The assault on Leeves and the Branch Campus was fun, definitely way better than the equivalent in CS2 with Trista. lmao Schmidt using the situation tun another Keep trial what an absolute legend. Though tbqh between Rean, Randy, and Tita's Orbal Gear this was hardly a fair fight. tbqh that three could have handled this by themselves. Nice to see Mary and Makarov again too. Also it just hit me that of Schmidt's four disciples the odd numbered ones are evil and the even ones are cool. Mint now looking sus even though she's not a disciple she's clearly the closest to a fifth disciple. Though her and Vivi are off wandering around and watching us save Marquis Hyarms and Count Egret from the shadows for reasons.
2-4 Bonding Events Preview:
This was a fairly good slate that exceeded my expectations. Jusis's was nice as expected. Emma's was really good as well, great moments for her and Rean here. Elliot's was... interesting... what with the continued theme of music being able to spread/heal the curse. I would laugh so hard if Elliot actually saved the day in the end with this by defeating the curse with the power of rock - oh my god the Modern Music Club and Pablo in particular were right all along. Elise's was... okay we're going to put the whole Elise thing aside and focus on how I both appreciate the whole bit about them trying to get in touch with their parents but also disappointed there wasn't more on that front. Whole event felt kinda short. The coolest thing here though was how tied into Altina's event this was with a ton of references to both of Altina's prior events. I'm always a fan of the game recognizing stuff you did earlier so I liked this a lot and wish there was more of it. Juna's was... argh Falcom stop this... this isn't Altina-level but argh. I did lol that they found the Loch Ness Monster- I mean Gallie- here and that Rean was like "now that we know it's real we can kill it" because that is 100% right. I am now officially going to be disappointed if we don't. Heck, I half hope it's there right now when I get around to Lake Gala for my rounds this part though I know I won't be that lucky.
However the star, and surprise, of this round was definitely Musse. At first I saw Musse with a heart event and I was like "i know what event is going to miss the cut here" but whoa that went places I did not anticipate. This was a really good event and sets up even more anticipation for the Pantagruel meeting.
Also this is not a bonding event but I have been lowkey pretty sad that the best NPC family hasn't been around at all yet and my reaction to seeing they're a quest now was "yessssssssssssss." Have to make my rounds across Erebonia first though.
