Tio uses an experimental weapon no one else has. So it won't sell in shops, right? Wrong, the guy who invented it will regularly drop new versions of it at local weapon shops so we can buy them.
Amazing.

being able to equip new items automatically from the shop menu? what is this technology?

we got to the bracer guild, whose receptionist is kind of a troll

the perfect receptionist for a game whose protagonists are trying to compete with bracers but arent really bracers

Bracers' opinion on us range from "hey, if police wants to do our work for us, we will take it!" to "we don't trust those kids, they will break things and then we'll have to fix it"

we then visit the most powerful international organization of Zemuria

I mean the fishing guild

we learn the old man who Lloyd befriend in the train is this city's Maybelle. I think this will come up later

Crossbell is a financul hub. How do you know that? The bank is an entire district of its own

what do you mean, I can't just explore the news building? I could in Liberl!

the problem is having a game where literally half the map is the capital city is that it has to come up with excuses to keep some buildings closed from the start

Lloyd didn't want to be in this division. But now that he is, he's gonna take every job, even the ones that scream "bracer only". which includes exterminating monsters

this is my new favorite character dynamic

Keep going Elie, and we'll make and Estelle out of you

I remember praising Tita in my character rankings for being just a kid, with no weird "she is mature because she is a genius" theme. And then there's Renne, who also does the kid thing with some... twists.

And then there is Tio, who does a complete 180 from what Tita did by being mature because she is a genius

I'm not complaining, I like that this series wants to explore all kinds of different characters

I'm guessing this is where the local mob is

We go to the theater, where we meet Purple Haired Girl

Why am I bothering to mention her? Well, she has not only a character portrait, but a big one. Shes important

we complete our first sidequest (finding some missing items) and the guy is like "thanks. I only called the police because I was desperate, but I was surprised you guys even show up".

This police is just extremely incompetent, isn't it. And now they only made a department to actually help people because the fact an NGO is more useful than them is risking making the mayor lose the next election

I've finished checking every building and character available in this city. It took about forever

I finish the extermination request. Two tries. this game's hard mode is no walk in the park, but its considerably easier than that insanity that was SC's hard mode.

boss calls us and says two gangs are about to start fighting in the poor neighborhood, so we gotta stop them. Finally. Real police work.

Did you all grab the tear gas cannisters? The rubber bullets (and the real bullets too?). Then let's go. There are civilians to suppress.

civilians supressed. well, half of them. Then their leaders (Wald and Wazy) show up and make them stop. they both have character portraits, so this is probably not the last of them

I know CPD is pathetic but outright telling cops you intend to engage in a massive gang war in the future is not very smart. if this was real life police those guys would have bullets in their heads by this point

we go talk to Wazy to see if he can tell why the hell the two gangs are fighting. Lloyd gives an absolutely cheesy shonen hero speech.

Wazy is so impressed he decides to cooperate

And now to the red vipers. We have a hard time getting in, but Elie is really good at sweet talking

We go in, and Lloyd ends up having to fight Wald in a 1v1. He wipes the floor with me harder than Loewe in FC did. And I get a game over because apparently I have to win. Uh... what?
