Let's Play Radiant Historia

[Pumpkin]

Small update today. Busy. Also, very likely I won't be updating this weekend, I apologize.

Anyways I leave my room and bump in to someone

Attachment 56180

Pretty lady

She fusses at me about being reckless and stuff. Women always be crampin my style

Attachment 56181

He's also supposed to visit me here soon

But FIRST

THIS GUY

Attachment 56182Attachment 56183

Anyways he gets speared right in the head and Rosch shows up

Attachment 56184

Rosch asks what unit or whatever he is from

Attachment 56185

Yeah, I don't know what that means.

Then he glows and turns to sand

Attachment 56186

That's what I just said

So we go back to the room to discuss this odd event

Attachment 56187

This is a problem

Attachment 56188

From what I understand, in this world
-When someone dies, mana leaves their body
-When someone's mana leaves their body, they die

Attachment 56189Attachment 56190

Then from this they talk about how the desertification started after the fall of an empire or something, but they wonder which set of which

MANY QUESTIONS

Attachment 56191Attachment 56192

Suspicious probably

Then the big armor guy asks me to go work for him because BFFs and stuff

Attachment 56193Attachment 56194

So I have a decision to make! Then the book glows again (I'm calling it book now because the actual name is too long to type out. I'm too lazy)

Attachment 56195

No, really?

Attachment 56196

Stocke is all appalled

Attachment 56197

So I go see the book and find the kids again. Stocke is all like raaahhhajsanasjhsjakdhuwio [paraphrase]

Attachment 56198Attachment 56199

Yes, you've explained

Attachment 56200Attachment 56201

This is a conversation that goes on at length so I've tried to pick the screens that sum it up best.

Also, nodes. Nodes are apparently the points in time that I can change things

So Stocke realizes this book wasn't created for himself and asks what happens if he doesn't go through the "true" history or whatever they call it that the kids want him to do

Attachment 56202

Yeah no pressure

Attachment 56203

Oh okay

So now I am super nervous about this decision. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

What will I do? Find out next time

[Fynn]

I told you! Don't be nervous

Go with what feels right. I'd go with Rosch now, if I were you. Bros before hos- or Heiss, in this case.

[Pumpkin]

Heiss is a ho tho let's face it

[Fynn]

You got a point thar

[Pumpkin]

Alrighty guys, taking a break over the weekend. I've had a hectic week and I have a full weekend, but I should be able to update again on Monday

[Pumpkin]

So big decision time

Attachment 56321Attachment 56322

Let's try this why don't we. Rosch is super happy and gets a little musical note above his head

So something is happening in town

Attachment 56323Attachment 56324Attachment 56325

Apparently commoners are not allowed here unless Hugo is speaking for Noah

Attachment 56326Attachment 56327

I don't know what you're talking about

Attachment 56328

Still nothing

He then elaborates by saying the people will be the snow that purifies Granorg, the place with the evil queen

Attachment 56329

Well that escalated quickly


This is

all seeming

very suspicious


So Rosch and a new guy go and chat

Attachment 56330

Then Rosch asks how all of this will work with dude I used to work for. Then new guy (Raul) says things

Attachment 56331

Like those things

Then Rosch asks if other dude will take this lying down and Raul suspects he will find some way to get even

I find Raul to be an interesting man

Attachment 56332

This is all very suspicious. It reminds me of some of the propaganda I've seen. Taking a message out of context, twisting it to fit your own views, using it for hate.

Not saying the Queen isn't a cow because she is, but the situation escalated rather quickly.

Anyways, onwards

Attachment 56333

Don't make me feel bad Marco

Attachment 56334Attachment 56335

Okay

[Pumpkin]

Attachment 56343

They are in the mine because they want the sand fortress or something that we just won

Attachment 56344

War is so complicated

Also, new enthusiastic fellow

Attachment 56345

Yes. Also, Rosch is totally worried about his soldiers being completely new to this whole war business and being sent out

Attachment 56346

So I have to be in the vanguard which I don't know what that is but I have a feeling I have no choice in the matter

So after accidentally getting lost, I head to the mine

Attachment 56347Attachment 56348

I don't really... know who he is. But they make him seem like a big deal

Also, apparently we're kind of stuck in the mine

Attachment 56349

Tricky tricky

Attachment 56350

So now I have the option of sending for a scout or ambushing them here. I pick send for a scout and the children show up again.


PERSONAL SPACE GUYS I NEED SOME ME TIME

Attachment 56351Attachment 56352Attachment 56353

This is of course called the Black Chronicle because they didn't want to try something different like "The Grey Chronicle" or "The Multicoloured Chronicle" or "Jerry"

And of course the evil person gets the Black one.

racist

So then Stocke asks about if this situation is caused by that situation

0137.png0138.png0139.png

They also said I need attention to detail, so this is going to be a long game for me.

So now I assume I'm going to the choice I made between Rosch and other guy?

I guess that's what I'll try next! Stay tuned!

[Skyblade]

Too bad you couldn't get a screenshot of Rosch with the musical note over his head.


Also, Rosch doesn't need to worry about untrained soldiers. Some good old fashioned grinding will fix that!

[Pumpkin]

So I went back in to the past to fix things

0140.pngAttachment 56617

Rosch then acts disappointed and gives me a guilt trip WHICH I REALLY DO NOT APPRECIATE ROSCH I TRIED TO HELP YOU OKAY

Attachment 56618

I really could have used you not having an attitude

So I go see Heiss or whatever his name is and he gives me more work uuugghhhhhhhhrrhrhrhrhredhhd

Attachment 56619Attachment 56620

Stocke makes a comment about how that dude who speaks for Noah must have ordered this and such and such and Heiss kinda agrees but then says that this country is run on faith to Noah so

Attachment 56621

There you go. There certainly is something suspicious about this whole Noah situation

Attachment 56622

Apparently that one is a bigger deal than ours

Attachment 56623

So I am not supposed to kill this Vlad dude (who I already suspect is a vampire) but instead bring him in for interrogation. First stop is the item shop for some info

Attachment 56624Attachment 56625

Kay, thanks

Attachment 56626



So I head to the bar and the robed vampire approaches the bartender and is like "Im here for the stuff"

Attachment 56627

So Stocke decides that the 2 people in the bar can't watch him beat up Vlad so he goes outside to do it because its raining and apparently people here are made of sugar.

Attachment 56628Attachment 56629

I too am suspicious of this whole prophet situation but I am a law abiding citizen who is not a part of any resistance.

Seriously, in case the immigration people are checking this, I, Ashton, am not a part of any rebel group involving any explosives.

Attachment 56630

So Vlad is all like
"Dude do you ever think about things? Like 4 srs?"
And then Stocke is like
"I dun care, not my job bro"
And then Vlad is like
"But yo, maybe you should think for yourself and not what the man wants you to think... man"
And Stocke is like
"pls I just want to get my job done and go home and watch the price is right"

So this of course leads to a fight after which Marco and Raynie or whatever her name was show up.

AFTER

Attachment 56631

Luckily for you it was an easy fight

Attachment 56632

Which connects to the missing explosives from the other timeline. So then Stocke is like "coll can I bring those explosives" and Heiss says he has someone else on that and I have to do ANOTHER mission

Attachment 56633

Oh my gaaahhhhhhhhhwwwwsshhhhhh

He's one of those bosses. Just got out of the hospital? Too bad, get to work. Just gave birth? Shove it in a sweat shop and get over here.

Also, I came to this timeline to do one thing and I'm spending more time in this timeline. THIS IS NOT WHAT I CHOSE GAME

Attachment 56634

*sigh*

I apparently have to meet some dude who will tell me some path to some place to do some thing. You think I'm being vague but so is he. Ridiculously vague. Stocke then asks why he can't go through the sand fortress

Attachment 56635

Apparently it kind of flip flops back and forth between the 2 territories

Attachment 56636

Stocke then says something I would not at all say, which is basically "is learning more about that part of the job, cause if not then eh"

THIS ENTIRE GAME HAS BEEN VERY VAGUE AND CRYPTIC, STOCKE, HOW DO YOU NOT WANT TO LEARN MORE

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Attachment 56637

I agree with Heiss and his evil looking nose.

So next mission is to go to the hills and meet the person. Tune in next time!

[Pumpkin]

Alrighty, so I have my mission and it is time to get it underway!

But first, Rosch decides he isn't finished guilt tripping me yet

Attachment 56841

He then goes on to explain in detail how I am, in fact, pushing my luck

Attachment 56842Attachment 56843Attachment 56844



Attachment 56845

I MADE MY DECISION ROSCH YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT

Speaking of which, have I rescued the stupid explosions guy or whatever I was waiting for in the alternate timeline? CAN I RETURN THERE YET? I am so sick of Rosch being mad at me

Attachment 56846

Sonja arrives to tell Rosch to cool it [paraphrase]

Attachment 56847

So he backs off, I tell him I'm doing my job, and then I'm back with the kids

Attachment 56848

Not originally I didn't

They tell me our paths will eventually cross again

Attachment 56849

All of that was the prologue?!

Attachment 56850

I would like to say I remembered this after his reminder, but I didn't

I also run in to some interesting peoples

Attachment 56851

Okay strange child

Attachment 56852Attachment 56853

I can google that for you if you want

Attachment 56854

Or.. or I could do that

I also meet this little girl

Attachment 56855

It appears I have some sidequests!

[Pumpkin]

So after totally forgetting where I'm going and after recruiting Raynie and Marco, we head to the place and trigger the event thing

Attachment 56856

I'm in the wrong place

So I go to the right place to meet up with the person I am supposed to meet with

Attachment 56857

But he is 3 hours late

Attachment 56858

So Raynie suggests we go find him and Marco suggests we wait for him

I decide to trust Raynie on this one

Attachment 56859

Off we go!

Attachment 56860



Attachment 56861Attachment 56862

I didn't agree to this

Anyways, turns out the enemy's plan was revealed

Attachment 56863Attachment 56864Attachment 56865Attachment 56866

WELL THIS IS THE LAST TIME I TRUST RAYNIE

Now I have to start this over!!

Also, question, the EXP and abilities and stuff I learned in between where they reset me and here, do those carry over to my reset or will I have to do all of those fight again?

And that's it for today! Tune in next time!

[Ayen]

Seems like a fun game.

Raynie is sexy. That's all I came here to say.

[Pumpkin]

Alrighty so I head back in time and decide to wait for the merchant this time

Attachment 57121Attachment 57122

Who decides to show up IMMEDIATELY after I choose to wait. I really feel like we would have spotted him on the way out if we decided to leave

Attachment 57123

Yeah, I'm full of smart moves >.>

Attachment 57124Attachment 57125Attachment 57126Attachment 57127Attachment 57128

Lots of information he decides to give me.

Raynie is then like "But how we gonna get there wit everyting blocked?????"

Attachment 57129

Oh okay

Attachment 57130

Thanks

So I start heading for the sand fortress when

Attachment 57131Attachment 57132

Uh oh, looks like an important event

Attachment 57133

So here is a merchant being attacked by two not merchants

Attachment 57134

So I decide to step in, which of course leads to a fight

[Pumpkin]

I win the fight

Attachment 57138Attachment 57139

So Bram and his friend leave

Attachment 57140Attachment 57141

Oh ho ho I see what happened there

So now on top of story progression, he also teaches me how to use explosives!

Attachment 57142

Yay! Raynie comments on how it isn't really her thing and Marco makes a snarky remark about how she's crappy at it

Attachment 57143

Sounds much better

Attachment 57144

k

Attachment 57145

So I decide to head back to the other timeline because its been a while and I'll forget about it

Attachment 57146

I tell him to wait for the explosives and sure enough

Attachment 57147

Alright

Attachment 57148

I'm still not super familiar with how this works

Attachment 57149

I forgot about the other Chronicle owner person

Anywho, we can now proceed with the plan!

Attachment 57150

Everyone gets all pumped up about the whole snow speech the prophet made

Attachment 57151

So we have our victory chant, we have our explosives, next time, we will head in to the mine!!

Tune in next time!

[Pumpkin]

So we were heading deeper in to the Alma Mine when suddenly

Attachment 57434

It's not, but it did shake a bit. So then we head further in

Attachment 57435Attachment 57436Attachment 57437

She also says some cryptic things about being in a place like this again. She's been making comments like this for a while and its getting pretty annoying

STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THIS IF YOU WON'T TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON

Its like those people on Facebook who write cryptic whiney messages and when you try to ask them about it they say they don't want to talk about it. Don't be that person Raynie

Attachment 57438

She won't tell us

Attachment 57439

This time there actually is a cave in. The characters who are important enough to have a face are on one side and the rest are on the other

Attachment 57440Attachment 57441

So Rosch sends the soldiers to the entrance to regroup with the other soldiers.

Attachment 57442

It comes up that Kiel has worked in a mine before, this mine, and that he knows his way around. Rosch says it just goes to show that you can't judge someone by their appearances.

Kiel is my favorite character so far, btw

Attachment 57443

Which we do!

Attachment 57444Attachment 57445

Rosch tells her to hush because the enemy is like 10 feet away and then we discuss a plan. It is suggested that we set off their explosives and then attack, and Raynie takes a fit saying it'll cause another cave in. She is told that these explosives aren't as strong or whatever.

Attachment 57446

We have a plan!

Attachment 57447

And the plan proceeds!
