#gah ive been thinking abt this chapter since i played it

[umbry2000]

// crestoria chapter 10 spoilers

Thought I'd just put stuff under the cut since I can. This ain't an analysis, it's just *cue unfiltered stream of thoughts*

Probably unintelligible too :P

Also minor Lloyd side story spoilers. (And Milla's I guess? Not really though.)

TREES???!!! (This is all I am going to talk about it is all that has been on my mind Ahhhhhh)

I was not expecting crestoria to go this direction! Like I thought this chapter would be finding out more about kasque and then I just got lore dropped on my head. Which I love thank you I love lore.

I did think it was strange that Lloyd's side story was so disconnected from the main plot despite being, you know, a side story. All previous side stories either involved characters who had played some kind of role in the main story already, or dealt with vision orbs. Lloyd's side story did neither, but I just thought they wanted to do something a little more self-contained. DIDN'T EXPECT THEM TO BRING IT BACK LIKE THIS.

TREES.

RIP Earhart tree. I'm wondering if the version of Crestoria Colette I wrote would be able to feel that happen. Oh no she'd be sad ;-; and also in pain. Ahhhh (Pls spare pasca me and marsh will cry)

Speaking of Lloyd and co weren't they near the grassvalley tree? They were, right? Or was I mixing it up with the Earhart/unnamed tree? I think it's the grassvalley tree so I expect Lloyd and co will get involved at some point. Either way they should get involved because trees???!!! Which means voice acting no????

Also I find it funny that I got the thing about the fog and humans not knowing about the trees and their location correct (unless that was mentioned in the side story and I forgot) but got everything else wrong (I think). So everything I wrote is effectively an AU now esp if Lloyd and co get involved with the main story. Ah, well, that's the problem of writing stuff that deals with future things when the story's not complete. Will be fun to look back on haha and see how much I got right. But maybe I can write new stuff now...

Also! Colette is able to traverse the fog around the Great Trees so does that mean she's made from the opposite mana that the fog is made of? Like Milla infusing Kanata and co with that opposite mana made them stop seeing the fog right? So I really think it's possible!

Ah I really liked the glimpse at Kasque and Milla's past and their dynamic as close friends who really care about each other. Also thinking about what could have possibly happened 90 years ago... and now, even, cos I don't think kasque was hellbent on ending the world a few chapters ago. Also noting that Kasque and Milla are once again artificial creations this game really loves those. And they were even born for a singular purpose! And without that purpose, I assume Milla was lost for a bit, only to find a new purpose of killing incarnations and sank herself full on into that goal. Making the same mistake as before, but she didn't know any better. I hope her side story has helped her out :)

Really loved the new characters too :) Orwin's brother is hilarious lol. And I think I know where the ending of part 1 is going so oof :) Oof aegis. Hope it doesn't come to that.

I think that's all for now! Thanks for reading my inane wordspam. Just wanted to ramble about trees. And trees. And even more about trees -
