The guild was attacked while I was busy falling in an obvious trap. Ofc

they should start getting used to this already. orobouros uses diversions. Do not go to where things are happening, look elsewhere

The entire party has been drugged so Kevin, Schera and Anelace are the party now

Well not Anelace, because she is sent to another sidequest. Danmit!

Cid realizes shit is going down and calls for reinforcements. I'm guessing Dad. Though chances are it's just the boring option (Julia)

They forgot to drug Not a Falcon. That will be their downfall. Unless that's also part of their plan

I'm not following something. Amalthea seems to be the culprit here, but we do know she is not quite aligned with Orobouros, and a repeat of the last's game plot with the intel div being manipulated would be boring. Something else is afoot

I finish making the orbal setup to end all orbal setups, but all the ep increases I just got are useless because the game doesn't let me go to the inn to heal my EP

whatever I'm using items

Kevin's voice acting is annoying

my selective spoiler makes me realize what is about to happen. Amalthea is not Orobouros. But Renne is. She is about to murder the entire intel crew, right?

Amalthea busts out a fucking tank and announces she is conquering the kingdom with it.

Look, that's a powerful looking tank, but I don't think that kind of plan has ever worked before. Worst comes to worst, the queen can just escape through one of the 15 secret passages the castle likely has and return later with 5 airships armed with a thousand bombs each.

The midboss energy Amalthea is giving rn is real. It's clear why Richard was the villain of the last game, not her

lol she doesn't even make it to the castle. Julia stops her

the two are about to fire at each other when... Plot Music starts playing and what seems to be a gospel activates

yeah the tank is definitely from orobouros, but Amalthea is too stupid to realize

Kevin busts out an artifact and neutralizes the gospel. The man is full of tricks, isn't he

the tank has been downgraded from cutscene boss to gameplay boss. TIme to destroy it

Ooooh I get to play as Julia. Nice.

she has a bunch of high end arts. I'm guessing her orbment is full of Tier 4 slots. Niiiiice.

unfortunately its a bunch of aoe and we are fighting a single foe. Whatever

the tank has higher stats than pretty much anything I've faced in the series so far, but it's got the tactical flexibility of a rock. It hits things hard and is sturdy, but is very easy to manuever against

it does make a big explosion when it finally goes down, though

Amalthea doesn't give up though, so we have to face her too. Does she never learn?

the whiole thing is, predictably, pathetic. Can we not fight this boss again plz? She was easy enough the first two times

And Renne, the mastermind, reveals herself

Yep, Doll Knight was foreshadowing

she makes some cool exit. And leaves Estelle heartbroken

Well I was spoiled but I'll give it to ya, this is a cool reveal scene. Albeit it's a little convoluted of a plan for what was just yet another gospel test. But hey, those enforcers like their convoluted plans

We get a cutscene where Cassius brings Richard to Alamthea so he can convince her to stop being an idiot. At last.

The good guys lament not seeing Renne coming. I don't blame them, but that's the 3rd consecutive chapter Orobouros just runs laps around them, and that's not counting last game. At some point they have to stop doing things the most predictable way imaginable. This isn't Legend of Zelda, this is an opponent who likes to use deception

Estelle vows to redeem Renne. If Casius could why can't she, right?

Kevin reveals he is a member of the Church's macguffin hunter squad.

All 8 party members join together. Except Anelace again, because the devs are mean. She joins some other non-playable characters. Kevin also stays out for the time being.

Anelace's team will go find the bad guys' HQ, certainly so that they can later stay outside while the PCs invade it

We get another scene with the bad guys, where Aizen decides he wants to make Estelle join. Out of "free will". After he breaks her mind, that is.

Loewe mentions an interesting detail. The gospels are not meant as weapons. Because the bad guys probably know the same thing I said above: a tank is still just a tank, no matter how strong it is. Now what they are actually meant for is the interesting question.

Chapter 3: "If you need manpower, just use child soldiers": beaten.

now this was a fun chapter. Grancel is kind of lame, so it focused on story instead. The plot felt random, until it was revealed the randomness was intentional, given the nature of the villain.

Agate being a mandatory party member is way beyond forced now. It made sense when only he and Estelle were bracers, but noiw Zin and Schera are around, and Zin is canonically the strongest party member.
