[dqxi] man. being in Sniflheim City and hearing people describe the Vikings as "rough around the edges, but good people at heart" sure hits different knowing what I know
(Erik's been quiet at this campfire, and apparently loitering out at the docks rather than staying with the party)
maybe they're different vikings.....
...I could live without "Rab dirty old man jokes"
RandomProphet: one can hope there's been a turnover in the time that's passed
like. honestly. why should Rab be ashamed of reading fantasy playboy? he's an adult he gets horny sometimes that is the purpose of fantasy playboy
i laughed at the porno mag jokes just because "the ogler's digest" is a very funny title for a porno mag and it's in no way predatory
he's perfectly well behaved around literally every female character
local asexual with a megaphone STOP BEING ASHAMED OF YOUR DESIRES
that's the thing! there's no indication that he is ogling anyone except professional oglees! it's fine! stop making this embarrassing!
I'm checking the Viking hideout and yeah, everyone you can talk to wants to be there
even the guy hauling shit says "I have to do this because I'm the new guy"
so you're right, it does look like a different outfit
that or they did some extreme soul searching in the years since erik left
finally got enough books read to find out that the adventurer writing them was Mosheh's (third) grandfather!
no wonder he was so chill with the time travel conversation
Arboria weirds me out
not just because the aesthetic does not correspond at ALL to the outfits of the characters who are FROM there
but because it is the village of putting incredible weight on the Heroes Reborn which manifests in being very Christian a lot of the time
and bad for children
they definitely raised Serena and Veronica as two halves of a whole person, even if they didn't tell them so
and. you know. the shit that's about to happen. makes it worse.
I'M FINE THIS IS FINE
and now for the moment when the game gets good
"this is a charming but pretty standard rpg," the game says. "come play this game that will not really reach you emotionally"
and then RandomProphet 's boy is here to ruin everything!
my favorite thing I didn't know to use last time: Mosheh's Pep Up ability
which is incredibly valuable since you need him pepped up to do the good limit breaks
(not that it helps in this fight)
(but it's fun to get to do two of them back-to-back)
oh right I forgot that the pendant finally made the penny drop for Hendrik
he needed AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL PENNY, though
(gather up your loved ones, gather up your friends, 'cause this is when the bad guy the bad guy wins)
