Tales of Arise: Calaglia, Day [1]

[Music] huh [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Applause] foreign [Applause] [Music] just like that [Music] all right hello everybody welcome welcome to tales of rise it's been a good i guess five years at this point right uh since the last tales game came out i had to start on the the opening because you know they're very important to the game i i feel like the the anime opening is is always a important tone setter for what we're doing so yeah um i'm gonna be playing tales of our eyes all day today um as sort of a setup i'll be letting the game do a good amount of the talking i'm not gonna try to talk over too much what's going on but obviously not everything uh at the same time uh i'm damn excited for a new tail scam uh i don't know that much about the setup we have here other than our two main characters i basically saw the first trailer for this game and went okay cool uh i'm going to be buying this i don't need more information so i know there's a you know at this point all six of the main casts are known and we saw them in the opening but uh but yeah uh let me know how everything looks how everything um seems uh they're like audio-wise i did some testing on the balance uh hopefully the bit rate is high enough uh for everything so yeah glad everybody's here have a good time um we won't be touching this yet uh there's a lot of there's okay this game came with i'll talk about this now before we start uh this game came like has a couple different versions uh that come with different uh dlc uh i ended up getting the ultimate edition that comes with all of the costume dlc uh there's also outside of the ultimate edition there's a uh a uh audio dlc bit that seemed way too expensive for what it is but it's music from all the other tales games that you can use in the game but i don't i want to let horizon soundtrack play so that that can do its thing uh and then there's a bunch of dlc that's like vesperia had on release it's like you can buy levels and experience which is very silly to me so uh anyway um with all that we got our burning coil sword here which is they're just hanging out let's start things up uh and uh see you on the other side ah rosella thank you very much for the stub all right oh right uh i already did all this uh because i had to do graphics we're doing full screen uh 920 1080 again if if things end up not being able to keep a frame rate we'll just turn that down uh should be annoying but whatever whatever it looked good when i did testing so in ages long past it was believed that mother dana was indestructible and everlasting rena on the other hand was thought to be the domain of the gods a paradise where the souls of the departed could rest forevermore oh how wrong we were in the face of rena's unimaginable technology its soldiers clad in huge shining armor and its fearsome beasts known as zugels the prosperity and bounty of dana all but disappeared overnight that was 300 years ago the world of dana fell under renin rule and its new masters split the land into five distinct realms and now today orbis calaglia one of the renin's five realms it is ruled over by the tyrant balsam lord of the fire master corps unrelenting fire scorches this barren wasteland dust storms course over the rocks and cracks and no relief is to be found from the oppressive heat the danon people toil as slaves day after day they suffer under the ruthless oppression of the renin soldiers with only one hope of escape death only in death is their agony finally brought to an end they have forgotten what it means to be free so complete is the renin's domination [Music] death all right everything was great until space alien showed up 300 years ago enslaved everybody and now the world is so so so so so so awful everyone's dead dying forever in this god-hand world this looks like this this is definitely a stage from godhead um and then uh but at the same time we're ruled over by orbis balsa buddy you just helped push the barrel [Music] dragon quest child puts them back into it embedded do they have like x spheres is that what the little thing on their hand is ah iron mask why you let me what is this some kind of slave support group mind your own business you work all right third squad time to regroup go on get moving giant barrel hey wait for me thank you iron mask are you hurt no i'm fine iron mask you you're bleeding we need to get you looked at by doc that bad huh better safe than sorry i suppose all right are we yep all right so we can take a look around so yeah uh it's it's there's a very funny dichotomy to me of like how this game's opening is going incredibly serious nope your hands fine your other arm you got blood on it but like also this is a tails game with orbis balsick as an or sorry orbis collapse duck's gonna like what he sees anyway let's go meet our unknown character here how do i have okay and again like this the world is hell 300 years have the space marines been taking over anyway here's this bunny girl with a giant gun like hell yes please yes good now that that like this is correct actually all right uh okay so haircut clothing we get our attachments like usual we have sets of attachments sorry we're starting with the most important system right i decided to start straight here we're not gonna like okay so i have five slots for fashion playing as bain being hero of the children it seems we took a sword hit for a kid who was trying to roll a giant barrel ooh weapon skin yo that's really good so like i can choose like what weapon i have equipped if they have different that's nice there's also we're not going to touch it right now but like right here i can grab like 1 000 dlc uh costumes i'm going we're going to we're going to take it slow and we're going to wait to claim those until you know time yeah let's we're gonna let the game have its moment and you know do its thing and then we're going to undermine it with uh a cat on her head yeah so i'm when i say embedded i'm i don't know like do we have a do we have a thing on our you can't see if we i don't think we have a thing on our head so i was thinking about it might mean the little x spheres that they have on there uh i'm dark soul yes this is very we we we've got a lot a lot of blood of the dark soul going on here yeah so the the doc has wanted to sorry to trouble you doc hmm look after yourself and there'd be no need for sorry's would there now sit so still unable to remember anything i take it yes nothing but that strange dream nerf face no memories everybody check off your box on your bingo card for amnesia to take on everybody else's oh unable to feel pain huh yeah yes that was that was one of the few details in the first trailer you may not be able to feel pain but that doesn't mean you can't be wounded just like everyone else if you're not more careful you'll wind up dead without even realizing it one of these days i watched another slave die today more corpses than i care to count unfortunately that's hardly a rare sight around these parts are always going to replace your spine just watch how long can this continue why doesn't anyone stand and fight yep looks good spine's all set got your replacements fine in there keep your voice down will you if only it were so simple my friend there have certainly been uprisings all right three centuries worth of the damn things as for all the good they've done take a look around and judge for yourself there that should just about do it now do me a favor and try to stay out of trouble so the wound doesn't open again doc back when i knew nothing you were the one who taught me just how things work around here you know i'll always be grateful for that but i can't just the race is won by the calm and the steady you're still young you have time wait for the right moment both for yourself and the world work will be wrapping up for the day soon enough don't sit around here go out and feel the breeze against your skin even a slave's entitled to that just do me a favor and keep a low profile all right you stand out enough in that mask as it is so i talked about hitting the check box on amnesia um but we already have a couple other tales check boxes um that you can hit uh if you have a check box on your bingo card for uh two worlds sounds like we've got that fantasy racism you can hit your little check box or that with the uh renin's and the tenants here you know we're we're very likely going to be hitting on that we're going in on the beginning uh kind of on here ooh lightering is there actually a bigger card i should have made a bingo card i did okay what would the free space be my god i don't know mascot character oh hey this dragon quest hits right here named cole what is it is it uh tales of parts is that where core meteors from anyway what up free space new word for magic over the orbis whatever we got oh okay so the stones are the purpose we're literally making x-spheres here all right hold on i gotta watch this guard all right watch this guards pathing they almost walked into a wall that's why i was just like everyone else here so how come i don't have a spirit core yeah okay so we face memories for that matter don't like worrying about it'll change anything okay so us not having one of those is a weird thing yeah give me the ass kick is way too cute of a word for either using it as dragon we don't have a face i don't know we got a mask oh rip what's up can he pet the zoogle the invaders good old space invaders i can't believe we had spaceships show up like minute one oh that right oh um another thing you can put on a tails game this is actually like what so sales games don't have a lot of connective tissue between them i'm gonna be talking a lot about tails games as a series as we do this hey bud um one of the pieces that's almost a 100 percent include you'll see in every tails game is the idea of two worlds uh in some sort of conflict uh starts from fantasia with daoist planet um but almost every other tales game has this in some way uh zestiria and biseria don't have it literally but humans and serifs or humans and malek um have that sort of thing going on looks like we have that here uh symphonia uh and the eternia has inferior celestia symphony has uh it's it's pear uh the abyss has the underworld in the overworld uh et cetera et cetera et cetera there this is a consistent theming thing oh wait is like one of those a fake artificial moon like damn if it is also might be the planet uh anymore tales of grace's wing have a bandage are you wearing a bandage damn that's nice one [Music] all right basically everybody's in rebellion but nobody's gonna be open about it hey y'all just gotta wave at my clothing crafter dot gif what's up i should get some rest uh ah my house i wonder how many people have slept in this bed before me mine for now but for how long we got a nice rock another day i guess i should get some shut-eye [Music] in that way i better head to work you can't play in that wave got business with a freight train today huh great all right we got dashing i got jumping hey bud all right freak hauling duty okay great time to start another day toiling away for the rentons we had to do this until i don't think any other title has been this front and center about its fantasy racism conflict i mean i i use fantasy racism conflict as an overarching bubble this may not be a a true [Music] a truer version of that this might just be space warlord showed up to enslave everybody which is slightly different than the space but i still use it also all these guards look at this guard armor everybody has these giant shoulder pads we enslaved in hell basically yeah we live under the fire orbis uh which is a ge which like burns dead bodies all right look lively slaves let's see some work around here are we just pushing the train all right oh [Music] [Music] granar zephyr she's here the hell [Music] come back [Music] uh [Music] all right then the girl's nowhere to be found this hurts did you find anything not yet sir what do they expect from us on such short notice tried jumping hey you're a lot of trouble you know now we can do this the easy way or not [Music] [Music] it's just you [Music] i'm running away with mystery lady i love that we just flipped two dudes like effortlessly that ruled armored soldiers [Music] we're doing pretty good against two armored dudes [Music] oh dude we almost got ryden got our mask hell yeah hell yeah [Music] give the buster okay yeah anybody who touches her just gets blasted sure we're establishing that repeatedly hope you can jump oh [ __ ] yo this is you all missed your chance to become lord which means you lost live and die for me the mighty balsas thank you your skulls now hurry up and bring me shion hmm even the drinks lost its appeal someone's in a bad mood lord of wolsey ruler of orbis collagula but it's wild beast you prefer isn't it do forgive me gannabel volkiris what do you want keep throwing mouths at me please from what i hear you seem to be having some trouble over there in collagula as a fellow lord i merely thought to ask whether i could be of any assistance to you enough with the false pretense i can tell around okay rivaling lords sure forgive me i can only imagine the emotional toll failing to ascend the throne not once but twice must take a most distressing state of affairs shut up it's none of your concern the crown contest is preceding a pace and so quickly i must say it won't be long before the victor is crowned as the new sovereign you're going to win the crowd and you can be sure i won't forget our little chat nor will i until next time that cup is huge you're gonna crap oh come on cut away this is our dream we have one dream we remember because of course we have amnesia except for the one vision where you awake uh-huh who are you the name's telsa i'm the medical officer for the crimson crows you're in one of our safe houses crimson crows don't tell me you've never heard of us we're the resistance for the danon people crimson crows being close to black crows is that our is that our bit here the denon resistance i didn't know such a thing existed we exist all right though i guess we're not as famous as i thought we were seems like i know more about you than the other way around mr iron mask is it true you can't take that thing off yeah worse is that i don't even know why i'm wearing it that woman i was with oh yeah she's quite the character isn't she zephyr should be interrogating her over in the slammer as we speak you locked her up why why go take a look for yourself if you're so interested they're interrogating her just what the hell is going on so i need to go and find out for myself as a couple people have mentioned the animations and uh choreography in here looks a lot more fluid than in the previous engine the the previous engine out of cut out of uh you know big anime cut scenes just in engine stuff was a lot more restricted in how animation looked uh things looked a lot stiffer and i can already see right here like things look a lot stronger smoother in this new in this new engine that they have the old engine i believe was i know it was zestiria and berseria but i think it was zillion two as well i'm not certain on that one i didn't play zillion two so anyway all right yeah crimson crows um generally in tails games there's again a number of little through lines uh references that stick around one you know a chef uh a mascot character the i think it's the like the the black crows or the there's a there's a much lower tier one that shows up every once in a while [Music] carry an abandoned mine [Music] okay is that for the cool gauntlet dude uh that jolly flying man i would disagree heavily because uh syria freaking rules this area is far and away the best tales game that he like exists on a lot of axes in my mind um it's it's the one that i can say is good rather than he has a tails game good if you know what i mean um i love eternia attorney is actually good too that's 2d hotel sales games have a lot of rough edges bezieria has a lot less yep yep okay the the the lenagus is like literally a moon planet they showed up on so we've got the five lords here and then we've got moon planet that that all the space dude showed up on sure i want to check this place out what do we got okay this lets us connect to other minds sure cool [Music] what up [Music] are they my they're literally mining fire i i i guess you can mine fire that was what was in the barrel oh that's why the barrel exploded that fire wait this is where all exploding barrels and video games come from wow this is where they make them folks right here they probably have like down here you color code them you know you have to make sure that they have red on them they're color-coded right um [Music] all right y'all just stopped touching your shoulder so it wasn't a lie the slightest touch is like being struck by lightning what are you doing so you're finally awake huh what's going on what is she average skyrim not mp4 [ __ ] so even if you don't mean to hurt somebody if they touch you they get electrocuted huh it doesn't seem to be poison or magic is this the reason bolsef soldiers were after you for the last several days bolsef's forces have been getting pretty restless when we looked into a deeper the word thorns came up over and over again and now we come across miss prickly herself drop the attitude did you really think we wouldn't find out anything about you miss shion imeris that's her name you mean jeez what you didn't figure it out already yeah that's right this lady's got herself a surname our enemy yeah but she was being chased by running soldiers so then why that's exactly what we're trying to figure out after all aside from the clothes they wear there's only one way to tell a and that's whether their eyes light up or not ain't that bright bright eyes big talk for someone who can't even use astral arts embedded don't you call us embedded look you see the stoner people embedded in me and there isn't one because we gouged them out the day we swore to rise up against your kind this scar's a reminder not to rest until every last we dannon's may not be capable of using astral arts but it looks like those thorns of yours won't do you much good in escaping here either still inflicting pain on anyone who comes near you that's one hell of an ability you're wrong do you think this curse is some kind of great ability oh we're like three levels in on the the the like on that okay sure enough all i know is bolsef must have his eye on you for a damn good reason until we find out why they must have tracked us down evacuate his plan hurry and bring the girl if she gives you any trouble wave a spear in her face i got it hey iron mask sorry but right now for themselves here's a garbage sword i'm going to welcome our guests don't go dying on me come on move and don't try anything funny zephyr there seems like a pretty rad dude understandably mad about the whole uh dole sword it's just an absolute garbage sword just [ __ ] like detailed [Music] okay no i can hear that immediately when we say that yeah oh applejack wait hold on that's not what a gel does i've played a tails game what's this thing gels are percentage this is 30 i no and again we have outfits but we're not doing that yet soon again don't worry apple go what's called lemon enemy attack i like i have to find an exit and get the hell out no snitches than the crimson crows well it's currently a lot more than 30 that's but that's the whole point of the scaling is that apple gels are useful a game it's a defining feature so this is as far as i did uh my testing because i needed to get to a battle i skipped every cutscene and just got here so [Music] ah okay they just have cool [ __ ] armor oh they have machinery in their coolest [ __ ] armor okay have these kinds of battles been going on this entire time i just didn't know oh so she got away sure all right but yeah this is as far as i got in my test recordings because i wanted to make sure that the frame rate in fights was good i just can't see and skip to here oh it's just a dead oh just an idiot with a [ __ ] sword sorry i can't understand you in that helmet spit it out i want an answer insurgent how's this for an answer go to hell you dare address a random armored soldier that way i'll show you embedded all right level six so combat system in this game is quite different uh it's modeled closest it feels on berseria because we still have the soul gauge but like so we have main attack on a right bumper um and then you have your arts on yxa and then i i'm assuming we'll be able to change those but also i just have a dodge roll on right trigger [Music] also the music's just going so you see i have like the souls i have to do this like down there in my bottom that's like my uses of swallow blade and rising library [Music] i won i actually beat one of those soldiers and i could use arts i i'm legit i have to survive this no matter what treasure treasure no trigger uh because i don't think i can control my arts at the moment i wonder who has demon fang it's probably us main character and all that we have no idea who we are we're amnesic though we have this basket we don't know who we are [Music] uh yeah talk to yourself rip to you but i'm built different oh no they got a dog [Music] rising library [Music] [Music] oh [Music] take this [Music] yeah it is tails day ooh according to sharp [ __ ] i we we're still in tutorial and and we can't so one of the things about our is that they can't feel pain which would be a neat way to translate you can't see your hp bar right [Music] like i'm sure when we get party members we'll see we'll we'll see it but you know we can't feel pain that's a that's a known quality mayor i'm merits daymore okay that's a millionaire what the you've got some kind of death wish armored soldiers your shut up and get out of here while you still can step aside slave these are renin affairs you're meddling in hey we've got a better chance working together besides i don't much feel like being indebted to a fine suit yourself gun [Music] gun gun gun gun combos or attacks normal attacks have assembled middle arms continue until your arcade runs out normal decks count separately on the ground in the air using hard to go between them okay so we can go like one two three launcher one two three [Music] during a combo multiple times and then four actions uh oh okay we have a we have fight game uh fall off don't expect any promises there we go [Music] why did you help me what could a danon like you possibly gain from helping a renin like me trust me i have no great love for renin's i guess i'm just not as concerned with hatred as some what have we met somewhere before me friends with a dannon can't say i've had the pleasure well when you put it like that yeah silly question i don't remember anything about my past it's an ambitious to go on either not even my own face let me get this straight you don't know what you look like but you thought i might somehow recognize it something like that guess my helping you back there wasn't as self-sacrificing as i made it out to be besides i can't feel pain anyway so it's not like wait you really can't feel pain yeah it's just another thing i don't have no pain no face no memories i only know one thing about myself that's that i'm a slave what about your name you must have one right iron mask got the name from the person who found me said that this way i wouldn't forget i had a real name out there somewhere i see so where to next outside silly what do you think we fought all this way for [Music] all right i'm enjoying our stay our party already [Music] because they hate each other's asses real hard oh can you even see out of that thing yeah those are skits of course i can how else do you think i managed to avoid tripping everywhere i go what is that thing anyway it doesn't look like anything dan and i've ever seen 3d models for skits is weird i don't remember anything i'm getting used to but when i came to i was already wearing it if i could get it off i would damn thing makes it hard to eat i can't scratch my face when it itches it's the worst honestly i'm just impressed you've managed to survive this long looking like that i'm sure you attract attention wherever you go most of the other denons don't pay it any mind it's in everyone's best interest to just keep their heads down focus on their work and pretend they don't notice what about the running soldiers didn't they notice the guards they're more the kill first asked questions later type be in the wrong place or step out of line and you're dead mask or no mask that said as long as you keep your head down and don't cause trouble they mostly ignore you honestly sometimes they don't look all that keen to stir up trouble themselves a friend of mine said it's because if they kill us without a good reason it could delay the work and put them behind schedule at that point it'd be their knicks on the line you should know more about all that than me though right i don't serve any of the lords but i see what you mean after three centuries of run and rule without much upheaval it's possible the soldiers might be losing their edge all this trouble we've caused might be the first excitement they've had in a while well i don't plan on getting killed for their amusement he definitely eats like a waddle dee like you put a cookie up to his mouth and he just eats it uh but no the yeah the uh so you might see the initial setup here we have uh our mystery lady who anybody that touches her gets like shocked and knocked out and our main character who is the only person able to not get shocked and knocked out so we'll definitely be uh bringing it up a million times i'm sure glad to see you made it i did i heard you managed to escape but i didn't expect to see old iron mask with you in any case we're all wanted by the renin's it'll be easier for everyone if you both just come with me where are the others they're waiting for us up ahead come on oh god seeing stay where you are dissidents just look at all these soldiers how badly did they want to destroy this hideout apprehend the traitor slaughter the rest [Music] sean [Music] but how impossible the mastercard he was embedded within her all along no matter kill her if you have to just retrieve the core [Applause] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] um [Music] the master emerald or i'm okay god our arms look like [ __ ] oh yeah how about that guess it's just as well i can't feel it huh you're not in agony wait are you serious hold still huh it's one of my healing arts well he healed the bandages too a sword that sears the hand of he who wields it and a healing r to mend a man numb to pain and a woman whose very touch deals nothing but wow it's like the beginning of the epic plot or something thanks zephyr for calling it out let's route the bastards and finish them off before the surviving stragglers have a chance to regroup iron mask you coming definitely i'm not about to go back all that way alone so i guess you're not planning on releasing me huh sorry you're coming with us in that case there's one thing you should know no one uses that flaming sword without my say-so you needn't worry on that score i doubt many of us could get close to it in the first place or would want to [Music] the blazing sword it just might be strong enough to match the power of a lord no maybe even to surpass it are you sure you're okay what do you mean you're wound that soldier nailed you're pretty good not to mention those flames you got shot they only hit my master course and the flames weren't even hot it's probably because they're just a manifestation of the astral energy it happens to me all the time they only hit my master core i'm more surprised that you really are incapable of feeling pain did you think i was faking no i believed you i guess seeing you stay calm while bearing those burns to your hands just really made it hit home for me that's ironic i have no problem hurting anyone who touches me but as soon as i try to wield that sword it's me who gets hurt do you wish you were impervious to pain too you realize you could burn your fingers off without even noticing right so what all i need right now is power and up until now i haven't come across anything stronger than that blazing sword the whole time i've been doing ah she's seeking the power got it you really don't care what happens to you as long as you get what you're after do you don't talk like you know me you you're right i don't get you i don't get why you're so quick to throw it all away not when us slaves have never had a choice in whether we lived or died [Laughter] all right she owned uh she owned specializes in gun and arts cost course when automotive is enabled i'm going to target flying foes and art cure points oh we have oh we only have so many healing surges okay [Laughter] because there's not an mp system we need to restrict healing in some way so we literally just have a pool for it all right okay and we now have um because we have multiple party members we have visible hp totals i can change arts up three hearts on the ground three arts in the air for six equippable but i'm sure there's also like a stick plus generally that might be for different arts later though i only have swallow blade and rising luverne and mirage is my only aerial attack oh boy these have counts uh so in a lot of tales games arts will have like a level up on number of uses so and you can see this is ground attack with a riser this air attack with a with a down first aid cost 12 cure point resurrection oh we just have resurrection out the go um ground attack gun strike [Music] okay and i can turn on and off arts as you choose we were able to do combos in the second fight we did this this game is actually open i'm like like it's not like vesperia where we need to be at new game plus like we can go like one two three launcher one two three ground detect ahead um what do you got on standard infantry rifle white one piece oh hold on we have action figure poses like this one this is most definitely like a figure pose this is a good way to check out uh how our accessories and such will look sure items can only be used on the character that you currently control [Music] damn [Music] and again i'm gonna wait a little we're gonna hold on we got a long time to go today so we'll do the dlc outfit stuff soon don't you worry i just don't want to immediately drop it in foreign like a lot of the characters still couldn't operate until way late i'm blown here get a move on we're moving to another base it's um all right we're going somewhere bright eyes when the rain use national arts their eyes glow cool there's the fire mines judith is very bad about that yes all right looks like we're on a little bit of an overworld we can get some fights going as soon as we check out yeah check out space it's rats alright orbis land of brimstone and swirling ash that's glanimede castle stronghold of lord balsaf self-imposed ruler of all collaglia i've never seen it from this close before that's it all right next to it are the gates of fire take a good long look while you still can that wall is what we've come to tear down the only thing standing between us and freedom [Music] freedom it's like water world behind that don't mind me just sort of looking at how the frames be careful if you get close to a zoogle they'll attack [Music] oh right we have our buddy all right and we have our three different uh fighting styles uh for some reason semi-auto still looks like their default [Music] yup yeah default semi-auto so so the way semi-auto works different than manual is that your movement sucks ass and then sorry that's that's not true um when you hit an attack you'll move into position and then attack but like in general like every single game i've ever played with semi-auto like it it's just not very good you don't want to be using it this is it easier said than done no excuses all right [Music] there we go whoa take a look at that oh that's that was way too much don't fight any enemies you can otherwise avoid all right makes sense if we try to take them all off there'll be no end in sight you sure won't hear me complaining yeah but it's got a glowy weak point i want to fight the enemy that has a big glory weak point antidote rock what a weird stone i sense a strange power from it we should gather as many as we can find [Music] sorry glowing spirit for it you're finished the [ __ ] out of the way there here i come i need to be stronger oh we also heal up uh the cure points on fights that's nice okay seems you found something good supplies like that are valuable never overlook them so all right got it so zephyr here is a guest party member how long till he's dead 30 minutes an hour two hours i'll remember that oh you don't recover after fights oh i thought you got like a little bit back after science next boss fight let's stop a moment to catch our breath but i've barely worked up a sweat no we're sitting at the bottom for yourself what do you want a metal doesn't look like we're being followed fail to grab these rare moments of quiet when you can you'll end up regretting it later you're the boss camping uh yup you'd heal and heal at the campsite you can watch skits and normally we should take turns standing guard but this first time i'll watch over things so you two can rest easy zephyr why aren't you concerned about who i am you feeling left out son not that but it's really weird to not have these be too deep to me free man at this point that's all that matters even if it somehow turned out you were a renin it wouldn't be such a big deal until we know who you are we can't rule anything out besides we've already got xi'an with us at this point what's one more renin as long as they're on our side so you don't see every renin as an enemy our goal isn't to hunt down and kill all renin's we only arm ourselves as much as we need to to set ourselves free if you can believe it not every danon agrees with what we're doing either are you saying we have enemies among the dennins not quite they're just not up for rebelling per se the thing you have to remember is that everyone has their own path to walk i'm not sure i understand that's okay just focus on what we have to do right now however the time will come when you'll need to decide what to do for yourself how come you don't have a scar on your hand a scar what do you mean the crimson crows all tore off their own spirit course right but your hand doesn't show any signs of ever having a core like theirs why not i don't know i don't remember anything about myself from before doc found me seriously you have that mask and you just happen to know how to fight with a sword no way you must remember something anime and indonesia's [ __ ] you remember something that's what you think believe me i wish i knew who the hell i am but i don't it's funny how i didn't have any time for soul-searching while digging up rocks in a mine still i love the firemen you're saying you've told us everything about yourself zephyr it's bad manners to pry when you've got plenty to hide yourself you're not gonna ask me about my past two only when i think it's necessary you're a real man of mystery i'll admit that said i'm not one to dig around in someone's business just out of curiosity if you remember something and feel like sharing you're free to do so for now she's done that a couple times it's like kind of tapping on her arm thank you i was in an earlier cut scene too so this whole you not feeling pain thing is that for real we established that in the previous scene why would you care anyway no it's just you know i can't imagine what it's like that's all as a slave i'd say it has its advantages and disadvantages oh on the upside when ren and soldiers push me around i hardly flinch the downsides that i get injured without even noticing which means i could be knocking on death's door and not even realize it really sure i may be numb to pain it doesn't make me immortal or anything still i wouldn't have noticed any of this if someone hadn't pointed it out to me if not for my fellow slaves i'd be long dead lying in a ditch somewhere yes the news dlc exists i'm not touching that yet we'll touch the dlc once we get to the point where we have like a master core a little more going on now i see so that's why balset's cronies were so desperate to catch her is that what it's called the jewel in her chest oh right you don't remember a damn thing do you ah fair enough i guess it's time to fill you back in well there's the seven master emeralds in the master emerald which controls seven you ever wonder why we dannon's are made to work ourselves to the bone day in and day out well when you put it like that i always just assumed we were mining resources for them and don't you think it'd be quicker if they used all that high-powered tech they have why go to all the trouble of relying on weak human labor listen what the renin's are really after isn't resources or minerals it's astral energy they're harvesting the astral energy that sleeps inside all matter and life forms and they're doing it the same way they have for the past 300 years using us dannon's as mere siphons right they have machines for minerals but extracting from denims requires spirit course any astral energy collected passes through a spirit vessel on its way to being stored in a master core why go to the trouble of collecting all this energy in the first place then we have one of them we need all that juice just to use astral arts it determines the sovereign sovereign is that the running ruler exactly five lords each doing whatever it takes to gather as much astral energy as they can and store it in their master course all right so which lord are you sean manages to accumulate the most power at the end of their contest is crowned the ruler of the renin motherland a new crown contest as they call it is held every decade or so so you see the master cores are the receptacles in which the lords store their power and we dannon's are sacrificed so the renins can choose their new ruler that's insane you're telling me that's what our people have been dying for this whole time relax hero you're not the only one not the whole thing this ain't new kid there are two things that i haven't been able to get my head around yet what business would a renin have stealing a master core and what's the deal with that blazing sword oh did we steal ball six i think the sword is a physical manifestation of the master core's astral energy as for why it took the shape of a sword well i don't know any more than you do honest and that's stuff about needing your permission to use it what was that about i'm the only one of us who can control the master core to some extent without me to adjust the flow of astral energy the sword can't take a physical form what do you want out of this you may be one of them but you don't strike me as the ruthless oppressor type i'm going to take down all of the lords i'm going to kill i never thought i'd say this but i like the cut of your jib renin very well as far as we're concerned the struggle continues either way and with that sword on our side our chances of victory just increased that is of course assuming we can count the two of you in [Music] fine by me after all it sounds like we're after the same thing anyway we win by default if they're all dead i honestly i'm still a little confused by all this but if it's a choice between this or going back to being a slave then i choose to fight then it's settled together we'll overthrow the renin-lords and first up on that chopping block is balsaf the wild beast 100 blazing blade because i could change the uh the hat with a dlc hat i just haven't maybe i should just for that huh ugh i've gotta hurry [Music] hind wave will kill me every time we haven't but yeah uh if i go to outfits iron mask is certain it's currently a haircut you can either be taking off for broken by normal means but like if i had another thing here i could unequip it [Music] so i don't know what i'm looking like [Music] [Music] [Music] terrifying [Music] another secret hideout in ulsa back not far from here we should be able to [Laughter] i was not ready for that phase get back under that wait we should be able to eat this whenever you find some make sure to grab it it's edible huh good to know definitely [Music] fishing what's this thing if i just dive in and grab the fish does that count as fishing [Music] but yeah to answer the question though there's absolutely animating going on under this this mask because you could not have it on cut it out didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to stare i know i already asked you this but are you sure we haven't met somewhere before what's so hard to understand i'm renan you're dannon there's no way besides i'm from lenagus trust me wherever you were before you lost your memory we've never crossed paths lenigus you mean the same lenigus that's up in the sky i've heard it called the renin's castle but i never imagined people actually lived up there well then where did you think we all lived didn't you see the running lords descend for the crown contest and how long ago was that well the current contest started seven years ago so then i wouldn't remember just how far back do you remember about a year give or take that's how long ago doc found me one year then no i'm sorry but there really is no way we could guess not i think we got a [Music] so [Music] [Music] oh sorry this is recognizable noise fully to me that is one enormous strain i don't think we can take it uh okay a big zugul they're the optional boss duals we've almost made it to ulzebeck watch your mushroom [Music] that's not your run-of-the-mill enemy yes zoogles are just what they call monsters alright buddy oh this one's tough but we have no choice let me know if you need healing [Music] the music there is uh recognizable that's a that's a version of the uh the the the boss theme that they've used or not that version but i'm not done yet that's not blocking anything this is a bonus boss if i were you this is a comeback later and beat me up for 15 silver points not even a black knight really [Music] guess we gotta roll with it i feel like i grabbed this one under control whoa everything's coming up everything's coming up milhouse okay what's this thing i think it's our cure back so that makes sense the orange gel has to do something mp related hold on hold on [Music] that was almost too easy hey um hey um oh yes okay they're the cats goodbye that's an unusual bird it's an owl they're often used as a symbol to represent ancient dana [Music] all right hold on all right time to learn oh okay we don't have color select wow we keep losing options damn like i don't have movement on this he had no position the only color change i can do is the flip so i can't make this into like a big uh like something coming out of the back of my head which is what i would want to do with it i want to put this on my head why do they make it worse in every game why was this best in zestiria like [Music] how does how does that system keep going backwards get lost making fashion mistakes uh yes for a couple other reasons still but fashion was very high up on the list parallax stone yo you think we're look if they think that their setup is going to prevent me from doing silly fashion things they are sorely mistaken at who i am biological weapons and all but name okay back okay people this is it we we farm sand here no sign of any running guardsmen the renins aren't as populous as the danons probably figure stationing guards in a place like this would be a waste of precious manpower so this is where the next safe house is very likely yes the last place they think to look for enemies is on their own doorstep what is assuming anyone actually made it here before the last game had a very heavy like king arthur feeling so looks like we needn't have worried come on i guess last two because as it's sourcing so that's having a different art we have a all right so all right [Music] oh they definitely want me to do the thing with the wings right [Music] literally the elephant from guilty gear elf out [Music] this might go well in that new recipe okay can't wait to see what you make you're the one making it okay maybe this is why they didn't give us full control this wing is like moving like damn yeah the physics are a lot better oh [ __ ] yeah yeah the tail is moving rules back sand farms then we have the fire mines not everyone made it a lot alive everybody knows me i'm cool all right watch out for zoogles what's this doing here yeah uh so far the last three tails games have each gone backwards more and more as far as control there's a fashion everything is fashioned at the moment it just looks like it and yeah we can we can remove our mask with the with the the with um this also we found an owl that's important we need to find as many owls as possible in the world owls are the most important thing you know all right gene it up your body is so weak is that a normal chicken that's not even a fantasy animal that's a chicken all right i guess chicken in the yeah looks like we get to sleep with a roof over our heads they just called it a chicken [Music] all right i don't know if i'm gonna be able to deal with those wings that means the correct option is to add a second wing [Music] [Music] yeah we're teamed up with shia and shia wants to kill the other lords and we're like yeah it sounds cool [Music] shouldn't you be going somewhere else isn't there something else you should be doing player you know they're gonna kill you regardless right ah damn normal wait hold on can i good i don't even hoot who who somebody said hoot [Music] now you've got to stay hydrated yep when you live in fire mines you gotta it's important [Music] this game has a very different uh like fashion system but yeah like the physics on the dress and the clothing is just pretty rad you need to do something all right what up any faster than we get yeah that's our little language bit they haven't even been named yet we're just iron masks zephyr you made it see i told you there's nobody who never would have kicked the bucket fine you were right what's the plan well we've got an ace up our sleeve and the enemies in disarray i say we strike while the iron's hot so we're finally going head to head with bolsef that's right we can't some people say balsaf and somebody say ball saf then now it is we've all been waiting for this day for far too long leave the plan to me in the meantime yeah you two need to do i have just the thing for your size stay right there okay yeah you're not wrong i bro this is probably i need to be a little more inconspicuous huh game tada i told you it fits like a dream i'm afraid we don't have any renin clothing i could find you some dannon outfits but something tells me you'd rather pass is this really that important in case you need reminding i'm here because our interests overlapped nothing more at no point did i say i've given up being a renin now now let's play nice how about you ask nathan see what he says he's our one-stop shop for info around here with any luck he might just know something ocean blue battle garb zephyr left the party god i love being called out on my fashion five seconds later but somebody just yahoo who's doing that desire [ __ ] now mario okay that's our audio call out so that's our our our audible an owl is near sign [ __ ] they do sticking skits try to be careful not to stand out too much you're the only renin around here you know i know i was just thinking about how communal it feels here even though it's only supposed to be slave quarters huh oh yeah when you put it like that i guess it is different from heavily patrolled mozgul were you expecting something more depressing it's likely a sign that balseff doesn't think you guys can do anything to him what i mean if balsa thought the crimson crows actually posed a threat to him he'd figure he'd be trying harder to suppress them no you're probably right about that all of the other dennins that aren't with the crimson crows except the renan's rule is simply a fact of life from the day we're born now probably even before that it's been drilled into us that the only purpose our lives have is to help select the next sovereign if they don't like the status quo then they should fight it otherwise they're endorsing it either way i see it differently but that's just me speaking of renin's do all of them think about things the way you do i won't deny that among my fellow renin's power and status are everything however that isn't what this is about for me i have something i need to do and i'll do whatever it takes and use whoever and whatever i need in order to get the job done to hell with power all right are you ready to get another friend [Music] goodbye i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah there are more of them around than i thought all right we need to get a lot of owls all right again you can't yeah no that's right [Music] i love that there's a button prompt to descend a ladder but i'm never gonna hit it right [Music] i'm mr braddess nathan all right let's uh rabbit is a group shitty antenna yeah [Laughter] like that's what they call them they call them bright eyes because they use that when they you do arts zephyr is cool as hell can kick anyone's ass okay the big object in the sky they just brought their homeworld well they didn't sorry they didn't just bring their own world the the the establishing bit it says that like donna was eternal and rena is like paradise right and then rena attacks so they didn't move it but like anyway what are zoogles yes that is that's correct they gave us so the way it works uh is that you find owls out in the wild and the owls give you fashion accessories you just talk to an owl that's going that's making mario noises it's great i wonder astral arts they're basically the word we use for magic we're just calling it magic it's magic they're magic thanks all right you got an outfit nath we need your help no damn never the manpower when you huh help what kind is it urgent well no not exactly well in that case would you mind helping me out with something first the work's really piled up around here what is it you'd like us to do anything you can manage no one cares about us slaves that's why it's all the more important that we stick together and take care of each other check in with that guy holy [ __ ] for details do my ears and wings have a shadow thanks in advance i wonder if something happened damn okay no wonder they won't let a side size up things damn okay i understand why they won't let us change the size of the accessories now with the movement and such of them i'm still very sad about it do the other costumes alter shadows as well um well [Music] yes yeah you can see the flowy uh like the the floyd artoria escape pits on that hey nope all right we've reached the end of voice acting town yes hmm i love that my wing just covers up a diary here i guess okay the ziony mine is like the dead mine sending us ravine one thing that's changed uh within uh tales games from like zestiria forward is that they don't have the ridiculously obscure [ __ ] side quest requirements like in symphonia where you have to open the door to the final dungeon and then leave without entering or like in abyss where you have a moment between entering a town and going to an inn that's about five seconds long where you have to leave the inn walk the entire continent to a different town go talk to somebody in that town you know like that sort of nonsense uh barks contracts like that i had no idea the crimson crows were so active you sound pretty thrilled by that thrilled maybe but i'll settle for hopefully we know now that not everyone is rolling over for the rents yeah cause like to understand they they again they're much better in this game and viseria and and such forward because they figured out that they sucked real bad uh so i can't go this way shouldn't you be going okay so i probably have to go up the other way here to stand in this ravine maybe we can find another owl there i'm gonna assume one owl per area that's my assumption oh you know okay maybe hmm hold on let's just back the way i came then yeah i'll get back the way i can wait there's an owl [Music] the master core oh oh okay so the very quick thing there said there's a master core for uh for like their elemental so anyway let's go beat up on some wild thingies take this you're finished i'm only getting started [Music] [Music] okay that's one down how long until these masters have something to do with summon spirits oh that'd be fun like if the master chorus had like ifrit whatever in them if they're elemental ram and shadow and uh gnome and those sorts of things are another staple within the tails game not a 100 but pretty heavy um all right [Music] what they're all dead how did this happen soldiers that's how are you iron mask no well why would you think that yeah i am dyron sent me to help hang in there i'm so glad you made it in the bushes over there eel hang on xion do something it's no use he's already dead damn them they've killed so many of us and it's still not enough they won't be satisfied until they've wiped us all out like pests he mentioned something about those bushes we should check them is this a cooking pot what are you doing here if i had to guess he put it there to make sure irenin wouldn't steal it so even though he knew he was dying he chose to use the last of his strength to hide it the wing is she out of here come for it i guess you think it's stupid getting killed over a silly trinket huh no clearly he risked his life for something he believed in i would never mock someone for that however it will be up to us to figure out the perfect dying act we'll make sure it wasn't in vain if nothing else this proves that the remnants can be outsmarted because you put a pot in the bush this is a hell of a cutscene you better get going we don't know when those soldiers might be back to make another sweep of the area no i would never please he he had a family you know like i'm dying i hate camping out yeah the campfire just see if we get more stuff and go to sleep i swear you can't walk five steps without tripping on a zoogle this is getting old yeah but wasn't it you rennins who brought the zoogles here from rena in the first place they're not just ordinary animals from rena each of them has been modified to suit a particular purpose what's a big dragon for in fact some zougals were originally derived from the animals on dana or so i've heard what you renance couldn't stop at just the people of this planet you had to screw with our nature too you can get angry all you want but we have bigger fish to fry so are you going to work with me or not i will it's in both of our own interests make sure to get some good rest [Music] well off we go all right all right are the owls genetically modified owls are there zougal owls algol's zalgos zalgos zalgles zowls i mean yeah yeah poodle zoo poodle i've combined lumpy with lumpy to create lumpy lumpy the most powerful person on the plant so being on manual lets me do this where i'm targeting one enemy but i'm actually just beating up on the second one here which is pretty nice you're mine i did not mean to jump there with that [Music] looks like it could be worth something oh that's our level up like we have a little experience bar that's neat huh [Music] [Music] yeah i made no money so this is why i told you about the emoting under the the mask we have to respect the people who the sacrifice for what they've lost sorry daddy's dead he brought you up a pan for cooking don't hmm to me 800 gold oh what the hell oh what the hell is happening here we i have a crystarium yup oh i get a crystarium for the dlc items for the beach here let's just fill for certain requirements for characters unlock titles which are oh this is like a greases system okay do costumes come with skills it looks like that you bites when you get the costumes on the dlc they have skills on them too it looks like that is the way i ever did reading this you can spend skill points to learn arts unlock titles make it worth spending early and often skill you don't have but you want to learn highlight it and press x doing so will give you an alert when you oh that's neat that's a good that's a good feature like yo this is next in line [Music] hmm [Music] [Music] okay so this is the beach hero [Music] so i i do get so i guess i should grab those at some point because they're all going to come with arts and things allows you to dodge once while in midair okay we got a lot of stuff going on here and we gotta increase ag gauge maybe i don't care about that maybe i care about sonic throw some more all right so then your skill gauge all right so i need to go here and i need grab [Music] so each of these are gonna have like skills with um damn [Music] oh god [Music] um oh you get like water arts okay okay so oh boy okay yeah that was just go to one it was a guts if you take a hit that would kill you then you can see this attack gauge is two attack gauge so i wonder i mean what our max gauge will look like i feel like somebody's watching us maybe there's some i'm skeptical right ah zoogles have astral energy too hmm all right okay got it fashion being tied to actual skills is not something i expected you know [Music] you're back huh sounds like it was a real ordeal out there yeah because we didn't get one for the um there aren't many of us who can take on those ren and armored stuff we didn't get a set for the wings that i have right and the armor can do with them so we remember those who sacrificed not all of them yeah they won't be forgotten glad to hear it now what was that favor you wanted to ask me wait oh right well you see so then you're wondering if i know of any places where you can find renin equipment my face anywhere with those damn bright eyes is gonna have tight security of course you can't just go carelessly switch my face back and forth unless across the wilderness outside ulzebek you'll find the fagin ruins there's some kind of old redding castle out there well with it being impenetrable i forgot but with a renon tagging along who knows maybe you can find some way in you ask me though it's a lot of trouble for some random rags if i were you i'd get comfortable with dan and garbs now we're going to look like the ruins let's move are we really going in there yes now let's move okay that forced my outfit did you see that that forced my iron mask on in that fight hearing that that fight i can't see him interesting hey shion where does your gun come from god what do you mean where does it come from when you're fighting it looks like it just appears out of nowhere oh that's transferal technology when i don't need my weapon i submerge it in empty space and when i do i summon it makes sense not really but it sounds pretty amazing huh well that way you don't have to carry around any heavy weapons or worry about enemies trying to steal them right it's a pretty cool invention you realize you're praising the technology of your enemies right so technology's technology it's not good or bad in and of itself i guess that's true what i i don't see the problem technology is just cool the skill was in the demo and bothered to have a different background because it was in a different location oh wow i wonder if i waited on that skit i didn't have to do it is the skit background depending on where i am because like say i was like we went like i just didn't have that skit go anyway am i really doing this for some lousy there are zugul's here too juggles hey you should always assume zoogle's everywhere you go right just a minute oh do we have like a combo like an invite way to call for moves with that blade and your strength the average zoodle shouldn't be a problem right give it a shot [Music] this one's mine i'll shoot them down [Laughter] she's this is my assist this is my marvel assist like where are you going it's over you picked the wrong fight as your storm take it rising library here i come you're live this was all mine eat dirty little clips [Music] the little almost two familiar equips because we're currently not allies as much as we should be sort of thing [Music] we won you can hardly see anything from here why don't we climb up higher and see if we can get a better view all right let's let's go beat him up okay once they're on the ground i can't watch [Music] looks like it could be worth something there's no post battle uh lineup [Music] that's strange to me [Music] all right we gotta find the out what's this thing just a normal potato we found again we found a dragon quest chest so these are the fagin ruins how'd you figure a place like this turns derelict your guess is as good as mine i didn't even know this place existed until we heard about it all that matters to me is whether i can find anything to wear in there why does she care so much about her appearance i'm sorry did you just bonk bonk hold on i heard that [Music] oh shortcut to the skill panel [Music] so zoogle [Music] yeah like if he idles he starts looking around to see if he's injured because the the extremely not leprosy has him like you know hey this happens to be daily i ran into a cactus so now i'm dead potato [Music] these i bees let's dispose of the trash until i'm the best i can be still striving to be on par with the lord you simply can't be too strong when battle is a part of your every day [Music] it's very funny that the battle quotes the post battle quotes feel like they have like the character relationships of a of us but after we're done with this first area you know what i mean like where we understand she owns motivations more opponent like this should be easy [Music] no time seems about right to me i want to change swallow blade of sonic thrust because i want that to be a get in move [Music] can you actually play a shield no yes absolutely uh more recent tales games have gone out of their way to make sure that all of the the i'd say more recent almost every tales game goes out of its way to make all of the playable characters like uh play differently so but i generally stick with our lead for now but like that's a big thing about tails games is being able to hi gotta break through we're going through here it's over [Music] this one's blind yeah so just to show off yeah i can just swap done here let's move you can swap on the fly so so yes to answer your question [Music] uh i could call assists or anybody [Music] you can use it as a dodge help no choice [Music] you're mine no whoa yo demons finally there it's demonfang [Music] we managed to pull through i'll be happy to let gnome know later that we did find uh did in fact find demon fang an owl anywhere there's gotta be an owl out here so we gotta scour the area for the owl there's no tv you can use art as much as you want no uh so in combat i'll kind of show off here uh if you so when i unpause take a look at the bottom left below our character there's gonna be three diamonds like this see those three diamonds over our health bar as i use a part that uses a diamond you have to drop a combo and kind of back off capacity is another very close system to it they're on the ground [Music] onward and upward yeah you can see the cure point ball is how much how you can use healing that's like a that is like tp that one's almost expressly tp for healing spells so boy they sure do buying a lot of fire around here yeah we can because like we even have an orange show like where's orange shell so like orange gel heals the cure points but yeah it feels really nice i'm quite happy with how combat is playing out in this no choice got my one air dodge she doesn't spin dodge nicely done all right if you hear an owl that's what we're here for i won't forgive you you're mine come and face me rising here that ice tornado is pretty dang powerful [Music] it's over it's over there we go air combos feel really cool and we managed to pull through [Music] what could this be okay [Music] keep your eye out for owl [Music] probably up here [Music] let's dispose of the trash oh god where are you going [Music] i'm only getting started any injuries [Music] you got some blood somewhere right the rock get lost take this these little ones are hardly worth our time less talking more pummeling cool well then let's keep moving it's like equipped like do i have to uh because if my max ag is a plus one why is it not four in a fight i don't understand about that system have to like use it enough for i don't know secretly had it the whole time maybe looks like we won it just counts it as number three or whatever some means oogles all right let's go find the poodle on noodle that is extremely abominable rock it's the most bombable looking rock i've ever seen in life all right [Music] right here goes ah wolfenbeer we're cleaning out these fights pretty cleanly [Music] i still got a ways to go really like how quick fights start and stop i was right [Music] oh [Music] [Music] i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah there are more of them around than i thought [Music] [Music] wait hold on [Music] running out of orb's face there [Music] orange gel that's good that gives me more healing great now i'm hurt and dirty i broke three legs somehow this sucks because i can feel pain all right let's go in the hole this entire side quest is just to get some clothes i wonder if those are the [ __ ] fashion is number one too much farther now if that's the uh i guess it's been a while since i had a bite to eat don't worry about me i'm used to working while i'm hungry it's no big deal it is a big deal you should eat whenever you can the last thing i need is you keeling over in the middle of a fight just because you didn't eat tapping fingers yeah well some of us renin's know what it's like to go without food believe it or not what do you mean i thought this isn't about me now are you going to eat or not i would if we had anything to eat but we don't have 20 fish actually i have a little bit of food on me you've been carrying that stuff around this whole time not sure it's going to be enough for the both of us though that's why we're going to cook it instead his dying words cook i've never done anything like that before me neither to be honest but we've got something out of all this so might as well try i am not in control here [Music] what are you staring at me for your clothes are all about function over form you should think a little she don't carol why what purpose would it serve you're right fashion over everything i just think you'd look good with a little blue thrown in somewhere hmm all right i'll think about it fashion over everything she unloves fashion oh when you rest you you cook okay sure tonight who cooks the meal oh my god mama curry bun is one of the dlc foods of course it is [Music] the the babo curry bun was uh was the uh the the big food in zesteria and such god thank you look at all these visuals this should definitely keep you guys full you really do eat through that mask of yours huh it's just waddle dee man it's swaddled oh it's nothing you get used to it after a while still i'm glad we decided to stop and fill our stomachs i've got a newfound respect for cooking now but i guess that's easy when you're used to eating everything raw it would have been perfect if it had any flavor sorry it didn't live up to you oh no that wasn't a knock on you i was just sorry that's not how i should thank you for coming for me you've got me curious now is it just pain you can't sense are your taste buds shot too oh sure my taste buds work fine although apparently what i like tends to be a little out there how so what's so unusual about what you eat rocks well one time i couldn't get enough of these things i picked off a plant but everyone else said they were way too spicy doc thinks maybe i crave spicy food to compensate oh sure food has to be super spicy i take charge of the cooking you know just to be on the safe side that like makes sense i can't guarantee it'll be to your tastes though i said i'm sorry look i'll learn to tone down my tastes in the future so let's just put that slip of the tongue behind us already [Music] these two have such a strange dynamic for like oh wait that was a title yo okay hold on what do you get toxicity in our city [Music] well off we go i hate camping out and into the ruins the master core all right so in the ruins we're looking for khloe whoa uh right sorry the rest of the game so far for the last hour and a half has been like here's shitty town with no technology i forgot that there's space uh these are space invaders who showed up and kicked our ass remember this must be it looks pretty ancient but i recognize ren in architecture when i see it i seen some beatings if it stayed sealed all this time it's not because people left it alone it's not just their technology the renins build their structures out of special materials too strong enough to withstand assaults from danon tools and weaponry anyway so how the hell are we easy that's very funny phew that may not have been a fancy feast we just had but i don't remember the last time i felt this full do the renin's often not give you all enough to eat it's never enough the renins decide exactly how much we'll have and when we'll have it and that's that we do our best to get around it everyone has to grow their own food and such behind the renin's backs in order to get by thinking about it now i wonder if they've always kept it meager so we wouldn't ever have the energy to try to resist what they've done to us yeah an empty stomach takes its toll on the body and the spirit fancy feast how does a redden like you know what it's like i may be rennin but they don't like me either i could be squeaky clean and they still wouldn't give me anything did your stomach just i didn't hear anything but you just ate how are you already i said i didn't hear anything i still have some i haven't eaten yet do you want it sure all right let's check out that i can see what's on the other side i can't just walk in it's a defensive barrier that's how it works if we want to get through we have to find the mechanism to lift it looks like this place used to be a supply base of some sort it probably even dates back to the great conquest of three centuries ago for an abandoned place sure is crawling with critters it kind of makes you wonder how they all got in through cracks in the walls i guess maybe it's a good environment for these species to propagate in that's not to let your guard down either way best not to let your guard down either way agreed i don't know about you and i'm not did it just play that line twice using two different takes i'm looking to hang around here any longer than necessary best not to let your guard down either way all right here goes [Music] [ __ ] [ __ ] i love i love audio glitches like that [Music] that is indeed what they say [Music] i won't forgive you [Music] it's over [Music] [Music] you're mine great sam ancient treasure chest a chest of some sort a renin kind yeah we should definitely hold on to what's inside i feel like a metroid's gonna be around some corner in here you know [Music] face me [Music] as well [Music] [Music] seems about right to me [Music] garland castro i can see that too xenoblade is the one i'm thinking closest to not on combat comments way different can we give up already what you're tired i'm tired of something all right i'm not giving up until we search every inch of this place she's really determined to find those clothes fashion matters dude fashion's the most important thing in the world i'm so i like shion a lot because fashion's the most important thing after killing all the lords or whatever i should just kill you this one's mine [Music] it's over our work is done here let's move i'm right behind you gianni [Music] yeah star ocean and tails are the exact same thing to me so out of our way [Music] that's one down [Music] [Music] yeah that's why i put them in the same category because they looks like it could be worth something far in a lot of ways now what are we on here a different treasure chest is this renin technology i'm amazed you guys can pull something like this off for us sites like this are completely normal for me this is normal brad this must be the former owner's old wardrobe yeah steal everything how long they've hung here steal everything don't look like they've aged a day steal everything the designs are a little dated but it'll have to do steal everything listen i get it you care how you look but we've got places to [Laughter] what is it no i got nothing we've kept zephyr and the others waiting long enough we should head back [Laughter] [Music] noble scarlet scarlet tiara okay let's head back you're in a good mood were you that happy to find a new outfit i don't know what you're talking about okay so i've got void tiara scarlet tiara ponytail and then we have these [Music] which are really good [Music] oh that's really cool oh [Music] yeah definitely an upgrade [Music] oh the noble ash is just our got it i think it was said earlier that if noble ash looked white it would just be uh [Music] so i'm told okay so then i can just get rid of this rifle well hmm i might want to hold on to this rifle for um [Music] uh uh fashion [Music] also vesperia trained me to never sell a weapon ever so i'm not selling a weapon i don't i don't i like you can't you can't fool me like you said before that this probably used to be a supply depot right but nate thought it was a random castle i wonder what it actually is who knows who knows what can't i not know something you didn't think i knew every last thing about my own kind did you i didn't say that from what i've heard a lot of the materials that were initially brought over from rena 300 years ago were repurposed for other things over time so it's entirely possible that this place used to be both a supply depot and a lord's castle at different points in time they're not mutually exclusive i couldn't tell you when the lord's castle moved to its current location though well satisfied yeah thank you you know for telling me about all that ah it's not like i mentioned anything that useful come on let's keep moving so now we have clothing now we can go join the rebellion for real [Music] oh i didn't hear a note somebody somebody mentioned a note uh and that is that uh there is a missable thingy in the game that uh there's an area where you're on a boat at some point for some reason and you don't get to go back to the boat so if you don't grab everything on the boat you can't ever get it is what i've been told i don't know much more details on exactly what it is because like i wasn't looking for it but i'm also looking for details but there is a specifically one miscible like that [Music] i guess we'll we'll find it on our own let's move i'm right behind you shion [Music] whoa [Music] oh my god swede some equipment let me take a look at it pierce emblem [Music] you haven't noticed i just have this dodge roll like this oh my god i can link it onward and upward what could this be [Music] [Music] get lost [Music] that's a really cool button i love that they just teleport from wherever they are to do the assist [Music] the way out is yeah when you use it for yourself it's like just pulling off a super when you use it for like your partner it's like an assist it's not quite a i'm certain we will have mystics oh god i can't wait till you missed it it's way too early to get messed up you want to get back to ulzerbeck yeah we better we don't have time to waste someone's in a hurry oh hey some areas may be inaccessible at certain points in the story [Music] all right how how blowing up is back we've reached our destination you know not any more on fire than it was before very karnak that's that's it that's what this place is it's karnak we mine fire yeah okay you know what there hmm yeah how's this huh happy to help okay potato thanks hunger averted and we got steamed potatoes recipe sorry for the side trip we got to learn a new dish i'll take what i can get really let's cook it next time we make camp is that why she went along with this [Music] oh that's nifty oh there's threatening titles okay like my game they got a fire furniture out of fire clothing out of fire oh look my my meter we'll see where we're out of the cupboard crap uh what no way damn it just where do you think you're going you know where moscow what good is it going to do to i don't need your permission so look at the food over on the right under the map like that when you cook it as a duration and how long the buff lasts and you can see that it's going down based on all right an opponent like this should be easy when i when i cooked earlier it said time based so 19 minutes our work is done here let's move i'm right behind you pepper keep your eyes out for the owl oh [ __ ] guards oh you need to get the hell off yeah oh i need the perfect card [Music] [Music] [Music] oh i should mention the plan for today is that we're gonna go until like five five thirty and then i'm gonna break for dinner and then we'll come back around like seven seven thirty probably set more closer to seven thirty actually and then we'll go for another few hours so that's today's plan what could this be okay how old episode's fashion seems incredibly incredibly damned at me yes there are fewer soldiers stationed at the garrison than usual they must have gotten deployed to mosul duck cool everyone please be gonna [Music] my next looks like we won oh welcome to the cave of solitude looks like this place opens out into the ocean the water's so much cleaner than what's on the surface i even see fish swimming around yeah and boy do they look delicious never mind what i really enjoy shion having a ton of like you know little character beats going on and like you know look what what i don't never mind shh it's fine oh they reset the encounters in the area barely a blip on our radar [Music] our sword is so garbage oh also known we learned demon [ __ ] right here goes [Music] our work is done here let's move i'm right behind you shion [Music] owl owl yes i love that the owl has the the thing on the owl and even has a uh they even have uh the shadow too i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah there are more of them around than i thought [Music] [Music] i'm just making my fantasy 14 yes at some point they're gonna give me the alexandrian visor and i'll be done right [Music] dig ding that's telling me we're low on uh try harder nice try go to hell god these things have a lot of help these dudes [Applause] [ __ ] that got off demon fang any injuries [Music] grill the mushrooms you think it might be useful we should try it and see how it turns out this game is missing an overworld first strike i wonder if we'll get that at some point because it feels like something like that's just a tails game thing right [Music] yeah like where's the sorcerer's ring that's the item be one [Music] yeah we have four more characters to get let's keep our eyes on the prize minimum so and you know because we still have like we're still effectively in like tutorial beginning of game land my hope would be that we like exit that and that's when we can take the break for dinner that'd be good timing what could this be modulo shooters have no explanation yes that's a good idea you got the smart play mongolian shows up no explanation you lose just here and we you all have to deal with it oh god you're right there's got to be a cameo fight well who knows what that'll be but this sales games always have them that's way future though hey you know what this game is being certain about its timeline though ow seems about right [Music] yeah this game like they've specifically have been 303 of 300 300 years [Music] [Music] all right i guess let's head forward now that we've gotten everything grab another carp it's not a fantasy fish it's just a carp it's not a vanishing bird it's just chicken uh i haven't seen a video but everybody's been hollering about yeah i'm being traced all right so our village is burning down so let's go watch and see mo's gold all right let's go check out the karnak fire mines [Music] you just crossed the wrong line i'm not done mid-air dodge hey hang in there hey damn it i love the cat ears so much stop please don't hurt the children i can't reach them in time get back home duck call stop not if i can help your mind entirely yeah okay that's a burst are you all right what about the others are those bastards still here iron mask take it easy it's all right now most were able to escape and we've survived honestly we got off lucky it's often worse when a resistance group pops up lucky do you call people getting slaughtered like this lucky this is how things go when you're a den en slave again they're making the barrels of fire ass in the background you're dead if you stand up to them keep your head down and do as you're told at least then you have a chance to survive you only have one life that's why i should wait for the right moment yes so someone else dies instead while we live another day is that what you're saying doc you're willing to risk everything on the chance that things will get better if we wait long enough but what's the point of waiting if others have to die so that we can live what do you think happens when someone tries to resist it'd be one thing if the rebel died and that was that but it never ends with only one death you've seen it for yourself everyone suffers for it knowing that are you really going to tell me our waiting has no meaning but that's i understand not wanting to throw away the same lies we're trying to protect that would be senseless but if you wait too long if you get too used to waiting and eventually you lose the will to fight i don't want that to happen to me sad cat ears i've already met the crimson crows people who risked their lives to fight the renin's rule people who know they might not live to see us win but fight anyway to give those who come after a better chance if my life is at risk either way then i'd rather spend it fighting so you've decided to take up the sword well i mean it's a pretty shitty sword yes yes but not just any sort it's a sword that you can wield but one that's also too powerful to use on my own it's the coolest sword it's the fires those who fought the remnants in the past ever had something like this on their side that's why i'm willing to bet everything i have on this sword i know it might mean more people end up in danger but okay if that's how you feel then forget what i said it's clear your time has come iron mask oh well you know what screw it let's deliberate rebellion currently you and that sword are the only things capable of driving the renin's back it's because of you that we're still alive right now if there's a way through this for all of us then i'll put my trust in you to find it doc thank you now remember what you said and don't ever abandon that conviction of yours all right right i won't you've grown so much since we first met and you've met some good people too maybe you have a chance after all oh no no dragon quest kid very fun so far uh as a kind of wacky like not a wacky tone but a wacky shift in tone in the sense that it's like the world is hell we have been slaves for 3 000 years and everything is awful forever also you have cat ears and a cat tail combat's been really fun yeah the fact that we only have our two main no it doesn't suck it's like i guess the life sucks because we're all like slaves who live in terrible zone that's literally we mine fire you know this barrel these barrels these are just full of fire that's it that's all that's in them it's fire oh if you see owl locations you can hoot now a location at me that one i will accept everything else don't but owls are fine to hooted me i'm going around a lot because like i know the owl suit so if i stick around all right hold on owl detection can you find the owl hidden [Music] oh [Music] finally oh every owl has a different voice so the mario surprise there are owls here too yeah i will say to total fire than i thought wait so okay so the existence of every owl having a unique voice means that the mario voiced owl implies a wario voiced owl huh [Music] [Music] hell yes [Music] gotta love fashion but yeah like anything else i wanna you know find on my own but if there's an owl that i miss you you like please please point out that one we we can we can do that that one no that one's completely fine i want more owls i'm currently operating under the assumption of one owl per map that's my current assumption every map should have one hour which means that the the place we went the that we got this fashion we didn't find an owl then so we might have missed now i can just go to whistleback you're back hurry on in we've been waiting for you you're not gonna ask what happened i can tell enough by the way you look right now the look on your face tells me everything your droopy cat ears zephyr i need to ask you something like we literally have droopy cat ears would you have invited me to join you even if i didn't have the blazing sword of course why though there aren't many folks out there who are crazy enough to resist the renin's like we do so when i find someone with the knack for it i make sure to keep them close plus you remind me of another guy we lost maybe deep down i'm trying to help you as a way of making amends for what i couldn't do for him but if you don't want this just say the word i'm not going anywhere if it weren't for you i wouldn't even be here if you say so laura thanks all right yes what's wrong finally dyron please help me i'm literally wielding a pile of rust oh are we just oh are we are we finally going to ball stuff got it yeah let's go do a blacksmith we've reached our destination okay this is way more important i also need to stay at the end because i'm almost out of points [Music] [Music] yo hey i would need one astral crystal grain [Music] yo look at that sword though that is wild a sword made by compo combining zoogle parts [Music] that's also a zoogle gun [Laughter] thanks good good all right we got some money and some more sp doing side quests for like 150 spl side quests is huge these ingenious structures and gadgets never cease to amaze me check out these handle grooves i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be seeing here oh my god are you a sword guy he might be a sword guy um but like [Music] no the thing i was thinking here was that um like in a fight when we win a fight we get about four to six sp when we do a side quest we need 150 so like it's super important to do all the side quests that we can [Music] all right all right everyone it's time remember eyes on the prize we're after balsa nothing else cut off the head and the snake perishes hit them head-on however and we won't make it through the castle gates let alone reach bolsef himself luckily we have an ace up our sleeve we need to do everything in our power to make sure that ace reaches balset's jugular to that end i'll be splitting us up into separate forces so our opening year has been a lot more complex than this area would be useless well like oh maybe not more it's like two-part pro more like you're the decoys missouri's opening plus the prison time they need to get in we only need to cause enough of a ruckus around the castle to distract the enemy that said we need to look like the real deal which is why i'll be tagging along too you two zephyr so who's going to take on balsa the iron mask yeah i'm counting on you and shion to make your way to wherever balsa is hiding once there you drive that flaming sword right through him you aren't seriously sending in just those two are you one of them's a renin no one said the plan was by far the biggest danger is the one you two will be facing the fate of this quest rests entirely in your hands which is why you get the final say you want out now's the time to say so and if we say no then you say no just means we're back to square one that's all and i go back to being a slave it's your life no it isn't balls in your court soldier what do you say bolsef in your court i i want to fight we got a much better sword now that's nice but for what what are you fighting for [Music] to free the damage from the yoke of their abuse of oppressors to no longer die at the whim of another to break the shackles of all these flavors to live and taste freedom now you're talking i believe we have our ace in the hole people gentle john thanks for the sub hold on to that belief and we just might break through that wall yet and what about you there's no world just for reploid i was born ready now can we get this show on the road there's a gate on your right once you leave here go through it and ride the elevator you'll find i'll send ahead a few friendly faces to keep watch on your way if you get into any trouble look at them for support we all clear good may this battle herald brennan's bloody three-century reign dear battle stations everyone he eats like a waddle d i still can't believe this is happening we're really about to face off against a wren and lord well you're in pretty high spirits for a guy going into a life and death battle i'm not saying i'm not worried but you have to remember this is the first time any of us dennis have really had any hope what about you are you scared at all i don't have time to be scared this is only the first step in a long long plan of mine you want to take down all five lords right it's hard to believe it'll ever happen but it will i know i haven't forgotten our deal see that you don't that said if we lose we might suffer a fate worse than death you know that's probably true but instead of worrying about it wouldn't it be a better use of our time to figure out ways to avoid that and not lose i suppose whatever happens i'll put everything i have into winning you can count on that shion has the final boss who's like the sixth lord or whatever you know how it goes right all right um let's head towards yeah bearer of the curse and all that five or more or fewer yes should be just above us all right and let's use that elevator thing all right the trench of flame zephyr and the crimson crows are supposed to be distracting the remnants from the front then let's go around and sneak in elsewhere is now really the time to be worrying about him we've still got a job to do y'all good over there this really feels like that one god hand area to me i don't know why then i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah more of them around than i thought okay you know what i want to put a i want a bed i i like i don't know if i want to bet but i i have this inkling that what's going to happen is we're going to go beat up the lord cool we're free and then the game is just going to become like much sillier in plot i hope like yeah we're going around and killing the other four lords but like all of a sudden the tone just shifts to like silly rather than like 300 years of slavery so we still have to take down balsa [Music] oh [Music] i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah there are more of them around than i thought i didn't find this one yeah more owls for you ah that doesn't work [Music] hahaha hell felt big i'll help [Music] you only one eye what could this be okay we should be getting close to the service entrance good let's get in there and kick their asses pointing is this someone's idea of a bridge don't follow this will be a pretty short story all right found the service entrance [Music] and there's all the fire that they harvest here it's already started we need to hurry hold on you should take the blazing sword are you sure yeah we don't know what might happen up ahead it's better to have it and be ready than to be caught in a fight without it this is another part that makes me think of xenoblade but two in particular all right the flames i took the liberty of cutting the flow of energy from the master core i may be giving you the sword but you still need me to unleash its power try not to forget that just put a second sword on my back [Laughter] oh [ __ ] oh we're getting infernal moves now [Music] yo rising phoenix hell yeah uh rising phoenix uh i've been burning phoenix who were in eternia like two of reed's like final moves that were really good but they also were really good rising phoenix has been good at a lot of tails games do we have demon fang we have demon fed yes allows flame edge to be charging exchange oh we take hp damn it oh oh [Music] uh right the sword burns us sure that makes sense [Music] all right boost attack blazing sword initiates searing swing that burns your own body able to down almost any enemy okay where the hell is if we don't hurry up and find him you're too close try to stay farther apart oh right sorry about that was i really that close i guess i'm just not used to standing right next to people you mean because of your thorns you're a surprisingly nice person what you don't think so i mean you just made sure your thorns wouldn't you can keep your opinions too you don't know the first thing about me i'm not saying i know everything about you sheesh i need to bite my head off you just can't take a hint can you what uh i'm sorry you can see the second sword now you're right i don't know what sorts of hardships you've been through after all what could i possibly know about pain i know you didn't mean anything bad by what you said the throne room is up on the next floor that's probably where we'll find balsa hey what if there's something you want to say just come out and say it huh i hate when i feel like people are laughing at me on the inside especially someone like you where i can't read your expression what why would i laugh at you what are you talking about my outfit as soon as you saw me in those ruins you wanted to say something didn't you oh it's not that it's just just what nothing you're a truly awful person you know that an awful hey you're the one jumping to conclusions about what i think you're not one to talk then prove me wrong and tell me what you were really thinking it wasn't anything mean about you i promise i don't believe that for a second and it doesn't matter what the hell i tell you you'll always doubt me please both of them fed each other yeah check it out we get the second sword just put two swords on your back it's easy just do it all right tutorial about blazing sword i'm sure in just a minute yo overall hits [Music] oh [Music] so if i hold my art button i'll do flame edge which [Music] you can hold the button longer to burn your hp even more [Music] i can't do the yes okay [Music] oh damn okay [Music] is [Music] okay so we have fatal strike like we have uh we have vesperia fatal strike hey that's actually really rad you can spend hp to a little longer at your combo a hard-won victory yeah that's we're too early for that mass saw but at some point we will get this ends now that goes into that oh oh it spends uh my my cure i guess because i have to heal the wound i'm taking to absorb that sure that follows [Music] we can cross through now good we're pressed for time [Music] i won't forgive you you're finished [Music] damn okay let's keep our eyes on the prize freezing storms it's done okay let's keep our eyes on the prize so doing that a lot is gonna spend our health over time so i probably don't want to do that too much [Music] i think i can do it with everything but swallow blade hat is the one that it wants me to do it with [Music] looks like there's still some soldiers inside the castle but still thoughts no i was just thinking about the blazing sword whenever i hold it i feel wrong somehow is relying on a sword from a running master that repulsive it's not about that it's just it's hard to explain it's like the sword is almost too strong i don't know what's got you so worried but in case you forgot that sword is the only reason we have a fighting chance against a lord i know you don't need to keep telling me well good that said the longer you use it the more you get burned by it too we need to remember to patch you up quickly when that happens a double-edged sword in every sense since you can't feel pain you'll need to be careful okay are you actually worried about me is that a problem look i need you if i'm going to take out the lords and i can't have you dying on me before that happens that's my only concern i think things are pretty quick to pick up on here what's going on [Music] our main character who can't feel pain we've got uh work is done right behind you everyone who like touches her is like harmed by super lightning then she can make a fire sword that only we can wield because we can't feel pain reminds me of uh i guess season three thunderbolts but it's so hot i can definitely believe they're harvesting fire astral energy out there is it that bad i forgot you can't feel the heat i don't think i've been more jealous of anything in my life [Music] oh [ __ ] [Music] [Music] oh you can see i'm building up the fatal meter i was building up the combo for the fatal meter well then let's keep moving he said he felt itchy under his uh helmet once that was specifically called out let's keep our eyes on the prize hello hello so fashion has upsides and downsides uh this time around uh the downside is it's very not adjustable you but the upside is that it has a lot better like look at physics to it shadows and all that so you win some you lose some [Music] equipment should come in handy okay um [Music] yeah like i can't adjust the size of these ears but i can but they look at the movement on them like the ears actually wiggle a little bit [Music] all right so i need to go to the other side [Music] i really wanted an ambush button let's keep our eyes on the prize okay 16 for this wall bone fragment armor [Music] ah damn not every armor has [Music] all right heading up here what's going on over there are those armed soldiers ganging up on a kid they're attacking him we have to save we'll see about that uh [Music] goodbye [Music] hey kid are you okay what were you even doing here [Music] working most likely dan and slaves that can't handle manual labor outdoors are put to work in the castles as servants i'm surprised you didn't know the soldiers got really mad all of a sudden and everyone ran away i was the only one that got caught i was wondering if this kid had a voice and it's good that we found you but it's still not safe here you need to get out of here before any more soldiers find you understand yes ma'am thanks for saving me oh here you can have this don't touch me you'll get blasted if you do i only wanted to it's not your fault kid don't sweat it can i take it instead yeah sure it's the key to the elevator here will it help you guys at all definitely thanks kid now get going and be careful on your way out so not too happy about a slave touching you huh this isn't the time we should keep moving so because he doesn't get electrocuted he might savage key oh [ __ ] [Music] ah ignis celestria let's see what we got here lunar blast yes you can have that you have toxicity too [Music] she don't perk if you hold the button to throw a bomb you'll fire a special ammo at a bomb [Music] huh [Music] so she has her own cool mechanics too barely a blip on our radar [Music] look at these nice wine glasses that for some reason are like lit differently than everything else what the hell is that thing a spirit vessel it's what the remnants use to harvest astral energy from damage so that's where it all ends up huh damn them the closest thing i can feel on the upgrade tree is that it's like braces yeah people have mentioned the 7 remake as well [Music] scrap me oh i'll take an orange shell those are actually big [Music] because like grace has had everything tied to titles as well that was a big part of grace's wait i see an owl wait won't forgive you oh that's not enough you got burning strength oh [ __ ] okay [Music] all right hold on i'm i'm [Applause] okay [Music] is like calling out how many ammo she has i'm pretty worn out do you see an owl wanna rest up for a bit so all right we'll grab more life bottles oh we have life bottles too for resurrects i suppose that's important this place looks damn near the same on the outside as it does on the inside nothing but fire and rocks five left i figured a running castle would at least be a little more elegant instead it seems this one was very dedicated to a theme is that your idea of a joke don't lump the rest of us in with someone like balsa then why is his face look so grungy also sucks and everyone hates i guess you could say that's just the majority of what he likes fire and he likes rocks he's an egotistical brute without a single shred of class he even makes everyone call him by his stupid nickname the wild i feel sorry for everyone who's stuck having to work beneath him huh interesting why i used to think all renins were like him terrible people obsessed with their own superiority were only out to make us miserable but now listening to you talk makes me realize that maybe there are some good ones too maybe there are a few of you that are different listen i don't know what kind of renin you think i am but i have no intention of getting friendly with you we clear crystal believe me i wasn't about to suggest we go hang out and have a drink that's for sure what are those things i sometimes see you chuck out in the middle of fights what you mean my bombs bombs as in the things people use to clear out rocks but i could have sworn i saw something other than fire burst from some of yours that's because these aren't ordinary bombs they're specially made ones filled with astral energy hmm okay and why do you shoot the bombs after you release them it's a part of my strategy the effects of my bombs change when i fire bullets of a different astral element at them it makes it difficult for enemies to predict what effect they'll have or when they'll go off one moment you're using powerful bombs next you're using powerful healing kind of on the opposite ends of the spectrum aren't they rope think of it this way if you ever get caught up in the blast of one of my bombs and you manage not to die i'll be able to heal you using my hearts hmm i'll do my best to not die then [Music] okay anyway we have an owl to go grab [Music] what [Music] what what is the sound you're making [Music] i'm surprised there are owls here too yeah more of them around than i thought i love the owls [Music] all right i guess this thing needs a different key to activate what's this thing oh [ __ ] take this it's over i thought that was gonna be worse but i like that we're in the fight arena that like we're literally in like work is done here like we're doing the zestiria missouri thing but like works out all right y'all [Music] [Music] i'll just blast burn you looks like we won might as well use these apple jails we'll have 15 of them elevator key all right yeah i'm feeling like the plan's gonna be we beat up balsa and then that'll be when we go ahead and take our break [Music] that's not your run-of-the-mill enemy [Music] don't get careless don't tell me [ __ ] that's fightable yes i plan on doing this for another like five hours or so after a break my turn god it's got health breakpoints too [Music] try harder my turn it's over [Music] point health bar [Music] okay okay okay okay okay we're down to the final health bar so now it's killable let's do the bounce [Music] we'll do demon fangs from a [Music] this one's distance it's over this was all mine this ends now consider yourself all right astral flower grants the owner oh plus 10 max uh cure point okay so when we fight bonus bosses we get maximum uh like mp ups and also a ton of sp for it yeah 111. in this world don't worry i've got your back brad that was a fun fight i like that fight had like mechanics like we had to hit the weak point we're doing dodge bits uh we're doing like there was there was a like like it was it was cool i liked that um [Music] low on points an opponent like this should be easy whoa destruction i need to be stronger [Music] costs everything i have to open up this back room [Music] boost fire and water resistance you're gonna have the garnet this seems like a good place for fire resistance all right well let's eat a orange gel then we're gonna do the for now hey about that elevator yeah i bet that garish looking i wonder where they're really [Music] oh my god my combo just going [Music] oh cool gotta looks like dark step number ears yeah [Music] it's only one aerial move all right here we go finally a boss fight yep all right this area seems different we're getting close bosses should be right up ahead that's what i figured time to introduce ourselves inspecting a healing light fully heals everyone all right so that's our the boss is a head point got it finally it's time to face bolsef speaking of bolsef how much would you say you actually know about him what do you mean he's just a lord that holds power over calaglia isn't he just a lord he is far more than that bolsef air woolsey tell dillis is one of the five lords that sit atop all of ren in society even without his fire master corps fighting him won't be easy i've seen that man butcher who knows how many zukuls just to blow off some steam with sheer braun like his he can knock you out with one hit and it's practically suicide to go up against him when he has a weapon got it watch out for his attacks that's only the beginning you can't expect to beat him by attrition first we dodge then look for an opening remember that all right sounds like our teamwork we're gonna have to actually fight this one in a knot indeed don't screw this up and get us both killed okay this will be interesting but yeah sounds like especially saying without his fire master core like did you steal it is that what we have is balsif's core all right let's come on go need to get ready first let's go all right elvis don't move so the vermin scum you call kin stirred up enough trouble for you two rats to make it all the way to me huh what a pain in the ass although it was pretty impressive of you to deliver it straight into my hands the master core you really think we're here to hand it over why of course not you see i'll be taking it back no matter what you say chance [Music] in any case this is the end for you you won't be getting out of here alive the two of you were fools for coming here now time all right level 15 valsa believe she can you serve me don't make me laugh you can keep your accursed crown we're here to overthrow you and free the death spare okay [Music] [Music] but he's wide open when he's in the air i'll shoot him out of the sky make sure you don't miss you're wrong action commands are knocking you out of the air okay here i go [Music] um i'm just gonna eat a gel now yep get the perfect dodge because those seems like a good way to get damage in also destruction has the uh okay too late [Music] no it's you and me i assume you've got a counter i'd get in half or something oh boy if you're a lord you're not falling to just this oh [Music] he an escape staircase oh yeah okay you can just absorb the fire astral energy for a fight yeah he's gonna use the fire oh he's got something infrared you all right what the hell is that difference here cool it's manifested astral energy and not only that it's alive astral energy from the spirit vessel but wait that was harvard if it was summoned perhaps he did not do it i knew it all along and you'll pay fire avatar and balsa look what you did without your spirit vessel or your master you're nothing what's up there comes a punch [Music] that monster's attacking look out that was on me i i had the i had to go in so i went for it i absolutely should not have got him okay i'm ready to attack what that's a big brick monster causing us a lot of trouble let me take a crack at it right we have a fire blade you really don't mess around now while he's down here i okay we're almost impulsive down before [Music] there we go yeah why do you not possess the blood of a renin why then would you turn against your own kind it's always been the way of the renin for the strongest to survive and yet you have allied yourself with a filthy talent you traitor tell me why why bring to ruin and devastation things like you should join [Applause] just feed him to ifrit a monster made up of astral energy how do we even even sword is made of astral energy as well maybe yeah we absorb it and then we get a summit that makes sense this has been a really cool fight by the way i'm sick i'm dead we did it we brought down the wall iron mask your face is exposed my name girlfriend [Music] oh opening all right [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Applause] i know together [Music] just like that [Music] i'm super excited to get to meet the rest of our our playable cast and even like looks like we have a rival with a water blade and like uh or maybe ice i don't know and then like you know uh all sorts of stuff i see flames dear flamin it's alvin where am i what happened the rage surging within me fueling the sword where did it come from this twisting fear that clings to me holding me in check the melancholic voice calling out to me who am i who was i oh yeah it came out uh yesterday like yesterday like depending on where you're in region this is i can't believe zephyr's not dead sunshine i thought zephyr was gonna die for sure a week you mean that whole time i was oh cold yeah just as well too when you blacked out you were on your way to becoming a pile of ash shion's the reason you're still here shion you healed me in case you'd forgotten we've still got four lords to defeat you dying would have only slowed things down what about balsa's troops we've got him on the ropes while you've been getting your beauty sleep most of the remaining reddens have either surrendered or fled you slaying balseth was the catalyst we'd been waiting for thanks to you galagly is finally free you have my gratitude well there's five lords we just killed one already without you you just did what anyone would have done iron matt forgive me elephant it's good to finally see who i'm suited to half of it anyway so if you like telling us who you used to be i i wish i could memory's still giving you grief eh i see but still no sense in beating yourself up you've remembered your name the rest will come in time so what happens now no just everything the realm may be liberated but we're still destitute you name it anything and everything starts from scratch but enough of that you've just woken up you should get a sense of the scale of what you've accomplished head over to the gates of fire and take a look at the view it's a sight too many danones died only ever seeing in their dreams the gates of fire i'll be your chaperone last thing we need is you tripping on a pebble and missing another week remind me to laugh next time [Music] elephant he can eat a burger okay we got a new title oh faster ag recovery that's actually a really good one yo hold on [Music] perfect guard gives you so it says perfect guard we don't have guarding yet on oh hold on that's uh extremely the bye [Music] okay boost attacks looks like we've got some more that we know are coming weapon types forged okay oh we got like a level and a half for that [Music] wait that says score not grade we haven't been getting grade wow wow all right also you can see now on this screen our face is revealed oh i can't put the iron i can't put the full iron mask back on i thought for sure it would be in here [Music] hold on okay that means you have to give it up though and that means you get the monocle back [Music] yeah it's the haircut okay all right i think i've got i've we've got like 10 or so minutes before now like oh we have a little while before uh i want to finish up so what we're gonna do we're gonna claim now that we've hit this far we can hit the dlc stuff [Music] like we don't know who these four are so we can't get their buddies yet i'm super excited to get to meet them like you know they have a thing that's a ceremonial owl garb or like look all four of them look pretty rad in their own different ways like it looks like we have like alpha noble who likes owls uh person who wants to be punching all the time uh super like buff like armor lady and like are our our cool spear person here so well i grabbed these but whatever [Music] okay school life oh i shouldn't grab that one that was the [Music] that's fine level one extra for the up and then the warring states pack we get samurai armor and a samurai nod oh wow i can just have a bunch of sp if i want it to yeah i'll let the balance stay the way it should be yeah there's a bunch sp down here all right new skill panels open up veteran samurai straight light school boy and then shion gets scarlet battle maiden and the new girl in class okay ray so the these don't seem to be huge like the the the all the secondaries that you learn aren't really that big it's the the abilities that are from them that are like things so because this is just like increased boost gauge boost you know it's not like unique effects you know increase ailment rate whereas like down here we have like you know hardcast resilience or max ag gauge all right now for the more important bit oh all right hold on i'm gonna take off the bandage [Music] samurai knot okay it's good that's a better hair than the peach hair [Music] ah [Music] [Music] [Music] all right [Music] title thank you very much for the sub i appreciate it oh my god [Music] [Music] [Music] you get a shion buddy that means you get an elephant buddy [Music] okay color schemes on this seem almost referential like a sheena one on that fir on the second one [Music] hold on change pose yeah let's give them that one these are all pre-order stuff for buying the ultimate edition i decided to buy them because i wanted a bunch of fashion available to myself [Music] no pants on that one all right it's like a reference outfit so there's a crossover i'm not familiar with this one [Music] okay [Music] oh [Music] wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute [Music] the sniper's dust and the ears on top the ears are that long yeah let's go with this for now that sounds good now let me check the quick and the dlcs the premium costume pack comes with the buddies travel pack no no i just got the sp okay this is not this is irrelevant to me cool i can make a character invincible by giving them five million sages and stuff no thanks right we'll get the buddies as we get more characters these probably aren't bad but how tall can you make her um that's like the the that one is specifically i think the pre-order bonus i don't think you can i don't know if that one just comes like that's just literally pre-ordering the game if i remember right [Music] yeah we'll go to the new world trailblazer for now oh it was oh it wasn't the pre-order oh all right and then weapons uh wait is that an actual weapon oh dear that's an actual weapon i'll pass on that that seems like a way too big of a boost at the mo however that doesn't stop me from using it [Music] the last element is really surprised yeah we use them as uh weapon skins i just don't have to use them so this is just a carbine probably [Music] nothing an artifact [Music] oh we got our little zugel [Music] that has that's exact stats item drops owner of the firemaster core [Music] he's extremely elvis and then fire avatar which is definitely not it for it look at that million offense then there's the mantis look at the difference here oh you know [Music] just a few numbers has a elemental weakness that means it's easy right [Music] oh jrpg needs fishing total livestock these are the previews you're getting here 320 skits [Music] here we can look up all the terms [Music] they used to be called the twin worlds back when they were cool with each other the umbrella ice has to be the no i think water's got to be the next one specifically because the guarded accessory we got gave us water immunity or stuff water resistance too thorns ah yes a master core exists for each element earth water fire wind and light which uh yup that's all of them so all right anyway oh bad i guess sort of poor timing kittens we are just finishing up [Music] though we've been [Music] you know having a good time setting up fashion for our uh pair of characters uh i'm really happy with the hat the hat's my favorite thing so far by a mile but yeah anyway so yeah that's gonna be it for now um we're gonna go ahead and take a break it's gonna be a couple hours i have a i do have another thing i'm doing today uh for dinner so i'll be back uh around 7 30 let's say 7 7 30 and then we're gonna go for another like four or five hours so it's gonna be as i said today is like a ton of uh you know a ton of stuff going on oh wow yeah water damage 50 percent two title lists so anyway so yeah everybody take a break go ahead and it'll be a good time but yeah thank you everybody for joining this has been a blast i'm glad we got
