Lots of screenshots today, but all in all a short update. Tomorrow's update should bring us to the end of this story arc, though.
Chapter X: A World Without Mr. Z
Tzepish's castle is open to us, but it's not time to go there yet. Galuf is pretty torn up about Mr. Z's death, so we'll go to his hometown and pay our last respects
Pretty blasé about that
Somehow I lost the screenshot where Unne tells the Chancellor that Mr. Z was killed in the barrier tower explosion, and I'm not starting a new game just to recover it.
But he's too lazy to execute us yet, so he just asks us to hang around until he gets around to it. We don't.
There's not really anything else of interest in Surgate, so I guess we should probably try to save Cara. Now that we have a submarine, we can access the island the cure for cancer was on!
We delve deep into the cave and find...nothing but a freaking turtle. Unne immediately starts beating the crap out of it.
Protip: Don't study whores
It's Dr. Archie Carr, Terra's foremost expert on everything. Especially turtles.
Back to business...
Archie advises us to take a moment and carefully ponder whether or not we should go through with it. We take this seriously as it deserves.
There. Thought it over.
Since we're sure, Archie gives us the key we'll need to enter the Great Forest of BFE (Butt-F*** Egypt, well beyond the pyramids. No, I don't get it either).
w00t?
But before we go...
There are two more dots on our underwater map. One leads us to a cave that goes absolutely nowhere except for a forest with a chocobo that we have to leave alone, and the other leads to BFE, where everyone seems to be obsessed with fire. Terra's version of Karnak, I guess. I hope it's not prophetic.
BFE is a fun place.
After Yog-Sothoth, I hope we don't have to fight Smokey
This was either an accidental fire, or one done on purpose
And we're going into that
