Summary: Eight in the Arena. Questing in Old Lorica. Kactuar. A flood of content I'm too low to do.

Five Thoughts/Questions
1)
Eight's Explosive Fist is really nice in theory, but I think I actually
connect with it maybe 10% of the time. It's so dang slow! By the time
he's finished stretching and winding up, the enemy is usually halfway
across Orience.
2) Am I missing something about Lightspeed Jab?
I assumed it would be a quick way to instantly get a ranged breaksight
or killsight but even with the teleportation it doesn't seem fast enough
for that.
3) I was surprised that Emina didn't accept my two
gifts here. Aside from the guides that are no doubt available, what
in-game hints tell me the gifts that work at a given time? Like, is
there dialogue with Emina that hints at what she wants and doesn't want?
4) I thought before this session that the phantoma I harvest
depended on the magic I used to kill them. Is that the case? The Sorcery
NPC here made it seem like it depended on the enemy itself. Maybe it's a
mix?
5) I was surprised by how weak the Kactuar I encountered
seemed. Then I read that Rubicus entry. Sounds like I just lucked out
from getting one-shot lol.
