO TAKE CARE OF.
WASHUA. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN. We love Jill we want her to feel better.
lol it doesn't even occur to Clive there might not be any snow daisies.....
tragically there AREN'T. booo. Damn blight.
yaaaay we found more
JOSHUA YOU LITTLE SHIT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STAY IN MY PARTY though okay yeah it'd be awkward to third wheel a date, especially considering how awkward these two already are.
Ugh they're awkward as hell but they're so cute.
This fucking game really is doing its damnedest to make me really want Clive to live. I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DIE, GAME, I JUST FIGURE IT'S INEVITABLE AND YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE YOU SUCK I HATE YOU
HEY BUT THERE'S MY DLC CONTENT
Oh okay Joshua got back in the party. That's fine, then.
THE RETURN OF THE CLOTH CHOICE. STOP BEING CUTE, YOU TWO. CLIVE, YOU CAN'T DIE, TORGAL AND JILL WILL WASTE AWAY WAITING FOR YOU TO COME BACK. SOB.
Hey I maxed out my rank with Harpocrates! All learnings learned!!
YO I KNEW THE ARETE STONE AND THE HANDS OF THE EIKONS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH ULTIMA AND EVIL. I KNEW IT. HA!!!
embarrassed to admit it took me until now to realize the Fallen and Ultima ARE in fact different civilizations, oops. Look, it's not my fault the Fallen copied Ultima's shit.
Also I still can't decide if Mid being adopted makes her name better or worse. If it's just a coincidence??? That's just insane.
Anyway that's all the sidequests I guess so I'm gonna stop here. The DLC can have their own entries.
I really need to go pay DW and unlock the rest of my icons already.

This was MADDENING. Stop just standing around and telling me you're going to Eastpool!
There are so many sidequests! And they're so weirdly distributed; you'd expect the game to focus more on the main plot as you approach the end, and instead it just throws escalating numbers of sidequests at you. Learn to delegate, Clive! You're the leader of the resistance; you can't just run off on every little errand someone asks for! You've got things to do!
it keeps changing Sanbreque into sanctuary but as soon as I give up and start trying to swipe sandwiches it gives me --- well, sandwiches, now, apparently
I snorted aloud at this.
opening the door to interrupt Clive's nobody.
Suddenly we're in the world of Kingdom Hearts. Can't wait to meet Clive's Nobody, Vixcel.
But WHY is the bearer brand so intricate when the ink is so deadly. Wouldn't they rather have a simpler design that surely has less risk of accidentally killing their slaves?
This is... a really good point.
no subject
But also omg seriously this was way too many sidequests to suddenly hit me with. Some of them needed to wait until after we'd been to Ash, yeah, okay, I respect that, but there was no reason for that many of them to pop up the way they did. Plan it better next time, guys!
Learn to delegate, Clive!
PLEASE.
VIXCEL OH NO. Well, he can't be worse (better?) at this than Clive. Small mercies? NO ONE TELL ULTIMA ABOUT CREATING HEARTLESS THE AKASHIC ARE BAD ENOUGH
