Corel Village and the tracks

[Jiro]

I smurfed up and forgot to unequip materia before changing party members so the random battles became a right pain in my ass.

As long as your current party members have materia slots, you can just go into the materia menu and exchange between members... even ones that aren't in your party.

Where at in the materia menu? Because when I go in there and click on an empty slot the other materia aren't there because they're still equipped to the others.

Nah, it's in Exchange or whatever.

I love Mt Corel. The music fits perfectly. I like the aesthetic. I like that the screens immediately prior give you this sense of isolation and wear down your resolve until you find a town, constructed from rubble, clinging together despite the hardship. I think it's very evocative and quite effective storytelling.

The treasure is easy enough. First time you fall, hold left (or right) and mash circle. Second time you fall, hold right (or left) and mash circle. Then the third time, don't fall, because there are only two items to get. I get 'em every time because I'm like regional button mashing champion.
