Valimar can magically track the other members of Class VII because they were there during the trial. I notice that curiously omits Crow, though...

Also, Toval gives *Rean* a head-pat.

Story suggests I'm getting a choice between Celdic, Highlands, and Legram, and I'm all like Legram please, but Rean's all like "mehh, we should go to Celdic. It's closerrr." What*ever*. You're using some kind of mystical travel where distance has no importance, but sure, pick the closest one.

Rean and Toval float through the spirit path like Superman, but Celine just looks like pop-tart cat. Or Rudolph.

And with that, hi, title card. I've apparently begun Act 1. Thank god we're out of that gray limbo between prologue and act 1. I wouldn't have had a word for that!

Hi national park. Hi angry baboon boss. Hi new attack mode that I'm being forced to use on turn 1 instead of WHEN I ACTUALLY NEEDED IT! Stupid boss keeps wiping away speed down, and kicking my freaking ass. I have no actual healer, so Rean gets KO'ed, and then with him having no CP, I turn him into a healbot casting Tear for Toval...which isn't exactly effective, but it gets the job done. All of this could have been simplified if I could have used Overdrive a couple turns into the battle instead of immediately.

It's kind of fun how the game designers can just reuse all the first game's area assets, and this is actually seen as positive instead of lazy. Like, the one thing sets Trails games apart from other RPGs is how much care they put into designing real people with a complete life, so that when you get to the church in Celdic, you go "aww, there's those kids, including the girl with the cat!"

And I was thinking we'd maybe find a Class VII student in this first house but no, it's Becky.

Enemies on this highway really kinda hurt. Thankfully I crafted a Breath earlier, but I'd be bleeding out of my gums otherwise. I think I need to figure out some better tactics pretty soon.

Proof Rean can do more than give head-pats:


Monkey-ass joins the party! And Eliot and Fie are here somewhere. I wonder if I'll start calling Eliot 'Craig' again.
