I did that a couple times when I was in
college. Now I'm hungry for some Nick
Burgers...
To get this thing started, we've got to
talk to Elazul. He won't say or do anything, and I'm not sure how
many times we've actually gotta try it. But eventually, when we
leave the room and come back, he'll be gone. That's our cue to go to
the Tower of Leires again.
Going back up there a second time
reminds me of climbing the Campanile at South Dakota State
University, where I went to college. I remember doing it at least
once, the first year I was there, with my roommate that year, and I'd
at least intended to go again, even if I was in crap shape for it.
And just like climbing the real thing, it's not that climbing Leires
wasn't enjoyable. It's just that it was tedious as hell is all. It
was exactly the same as the last time, save for the fact that Elazul
could actually fight, whereas Pearl could not.
And of course, when we get to the top
this time, there's a cutscene between Pearl and Blackpearl,
essentially reenacting that “I Am Your Father” scene from Empire
Strikes Back. The gist, in this case, is that Pearl's going to have
to be the savior of her people, but Elazul won't have her die to do
it like some cultural legend says she's got to. And of course,
there's going to be a boss fight to end the quest with.
This fight with Blackpearl isn't an
especially hard one, really, or even all that long of a fight. It's
just that this was one of those ones that makes me think I'm losing
my skills here. As I said, this wasn't a long fight, but it took
longer than it should have because I just couldn't connect with
anything. Oh well, it's over now, and there's only a couple chapters
left of this Jumi thing to go. I'll decide how much more of this
game I want to play from there.
Like I said a couple times before, it's
not so much that I'm not liking the game. I am. It's just that I'm
getting bored with it, I think, and since I've got the option of
actually finishing it now, I might do that instead of just walking
away from it. I haven't really decided just what I'm going to do
yet.
And I'm getting near the end of Final
Fantasy as well. If I can't actually beat it with my primary party,
I should be able to with my all-monk team. Looks like what I read
there is proving true. I just hope I've got my levels high enough
and enough of the right supplies for that.
At any rate, no matter what I do next,
I'll see you all soon. Keep gaming, stay safe, have fun, and DFTBA,
folks!
