#like sorey and mikleo have that skit abt the king claudin bust where they get in a heated debate over speculative art styles it's adorable

[windor-truffle]

brief graces update! i spent most of this session dualizing so not as much plot progress 😅

so apparently there was ONE person who kinda sorta knew about the warp from the amarcian ruins into wallbridge, but he didn't report about it because it scared him 😂 it seems like the developers threw this in to acknowledge how unlikely it would be for a high-security fortress to have an unknown secret entrance, though I'm not gonna nitpick that detail because they made it clear that Amarcian technology isn't well-known by the average person, much less understood

i made a new discovery! if you talk to these guards here they'll give you items. I believe it was 3 apple gels, 3 panacea bottles, 2 life bottles, AN ELIXIR AND AN HOURGLASS AND AN ALL-DIVIDE WHAT

as I was exploring the Barona Catacombs, specifically the chamber where you fight Lambda, my Eleth mixer produced a Possessed Crystal even though it only has a 3.3% production chance 😅 that just feels scripted

btw what even is the function of this place anyway. Barona has a sanctuary but no established religion that we know of. Since these are catacombs I assume SOMEONE is entombed here but who tf wanted their grave to look like this. i guess the infinity spiral in the center can suggest i hope for life after death but everything else about this just looks SO ominous

i like how this skit ends up foreshadowing Sophie's worries and Asbel's answer in L&L (was this skit added to graces f for that reason? it's too bad it's very hard to grasp what changes were made to the original Graces since only the remaster was localized here). also only tangentially related but i was entertaining a fic premise set on the one year anniversary of King Ferdinand's death where a mourning Richard discusses with Asbel where each of them would prefer to be buried--- Richard quietly asking NOT in these fucking catacombs, he has way too many bad memories of this place for his soul to find any rest here

and uninjured, again. not sus at all.

i don't know why but this skit made me laugh, i guess because most of it was about Cheria and Pascal doing acupuncture? in the middle of a civil war en route to kill a king?? and angry evil Richard wants to stop to talk about vases??? and immediately after Asbel says 'i got nothing' the skit just ends????? hello?????????
