i totally buy that, haiku village sounds like a Japan thing, through and through. and yeah, the accents thing i think have been around since 8 but goddamn, sometimes it's just a little much.

back to playthrough:
I make my way over to the dungeon and check, barely fighting anything.

5 treasures.
Blue Eye.
Pixle Pole.
Mini Medal.
Seed of Magic.
Green Eye.

well that was easy. the monster to face at the end seems pretty obvious so i just ignored it and went to get the last two chests in this area. also at this point i've gotta ask how many eyes there are; i've found like 6 colors. anyway, time for the boss, a pair of Coralossuses.

they each can cover for the other and seem to alternate. but... yep.
...each is vulnerable to sleep.

well this fight just got stupidly easy. sleep one, attack the other, then have Erik deal massive damage. switch. also Woosh does a crapton of damage to them so uh... yeah, this fight ends without issue. slightly worrisome is that there's a sign right before the monster saying no unauthorized access, meaning this was a guardian. but alright, i get the water, cutscene, Serena somehow makes a fancy bottle out of nothing, and we're off.

avoid enemy, avoid enemy, avoid enemy, oh hey Erik got pep power. keep avoiding enemy, get back to town. forgot to do that quest, whoops. i'll get to it later. once i'm in town the group says it's time to split up. alright, sounds go-- motherfucker is just going with the ladies? Sylva-NO is getting in the way of waifus and keeping me with Erik. asshole. and they can't even find the kid! whatever, i continue the plot point and get to the center and... there we go, first of the two knights, Jasper. also known as "the smart one" so shouldn't be that strong. Erik and i get into a fight and uh... i just use his pep power to start of turn damage these guys. it's apparently a 2HKO and hits every enemy so lol, whoops. alas, it's no good and we're surrounded by enemies after, but fortunately we've got new allies now! Veronica and Sylvando pose and i still cannot take her seriously but she's spamming fireballs with the worst accuracy in the world and her "YEAH! ...Honey!" is perfect.

as this happens, Serena pulls me away.
you uh, do realize he's the smart one, right? like, you don't think escaping will be THAT easy do you?

oh, they think it is. he then shoots a ball of black magic, Erik tanks it in the chest for me, and tells me to abandon him. ...man, that guy's a true bro, through and through. he gets me out of jail, he goes on a wild adventure, i'm sure i'll eventually meet this "sage" he talked about too considering it was an obvious plot point we're forgetting about for now - maybe she'll join even - and here we are. the four of us get away, guess this will be a 4 man journey again, i'll miss the thief.

...or apparently not, we're gonna go save him too. wait, how's that work? ...Jasper's plan is just... flood the place with numbers? he already saw we can school soldiers without a problem, why does he think THAT tactic will work? and we already gave him the slip once before too so we clearly established a knowledge of terrain that he does not have. how is this man the smart one? but apparently we're gonna cut through buildings and ohhh this is the tightrope stuff, isn't it? i get into a few fights, get my way around, don't get bothered at all by these enemies, and reach the point the game wants me to. cutscene, he's tied up Erik. ...you uh, do realize this man escaped prison, right? you've got an awful lot of confidence that he can't escape at all. but no, he's still looking. and so the next plot point is get on a gondola to reach that point, alright. apparently Jasper never decided to protect a fucking port before because i do so with ease, get behind him, and cutscene where i'm behind him and he sends all of his troops away.

are we sure he's the smart one?
