Hello everyone! Hope all is well!
Well, good news! The "Spoony Bard" quote is preserved! I was pleased to see that. Sure, it might be something silly, but I guess if a quote can be nostalgic, it's that one, haha.
The Bombing of Damcyan was intense. The initial part where the Red Wings actually drop the bombs was very fast, only a few seconds long, almost humorously fast, especially when compared to the original. Anna's death was emotional, of course. The voice acting is, again, really good. Tellah was kind of funny, since he has a Deckard Cain vibe going on and the first time you hear his voice is during Anna's death, so it's campiness caught me off guard. I feel really bad for Edward; everyone was abusing him pretty bad. Even Rydia wasn't nice. She called him a coward and everything. Poor Edward.
What's even sadder about Edward, though, are his stats, haha. After Anna's death, Tellah vows revenge on Golbez (which this is the first time he's mentioned; can't wait to see him in 3D!) and leaves the party. Edward is the replacement. He has fewer stat points than even Rydia, but no magic to make up for it. He does, however, now have a new ability set called Bardsong, which replaces his sing command from the original. This lets him use any of his Harp songs regardless of what Harp he has equipped. While I'm not sure how useful this will be yet, I'm never used status effects too often in the original, so I guess he'll be using the healing song the whole time!
Now, back in the original, I remember the area of Mount Hobs before the ice wall being a good training spot, since Rydia's healing magic makes short work of the skeletons that spawn in groups of 6. Quick XP for Edward to get him out of his I-die-every-battle time. This, uh, isn't the case now, haha. The skeleton's Thunder spell one-shots Edward and quickly kills Rydia, usually before she can cast Cura. I think I'll just have to train at the Underground Waterway, and then a bit at the Antlion's Cave and then back to Mount Hobs for a bit. This should put everyone at more than enough level to defeat the Antlion.
Well, that's all for now! As always, wish me luck, and I'll see you tomorrow! Have a great day!
