Bit late, but there's one thing that always bugged me about Art's sacrifice in the update before last. Could he not just come back himself and use Omni Gate to return Leon back to the normal world now that he's human and not a guardian? It seemed a kinda pointless sacrifice

I actually thought of that while reading the update, then forgot that until you just reminded me. Yeah, Art's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But really all Earthmates are like that from what I've seen.

RF protagonists are bad at planning. It's not just the Earthmates, Micah from RF3 had the same issue of running in balls first and hoping for the best.

What's really the difference? If anything he has more powers than the average Earthmate because he can turn into a Wooly. e: I guess I never saw an RF endgame with an Earthmate so haven't really seen them knowing that much of anything, not to mention the Earth.

The Epilogue to This Act is Too drat Long I don’t know why Art is so obsessed with trying to get Ventuswill to lighten up. There’s nothing wrong with the way she interacts with the villagers, it’s natural for humans to defer to their dragon. God. King. Actually, I lied, I know exactly what he’s up too. Art is trying to get Venti to open up and be friends with more than one person at a time so that when her time to die comes (because I have trouble believing the spheres are going to keep her alive forever) everyone will be able to talk about it and talk each other out of turning themselves into monsters to prolong her life. And if some idiot does it anyway she’ll have other friends and won’t fall into depression over her only friend in the entire world vanishing without a word. I think I made myself sad there.  Also, Leon is here.  Did something happen? Well, I want Venti to have a better relationship with the people of this town. It doesn't seem like she's having any problems getting along with the others, though... That's true, but... you see...And then Art explained the problem off camera, which is why we only have by ramblings about what his issue actually is. ...Ah, I think I understand. So that's your concern, then. Yeah. I believe I've seen just what you're talking about. And Venti did indeed seem to be acting a bit strange, now that you mention it. Perhaps the best approach here would be to shift your focus.It’s interesting that he thinks Venti is acting strange. He comes from a time when Ventuswill had an actual priesthood devoted to her (although I suspect that the Dragon Priesthood of Leon’s time just evolved into the Dragon Knighthood of the modern era, making Forte Leon’s eventual successor and both of them completely superfluous.). Huh? Think about it. If talking to Venti doesn't help, why not try changing everyone else's perception of her? Venti is easily influenced, after all.Not necessarily a trait one desires in one’s god king. Dragon. Oh... That's a good idea! Thank you very much! No problem. Anyway...I'd like to thank you, too. Huh? For being her friend. Leon… Will you continue to stay by her side? Of course. One more thing... You should also entertain me too, while you're at it. And so Art did travel forth across the town, speaking to the many villagers of the need to treat Ventuswill, the Divine Wind, Dragon God of… pancakes or something, I dunno… like Joe from down the street.  In montage, of course. Terrable forbid the developers think to include an interesting dialogue puzzle into the game. I just want every game to be Planescape, I don’t think that’s too much to ask.  Ah well, so we skipped forward to the end of Art’s montage. Did he succeed?  O-oh! It's you! I've been having countless visitors... b-but why? What's going on?! Well, I called everyone and convinced them all to come see you. Wh-what? How could you do that... and show up before me looking so innocent?! Relax, relax! You look like you're having fun, aren't you? Hmph... Fine... If you insist, I'll say no more. If you insist on being a trouble- maker, I guess I'll just have to grant your wish and eat you up! What?!   Well, I guess we succeeded. That was quite possibly the most difficult side quest in the entire game. Yup. Nothing harder than that. Yeah, I’m done here. What’s going on any place other than here?  What’s our local knight up to?  Pomme-pomme. The most pathetic enemy in the entire game. Watch as she easily strikes it down in a single mighty blow.  ...You are rather cute.Or that. Ha ha! Enough of that. Do Pomme-pommes have tongues?   This has passed dawww and is moving on to embarrassing.  Oh my. Starting to wonder where that thing is licking her…  Oh, well, now that your quickie with the random monster is over.   H-How long have you been standing there? There is no answer here that wouldn’t embarrass her, is there? ACK!! I-it's not what you think! I was not, erm...I...uh... *MUMBLE*... You don't have to be that bashful about it. You just really like adorable monsters. There's nothing wrong with that. I-I do not! I...I just...erm... ...Ngh! ...Hnnngh!Look Forte, the only other explanation is that you’ve got matching bestiality and exhibitionism fetishes. I suggest you take the easy out and just say you like cute monsters. All right, maybe Ventuswill has had time to decide not to eat me by now.  I appreciate what you did, but I'm also angry because you did something you shouldn't have. Is that why you're ignoring me?I don’t think telling you that she’s angry with you counts as ignoring. Hmph! Aha...ha ha...Ah well, she’ll calm down.  My Ironleaf flowers are ready. Ironleaves can be thrown to deal damage. They suck. I’m only growing them for medicinal purposes.  "But I accidentally fell down, throwing the Ironleaf towards a monster! ...I do not think the rest needs explaining. When I told this to Mama, she said that she's done the exact same thing. The only difference is that at that time, Mama's Ironleaf seems to have defeated the monster! It's hard to believe, yes? So I want you to try it out! L  Looks like you've defeated a monster with an Ironleaf. You've completed your task. We'll try a new one next time.Also because the quest called for it. New quests I can actually do are few and far between right now. I mostly just do monster killing, delivery, and shipping quests that you guys don’t want to see a thousand iterations of.  Another festival unlocked. I missed unlocking the Cooking Contest back in early spring, but otherwise I’ll have them all unlocked at the end of the year, and have beaten most of the contests. Contests get harder over time, so knocking out the ones I didn’t beat this year will be tougher, but doable.  Also, it’s late autumn, and it’s starting to snow. Winter is a lovely time to grow crops, only a couple flourish in winter, and many crops have winter as their bad season. This field is gonna stay bare for a while while I focus on using the seasonal fields. The main farm is mostly just providing me with stone and lumber at this point.  Oh Doug, you are hopeless.  I made short work of it, though. Chased it right off, ha ha ha! Hmph. I would've squashed it in half the time it took you. Really? I could have defeated it without even touching it. W-wow! Really?!Oh Vishnal, you are hopeless.  I suspect I could have defeated it as I worked. Oh my goodness, really?! Everyone is so incredible! Uh, Vishnal? They're just messing with you. Still, which of us do you think is the strongest?Not you Mr. Shotacon. Myself, likely. All right then, we shall label Leon the strongest. So Leon is? Wow... Whoa, whoa, whoa! I've got a different opinion over here!Yes, Doug? The strongest one of us is ME! What are you going on about? No way you're the strongest one. What, so you think it's you? Don't kid yourself! What was that, pebble-brain? Just what I said it was, nag!Ooh he had to go and bring horses into it. Decorum, gentlemen. Let us keep our decorum. If we are to decide which of you is stronger, I suggest an arm- wrestling contest. Arm-wrestling? I'm cool with that. Let's do it! Yeah. Bring it on, midget! You've got it, sway-back! I think I'll be heading home.The successful troll, having prompted his fellows to fight amongst themselves, quickly escapes lest the fighting engulf him. I, as well. Oh yeah! I have some work I need to finish. I guess I'll go home too, then. HNGRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! HNNNNNNGGGHH!!!Yeah I think we’ll just leave them to it.  You ain’t just whistling Dixie pal.

The funny part that sadly isn't shown is that Venti actually roars and lunges for the player. http://i.imgur.com/9uq9Tgv.gifv Ventuswill is kind of a sad character when you really think about her longevity and the Rune Spheres. I like to think they will extend her life for some more time, but I doubt she wants to live forever. Man, imagine being mostly stuck in her dumb Dragon Room for decades with no one to really talk to, despite being social. No wonder she's such an odd duck of a Native Dragon.

A Wild Plot Appears! Huh, something’s actually happening.  That voice... Oh dear, a mysterious soldier! If you're looking to start something from the shadows, you've come to the wrong place! Game's over. Your only choice now is to surrender.  Well, Art may not remember you, but I remember knocking you assholes around at level 1. So yeah. What...?  …? …Huh?  Shocking plot twist! Oh wait, no it isn’t, because Doug admitted at the end of Act 1 that he was on the Sechs payroll. Wha…?Oh, right, Venti and I are the only ones who knew about that. ...!   Uh… …Doug? Old lady from outta nowhere! G-Granny Blossom?! There's no way that my Doug would do such a thing! Stay back, Granny! No! How could I? Why should I?! Listen. That boy may look rough, but he's really a very sweet child! Although he complains like you wouldn't believe, he always helps out at my store. And you're saying he's a spy for your nasty little empire? Who's going to believe a silly story like that?!Well, I would, but that’s because Doug declared himself my mortal enemy and spent a long period of time acting against me. Granny...  That's... Hmph! You must have come up with this ludicrous scheme on the spot, to turn us against each other! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, you slimy coward...Can’t tell if she’s making this up as she goes along or if she’s actually gullible enough to believe it.    Holy poo poo he’s gonna shank the old woman!    Holy poo poo he shanked the dwarf. I would have actually approved of this if he wasn’t protecting Blossom at the time. Doug’s been pretty loving annoying up to now. Doug!! Ack! No!Hey, Art finally showed up! Are you all right?! Yeah...I'm fine... But what about...Granny Blossom? Don't you worry about me! *PANT*...*PANT*... Thank...goodness... You...! Your actions are unforgivable!   You started poo poo in the middle of town and I showed up to watch. You didn’t find poo poo. Why do you know my name?  …!   Well, I guess that confirms what we already knew about Art bringing the Rune Spheres here. ...? What are you...?  drat... Why...is this...?     ...That's...   SHOCKING PLOT TWIST… oh wait, no it isn’t. As soon as we discounted the possibility that Ventuswill killed them, the Sechs were the obvious suspects. What...?  Yes, because the Sechs have so many reasons to remain loyal to them. What...do you mean...?   ...How unconscionable...Art, please, stop talking. ...Why...?  STOP!  What?!  I am going to enjoy removing this man’s teeth one punch at a time. Over my dead body. Forte… I'm sorry. Had I been a better knight... But... I won't let anyone get hurt again. You think you're good enough to face my sword?  Considering that, again, I was juggling you at level 1 for shits and giggles, not at all.  Are you going to start saying that Art's a spy now?Well, he already admitted that he tried to rob me, got his rear end kicked, his lackey dropped me off an airship, and he intends to kill me, yes, clearly I’m working for him.     Huh, so he does. In retrospect, leaving those things sitting on the ground in random spots was a bad move.  Wha...?   Ugh...!   Without that, Venti will...!       Well, it’s not like he can do anything dangerous with that spell, it can’t summon anything as strong as a Guardian, and I can slaughter anything weaker.  Meh, it’s a dragon. Big deal.   This is new.   No Sechs Soldier, you are the demons. And then Sechs Soldier was a dragon.  Getting tired of that laugh. Gonna punch him so much.   Oh no, I am so terrified. What was that...? A person and a dragon... And I thought only the Earthmates could use Omni Gate...! There's no time to waste! Blossom! Wh-what is it? Move somewhere safe with Doug!! O-okay... Granny Blossom...hold on to me...?! What are you saying with all those injuries?! Just listen to me! This is the least...that I can do... Doug......Art. Forte. Sorry...I'll have to leave the rest to you. Don't worry. We can handle it. You can count on us. I’m going to start beating you now. I don’t know when I’ll stop.    I don’t know if I’m going to stop. How horrifying... Art, this monster is dangerous.Yeah, you’re right. You should probably go hide somewhere and let the competent fighter handle this. I'll fight too. Then we fight together. I won't let him do anything to you or this town. That's right. We definitely can't let him go! Let's concentrate on taking him down!The text dump tells me that Forte would toss me a weapon here if I didn’t have any. That’s handy.      This is pretty much how the whole fight goes.  Earthmates: punching monsters until they turn into humans since 2012.   When did you get back here Doug? How did you get back here? Your entrails are still spilling out. He ran away....Did he?No, I’m loving lying to you Doug. ...I'm sorry, Art. Huh? Seems like I've been deceived all this time... Blaming Ventuswill for what happened to my family... And dragging you into it, too...Yeah Doug, you’re a loving moron, we know. Doug…...Tsk! ...The hell's wrong with me?!You’re a loving moron, we established this. ...I... Doug... ...Art, let's go see Ventuswill. Huh...? They've stolen the Rune Spheres, right? Then...ngh...! Doug?! Are you okay?! I'm fine... But we have to...go see her... And...I want to apologize. ...All right. But before we do, get some rest....! But... I'm sure Venti's not mad at you. Although... seeing you in this condition would probably upset her. I'll take Doug to the clinic. Blossom... Y'know, I... I'll scold you all you want later. It's much more important to let your body rest right now. Come on. Let's go....I'm sorry. Art. I'll go check the town first. I think Lady Ventuswill would scold me if I didn't....Okay. And... I must report to Mr. Volkanon about Doug... We must find out what the Sechs Empire is up to.Yes, because Volkanon is clearly in charge here. But... I think the most important thing is that... ...despite what he thought, he still tried to save this town. Forte… I'm going now. Please take care of Lady Ventuswill. I should hurry back to Venti's place! Do I...look all right to you? If so...you must have a problem...with your eyes... At least you have enough energy to say that. Haha... I heard a lot of commotion outside... What's going on? Well... A soldier from the Sechs Empire came to attack the town....What?! But it's okay! We drove him out.We’re gonna need to rebuild the town square though, it’s full of dragon-shaped craters now. I see... ...I'm sorry. Had I been better... No, Venti, you don't understand. You're feeling the way you do... because of them....? What do you mean...? The Sechs... have stolen the Rune Spheres......Hmm... I don't know why they did it...  Rune Spheres have a strong energy in them... Strong enough to restore power to a Native Dragon like me. If they try to abuse that energy... Gehh... Venti?! I'm...all right... Or at least...I wish I were...No poo poo, I’m sure most dying people wish they were alright. You can't move without the Rune Spheres, can you?...Unfortunately, no. If they abuse the power of the Rune Spheres... Who knows what could happen?...Okay. Are you going...? I have to get back the Rune Spheres. But if something happens to you... I'll be all right. You should worry about yourself....Art. You're a strong individual. Thank you......You're freaking me out, Venti. I'm not used to seeing you so amenable... ...Are you being sarcastic? Yes....You... Ahaha. It's a joke. Come on! Let's see that smile of yours!...Hmph... ...Um, Venti? Get better soon, okay? Otherwise, who am I supposed to quarrel with?...I know... Okay. ...I'm going to rest for a while to conserve my energy...I'll try to get back the Rune Spheres as soon as possible. Please. ...I trust you, Art. Leave it to me.

That was the most cartoonishly evil plot dump ever. The only reason I can think of for the soldier just spilling pretty much everything you know to your enemies for no reason whatsoever is that he was really, really sure he could kill everyone after with the rune spheres. Even then that's no reason to out your country's spy just so you can gloat a bit more.

It seems so weird that this single soldier comes in to take on the whole town with only what he thinks is one other person to help, labels himself as boss of someone significant from the intro, dumps all this exposition, doesn't get killed here, and he doesn't even have a real name. If his rank is that important and we're going to be seeing him again, you'd think they'd at least do that much.Truthkeeper posted:

This was supposed to be the end of Doug's spying activity as the Sechs... ahem... "defeated the evil Ventuswill thus avenging his parents and tribe". And we have not even scratched the surface of the Sechs being cartoonishly evil. And my strength of will to avoid making Sechs/Sex puns is probably not going to hold out much longer.

The guy who demanded the orbs without ever specifying what he was asking for, then expected his incompetent minion to effectively threaten somebody. I also kinda wish the soldiers got names, but individual soldiers do get personality traits (like this guy being laughably arrogant), so at least there's that.

The Sechs are pretty up there in "cartoonishly evil". They're on the right track though. Monsters are good at killing stuff but they aren't easy to control. Believe me, I've tried em all (well most of em. I have all of the game's monsters sitting in my barns)

I'm The Bull Goose Prince in This Town That is a problem. Maybe if you hadn’t let that guy who attacked the town run off, you’d have somebody to interrogate.  Oh, well, yeah we could interrogate Doug. But I’m kinda gonna feel bad about putting the hot irons to him after he just got himself stabbed. Ah well, man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. Bring me my thumbscrews! But I think I have enough time to get distracted by yet another holiday. Remember Valentine’s Day last month, where I forgot which gender was supposed to be giving out cookies? Yeah, this time is right. Probably. There are only two choices, right?  I gave one to Xiao Pai and she assumed she was supposed to give it to her mother.  That’s actually a little sad.  There, that’s a normal response.  Or… not?  Amber just isn’t sure what day it is.  Forte is polite. Maybe a little self-pitying.  I’m not sure why she would be angry about being given a cookie, but I like the option to give it to Pico instead.         These two are pretty funny together, and kinda adorable. We chose… wisely. Okay, enough playing around with the womenfolk, I’ve got a dwarf to torture for information.  Art... What are you doing here? I heard about what happened. If it's the Sechs we're dealing with, it's not only a problem for the town.The Sechs Empire previously invaded Norad Kingdom back in RF1. Their plan was stupid and convoluted, ruined by the protagonist of that game being a meddling kid, and then they gave up in favor of just sending a bunch of tanks and soldiers. That plan was ruined by Terrable, which is why he was the best dragon god king prior to this game. Sechs has tanks. Norad has guys with swords. This series would have been over by now if not for Earthmate magic bullshit. That's true... Although that's only half of the reason I've come. Huh? How can I stay calm when a friend's been injured? Dylas was just here too. He left, though. He seemed satisfied after seeing Doug's face....Come on, Granny, they don't need to know that. Doug... Are you all right? Yeah, thankfully... I'm glad to hear that. I'm really sorry, Art. It's my fault... If I hadn't reported in to the Sechs... I shouldn't have blindly believed them.I agree on all points. You are an idiot. There's no need to apologize, Doug. But-- Doug... drat it! Doug… Do you happen to know where the Sechs soldier might have gone? Wow, everybody is shocked that Art is following up on this. Because he totally hasn’t been doing all of the important poo poo around here for three months now. Art?! Are you...! I need to get back the Rune Spheres. Do you realize how dangerous that is?! I can't just leave it like this, though. Those stones have so much power. I can't let them abuse it for their own gain! And...I made a promise. Venti's waiting. I have to deliver them back to her. Then let me go instead. What? Have you forgotten? I'm the prince of this kingdom. Although I asked you to take on my duties... there's a limit to my indulgence, and this is it.Come again? Are you seriously trying to imply that you have any authority here Arthur? I’m Prince loving Art, I decide who lives and who dies! I totally regret that the name box was not long enough for me to name myself loving Art. I should totally do that the next time I play a game that allows names 11 characters or longer. You have to stay in the town. Please. Art! You must report to the king, and discuss the town's options. The fact is, the Sechs have invaded. The town absolutely must be defended. And you need to let the king know...that Ventuswill has collapsed. This is something that only you, a real prince, can accomplish.Yes. The town has options. And the king can do things. A lot of princes have showed up in this series, but I’m half convinced the king has just been drunk since this series began. And Arthur isn’t gonna be protecting poo poo. Forte could protect the town, but she and Dolce are coming with me. I guess that leaves That is... true, but... You're the only one I can trust. Please. I'll take care of the Rune Spheres. And I'll save Venti.You guys can stay here and play tiddlywinks. Just stay out of my way while I’m getting poo poo done. So... I want you to handle things here while I'm gone. Dammit... Will you promise to come back safely? Yes, of course!Anytime I get mortally wounded I’m automagically teleported straight here and Jones does the bare minimum needed to keep me alive and drastically overcharges for it. I’m pretty much always safe. ...All right. I'll support your decision, then.He says as if he had any choice in the matter. Doug, are you okay with this too? If you go south of the Water Ruins, there's a bridge. Once you cross it, you'll find Sercerezo Hill, where's it's always spring. The Sechs have a research facility hidden somewhere in there.At long last, the final seasonal area, sort of (there are technically two wintery areas, with the one we've seen so far really just an offshoot of Autumn Road). I really feel like they really should have introduced all of them in Act 1. Especially since the Spring field is the best one. Okay. That does surprisingly little to narrow it down. Little help? Do you have an exact location? Sorry. I only know it's there. No worries. That's enough, then. Thanks!I’ve done more with less info, I suppose. I’ll just murder every living thing in Sercerezo just to be sure. ...I'm the one who should be thanking you. We'll look after the town.That’s adorable. As long as the level 5 wonder twins here are looking after the town, I’m sure everything will be just fine!

Honestly, trying to use magic against an Earthmate (their plan A in RF1) was the bad plan. Plan B (the army) would have worked if they hadn't just pissed off Terrable. Raguna would have been screwed trying to fight the whole army. But we'll have plenty to say about the empire soon.

They weren't protecting Kardia from the Sechs army in RF1. They didn't show up to fight Fiersome in RF2. RF3s conflicts didn't really prompt military intervention. And they're nowhere to be seen in this game. Nonetheless, Selphia's standing army isn't so much Forte (although she reports to Volkanon, so I guess it would be both of them). This town has a loving mayor god dragon. Who in their right mind would gently caress with this town? "In their right mind" being the key words there...

I mean, they did just take all the rune spheres that were sustaining her. Did they know the whole deal of stuff about her, including that she was no longer being sustained by the guardians? It seems like Doug was aware of this and had him go after the rune spheres when the guardians were gone? Them knowing what the protagonist knew is kinda lynchpin of these affairs between the plan being this being a plan of futile craziness or one crazy enough to work. And it sounds like they failed due to a god dragon earlier when they tried to invade Norad in RF1, so maybe they decided to attempt to deal with all the dragon business before trying to take over the country again.

Well they tried that in RF1 first. Plan A was "Summon random monsters and crap until we can get a dragon god, then bend the dragon to our will", and when that didn't work because Raguna stabbed it 47 times, Plan B was "I dunno, send tanks and soldiers and poo poo". Blind Duke posted:there are occasional soldier NPC's that wander around, but looking at the things they say it's a small comfort I kinda just assume those are kids in costumes who for some reason really like my curry bread when I sell it in the shop. Because if we had actual soldiers around here it wouldn't be up to me to go out and fight everything. Truthkeeper fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Oct 28, 2016 |

I don't know what they tried in the first game, but from the sounds of it they're at least taking a lesson from the Terrable defeat. They've placed a spy who they actively manipulated to be pissed at the dragon into the dragon's town, clearly found out the rune sphere's purpose or at least power before the game even started, and currently they know that controlling the rune spheres gives them at least four transforming super soldiers and removes the dragon threat.

Since I have been and will continue to bring it up a lot, I present: A Brief Summary of Rune Factory 1 Like I said way back when, amnesiac protagonists are the thing in this series. A young man named Raguna, who couldn't remember anything about where he came from, woke up near a farm outside the town of Kardia, somewhere near the border between Norad and Sechs (Selphia is also on the border, and Kardia is visible from the observatory in town, as are the towns from the other games). The farm's owner gave the farm to him to work and live on and he quickly became ingrained with the locals. Kardia is surrounded by caves, usually mostly harmless, except recently monsters have been appearing in the caves, with unconfirmed reports (from the local kid obsessed with spelunking) of strange machines summoning the monsters. Raguna investigated a cave, fought some monsters, wrecked the machines, and found a boss monster at the end of the cave. Boss killed, all problems are solved forever! Rinse and repeat like half a dozen times. Eventually, Raguna figures out the the machines were built by soldiers of the Sechs Empire, who are trying to bind a legendary dragon called Grimoire to their will and use it to attack Norad. Raguna did kill a big badass dragon in one of the dungeons, but it wasn't Grimoire. He also fought and wrecked a single tank that required railroad tracks to operate. The dragon was a more interesting boss. Except! The machines summoning the monsters were actually unrelated to summoning Grimoire! The Sechs were the ones who wiped Raguna's memory and dumped him in Kardia. The monster summoning was just to get Raguna to come in and fight monsters and smash machines, which somehow harvested his Earthmate power. They used that harvested power to summon Grimoire, which turned out to the juvenile form of Terrable. Raguna stabbed it a bunch of times, sending it back to the Forest of Beginnings (it is important to remember that monsters you stab, slash, chop, or beat to death in these games do not actually die) so that plan didn't work out. The Emperor personally showed up and fired the general in charge, but Raguna managed to get her to not commit suicide, and to move to Kardia. Then the emperor remembers that he has an army of tanks, and brings them in. Raguna has the town evacuated and gets ready to fight multiple tanks that don't suck. Then Terrable shows up, full grown and kinda pissed about the whole mind control thing. and he wipes out the entire tank squadron by trapping them in roots and vines. The army is routed, Norad is saved. The ending suggested the king was the one who sent Terrable to save Kardia, which rather suggests that there might not be an army after all and it's a good thing the royal family is in good with at least some of the god dragons.

So what you're saying is that the Norad army consists of several god-dragons. Regular soldiers are considered superfluous.

Sercerezo, the Land of Always Spring This little path a few screens south of Water Ruins has always been here… and always been blocked by trees. Art’s mighty fists have no power over wood. And there’s no room for Volkanon to get a running start to charge through them. Ah well, maybe I could jump off the airship or something to get in.  I'll get rid of those pesky trees. That is the mission to which I've been assigned. Taaahhh! Daaaaaahhhhh! Ooooooone mooooooooore!BUTLER POWER! BUTLER POWER! That’s not actually a joke on my part, that’s a real line he screams in combat.  You should be good to go now....I saw Mr. Volkanon do the same thing you just did. Is that something all butlers are trained for? I am a quick study, and trained very hard through any trials. So it required little effort on my part. ...Well, I wish that were the case, at any rate. In point of fact, Volkanon actually instructed me on how to do it. At any rate, my work is done here. So, I bid you adieu!I kinda wish I hadn’t come here alone, the text dump indicates that several villagers, including Dolce, would make comments here if they were in my party.  You know it’s spring because pink cherry blossoms. Because Japan.  Of course, the very first monsters we run into are palette swaps of the Woolies from way back in the beginning. Shmoolies are a hell of a lot beefier, but equally inept at fighting. A little bit of wandering brings me to a cave.  Could be. No way to really tell for certain.              Huh. Well, that was handy.  Never mind that...let's just move out! ...Venti, hang in there.Yeah, I could go charging into the cave full of enemy soldiers… or I could do literally anything else. I’m gonna go explore.  The mining rocks in the Sercerezo area drop sapphires. They’re sadly pretty useless, unless you desperately need an accessory to protect you from light elemental damage. The new metal for making the next tier of equipment is, unfortunately, in the cave. And the difficulty spike between Acts 1 and 2 is… noticeable. I’m gonna end up spending a long time slogging through the cave to get to a room where ore spawns and then farming that every day until I have enough gold to kit out my party. Or at least myself, the NPCs are effectively immortal anyway.  The land of always spring has a lake of always spring. I now have access to all four seasonal fishing spots, for what that’s worth. Still gonna have trouble winning fishing contests unless I break Dylas’ arms or something.  Also the spring field. It’s twice the size of the summer field, not quite as large as the winter field though. Of the four seasonal fields, this one’s the most useful, since so many crops grow best in spring. The chests had some seeds, to drive home the point.  I planted melons and flowers.  This area here is the central hub of Sercerezo, Daily Road. It has the annoying trait of changing layout every day, so certain parts of Sercerezo are only available on certain days.  East of Daily Road I found a useful hammer skill. It’s more useful with a spear or longsword though, since it involves spinning around to hit things, but still decent with fists.  This area is where I can catch fish in the ground. You know, those elusive ground fish you always hear about? Because that’s totally a thing?  This lonely tree, off at the furthest east edge of the hill, gives me one crystal flower seed per day for the current season. There are four colors of crystal flowers, one for each season, and annoyingly I need to grow them for future requests. But those requests come in order, starting from spring. I’ll have to grow my fall red crystal flower and keep it on hand until I have the requests for spring blue and summer green done.  Back in town, I ply Dolce with sweets.    I was going to invite her adventuring… but this first delve is best handled solo I think.  This is gonna suck. I’m 60 levels past the recommended level, so I can handle it, but it isn’t a pleasant experience. Overleveling in this game is no substitute for being appropriately geared.  And finding an empty treasure chest does not inspire confidence.    Gobble Boxes are stronger palette-swaps of Mimics. I can easily handle any one monster here just by keeping it locked down with my punch combo. It’s groups that I have issues with.     And that’s the gimmick of this dungeon. It’s full of one-way walls, forcing you to go in circles a lot. Also, fun with teleporters.  Clearing this room will open up the passage to the south and spawn a teleporter letting me hit the switch to the right. Also, note the monster gate, all of them are earth elemental in this dungeon. My next tier glove is earth elemental. Guess what obvious mistake I’m going to make.   They really wanted to hammer the one-way thing in.  Also, I found a fake wall. I could have sworn there were a couple of these in the Lava Ruins, but I never found any.  Mediparalyze! One of three status curing spells (along with Mediseal and Medipoison), these are all great to have on hand. But if I travel north, past the barriers lowered by the switches I fought my way to…     I think I would probably dribble you like a basketball.    Yeah, you didn’t see what happened to the last guy who turned into a Sechs Dragon. But there are still craters shaped like him in the Selphia town square if you want to get the idea.   How the hell would turning into a cat motivate you? Have you ever seen a motivated cat?    I admire his courage. Takes a brave man to go up to the boss and say “I want to use the ultimate godlike power we stole to turn into a catboy!”. Brave and stupid.     Huh, so they have keys to open the barriers, bypassing the elaborate teleporters and switch puzzles. That makes sense. And they were stupid enough to leave it open behind them. Although in the time they spent talking, I could have jumped them, beaten them to death, and stolen the keys, so maybe we’re all stupid here.  Ah well. With the barrier sealed, it’s back to elaborate teleporter/switch puzzles for me. Full of deadly things.  Like this ambush. The minotaurs will stomp me in melee while the Little Mages fireball me from a distance.  Or this lovely room full of poison gas.  And this lovely room full of exploding boxes (hitting any one of them starts a chain reaction that makes them all blow).  And this creepy talking fairy (which is clearly Art hallucinating, because if monsters can talk, than enslaving them like I do would be horrible). I could break her out and she’ll join me as just another fairy monster living in my barns. As she never talks again after that, I think it lends credence to my hallucination theory.  This is a lovely and very special pond that I will explain the details of later. I hosed up and made it harder to get to by hitting a switch. That’ll come back to bite me later.  And then I died and was gangraped by demons for all eternity.  Wait, no, the other thing. Woke up in the clinic, yeah, that’s it.  Conveniently, it’s the Fall Harvest Festival. I carry turnips in my pants for this reason. No other reasons.     I thought the appeals round was stupid the first time I played through this, but it grew on me. It makes an otherwise dull contest more fun.   Now you see, Leon is a massive troll, and the trick here is to troll him back. I thought this was the right answer, but it seems I was supposed to ask for a kiss. I only got the neutral response.    Wait, does sending out my slaves count? I think it does.    Just don’t tell her it’s genetically modified. Of course. So how did I do?    I’m kinda the only professional farmer in this town, they probably shouldn’t let me compete.  My reward, among various unimpressive items, contained this gaudy shirt. It’s the next tier of armor, and therefore pretty useful. But because I go a little nuts with my crafting and upgrading, it’s actually about the same as my current armor. I’ll make my own Sparkling Shirt that’s better than this one, and give this one to one of the ladies. Hey, wait… wasn’t there an event going on? Kinda lost track of that.  Welp. Walked in on Dylas just making GBS threads on the floor like an animal.  And Doug. Horses and dwarves, filthy beasts the lot of them.  How many rounds of arm wrestling have they gone through in my absence? Hahh! I win! That was a fluke! Oh really? Do it again! This time I won't lose! You're on!I think we might need to hold an intervention. Later, I have smithing to do.  I made a full set of golden tools. For some reason, gold makes them more effective, and not heavy and dull. Because JRPG. I also made golden shirts.  And a pair of gloves that incorporate gold somewhere. But no iron, no matter what that description says.  Snow is upon us! Why did we ever decide to live in a place with seasonal weather, and not a place where it’s spring or summer all the time ten minutes down the road?  Yeah, like I said, that’s gonna be a bit annoying to wait on. NEXT TIME: The astounding conclusion to the Doug/Dylas Arm Wrestling Championship, the Courtship of Miss Dolce, and yet another holiday based around turnips.

Glazius posted:I do like that you got owned in this dungeon and your immediate reaction is "well, back to country life again". It demonstrates one of the weird side of effects of how the game is structured. During this dungeon and the dungeon after it you chase after those Sechs soldiers. On my playthru I attempted this section undergeared and underleveled, so I took a break from adventuring to work on my farm and grind up my forging/crafting. Then a season later, I went back and resumed the dungeon, arriving at a scene where the soldier's I had been chasing a month ago "just" arrived at the end of the dungeon. It's probably unavoidable and I prefer this to them locking you in to a dungeon or having any sort of time limit but it can be kind of jarring sometimes.

I used Green as my first monster companion. Green uses wind element attacks, most of which home in on other monsters, and is a boss in Sharence maze and dungeon flowers. I don't remember if she can group heal. The element fairies are rare encounters outside of the spoilers above and the free one we just passed. Each one of 4 (Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow) has a single room in the game where they sometimes can spawn. Each one uses attacks of a single element(Fire, wind, water, and Earth respectively), making them useful AoE casters until you run into monsters that absorb their particular element.

Born to be King, We’re the Princes of the Creepy Weirdos Hey, you know what we haven’t looked at in a really long time? The skill list!        Getting those weapon and magic skills pumped up, even the weapons I’ve been neglecting. Having most of the skills (I’m missing a couple Resist (Status) skills), this list is pretty loving long. We covered most of these already, but let’s look at the new ones. Status resistances are the main new addition. There’s one for each status (poison, sealed, paralyzed, sleep, and fatigue), as well as instant death. Most of those are self explanatory. Seals are this game’s version of the more standard silence. Paralyze prevents you from running. Fatigue makes you spend more RP to act. Any resist skill gains experience from either hit with that status or inflicting it on something. I had sleep attacks built into my weapons for a good portion of the game (from the thorns Ambrosia drops), hence having a fair amount of resistance built up. Very few monsters use fatigue attacks (and I don’t believe there’s any point to inflicting it on them, but a few upgrades make it possible) and instant death won’t pop up until the endgame. They all increase INT and VIT as well. The four crafting skills, besides their obvious uses, also increase stats. Cooking increases RP and VIT, Forging and Chemistry increase RP, INT, and VIT, and Crafting increases RP and INT. Searching is your ability to find treasure. Having a higher search score increases the probability of better items from chests. It’s increased by finding hidden treasure, and increases RP and INT. Bathing… does nothing. Like Walking, Sleeping, and Eating, this is just a skill to give free stat bonuses (HP, RP, and vitality) for bathing every day. Taming is the monster taming and training skill. In my experience, it acts as a cap on the total number of monsters you can have, and it increases the attack and defense of your monsters, and raises INT. Bartering is the skill for operating the shop. As it increases, more options become available for trying to push items. It takes a lot of experience in sales to know that if you offer a discount to a customer, they’re more likely to buy! It also increases INT. With that covered, I think it’s time to connect with the people of the village a little. Gonna take it easy and hang around town for a few days.  Okay, that’s a weird thing to point out to yourself Art. Where are you going with this?  Those are both questionable choices and I see no good coming of this. But sure, go ahead and stare at your potential girlfriend’s strange ghost friend/stalker.   ...Fresh. Ah, wait! I didn't mean anything by it, I swear!You chose… poorly. But if he instead stares at Dolce…  Well, that’s... very slightly better? I think the implication here is that creepily staring at women is best avoided in general. Anyway, what brings all the lovely ladies of the town together this afternoon? (Also please note Dylas and Doug are still passed out over in the corner)  I ordered Fried Udon. Sounds good. Would you like to try some? Oh, may I? Thank you, Forte. Mmmm... Um...?!That’s… not a standard reaction to somebody thanking you for letting them try your food. I think the implication here is that Margaret is violating somebody’s personal space again.  It's just the two of you? That's no fair! Clorica, say ahhh. Oh, Xiao Pai! Sure. Ahhh... ♪ Dolly, Dolly! Your turn! Say ahhhh! ♪Very few people follow Pico’s lead and call Dolce Dolly. Amber does it sometimes, and I think Nancy does a couple times. Dolce doesn’t seem the type to approve of childish things like nicknames (although you get to give a nickname to any girl when you start dating them. More on that… eventually, the RNG did not approve of our choice of romantic target). I, uh... I'm good, thanks! Ahhh... ♪ A-Ahh... Is it good?...Mm. It is.Right about now, Art probably wishes somebody would offer him something, he’s been creepily watching the whole table for several minutes now.  "Rrrrrgggg... I've never done that whole open-up-and-say-ahh thing before! And I waaaaaaannaaaaaa!!" It's your turn, Forte! Ah...Ah...ahhh...ah...ahh. Ah, aaahhh...Tonight, the part of Forte will be played by Count von Count. “One sword, ah hah hah! Two swords, ah hah hah!” C'mon, Forte. Ahhh! ♪ Are you gonna do the trick with the airplane next? Absolutely delicious, don't you think, Forte? This is so humiliating...This scene… was completely pointless. And I like that. I like that these characters interact with each other on their own with no need for Art to instigate things. I said early on that one of the things I like about this game is the amount of life they gave the characters, and this is a great example. As long as we’re here, Dolce could probably use some dessert.  Get used to it sweetiebritches, I bought two dozen of them from Porky. I should have made it myself, since you get extra points for handmade gifts, but I’m lazy sometimes. When romancing Dolce, for best results you need to reach her emotionally. The stuff she likes best seems to all relate to her childhood. Flans and cakes and pies she remembers her mother making for her and Pico, and moondrop flowers which aren’t a favorite gift, but she likes them well enough, and they get a specific dialogue response. Otherwise, any hot beverage, any medicine, and any kind of cloth or string (because she likes to sew) are all good gift choices. I believe you can get a positive response confessing your love to a girl with a romance score of 6 hearts or higher (on a scale of ten hearts, although the meter goes up to 100 if you’re crazy dedicated). Dolce… held out longer than that.        Poor Art. This is not the last time he’s gonna get shot down. And life continued on like this for a few days. Then I remembered that I left a pair of idiots in the restaurant.   And then it was called a draw, I guess, because the event ends there.  The Telecommunicator is used to board the airship. The purchasable one can be put anywhere. I’m still lazy, so I’m putting this one in my room so I don’t have to walk two screens to get to the main one in town.  This place is getting a little crowded.  Turnip Flurry. Turnip Festival. Bean Toss. Considering how much people around here love throwing poo poo at each other, we should really just start a baseball league.       Turnips and Failed Dishes spawn randomly on the ground. Throw Failed Dishes to stun (it’s too short to be worth the effort), white turnips for points, gold turnips for more points. It’s easier than the other contests based on throwing things. So how did we do?    I probably shouldn’t be allowed to compete anymore. I’m like *insert skilled sportsball player here* playing in the kiddy leagues.   This makes little sense. Another dialogue says she makes Pico’s clothes herself (sort of). Although I agree Pico’s outfit is kind of silly looking, but we already know Art likes it, for some reason.  No luck this time either (that’s four failed attempts so far).  Oh, hey. There's a bird's nest above my door.That’s… not very unusual and an odd thing to take note of.     See, that’s what I was talking about! Plot hole, plot hole! Okay, if that’s the biggest plot hole I can complain about, there’s nothing worth complaining about here. The “Ventuswill can’t leave Selphia except for the times when she leaves Selphia” thing is worse, and I’ve given up on that one.  Number 5, still rejected. How many days in a row can you confess your undying love before you should be handed a restraining order?  Back at the castle, Act 2 has brought a big quality of life change to the Order board. So what’s up elsewhere? Say, the local general store? Hello, Art. Did you notice? Notice what? The bird's nest above your door. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, so you did. I'm thinking that may just be Twinkle's nest. "Twinkle?" Yes. That was the name of a bird who lived in this town a long, long time ago. It liked anything that twinkled, you know. And if it could, it would make off with it. It was such a little scoundrel. Do you think it's come back? I'm not sure.  Damned ancient bird. Aah. So maybe this is that bird's grand-chick, then. It just may be. But in any case, you be careful, okay? Don't leave anything out where Twinkle might get it.Did we not just finish establishing that it probably isn’t the same bird? Although we should probably get rid of it anyway. I’ll go shoot fireballs at my front door until one mysteriously “misses”.  Ten.  These people sure do love their silly and pointless contests. It’s almost like I’m really playing Animal Crossing! And they don’t get much sillier or more pointless than the Quiz Contest. This one is great.  Oh dear, now what? Huh? Whew. It seems that was close. What's wrong? There was a bird, earlier. It liked to dive at my head. So I escaped inside here. I was rather scared.And so you wanted me to avoid opening the door and risking it coming in… so you told me after I had already opened the door and come in? A bird? Yes. I don't think I did anything to make it want to dive at me. Maybe it was after your hairpin. My hairpin? I heard it likes glittery things. So maybe it liked your hairpin and tried to take it. Ah. I see. It seems I'll have to walk outside with my hands on my head, then. We can’t have wildlife menacing our townsfolk!... Except for when I throw birds at them, that’s hilarious.  I grew and cut down a twinkle tree (presumably unrelated to the bird of the same name, but the coincidence amuses me). Twinkle trees can drop this rather powerful upgrade item.  It increases the range of your weapon, giving my gloves almost as much range as a short sword. It’s possible to boost that up to hitting across the entire screen, but there are limits to what I’m willing to do… I might do it later.  I got lucky on another trip to Sercerezo, and the western path from Daily Road was open, taking me to this little spring. This isn’t Zelda, so I didn’t throw a weapon in, that would be stupid. I threw a giant melon in.   It gave me a hat. A rather decent little hat for this point in the game, but it could be better. How? Wait. Your patience will be rewarded. (This can be done once per day at each of four fountains, but this one is only available one day per week, annoyingly).  Thirteen.  Oh no, what calamity has the bird wrought this time? They're not here. Or here... Or even here! I can't find my glasses anywhere!Please don’t do the “they’re on your face gag”… why do I even bother asking? Um, what are you doing? O-oh! Art.  You mean the ones you're wearing?Yeah, everybody saw that one coming. No, no, a different pair. One that is a touch more stylish.If they’re more stylish why not wear them? (Asks the man with three pairs of identical glasses and no clue what makes any given pair stylish) Oh. Then no, I haven't. I see. I believe that bird must have taken them.TWINKLE YOU MANIAC! A bird? Yes. I noticed an unfamiliar bird on my windowsill earlier. I thought to feed it some crumbs, so I opened the window... And it took your glasses. Yes. I was hoping they might have been dropped somewhere around here.But it looks like that isn't the case. This is all my own fault for being so careless. It really is. Let’s leave Arthur to his misery.  Because it’s QUIZ TIME!   I wonder how much you have to pay Volkanon to get him to declare you the favorite to win. Or maybe there’s a betting pool going on and he actually is keeping track of the odds. In which case I totally need to get in on that.  No good could possibly come from this, but at least it’s entertaining.      I dunno, I’ve played just enough Tides to know that there’s nothing good overseas.   Why the hell are we all standing outside in the dead of winter listening to Porcoline make bad jokes?       Who did Porcoline bribe to take over this contest again?      Of course it is.    Really Lumie? You’d think the World’s Greatest Detective would notice that everybody else disagrees with her.      The contest keeps score by dropping produce on the ground. Art is Apples, Illuminata is Oranges, Amber is Grapes, and Leon is Mushrooms. Sadly, they despawn when the contest ends.  I loving hope not.   Well said Art, well said.  This is one of the little things that makes this contest fun: cheating like a motherfucker. You can push people out of the square to make them lose the point. It’s tricky, but a good way to get ahead.  I didn’t catch the question on this one, but clearly everybody was right.  This is something we’re expected to know?  Boo! Trick question, I call foul!  Given what we’ve seen of Xiao Pai’s personality, it wouldn’t surprise me if 100 people have hit on her and she just assumed they wanted her to pass it along to her mother.    Volkanon, you uh… seem to have completely missed answering the question. Are you sure you’re a butler and not a politician?  Yeah I know, I’ve been meaning to tell him to shut up all day.  Oh boy. COMMERICALS!       We really need to have a balcony where Blossom and Dolce can sit and heckle through this whole thing.  That infers that money went into some part of this event. What, did we need sponsors to buy the paint to make the O and X on the ground?   Sorry, but I have no intention of going along with a joke made in such poor taste.   Kinda gives me an unfair advantage, don’t you think?   Not that I need to cheat to stay ahead, but it gives me something to do.   No idea. I’m sure whoever it was is as brilliant and dashing as he is handsome and strong.     Nah, I just lose some PP. No big deal, but you don’t actually get to go in either, so there’s no point.     People, just go with it. You know we aren’t going to understand what the hell he’s talking about anyway.       What are final rounds that make entire games completely pointless?     My need for huge numbers demands MORE PORCOINS!   SILENCE! I am your prince, and I demand more Porcoins!    This one… actually does come up in a conversation with Jones and/or Nancy, I believe.  There ain’t enough room for all of us on this square… but I didn’t manage to push anybody out in time.       Yes! I’m the greatest! Alright, that one’s done, no more silly contests for a while!  gently caress! Next time: Zen and the Art of Catching Squid, Wooing Wintry Women for Dummies, Twinkle Twinkle Little Dwarf

It really seems like confessing to the same person more than once per day has no effect. If a confession is rejected, you'll have to try again on the next day.

Dr. Fetus posted:It really seems like confessing to the same person more than once per day has no effect. If a confession is rejected, you'll have to try again on the next day. Correct. All those confessions were different days.

Good lord, this town is going nuts with festivals. No wonder they need so many sponsors!

One year I just kinda gave up and canceled every festival I could so I could focus better on both item farming and agricultural farming. On one hand I kinda felt like a jerk but on the other hand I was kinda strong armed into the farm princess job and it's not like they had a background check or anything. Honestly, fake royal or no, the ability to just kinda go 'gently caress the holidays' just makes me feel drunk with power and I'm a natural curmudgeon.
