Oh joy, we can see what atrocities the ISDF can get up to with two more True Dragon samples.

It really does irritate me that the game never brings up how the only reason Yuma wants power no matter how self-destructive it gets is because he was raised to want it.
![](7-Nagumo.png)
![](11-60-8.webp.jpg)
Also because, again, Akutsu made it clear that he'll be thrown away the moment he falls behind.

Same rules as the last Intermission, we have a few marked quests we have to do before we can move on to chapter 6.

Clearing out Preloma left us with just enough Dz to make one thing right now.
The final level on the Skylounge gives the third set of dates, which also give out a lot of really good gear. However, I want to wait till I have everyone's IDs so I can knock them out in one go.
![](46-60-36.webp.jpg)
I upgrade the Reference Room to see if it unlocks that door in the restricted section.

As you might expect from this game, the vast majority of NPCs have the exact same lines as before.
![](51-60-41.webp.jpg)
![](52-60-42.webp.jpg)
The Sway Ring is an accessory that gives +10% evasion. Combined with Opal's SPD Acupressure you can get a whopping 35% dodge chance!
Shame that VFD is a hyper aggressive game and no one picked up Idol's Miss React so evasion isn't really important.
![](53-60-43.webp.jpg)
I also grabbed Valerie a set of Phazer Rings to kill the chance of an enemy attacking her before Brave Sword can land.
![](54-60-44.webp.jpg)
I then completely forget to check the door.
It's still locked, by the way.
![](55-60-45.webp.jpg)
The Eden refugees are the only generic NPCs with new lines.
![](56-60-46.webp.jpg)

Wounded Huntsman: I was getting my arm checked out in the Infirmary, but it got so crowded they had to kick me out!

Disoriented Girl: *cough* *cough* N-No matter where I look, I can't find the Infirmary...
Although there seems to be a trend here...

DIRECTOR MAN.
![](68-60-56.webp.jpg)
IMPART UNTO ME YOUR SECRETS.
![](69-60-57.webp.jpg)
Director Yoshida: My job is to analyze your fighting data and make sure it reflects accurately in 7th Encount. That's why I know everything there is to know about you guys, especially regarding battle! From what I can tell, you should be able to push your battle abilities to the next level! But you're probably wondering how you make that happen, right?
![](70-60-58.webp.jpg)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Director Yoshida: EX Skills are called such because in order to use them, you have to expend a full Exhaust Gauge. They're the most amazing, perfect powers in existence! But in order to master a class's EX Skill, you'll need an EX-pert! Someone level 50 or higher! Does that sound impossible? Don't give up! Just ask away. Which EX Skill are you interested in?
![](71-60-59.webp.jpg)
Just like 2020, each class has to do a small sidequest to unlock their EX Skill. Samurai in particular has to do one for each sword style.
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! The guy who raised Yuma should know all there is to know about the Samurai class. Go seek guidance from Yoritomo on the Medical Floor. He'll coax out your ultimate form! Make sure your leader is a Samurai who's level 50 or higher! Your sword will overcome all!

![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! The guy who raised Yuma should know all there is to know about the Samurai class. Go seek guidance from Yoritomo on the Medical Floor. He'll coax out your ultimate form! Make sure your leader is a Samurai who's level 50 or higher! You will see the duality of life!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! As an Agent, the ability to gather information is absolutely necessary. As a test of your skills, try hacking into one of the PCs on the Development Floor! Make sure your leader is an Agent who's level 50 or higher! Work those magic fingers!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! There exists a hero who fights only with his fists... Yes, I'm talking about that badass hero! You must go fight against him in 7th Encount! But first, meet up with him in the Main Plaza! Make sure your leader is a God Hand who's level 50 or higher! Fists of fury, go!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! Put 1,000 Az into the vending machine on the Conference Floor, then hold down the change button! If you're lucky, you might get a super rare duel card!
![](72-60-60.webp.jpg)
They aren't even trying to hide that Yuno's playing Yu-Gi-Oh.
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! Do you know the creature that holds the meow-stical ability to soothe hearts? Go to the cafe once you rescue them all! If you use it as usual, you might just think of something! Make sure your leader is a Fortuner who's level 50 or higher! It'll be purr-fect!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! According to my research, there's a secret tome about Rune Knights hidden in Atlantis. I'm sure Eigur would know its whereabouts. He's the best Rune Knight there's ever been! Make sure your leader is a Rune Knight who's level 50 or higher! Good knight, and good luck!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! There's a book somewhere in the Reference Room called 666 Sights of the World! Find it! Knowing everything about the breathtaking sights of the world may help you reach a new horizon. Make sure your leader is a Mage who's level 50 or higher! It'll be a-mage-ing!
~
![](41-Opal.png)
Director Yoshida: Let me give you a hint about how to acquire that EX Skill! Do you know of an elusive dragon in the Kazan Republic called the Noble Rosier? Go get its claw! The Noble Rosier is said to only appear in front of a high-level Banisher. The best Banisher in all of Eden should know what to do with that claw! Bring it to Brijilt! Make sure your leader is a Banisher who's level 50 or higher! Banish all your negative thoughts!
So, we have to go talk to Yoritomo (twice), go hack the mainframe, fight Blaster Raven, buy cards until we get the secret rare, rescue every cat in the game, talk to Eigur, read a book, and go fight a dragon. All on top of whatever quests we have to do for the Intermission.
We're going to be here for a while.
![](73-60-61.webp.jpg)
Let's start off with good ol' Valerie.

![](63-Eigur.png)
I'll give you a hint, Eigur:
![](81-60-68.webp.jpg)
It isn't you.
Eigur's mostly the same from his fight back in Chapter 2, only he traded out Offense Stance (1.7x ATK) for Power Rune (3.4x ATK). I played around a bit before hitting the Delete Button and he didn't pose a threat.

System Message: EX Skills can be learned just like other skills, by allocating SP in the Skill menu. You must have a full Exhaust Gauge to use an EX Skill. Use these skills wisely in battle.
![](89-60-76.webp.jpg)
![](63-Eigur.png)
![](90-60-77.webp.jpg)
That's Valerie taken care of.
![](91-60-78.webp.jpg)
So let's go deal with a dragon real quick.
Next time: Dragons, ethical dilemmas, and Kirino Ayafumi being a dork.
