Let's Play the BEST GAME EVER!!! (FFIX)

[Pumpkin]

So Garnet and Steiner disembark in Alexandria and meet some old friends
(SPOILER)

Heading back inside, we strike up a conversation. Or at least try to amidst the fussing from Steiner.

After being fussed at, Steiner backs off and the cable car arrives.

Marcus and Cinna say their goodbyes because one is heading to Lindblum and the other...

Exactly. But why, you might ask. Well, Garnet had the same question

Well, Marcus can answer that for himself.

Brother = Blank

Or at least he would be if he wasn't hanging around the station eating cake. Garnet decides she wants in on this cure the petrification plan, but Marcus is not as enthused about the idea.

Garnet explains how she drugged him and ditched him, as a lady does.

And then she blames him

But before we can get in to all dat drama, something happens with the cable car!

How rude. They prefer to be called alternate saints.

Hearing this, our ensemble heads outside.

Oh look, it's our old friend Black Waltz #3!

Unfortunately we are lured in to another boss fight with no answers from the damaged Black Waltz.

This fight can be pretty annoying, especially with the steal rate but he doesn't have anything you can't get soon enough anyway so don't beat yourself up over stealing everything with this one.

So we defeat the Black Waltz once and for all

Marcus, full of tact, decides this is the time to bring it up. Steiner is like WHO COULD HAVE DONE THAT

Honestly I don't think he was doing it for her benefit, I think he's that oblivious and blindly loyal.

That'll stop her for sure. Nothing wrong with this plan!

Anyways, we head back on the cable car. I keep forgetting what it's called and had to scroll up to remember

"What, you mean the mass drugging?"

Or that

Marcus knows what she's getting at with this

Basically, yes.

Before we head to Treno though, we make a quick stop by Dali!

It has been a whole disc

There's not much new going on. The farm lady fusses about the new factory and the lack of farming and Garnet vows to help her out.

We also run in to another friendly monster, yay!

Also take your time getting around here, Steiner and Garnet will probably be a good bit lower in levels than Zidane and co. if you did stop and grind. So get some exp on your way around and learn some abilities.

So we finally arrive in Treno, the City of Nobles

I JUST SAID THAT

While those two fuss, because Steiner can't help but fuss, Garnet takes off on her own.

And while Steiner freaks out about that, Marcus takes off too, leaving poor Ol' Rusty all alone.

There's actually a good bit of side things to do here. By putting 10 gil in the fountain many times you get another Zodiac!

D'aww

Afterwards you get this lovely ATE where Garnet is robbed

She loses 1000 gil but if you follow the ATE's properly, you'll get your money's worth.

..............

...................................................

And there you have it! This won't be the last we see of this dastardly dude.

We also meet some interesting characters

How... fun and not depressing

And these two kids who are fussing about the nobles taking their land and detailing their plan to get rich and become nobles themselves and rule the town

Kids these days, amirite?

We also get another letter from Stilitzkin

Hmm...

While in Treno, it's a good time to make a shopping list because they have a good weapon shop and synthesis shop if you have the cash monie

We eventually find Garnet in the auction house. Steiner yells out how he was worried and she says she doesn't know how she's supposed to find the supersoft with him running around shouting like that.

Garnet is very sassy toward Steiner

Brutal.

We also got to see Kuja in an earlier ATE, watching her from the auction house balcony...

Speaking of auction house, you can buy some super great items here. You'll probably have to come back later when you've built up more cash but since I used the max monies cheat I could afford some goodies right off the bat.

I got some good equipment and these special items:

Earlier FF references~

We also find another Zodiac thing in Treno

Overcompensating much, Taurus?

This is also the city where you can trade them in for prizes but Imma hang on to them for now.

At this point you can leave the city, follow the forest outside of town, and find another special place before going on with the game.

We find another coin there

And some special info...

And I will leave you to ponder that while you wait for the next update~

Will they find the supersoft? Will Garnet convince her mom to not be a power crazy warmonger? Will Steiner stop getting in to a tiff with everyone? Find out next time!
