ok Tita's grandpa is definitely on the spectrum. Not sure if they were tried to depict it when they made the game back then, but they ended up getting super close to it

the black orbment shuts down all the orbal power in the city. My guess is that it's some kind of anti-orbment, with the ability to nullify other orbments. It did a similar thing in the climax of Ruan.

orbal power can't work on a device that is designed to counter it, so the professor has a revolutionary idea: invent the combustion engine

I guess it makes sense that since this civilization got a huge technological boost from magic rocks, they skipped some of the fundamental discoveries the real world had

we find a computer, which reveals some lore of the game. nice

Estelle carrying gasoline is a top 10 scariest moment in videogames

calling it now: the mcguffing got stolen while we went out to look for materials. Ah, never mind.

and now everybody is going out except the prof. Perfect.

apparently every single battle in the next area is against a single enemy. which is clearly good game design when the newest party member specializes in AoE (not)

I do a quest involving getting a cat to follow the party so it can identify a cigarette thief. These keep getting more and more creative

then we run into a quest to protect a broken caravan from a horde of evil bunnies, and Tita blinds 4 of them in the first turn with smoke cannon. Nice.

I meet a "boss" that is made of 4 enemies. I used "" because Tita blinds 3 and petrifies 1 in the first turn. this is ridiculous

The normal enemies come in small numbers, but there are a ton of monsters in chests, which usually are represented by large mobs. That's when the carnage starts.

you only need to get around the fact she dies on two hits by anything, I guess

scent +haze is a broken combo. the first quartz give you a ton of magic but makes enemies more likely to see you, the other one gives you more magic and makes you invisible. And the game prioritizes the effect that benefits you

Tita is not really better than the other characters, but she sticks out because this is one of those games (i. e. FF6) where magic > everything, which lends to less gameplay variety, so she sticks out like a sore thumb, being good at something other elemental wizardry. the "something" being physical AoE and status effects. I've had 5 characters so far whose main tactic was spamming aerial or white gehenna. Suddenly there's a new way to kill things.

I find an acessory called long barrel, which increases weapons range. the crippling status now comes all the way from the other side of the map

I go the the border to Calvard Republic. The last time I was at a border was the Erebonian Empire. The mood here is VERY laid back, really different from the previous one. Which makes sense since they were at war with the empire not long ago

I arrive at Elmo village, an idyllic place in an otherwise industrial region. Typical.
