Part 13: Day 24: Silence Broken

Music: Sacred Moon


......
Bossy coworkers?
Yeah, the "dream team" that got shipped off to Castle Oblivion. Dreamy for me, because they're gone!
Oh...
Too bad you and Poppet didn't get to spend more quality time with them.
Poppet? Who's that?
Xion, of course. Who else, kiddo?

A not-so-subtle reference about Xion being a puppet. Get it? Puppet, poppet?

My name's not "kiddo."







Some rings have abilities, but not this one. The panel slots in the earlygame are very limited, as you can see.







...instead of gopher!

This is a very short mission.



The chest contain a Power Unit. Power Units can be linked to gears to increase the strength. Yes, gears can be linked too. I don't remember, but the wiki says that the strength increase depends on the gear.



The Side Street has these two and nothing else. The Deserters are in the Sandlot, which is the only other area we can access. I told you this mission is short.

Music: Rowdy Rumble


Okay, two Soldier recolors... That's fine...



There's more of them offscreen and they're all running around. Great...



The Deserter's only attack is kicking Roxas. And only after you kill one of them. After attacking once, they will continue running. You'll want to kill them during this part.



Killing them in the first place is a pain since they're ALWAYS running around unless you manage to kill them. Which is hard when, you know, you can't hit them. Even Fire's homing properties can miss since it is slower than them or it might hit the bench on the sides. I mean, look at the bottom screen!

They do stop sometimes, but definitely not long enough. And there's 15 of them, with 5 of them at a time.



The mission is short, but you might spend quite some time chasing them down. Anyway, it automatically ends once you kill the last Deserter.

Roxas started to leave.



Huh?
What did you say?
Your name...it's...Roxas, isn't it?
Yeah, Xion. ...That's right.

Music stops




Not sure why we're getting these flashbacks here.

And right on time, we got our first linkable weapon. Not that I'm going to use it since the stat boost gap is too large to make it worth it.

New reports:



I don't find blocking to be worth it because they might swarm you and block only works if the attack comes from the front. It's better to dodge roll, I think.
