It was a close race but What proves he's a natural born jockey by claiming a win his first time out there! Woohoo!
Dio passed a note on to Ester and wtf? "Now that you are victorious"??? Sounds like he woulda kept everyone locked up until What won despite knowing they're innocent. What the hell Dio.
Wait seriously? He met Sephiroth and lived? Sounds like a load ta me.
!!!!!!!!!! At long last the rivers can be crossed! Thanks for the ride, Dio! But as for your suggestion of heading towards Gongaga since thats where "Sephiroth" was going? F that!
First things first, make use of Mr Meows Manipulate materia ta harvest a fresh an powerful new enemy skill! Harpy's know Aqualung, which is basically the water version of Beta! Over at the beach we can pick up Big Guard from Beachplugs! Haste+Barrier+M Barrier? We dun have access to any of that magic seperately yet so getting 'em all in one package rocks!
Back in Costa del Sol Johnny is doing well, one of the soccer kids has a real confusing comment, the group which was there for surfing seems to have moved on, and What is strangely eager ta lotion up this lady!
The cargo ship peeps take no issue with stowaways which means the parties heading on back east! Even the air force is on their side, giving 'em free copter rides!
Now that we're back over here we can snag the ever useful White Wind enemy skill from Zemzelett! This restores as many HP as the person using it has to the whole party and cures many status effects and ignores M Barrier and Reflect! Restore materia...? Who needs you anymore?
Now that we can cross rivers we can get to this cave at long last! The old man somehow knows how many battles you've fought, how many you've ran from, and something about large materia o.o? At 366 battles he gave us a Bolt Ring and at 377 a Mythril which strangely enough is a Key Item. Those are usually needed to progress in games so its good we came back here huh?
While in the area word of another Shinra attack on Fort Condor came in and was skillfully repelled by the forces under What's command!
The party also beat up the Zolom again to get Beta for their second enemy skill materia!
An with business on this continent finished again its time to head back! Could pay a toll and have to run through all of Junon to get to the cargo ship, or go for a dolphin ride! The choice is clear!
That small building we saw awhile back is now accessible except for the fact that common courtesy is suddenly a thing? You've barged into many homes why make an exception for this place!?
Right around the corner is this rundown lookin' place! The Turks are hanging around talking about the girls they like
; Elena runs in acting as if they were expecting What and the others ta show up. Isn't this the place Dio said they should visit? Did he send them right into an ambush??
Mr Meows got a limit break called Slots an even without lining up the reels in any special way it still unleashes big big damage on the Turks! So much for that rematch Reno wanted cause him and Rude got stomped lol.
A spy in the party? I think not. Like I said, this is all Dio selling 'em out!
Further in we come face to face with "Heavy Tank". 50% dino, 50% tank, 100% amazing!
Another ruined reactor? Scarlet and Tseng working together? Whats next, bumping into Reeve? Are any of Shinra's major players even in Midgar anymore?
Come ta think about it, that old man in the cave mentioned large materia an its something Scarlet is after in order to make the ultimate weapon. That doesn't sound good! Oh an the materia in the remains of this reactor isn't junky! Its a perfectly good new summon... Titan!!
Here we gots another town devastated by a reactor gone wrong. This one suddenly exploded 3 years ago and left many people dead and the town in shambles.
Couple of older folks notice that What has the SOLDIER look about him an asks if he knows about their missing son Zack, who was also first class. Seems he left home about 10 years ago saying he was gonna join SOLDIER.
What hasn't gotta clue. This and Look on the other hand? They're seeming awfully suspicious about something.
This isn't fessing up ta knowing this Zack fellow an instead makes the conversation about What. Think he hit a nerve cause she's sounding abit snippy at the end there!
Aha! So Zack was Looks first boyfriend! That's one long kept secret unveiled! An yeah What, when ya put it that way you not knowing him is strange. FYI all this stuff is once again, optional! Ya never gotta set foot inside the town outskirts, reactor, or town itself. Ya could also visit without This, Look, or neither of them in the party an miss out on their Zack business.
The lil frog baddie heres called Touch Me which is a weird a name as any. Can nab its Frog Song enemy skill from it which is pretty cool. Cooler still is that frog'd party members have a unique victory pose!
Moving along past Gongaga we see this spot which looks outta place. I'ma keep an eye on that. Also learn that the Golems of this world are robots. Not questioning it!
Another town eh? Gonna park the buggy here an have a look around, next time!
