Summary:
We dive into the sharply divided cities of Jidoor and Zozo. Jidoor is
beautiful, complete with an unsettling gallery of paintings and an
auction house, while Zozo is a hive of scum and villainy. More clock
puzzles. We find Terra.
Jidoor
-Walked south to Jidoor.
-All the poor people were forced out and built a town up north. That’s fucked up. I automatically mistrust Jidoor. Something tells me though that the poor city won’t be portrayed in the most pleasant light.
-Shady kids from Zozo (other town’s name?) sometimes prey on the people of Jidoor.
-Terra flew off to the northern mountains.
-Maria is a beautiful opera diva. Possible new party member?
-There’s an auction house.
The charming and modest citizens of Jidoor.
Hey, someone mentions an artifact to bring back lost souls! No doubt Locke’s ears perked up. Problem: the artifact is in Vector, the Imperial capitol. Have fun storming the castle.
-Sharp class divides even here in Jidoor, even with the poor people all having left.
The middle class is literally on the lower tier of the city.
-Massive house in north of town.
-Apparently, everyone in Zozo is a dirty liar.

Owzer’s Mansion
-Celes apparently looks like Maria. Again – my FF spidey-senses are going off and saying “Celes’s long-lost sister?” I was wrong last time with Terra. Let’s see this time.
-Owzer owns lots of paintings.
-WTF – AN ULTROS PAINTING???
I call it: “Seafood Soup.”
-The flower still life says: “It’s almost as if they were alive…” Oh crap. Are the flowers real? Is this some “Witches” bullshit?
---
Overworld
-I know that I should go to Zozo next, but I really want to see the opera house. So I head south.
-I LOVE THE OPERA HOUSE MUSIC. It screams “Old Timey.”
Too bad the building’s closed for now. Let’s head north to the mountains.

Zozo
-A rainy city?
-A city with random encounters? wtf
-A city with even more awesome music!!
-Hill Gigas’s sprite is GINORMOUS. And its “Magnitude 8” spell hurts like hell.
-Another clock puzzle. A clock in the north of town asks me to set a specific time. Hm.
-I see a room near the clock I can’t get to.
-WTF – a Harvester stole all my gil!
-Phew. I get it back after winning the fight. But talk about an incentive not to flee.
-Ok, I think the Hill Gigas only uses Magnitude 8 in retaliation to Drill.
-…never mind. I guess he does it randomly. Huh.
-Someone says the second hand should read 30. Another person says it should be “at the four” (read: 20). Who’s telling the truth?
-LOLOL – I love how they embraced this whole “city of liars” thing.
“Nope, no strange flying pink girls here!”
-More people telling me different times.
-What are we waiting in line for? And why do the denizens of Zozo wear banana peels on their heads?
-WHEEE!
PARKOUR!
I get to jump between buildings.
-Top of a building, and this guy is super polite. It’s freaking me out.
-Of course. Boss time.
A martial-arts-dude named Dadaluma.
-Hm. That was kind of easy. Just a few rounds, and victory. Gau’s “Cat Scratch” is an all-star.
-Got Hermes Sandals. Nice.
-TERRA IN BED! Hi, Terra. Still in pink Jem form.

Next time: what’s up with Terra?
