Played some more today. Not a lot, but I made it through Dali and the fights with Black Waltz 2 and 3 no problem. Headed to Lindblum, synthed a bunch of Cotton Robes to get me up to about 30,000 gil and then did the festival of the hunt. Zidane managed to steal the needle fork with a whole 14 seconds to spare (even managed to get Freya to win the hunt too, though it finished with Zaghnol very much alive) and now I'm ready to head out of Lindblum. Next stop is the Marsh to grab Quina then I'll spend some time hunting Chocographs before heading to Burmecia.
