Hi, I'm shion. Long time listener first time player. Actually I started playing about a week ago and haven't gotten very far so I have started over to do a Let's Play . I hope you enjoy!
So the game starts off with Cecil and the Red Wings returning to Baron after killing some innocent people to get the Water Crystal. There's a few fights in which Cecil badassedly one hit KO's them all. We arrive in Baron.
Cecil arrives feeling remourseful, as he should, and guy who's name I forget warns the king that Cecil is turning against him. So Cecil goes in and tells the king he has some concerns and gets demoted. But he is still apparently expected to do stuff so I get a ring and get sent on my way. Kain talks to Cecil about becoming a Dragoon because of his father or something and tells me to go to bed.
But before I can (killing innocent people is exhausting) I run into big bearded Cid who confirms that the king is indeed a psychopath. BUT HE WASN'T ALWYAS THAT WAY. Or whatever. So I head up to bed and Rosa, Cecil's not girlfriend/girlfriend comes over and expresses her concern. After Cecil finishes acting like a two year old he confesses that he feels remorse for what he did, but he is a Dark Knight and maybe one day he won't feel any remorse at all. She basically tells him it isn't true and she loves him and runs leaves. Cecil also makes a comment about how they can never be together because he is a Dark Knight. I didn't know Dark Knight's had such strict dating rules.
Morning comes and it is time for Kain and Cecil to be on their way to the village of Mist or something.
Let's add some color.
Party: Cecil, Kain
Window color: Mauve
I go to Baron city first, home of the Baron, and buy some junk. The weapon and armor stores are sadly closed, which I imagine isn't good for business. So we head on our way to the Northwest (thank you random townsperson) and into a cave with some chests.
There's really not much to the cave. It's pretty short going. A few fights here, a few there. soon we are told to turn back. I would, mysterious voice, but if I do that I can't progress with the game. I choose to ignore the warnings and soon
Boss Fight: Mist Dragon
It's a dragon. That turns into mist. And when it does I can't attack it and it counters with bad stuffs. So after a short while the dragon is defeated. We leave the cave and head towards the little village.
We arrive in the village and the thingy that the king gave me reacts and some bombs appear and do some weird circular ritual dance (I assume) and the village all turns red, I think to illustrate it being on fire. I don't now, I'm not an expert. Cecil and Kain kinda stand there the whole time before reacting and realizing that, hey, this isn't cool. They hear a little girl crying and go check it out.
The little green haired girl tells us that someone killed her moms dragon, which by extension killed her. Cecil feels bad and tells her he didn't know that would happen. Kain tells of a people who can summon, called summoners (good call, Kain) and after a little mini argument between Kain and Cecil, Cecil tries to get the little girl to come with him. To protect her or something. She shockingly doesn't want to travel with the two men who killed her mother and summons Titan who causes a massive earthquake. Cecil wakes up with the little girl and Kain nowhere in sight. He takes the little girl with him to find some help.
We cross the desert and find a little mini town conveniently placed next to a lake. He brings her straight to the Inn and they go to sleep. For free (yeeeeeaaahhhh). They are awoken, rudely, in the middle of the night, by some guard wanting to kill the little girl. He defeats them and checks on her. She finally tells him her name is Rydia.
And that's all for now. Stay tuned!
