I cross Rock Tunnel. After two dozen or so battles, I arrive at the end, and meet another future party member, Little Girl, going to the opposite direction. Estelle and Josh decide to follow her all the way back instead of going out to the comfort of Zeiss. Danmit it.

fortunately theres an infinite rest thingy in the middle of the dungeon so this already has better QoL than the original Rock Tunnel from Pokemon

we meet the girl, who is trying to protect a lamp from a horde of monsters. She fires a cannon at her but misses, and the monsters all turn at her. What happens to all those helpless NPCs when we are not around, they die? Because I'm pretty sure this is at least the third time we have to bail some suicidal NPC from a monster horde

I want to just white gehenna those dorks but decide to take it slow, which pays off, because I find out Little Girl's basic attack is AoE

I repeat.

Her basic attack is AoE.

This is not a drill.

and it deals about the same damage as like, Estelle's basic attack. Granted, its area of effect is pitiful but an AoE basic attack is just incredible for any RPG's standards

Josh then explains for the 11th time the reason the monsters attacked the lamp was because of the sepith in it. Surely Estelle will learn that concept before the trilogy ends. I hope.

Tita, the girl, is the resident tech whiz. She knows the lamp was broken because her computer told her to. Estelle, who still lives in pre-information age, has no idea what shes talking about. To be fair this is a world where cell phones are considered miliary grade technology, so it's hard to know what the exact tech standards here are. It's close to the real world but not quite.

she starts with 4 slots, which is still more than Agate. LOL Agate

her orbment shape is a little worse than Estelle's but not much, and again, better than Agate's. Though those 2 space slots will be tricky to get around. Space doesn't have any dedicated spells and is only used to support other elements, which means I'll have to be creative.

ngl having a party member who is a little girl running with a massive gun is kinda of funny. I'm a fan of little characters who are more badass than they should reasonably be

She yells "Prepare to meet your doom!" when she uses her craft. Awesome.

we arrive at Zeiss. The entrance to the city is inside the factory. That sounds inconvenient for the factory itself

Wow, I love the factory song. Normally, factory music in games is some kind of quick techno. Here it's just a very laid back jazz

the song is for all of Zeiss, actually

the game lags a lot in the landing port, which kinda makes sense since they made a large 3d background for it

the protagonists are bewildered by the magic of the escalator

weapons shop: "we cater to the violently inclined!" hell yeah

Zeiss doesn't have a mayor, it has a factory chief instead. That already makes it a better place to raise your children than the other mayor infested regions

The bracer guild officer, Kilika, has deduction skills that might match Josh's. Might.

the factory's archives has a dumb, but fun story about some guys fighting a genie. It's not completel. I wanna see the end, lol.

one of the books I'm supposed to recover for the library as part of a sidequest is "kitty talk for dummies". Hmm.

"contains candid kitty conversations. Meow"

So Tita's grandpa is the guy who led the Orbal Revolution, who in turn is the disciple to the guy who invented orbments. ofc

Tita's slots have been maxed out. I finally open slots for someone besides Estelle/Josh

ok Tita's orbment sucks. In theory, the shape is fine, but try to find an use for 2 space slots that isn't some mega AoE spell Tita probably can't get anyway (and doesn't need since she's the AoE queen). I think she can get white gehenna? But then she's only doing that, and overlapping with Josh at that. This will take work to figure out.
