Lloyd. You really need to tell people how you know Cecile. Like. Before Randy meets her. Sure, bringing up your dead brother means some uncomfortable conversations, but is it more uncomfortable than sreing your new coworker hit on your dead brother’s fiancee in front if you?
*Sigh* [Footnote 1]. For pity’s sake. Could the game go for five minutes without randomly throwing me into a situation we can’t handle just to prove the SSS’ incompetence? Like. At some point it’s just hostile narration if your protagonists literally never had an opportunity to do anything because random garbage blindsided them.
But on the Bright side (heh. Got ’em), Estelle and Joshua! Yay! And they don’t hate us! Yay! I am glad to see they’re as op as they should be since mine would outlevel the party by a solid 120.
Oh look. Another casino quest. Sounds of an anguished soul [Footnote 2].
Would you look at that. I hadn’t thought about it before with the Revache goons, since the tactic made sense, but Maison Imelda is the second time the party split their forces to accomplish a goal. I thought you couldn’t to do that, hmm? I thought that’s why you had to take a child into a monster den, hmm? Care to explain Lloyd ‘Ace Detective’ Bannings?
Though upon further review (as in typing this up for the post further), I guess such a boneheaded move in the prologue serves well to show the general incompetence of the SSS, so it’s pieces of the story rendered through gameplay. If I think about it that way, I can at least accept it.
‘[…] Each district has Sunday School on different days.’
…
Hate to break it to you, but I don’t think that’s how Sunday School works.
Oh, cool. Dollmaker’s. Whatev– AH.
Ok. And you didn’t take the child (though I know she’s certainly not a noncombatant) monster hunting this time. I’ll give you that one, Lloyd.
Also upon further review, think a lot of my irritation with the Crossbell games going in is more thematic than actual presentation. I have been enjoying the game so far and it has, admittedly, done a good job of capturing a lot of the same magic of Sky, if in a different way. Still not sold on the general politics of the arc and I don’t think I’ll ever like Crossbell as a city, but… We’ll see.
Footnote 1: This time I fixed your formatting. Next time it’s getting rendered as if you said the word ‘sigh’ with massive emphasis — the Twisted Jerk.
Footnote 2: I warned you… — the Twisted Jerk.
