anyway - have progressed a bit further. i liked revisiting the black mage village. and now i have full control over my party, which is cool, but man i feel sad that freya is underleveled. i also just find steiner boring even though he's incredibly effective, and i also feel the urge to level everyone up. but this new area i'm reaching on the ship - the quicksand surrounding kuja's stronghold - has some tough random encounters. freya dying at <lv 20 is pretty painful when zidane has broken 30!

i've been dragging dagger around with me as my white mage because based beatrix is missing, alas. maybe it's boring to have an OP character but i love her (and in general love controlling major rival characters like in chrono trigger). i guess she's probably not really a permanent party member since we never got to name her, and she's prime death material, but getting to play her a bit was great. wonder if she'll wind up against us again at some point and we'll have to put her down, or if kuja will kill her to prove himself or something.

in the meantime maybe i should swap eiko in for dagger. she's around the same level but maybe could learn some more abilities.

i'm accumulating accessories faster than i can teach characters their abilities! ahh!

random note: zidane's little fetchquest that turns cid into a frog is silly and feels really dumb with little "gameplay" element, but in hindsight i appreciate the world-building - just wish that there weren't the "ask about potion/ask about other stuff" dichotomy, as it slowed me down in order to hear the flavor text. fav part of this was easily the burmecian couple - they're fantastic.
