Reverie: Should be done with this trip to the Reverie Corridor.

The Corridor itself: Oh, we can only do half of the 4th floor for some reason (even the characters are confused!) so this was quick. This floor's gacha results: Roselia and Vita.

Minigames:

Finished collecting all the swimsuits. "cool"

Magical Alisa Pt. III: Of the three bosses in this one the first/Divine Knight(?) one was the toughest. He almost got me! oh god even here it's ishmaelga. was not ready for his blob form to show up like this.

Project Tyrfing: still a clunky minigame. did better here though and i guess an s-rank may not be *as* hard as i thought it was because i saw i got more than half the points needed from my time bonus so it doesn't have to be no-damage. ...but still no interest in pursuing the s-ranks here.

Quiz, Brutal Difficulty: I didn't like these questions for the most part. They felt exceedingly arbitrary. yeah, yeah "brutal mode" but 3rd's equivalent felt more like genuine questions and not shit like "how many consecutive creepy sheep battles do you fight in cs2"

Daydreams:

Tita Daydream Pt. II: Continuing where we left off and yes this is still the best. I love Einhel's OG theme but this new one was also, as they say, "a banger." And Tita, Alfin, and the New Class VII girls teaming up for a test run through Erika's souped up version was fun. Also this is actually the best daydream because after defeating Erika and Agate, Tita acknowledged the worldbuilding quibble I had after Part I that because the Orbal Gear IV relied on an artifact it was completely unable to be replicated so even if they hadn't lost it the results would be pretty meaningless. Tita just didn't realize it was an artifact until Schmidt told her in this one LOL. But yeah both this daydream and the PArt I were just a ton of fun and heartwarming.

Hexen Clan Daydream: This was another great one, with the Hexen Clan quartet (fun fact: before this daydream but after i got roselia and vita from the gacha, one of my short 4th Stratum runs used this very team for this very reason. it was pretty funny.) Though a lot of what Emma's mom did here seems kinda nuts. Like maybe even more nuts than some of Vita's shit. I get she was Vita's teacher and all but Vita and Roselia are just casually like "yeah she probably altered causality to make all this happen at exactly the right time" and i'm like "bruh." So instead of Emma's mom going to a farm upstate like Roselia told them, she decided to try and solo the Gnomes with predictable results.

My worldbuilding quibble *here* is when Emma's mom explains she violated a Hexen Clan taboo and looked into the future to alter it. She makes it sound like she "had" to mutual kill Alberich's previous incarnation here to push the Great Twilight back enough so that Emma's generation could finish it. ...Except the Great Twilight was on a ridiculously precise schedule that was mapped out at or before the Great Collapse and had to happen exactly when it did so I don't particularly see what killing Alberich 11 years prior does to help. If anything, either he gets murked by the Guild/Church/Ouroboros in the DG Cult cleanup without her intervention or he survives it like Joachim but does *not* end up in position to subvert Reinford as Franz. Just felt weird. Also not really a quibble anymore but IIRC Vita's reason for leaving is still an unknown other than "she committed a taboo" and I wonder if it's the same deal where she looked into the future and whatever she saw made her go, "welp joining Ouroboros." or if it was some other unknown taboo.

Lechter Daydream: A third (fourth if we go back to Tita Pt. 1) good one in a row! I know Falcom has teased Kloe/Lechter from the start but even back in 3rd I liked the Lucy/Lechter ship more and we're still sailing (but so is Kloe) so it was fun seeing a kind of sequel to that door in 3rd. Watching Lechter do intrigue stuff was pretty fun, and then Kloe and Lucy finding him at the end to remind him that there *are* people who care about him just as he was thinking his lack of people like that is what seperated him from the other Ironbloods was sweet.

Freddie Daydream: ...this was basically a filler door lol. Like it wasn't bad but also it felt like a waste of a daydream? Also, lol "They're hot and they're cold, they're 'yes' and they're 'no'" i c wut u did thar nisa. Roselia and Ballad's sniping at each other was pretty great. Roselia actually was like the multi-door MVP for a good chunk of this section. She was in, what, 3 of the 6?

Jingo Daydream: The sequel door we never expected from 3rd. the lucky stone returns. LMAO at Jingo and Shirley "vibing" and also iirc Neinvalli's new location is like right next to the guild which makes it hilarious how Jingo is getting an Enforcer and Jaegers strolling in. Ballad's section was bleh (except for Machias editorializing his investigation outloud lol) but it was nice seeing the tie-in to Orbal Gear IV Part 1 with it being his airship Tita saved (Musse mentions this offhand in Part 2 but cool to see it from this angle.)

Duvalie Daydream: Well, Rean and Duvalie but I didn't want to spoiler another character name here. Tournament Arc! So, making this a bracket meant I was almost certainly going to be mad at us not fighting one of the teams but I wanted that Cassius fight. unfortunately, he was doomed the moment his "fight" in cs4 was actually rean visualizing himself over cassius. Still, I think I'd have subbed that fight in over either Aurelia (cuz we've fought her before) or the two generals. I took Fie (cuz bond choice) and Renne (I wanted someone with Analyze and also I still had hope that maybe we'd fight Cassius and get dialogue from her) but alas I don't know if all your teammates are basically silent here or I just picked poorly (I imagine Laura/Kurt/Elliot/Gaius/maybe Lloyd would have had stuff to say given our actual opponents.) Alfin also sad that Schera was sent to NPC jail but it led to naother hilarious Roselia sighting.

Think that means we're done here and it will be (probably) final dungeon time next!
