Part 85: Update LXXXII - Featuring: Aiden's Magical Satellite Cannon

Update LXXXII - Featuring: Aiden's Magical Satellite Cannon

Music: Final Battle - Grateful Seventh




Since GEORGE! was in the front when the route split started, Opal's team gets the next segment.



*pant* *pant* *pant* I-I need a sample, now~... I n-need to do... research~. How exciting... *pant*





Are you prepared, Unit 13? A knight must always have proper equipment for any situation.



Holy shit Nagiri actually gets be part of the plot.

All it took was her dying!


There is no need to worry, Nagiri. Unit 13 did save Eden, after all.

Plus, we've got someone from Kazan, someone from Aizhen... And even the brains of Eden!

*giggle* There's no way we can lose!

Now, let us go!

*nods*



The Hope of Eden is identical to the Future of Atlantis we got last time. A full party 80 LF revive.



The second segment of the party split takes place, you guessed it, in the same set of loops as before. Just this time we're on whichever loop Team 2 didn't cover.







Thankfully Valerie got most of the fliers, so there shouldn't be too many for Opal to deal with.



Now, I could painstakingly cover what I do in these fights since Opal can't just instantly win in a single move.



But let's be real here, I'm just using the same strat Team 1 has been using since Atlantis. Opal sets up for a Quartetto, Yuno goes for X BurnJust Desserts, and Aiden hacks with the occasional gunshot.



I go nab a flying dragon.













The Toughness Medal gives +5 DEF/MDF and 3% Evade.

For reference the Guard Ring I gives 3 DEF/MDF, and could be bought at the very start of the game.






And a barrier dragon to finish this floor off.























Just think, we still have GEORGE!'s segment after this!







Oh good, just a bit longer and Opal can go back to the bench.



Our path leads to the same central platform Valerie ended up at, but Haze moved in after Nyala got got.





























Your foolish struggles mean nothing to me... This will not go the same as it did before, impudent insects!



Video: VS Haze (Again)
Music: True Dragon - 1st Encount


It's Haze. He has 13K LF but he's still the same guy we fought in Chapter 4. He doesn't even get a token new move like Nyala did.



The only thing of note is that Aiden's satellite cannon is completely unchanged, despite the Earth no longer existing.



I know I rag on Opal's team a lot for not having a delete button like Valerie or GEORGE!, but even they can casually kill a boss in three turns.

And Iod appears once again.

Meaning he showed up on this platform for Valerie, left, then immediately came back to spew words at Opal.






You cling to the slightest semblance of intracerebral stimulation, and in doing so, offer your life to it. How can such an impertinent seedling resist evolution and choose to hunt dragons instead...?



Emotion is our strength.



There's a limit to what you can achieve with physical might alone~.

However, when those with different abilities come together, a new power is born. It is possible for us to think this way only because of our emotions. We can change when the need arises. And so... we shall not lose!

~

Emotion isn't a weakness.

Correct, Unit 13. Alone, humans are weak. However, that is why we have the power to think and feel. With the emotional support of our teammates, we can solve problems that we could not conquer alone.

It is because of this emotional aspect to us that we pose questions, and perform research. And through that, we can create a better future... So in order to realize that future... we won't lose~!

~~





It is their will that brought you here...

Unit 13, humans are foolish beings that are easily moved by unstable emotions. That much is true. However... Emotion is a bond. That bond is what gives humanity strength... It gives humans the ability to change the world.

Even the Hypnos sisters get to show up!





... If that determination, shared by those among you, is truthfully what brought you to this place... Then I wish to witness the climax for myself. Humans or dragons... Who shall remain...? Go... Try to surpass fate... evolution... and the imminent end...







A teleporter shows up after we beat Haze.





And finally, we have GEORGE!'s segment of the party split.





Or not, the split just ends with no fanfare.

I mean, who could they even use as a boss for GEORGE!'s segment? We just confirmed that Emel and Aytel are part of us, so we can't fight Hypnos. Yuma went out regretting what he did, so no chance of fighting him. And we literally just fought ND, and even the devs aren't crazy enough to make us fight her this soon.

Fomalhaut is Sir Not Appearing In This Game, so he's also out.








*nods*

Oh, you guys managed to find each other again. Nice job. I can sense VFD nearby. Don't let your guard down now.

And after the party split is...



Even more loops!



I'm just going to speed through this, there's literally no change from the other floors.



Dinosauri are literally just Tyrannosaurus with a stat buff.

It feels good to have GEORGE! back.
























Guess what, more loops!







Red Wyverns pick up Daunting Roar to slap the party with 0.5x SPD for three turns and are mostly the same as other Wyverns otherwise.

Also, their version of Sonic Boom is flagged as ATK-based for whatever reason, while every other Wyvern type dragon has theirs set as MAT-based.






They can barely survive Earthquake if damage variance favors them.





All the dragons here need to be baited.















The fact that this place actually has a different name means that we've finally reached the end.

An icositetrahedron is a polyhedron with 24 faces, if you're curious.






A Massive Dragon's moveset doesn't matter.

What does matter is that they have enough health to survive Earthquake plus the chip damage from Thomas and Vivian.




This is the first non-sidequest dragon that can actually make GEORGE! fight for two turns since he got Earthquake!









Unlike every other pair of loops, this one has a connecting path instead of a teleporter.







There's something in the middle.





Guess what!



That was the very last normal dragon in the game! We are now 100% capped out on Dz.





And this is the end of Grateful Seventh.

Next time: VFD.
