Part 48: Day 194 - 197: Like It Should Be

Music: Sacred Moon


I actually managed to fit in all the Level Up panels this time! I just bring 3 Cures, but there's still plenty of Curas.



This is the first free item in a while. The quests for the previous items are mostly easy, but still.


No. The counter for those 30 enemies started after talking to Xigbar, and we have to complete this quest before finishing all the available missions. We can do previous missions for this, but I won't bother.
For comparison, by the time I finished the available missions, I defeated like 7 enemies with Limit Breaks. Needless to say, I won't bother with this.



You might notice that we're missing Mission 59. I think you guys can guess how to get it.

It's time for us to fully experience Wonderland's gimmick. No, it's not examining flowers or hitting cages.

The rabbit still runs like a drunk, if you're wondering.









To my surprise, there's nothing here.

And then there's a shot of the Rabbit running into the hole. You know, the only other exit?


All of these are weak to Fire. The Grey Caprices are also weak to Aero, which is why I brought those two magics.

Dark Ingot. You can see that we have over 200 Hearts already. The Blizzard Plants give around 30 Hearts, the Grey Caprices give around 45 Hearts, and the Pink Concertos just give around 15 Hearts. Wonderland is great for collecting Hearts.
I would say that it's better than Phil's training, but the end-of-mission Hearts multipler exists, so Wonderland's later missions is better. Especially when there's no Sapphire Elegies.






...How aren't you two caught already? You're pretty much right in the cards' path!




tierce (noun):
1. another term for terce (a service forming part of the Divine Office of the Western Christian Church)
2. an organ stop sounding two octaves and a major third above the pitch of the diapason (typically eight-foot pitch)
3. (in piquet/a card game) a sequence of three cards of the same suit
4. the third of eight parrying positions (in fencing)
5. a former measure of wine equal to 1/3 of a pipe, usually equivalent to 35 gallons
Yeah, I have no idea what Luxord is referring to. The closest one is the third definition, but even that doesn't really work.



Shining Gem and Dark Ingot.

Back in the Hedge Maze Entrance, one of the entrance is finally open. It's time for the gimmick. The chest has a Hi-Potion, by the way.

This area is called White Rose Hedge Maze.



A few steps later...







Now we can see what Wonderland's gimmick is: A stealth maze


The card won't move, but it will sometimes yawn, thus having their field of vision reduced.

Thankfully, we have the minimap and the maze is very linear, so it's easy to not get lost. I'll post the map everytime we go to the mazes (yes, there's another one). Green means badges/treasures, purple means targets, and oranges means cards.


Commanders are basically just like Sergeants, but tougher. You can really feel the



Aero Recipe. The Unity Badge is right in front of a card. Apparently they don't care about the badge mysteriously disappearing. Or maybe the badges are visible to just the Organization members?


These two cards just move in a circle.


We need to wait until both cards are yawning at the same time. So of course, that's cue for one of the card to finish yawning just when I tried to run past them.

If we get caught, we're brought to the spot of the last Commander. At least this game doesn't force us to do it from the beginning.

This chest has a third Dark Ingot. This mission is just throwing this on us.

I didn't bother showing the rest of the Commanders because they're really not that interesting. I just mostly try to get hit and use limit to at least try to fulfill Xigbar's quest.




Luxord gave no fucks about the cards' heads.







At least the game didn't make us go all the way back to the start.

Naturally, we won't actually see the content of the report right now.
Music: At Dusk, I Will Think of You...

Twilight Station Tower: 40
Sea-Salt Ice Cream: 73






There's actually bell sounds here. I think this is one of the few times the bells actually ring.






Music: Crossing the Finish Line

Another Dark Ingot? Okay then.
