I advance to bracer rank 2 and gain an acessory that grants immunity to all status except KOs. I give it to Estelle, along with another acessory that grants immunity to instant kills. no status will get in the way of my spellcasting

I finish the librarian quest. Using a faq to figure out the last (rather difficult) two riddles. At the end of it, a letter says the riddles were created to pass on a powerful quartz to a person who proved their intelligence. Err...

Whatever, I take Impede 3 and give it to Estelle so she unlocks Aero Storm. I don't need intelligence, I have Estelle.

Guild woman hands me a map of the most secure military base in the country. Estelle asks how the hell she has it. She says "the guild knows things. It's better if you don't know"

She also says "it's absolutely crucial we don't ruin relations with the army. RIGHT, AGATE" Agate: "sure but if I meet the bad guys they are screwed, I've been chasing them for so long they'll be offended if I don't kick their asses". lol

Agate opposes bringing Tita. I tend to agree with him. This is insane. She's 12. However she is the only one who can use the miracle device that lets us enter the otherwise impenetrable base. This is massive child abuse, though.

we learn some royal guardsmen in the capital have been arrested. Coincidentally, the black mask guys who have been the game's antagonists disguised themselves as royal guardsmen. However, they seem to be using the military's intelligence base. The politics in this game has gotten complicated and hard to crack, which is great. I'm at a loss of who is evil here.

yep, Mischa is his sister. Though she doesn't seem to be dead, unless he's lying

I feel like we are about to strike a win against those black masks, because there's no way they have a escape plan against a "bracers invade the pentagon" situation

Like, an airship ready to take off from carnelia tower? that's realistic, anyone can go to carnelia tower. But not the place we are about to invade

the scene of the 4 trying to fit a cargo box is hilarious

Major Cid is a Cat Person. That puts him at least on the Neutral alignment scale. If he were a dog person I'd be more sure about trusting him, though.

(evil people are the ones who don't like animals)

using a cat as a decoy is a clever touch, though

Richard is with the prof. I knew it! He dunnit!

Cid is also bad. I guess it wasn't a double subversion, everyone in this building is evil.

so the royal guards have been set up, and the intelligence are the bad guys. the plot unfolds

Cid stays alone with the prof, which is a terrible position to be in when protagonists are coming and your boss, who is stronger than you, leaves. That means you have been assigned to the position of chapter boss, to be defeated next scene.

I just realized the person Agate fought when he was chasing the bad guys in the woods, Lorence, is a guy. Their hair thingies made me think it was a girl.

So we recover the supercomputer, but the bad guys have left with the mcguffin. Because, like all mcguffins, it must be used to power up the Doomsday Device during the final battle

the alarm fires and a billion soldiers are chasing us. I wonder if they can see us through the haze quartz, though. Now that I think of it, the Haze quartz might be the most powerful intelligence asset in the world of Trails. It has Stone Mask levels of effectiveness

wow I was only joking but haze actually works. None of the soldiers see us. Lmao. Though the front door is locked so we still have to find an alternative exist.

suddenly, a ! mark appears over one of them and he sees us. "Half works", I guess. Wonder what triggered it

Tita's smoke cannon can solo the country's army. I'm not joking

With all doors locked, we find one to the prison, where the bosses of the previous chapters are all locked in. What a coincidence

I was thinking we were going to do a prison break out but the main characters are too lawful for that. Lame.

Cid is actually secretely on our side. So both my predictions turned out to be right. Cool.

Mogran is also a good guy, despite being a dickhead. I figured that out when the game started comparing him unforavorably to Richard. That's where you place a twist

it turns out continuing to be a military state once war is over tends to lead to corruption, and coup attempts. This game is realistic

Cid is ready to face prison to do the right thing. Good character

he shows us a secret door to an aqueduct, where I assume the chapter boss awaits

Agate, TIta and the prof have been compromised, so they will go into hiding. Meanwhile Estelle and Josh will move on with the game's plot

that said I'm not sure I agree Tita is that compromised and the writing is kind of forcing it. I'm pretty sure Estelle and Josh ran into the intelligence division guys more often that she did

No chapter boss, apparently. Unless you count those two door guards. I don't

Chapter 3: McGuffins and Whodunnits beaten
