So that overworld sojourn was very, VERY sorry. Vivi and Garnet are both excited about the mythical Ice Cavern. Not totally clear to me why we're playing through here plot wise - everyone was talking about this Mist - but so we are.

These enemies are my fucking bane. The Blizzard does a ton of damage to Garnet. But worse, they have this garbage HP switch move which annoys the bajesus out of me and causes me to waste tons of Potions/Garnet MP to heal. Vivi's Fire is also by far the most effective countermeasure, so I also burn an Ether at some point.

Zidane has the genius idea to let Vivi burn down some ice walls which enables me to snag some equipment. However, there are 2-3 some on ledges I can't reach even if I search for melt-spots. Is that expected?

At the end of the dungeon, the crew faints, but Zidane manages to get up first. We march forward and fight a single-player boss battle, a classic "kill the master of the beast first" situation. Costs us several Potions again. The boss informs us he's just one of three Garnet hunters dispatched, and Zidane... keeps this to himself? What?? What's going on here? Why was Zidane resisitant to the sleeping spell?? And why is he lying???

Deciding Garnet needs a disguise, Zidane encourages her to taje on an alias. And more than a full dungeon after she joined our party, we get the Naming scene for Garnet. Welcome to the game, Dagger. Hope you can hang with the slang. Back to the overwhelms we go.

One parting thought - hiding Garnet's summons in plain sight behind MP restrictions is really interesting.
