Yeah, the airship crew are really selling "comedic recurring antagonists". Dunno if they'll actually pull that off given how willing this game is to collapse the ground from under people.

It's always great when you meet someone who becomes a UI element.

I suppose really only a dual-screen system could reasonably pull that off though.

I am 100% behind Agnes beating everything to death with as close to her bare hands as possible. For like the entire game.

It's an interesting way of grabbing jobs, beating people up for them. But "asterisk" doesn't sound like anything all that... powerful or notable.

Apparently someone doesn't realize the difference between "Mercenary" and, um..."Foreign Expeditionary Force?" If the Black Blades are a division of the Eternian Army, they aren't mercenaries, they're Eternian forces deployed to back up their Swordbearer allies.

I wouldn't put it past those assholes to be charging the Swordbearers anyway, just to empty the coffers and leave them vulnerable in the aftermath.
