so everyone in town is depressed because far as they can tell the world is ending. which i mean, the tree of life just fell so yeah. i'm told about a guy who got in town and got robbed along the end of the map, guess that's where i'm going. find him, cutscene, he got jacked by the Beastie Boys. Beasty Boys? whatever, by the non-copyright band. i guess we're a Jojo series now and the new MC is called Sylvanjo.

i find 'em.
beat 'em up.
take 15 silver coins.
and grab the stolen bag in a cutscene.

they explain that they're just forced between starving and crime because no sea travel is possible. i don't quite think that's how things work but either way, Sylv smacked sense into 'em and turns a pike into a long loaf of italian bread so huzzah. i deliver the bag to its owner, he tells me to meet him in Hotto later, and we're good to go. as i leave cutscene where they join me for now and we've gotta go do some stuff in the area right outside as the goal is to bring hope back to people, one at a time. good mission, i like it.

oh yeah, for personal notes: gated silver door in this city. important little thing there!
i leave the city and am on my way to Gallopolis i think. the G names threw me off but i remember being told to come out into the swampy area and there i go, mostly skipping fights and i eventually run into a priest. he's depressed but wants some talking cow's milk, however the cow is depressed too. so i cheer up the cow, it gives me a pail of milk - how the fuck it milked itself, i do not know - and i give it to the priest who chugs it and then joins my team. so now my party is 3 lost boys, a priest, and a flamboyant circus act.

no comment.
as i make my way to Gallopolis a cutscene hits where a guy and a couple guards talk to me about how the circus is still active and trying to cheer people up, but alas, they're all depressed too. i guess i'm doing that show. i make my way over, talk to the person in charge, who tells me to find 2 people. alright.

person 1, juggler, i just said red ball and he joined.
person 2, drummer dude who's off on the side all depressed so he can't join. he says after we cheer up his girl he will so i look around, find nobody, then decide the game's fucking with me again and... yep, talk to the super flashy horse that used to be Sylv's and that'd be it. they bond over his horse, cheer her up, and he joins. that's 2/2, woo. i also talk to the horse and she gives me horse shit.

i talk again, i get another chunk of it.
i uh, am gonna stop talking to this horse.

to the circus!
talk to ringmaster, cutscene, everyone oohs and ahhs as the show is a success. ringmaster talks to me afterwards about how i (Sylv) remind him of the woman who inspired him to spread cheer to the world. she got married to a famous knight, never saw her again again, and Sylv reacts to it. would that be his mom? my mom? either way, we don't dwell on it though as 3 of the circus peeps wanna join too, prompting the game to tell me to go to a camp to re-arrange my party because apparently i've got too many groupies.

tree circus dudes, a priest, 3 lost boys, and the great sylvando. this group is officially no girls allowed. burly ship guy says Hotto Steppe next, so we're off. eventually i run into a man who's by a monster, clearly he needs help! to... grow it?

...wait the horse shit had a purpose? fuck me, here i thought this was just a gag. here ya go plant buddy, enjoy. as a result of my generous gift, botanist joins the crew. swear to god this ship is gonna be fucking busy. i keep going towards Hotto, as i cross the bridge new guy tells me to beat up some monsters and get food. sure, can do. he then joins me and we're by the campfire so i'm gonna take a look at the party i've got.

martial artist good, priest added in, juggler is a mage so he's in, botonist good because he's apparently potions, a guy who puts enemies to sleep good. alright, that'll do. sleep guy is the most ? but it's basically a choose your support between ailments, buffs, and debuffs. keep going towards Hotto, at a bridge there's a Gigantes.

fight, win. in hindsight, attack buffer probably was the best option considering i hit 3 times for free. too late now though, off to Hotto, the haiku village. there's a weird verification to enter the village but i do anyway. cutscene, old man in Hotto and his mom are here and they got a present.

...a pseudo-float with one wheel. i see. and then the lost boys got someth-- oh holy fuck he's a motherfucking peacock now.
he gets on the float and cue a scene of some 12 dudes shouting HERE WE COME as they kick like rockettes to a man in a peacock outfit on an almost rainbow float with elephants or something.

this is a very joyful group alright. >_>;
...oh, game prompts me to save. well alright. and cue a new title...
