Summary:
Last leg of the world tour. We hit up towns on the western, eastern,
and southern continents. This tour nets us a new esper and introduces us
to a town of rude jerkfaces.
Dragon’s Neck: Nothing new.
Kohlingen: Shadow was here, but left.

-Whoa! An auction’s about to start at the auction house. First time I’ve seen that.
The bidding will start at 2,000 gil…
-I sit in on the bidding for “Angel Wings.” Won it for 10k gil. It casts float on the wearer, which is nice enough I guess, but not worth 10k imo.
-I leave, re-enter, and a new auction is starting. I guess this is always gonna be a thing. Let’s try it once more.
-The item this time is “Angel Ring.” I eventually win for 20,000 gil.
-Aaaaand it sucks. Casts regen on the wearer.
-My guess with the auction house is that it’ll have hard-to-find items that are way overpriced usually, and occasionally have mind-blowingly awesome items. I doubt I’ll use it much. Seems the kind of thing that’ll be more useful on replay, to someone with full knowledge of the items and a specific plan.
-Paintings in Owzer’s Mansion are the same. The guy in the house tries to tell me not to slouch and stuff. Ok.

Opera House: Can’t get in. There’s a performance underway.

East Isle
-I revisit this as I’ve heard there’s something worth seeing here.
-Not seeing anything still…
-Ooh, now I’m literally not seeing anything. It’s a monster called “Intangir” that’s invisible. I attack for a few rounds, but nothing doing. Eventually I have Terra cast fire, which works.
-AND REVEALS THE MONSTER TO BE A BEHEMOTH THAT STANDS UP WTF
-All my magic heals it and it casts meteor on me. Yeah, I’m running.

-Cool, a new town in the east that I didn’t see before!
-With music that makes me… suspicious. It feels like tricksy music.
-Apparently, I’m not the only suspicious one. None of the vendors in town will sell to me. Wtf.
-The townspeople all just say “…hmph!” when I talk to them.
-???? Even the innkeeper dislikes outsiders and tries to charge us 1,500gil? Wtf kind of innkeeper dislikes outsiders?
-An old guy with a mohawk who looks like an older version of General Leo gives me a more elaborate version of “…hmph,” but it basically amounts to the same thing.
Walrus mustache + mohawk = WIN
-YOU’RE ALL NPCS. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BLINDLY TRUST ME. Grrr…
-Fine. I can take a hint. Leaving.

Maranda: Nothing.
Tzen: Nothing.
Albrook: Someone tried to sell a “strange, glowing stone” to an old man here. He wouldn’t buy, so the vendor went to Tzen. Weird… I didn’t see any such stone there, but will go back to check.

Tzen
-I found the stone vendor! He vulture into the raided Magitek Factory and stole a magicite lying around. We buy it for 3,000 gil.
-AND HOLY CRAP IS IT WORTH IT!!!
The Seraph magicite.
-It’s like the ultimate white magic magicite.

Vector
-Really hoping we get raid the palace to get Celes back.
-And we get a resounding and immediate answer: “NO.” The Guardian, that seemingly-invincible (but thankfully immobile) turret that had guarded the Imperial Palace is now guarding the town of Vector itself.
I guess the Empire stepped up their defenses after our raid.
-This is especially frustrating because I wanted to win a fight in Vector. It’s a new terrain so probably has a Mog dance. Maybe? I mean, he’s a geomancer, not a city-mancer (like the famed Londonmancer, and a cookie to you if you get this). Oh well. There will hopefully be other cities for combat.
-OH HEY ZOZO’S A THING

Next time: Zozo for possible Mog dance, then we try to sneak through the Imperial Outpost to the east.
Dragon’s Neck: Nothing new.
