Journeys of a Wheeling Gamer (July 27, 2017)
Just found out some big Fire Emblem: Heroes news. Apparently, tonight there is some sort of stream. And also, it's being played in both Japanese and English, which is unusual. A lot of people are predicting it's the result of the Choose Your Legends poll from the beginning of the game, but I think that might be hard to implement.
Every iteration of someone was counted as a separate being, even if they were the same character. So how would that work in the game? I mean, there's young and old Tiki, but they're fairly easy to keep separate. I'm not sure how they would do something like Ike and Marth, because only a couple of years have passed since their appearances between games…
I'm interested to find out more about it, but I won't hear about it until tonight or tomorrow. Perhaps this is related to the new summoning focus that was promised on Friday…
As usual, Fantasy Life continues to be played. Right now, I still have Odin and the Dragonslayer in my party. However, I'm level 39. I'm ready to do the story quests associated with chapter 4, so I'm headed back to the Dark Sultan's palace. I'd like to speak with Magnificus first, because I heard he unlocks Cacto Cove.
And he still wants to take on the Dark Sultan… Didn't we spend the entirety of last chapter establishing that the Dark Sultan doesn't want to fight? And even so, he would probably win the battle, considering Magnificus is one of the worst allies in the game…
Heh, now I can see Damien beating up Magnificus in combat... What a funny sight… Especially since that's the opposite of Damien's personality… Even funnier that it's possible to have them in the same party fighting alongside each other…
But it looks like the way to the Cove has been opened, so let's explore! I have a couple quests I need to get done there…
Well, it looks like Catco Cove is a giant beach with a bunch of walking cacti… Can't say I expected anything less…
Found some dragonflies and some island honey… One of my quests involves grabbing dragonflies… Some sort of magical ritual… I'm glad they're blue. They're easy to find. I do have to wonder how honey got to the island though… I don't see any bees…
Climbed all the way up a giant cactus, only to find a traveling seller… I didn't buy any of his stuff, although I sold off what I could... It appears that's the end of the Cove, but there's something called the Cave of Shadows. I might as well go there…
So far the enemies are easy... I do have to defeat something called a Starry Catterpillo in order to progress… I haven't found any yet, though…
Looks like the Cave of Shadows doesn't lead anywhere… There's a pretty purple picture of a Triceratops, but nothing else…
It appears the enemies I'm looking for come out at night, so I should rest at my home before continuing. I can at least deliver the dragonflies.
And it's night, and that's all the caterpillars. No harder than any other enemy here. Kind of disappointed… Was hoping there would be more… Oh well, time to turn in my quests and continue with the story…
Next on the list, the Garden of Shadows. If I could remember how to get there…
At last, finally found the place! Got a few new quests while running around lost, so it wasn't a total waste of time…
And that dialogue was definitely worth it! Honestly, the Dark Sultan being afraid of his wife's lectures, and bears, of all things… Interesting that he seems to know where Butterfly comes from…
Last stop, the library. Speaking of libraries, it's been a while since I've been to one… Of course, I really don't need to go now… I've got a Kindle, and the Internet is my library…
I love the scene with Butterfly being loud in the library. That was always me when I was younger... I got so enthusiastic about the books I couldn't help shouting…
Well, it seems this chapter is completed. Let's head back and begin the next one!
So the next chapter begins and I'm alone again. It's the perfect time to level up my shield skill. That way I can equip the Champion's Shield. I have a feeling I'll be needing it…
Looks like we're going to the Elderwood, and Laura's coming with us. This shouldn't take too long…
As expected, things have been relatively uneventful. However, we did pick up a new party member, Leilah. Interested to see how she fights, but she's not likely to get into any fights here.
So this is the Elderwood village… It's beautiful, and the music is soothing… Too bad there's not much to do in it now…
And Butterfly reveals who she really is… Not like I hadn't suspected this from the beginning… Still interesting, though.
And we get a new ally, Pino. Unlike his sister, he actually does some fighting. He fights with a dagger, it seems.
And after that fight, a new person, Yuelia, reveals her motives and the Great Spirit wants to meet us… I have to say I like the dynamic between Yuelia and Noelia… I'm hoping to see more of it…
That will be for next time though.
