Part 5

So I bought the laser. It later occurred to me that I don't think I ever bothered using it before now, so this should be fun. I would have gotten the Upward Vulcan as well, but I simply couldn't afford it.

I also made Brenda my chosen friend. She can bomb enemies from the air, but I honestly tend to forget about it. I won't be showing her level gains because honestly I don't think they do anything.

We are going to Cenktrich because I said so. I'm afraid if I go to Al Hari I'll have to spend a lot of time grinding and I'll burn myself out and end up dead. Do you want that? Besides, it's no fun getting the coolest stuff out of the way first.


Before we head in, I have something else to point out.

You can rename your carrier, but as far as I know it is never actually used anywhere else in the game. I might be forgetting, though.

Speaking of the Tadpole, it has more fuel capacity than the truck. It doesn't make much difference yet, with a max HP of only a little over 300, but it's still nice.

What do you expect? Giant, brightly coloured soldiers and rolling dice?

It's funny because he should be able to see it. And it's not like they didn't approach from the air.

This is what the laser looks like. It needs to reload pretty frequently, but it pierces shields. Give me some time to get used to it and I might have something better to say about it.

You have a weirdly shaped head, you know that?
Do you have any... twin brothers? Because this guy in Bergen looked just like you.

We can be the last, we just need to take on the entire rebel army singlehandedly in the world's shittiest Wanzer. Cakewalk.
The nice thing about this game, and maybe the others in the series, is that unlike most JRPGs, the rebels are very much the bad guys.



Alright, I'm ready for- HOW DID YOU GET BEHIND ME? There's no entrance there!

Eat laser you shiny bitches!
Then he runs inside because he is a pansy and refuses to take on a Wanzer with his bare hands. Then I shot a bunch more enemies.

Well, that was a fun diversion.

Now the money we receive for killing actually makes sense! Hooray!


Two more special weapons. The Bazooka is obvious enough, while the bounce shot rebounds off walls. Well, I guess that's obvious too.

A bunch of idiots all driving the same Wanzer?

Now available are the Alpine Forest and village missions. They will be conquered next time, which might be on Sunday. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's this Balloon Pokemon you can only catch on Fridays.
