Really it should read more like this.

"Enclose (Level 3 Spell). Effect: Win the Game"

Grandia is not shy about giving you things that are game-breaking.

Which is why Time Gate is so weird.

Damn, Liete. You got some serious power in that body. I can see why you didn't want to get involved, it'd be trivial and also you'd have to go questing to find your way back home again.

I should check and see if Liete can solo the remainder of the game without too much grinding. I don't think base-level Liete can trivialize everything quite like base-level Gadwin could, but with the right equipment and just enough levels to unlock all her spells, I bet Liete could be scarily effective against most of the upcoming bosses.

Welcome back!





: Tell the Spirits what you hope for.

: Once your wishes reach them.... The world... humanity will change once again.

And we're given control here.



: But I do know ONE THING. Juss... you're OK!

: All this "truth" and "harmony" stuff goes right by me.

: But... Juss, you can DO IT!

: So just take care of business and get back here, OK!?

Okay, so maybe I lied about there being no more NPC chatter after we left Zil Padon.

: Stop making it difficult! Just take care of business! You're the only one who can!



: with people. Only the Embodied One may enter. So it is said.

: You, Justin. Accepted by the Spirits. You shall enter here.

: Enter, Hero! And write a new page of History!!

Eesh, even Liete's getting in on the double exclamation marks.

: You who brought people's hearts together shall make them one with the Spirits once more. Just make your wishes known to them. Justin, fear not.



Well, with no one else to talk to, we might as well get on with it.





: But here I am. Here I am, about to learn the answer.

: I have come to find what you Spirits and we humans have lost... and what we need to protect.

: I have come to find what we will need to build!

: That's what I have come for!



And of course each step removes the platforms that lead backwards.

: have been repeating the same, tragic mistakes over and over again. Just like the mythical Icarians! We have let Leen....

: We have allowed Leen to DIE!

: And now Feena...! All we are doing is repeating the tragedy again! Are we humans so weak...!? Can't we CHANGE things?!



: We can CHANGE our destiny!

: Enough of all this! No more sacrifices!

: I can't stand the thought of seeing more sad faces!

: I want to break the chain of sadness and build a world of harmony together with all you Spirits!

: So PLEASE...! HELP me DO IT!



The Spirits have heard Justin's wish.



And congregate into a bright light.



And form another Spirit Stone. A chance to start over again. A chance to get a re-do of all the sad myths.

A chance to repeat the same mistakes that led us to this point in the first place.



: Give me the power to fight! The power to build a new future!





Once again, the Spirits listen to Justin's wish.



And give him the power to fight.





The camera circles around Justin several times here.





: The myth of yore has come to pass, Justin. You have finally obtained it! The power given to the Icarians to bring humanity together with the world!

: NOW I finally understand!



: The wishes of the Spirits are sure to reach them BOTH! Feena, and Mullen!

And so we've done it. We've received the blessing of the Spirits, and gained the ability to fight Gaia and build our own future.

Now all we need to do is convince Mullen and Feena that we've found Leen's new path.



: But how...?

: It seems that Gaia has begun the final stage of its metamorphosis.

Oh dear. That doesn't sound good.

(Video plays to the end of the update.)







Gaia seems to be shifting around.



Oh, it's molting.





And starting to stand upright.





Yeah, Gaia.... is bad news.



And its shooting crap out of its wings.

Welp. See you next time!
