Six Thoughts/Questions
1)
I keep getting lured in by the promise of understanding finishing
magic. Grr. If I do end up trying NG+, it'll be after I read a guide or
find a video on this topic. There are so many abilities that interact
with finishing magic and it feels bad to just not use them.
2)
WE DID SECRET TRAINING WITH TONBERRY! I'm so happy they included that as
a name. I now get the image of a little tonberry Mr. Miyagi, teaching
Cater to be strong and wise.
3) Naghi! I know I've met him
before, but I just met him in the manga as a super serious spy kid
getting along with Miwa. I now know the origin of his headband/head
scarf.
4) I continue to love how Type-0 emphasizes that while
Class Zero is heroic and awesome, they're just one small part of a big
world. And not even CLOSE to the most powerful thing here. The battle
cinematic over Judecca blew my frigging balls off. Bahamut and Odin and
Soryu and titanic armies clashing. The VISUALS!!! FIGHTING ON SORYU'S
FROZEN BREATH IN THE CLOUDS ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
5) SORYU.
WTFFFFF SORYU WAS COOLER (no pun intended) THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED!!!
I read through his entry in the Rubicus and got hyped to see him. He
exceeded my hype by a factor of a billion.
Incidentally, I wonder if his design was influenced by Seath the Scaleless from Dark Souls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWxYI_M0ABg
Maybe not. That's the only white frost-crystalline dragon I know of, but maybe it's a broader trope.
5)
I got a little bit salty in that final fight against Sanzashi, but
unlike the Brionac fight, I see now what I should have done differently.
I should have used a ranged character, played defensively during the
pure air phase, and gone for the breaksights when the boss swooped down.
My bad!
