I just dumped 9 Packets of dark cherry warhead water drink mix into a 50oz Jug of water and shook that bitch like an unruly baby. I am going to taste the pure essence of the flavor red.

Seems like Jon is being sent to team up with Alisha. I'm sure they'll meet up with Sten at some point. Is it does it make me elf racist for assuming Jon was going to use a bow since I saw it in the shop but no he starts off with an axe. #Aqatillion

Our next character is Jon. He's an elf who can't cast magic. And a lot of the fellow elves are real pieces of shit about it. I was startled while exploring Jon's home to interact with the shelves here to have him go on a rant where he smashes a bunch of bottles. He's pretty valid here. #Aqatillion

After some back and forth he determines that she's a time traveler due to rumors of the technology being worked around. Baffled on how to get back to her own time he lends her his boat. #Aqatillion

First real boss of the game. I don't like how the health total blocks the name of the boss in battle but that's such an insignificant nit-pick. He was no match for magic rocks. #Aqatillion

The first chapter opens up with Alisha being summoned for a job. Some stinky villains are doing villain stuff and she's been picked to put a stop to it. I like that they load her up with a decent amount of supplies. Enemy encounters continue to stay the course of being reasonable. #Aqatillion

Exploring the cave is fairly uneventful. Searching the skeleton has Sten find a ring but he refuses to take it deciding to leave the remains be. #Aqatillion

Inside the church is a dude in a fancy suit sticking out like a sore thumb. Talking to him has him make some vague comments that spook our man Sten a bit before he walks through the wall and vanishes. I then proceed to startle myself interacting with the organ. #Aqatillion

Adol spills the tea on what he found in the abandoned mine. Pierre opts to return to the castle to meet up with the bishop and the mayor talks about some local legends before sending Adol to the mountains. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

If you give him his ring back he gives you an item that boosts Adol's boost ability. You can if you're feeling like a stupid dickhead also sell his ring to Cynthia at the item shop for a insignificant sum of gold and some buyable consumables you'll forget to use. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

The T4 armor still holding up the only way this thing could damage me is if I stood inside it during it's shield phase so I just.. didn't do that. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

Using the Wind Armlet the pendant I saw in the middle of the first dungeon was obtainable and it turned out to be the pendant of this ladies grandson who died in a bridge collapse. For returning it she gives me a crystal that lights up the dark. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

The kid has a health bar. I imagine if it depletes you just get a game over and a "Try again" screen but he never took a single point of damage on account of everything turning into chunks as I pass. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

After this he says he wishes he could do more for Felghana but all he can do is look pretty which is relatable. He also forks over 12 Ore for some reason. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

Dewey chimes in that he thinks he saw something related to these statues deep in the abandoned mine on a mural. So that's where Adol is off to. #Nintendoswitch #Ys

Almost every single steam discussion forum for any game I want to play is full of "Waa waa! Dei!" "Waa waa there are girls and gay people in this game!" "Waa waa body type a/b waa waa" who would want to socialize with those fucking people so stay the course and enjoy your games.

Exploring the cave Adol was tossed into first awards me the item that let's me traverse shallow lava which makes splish splash sounds. The more important is the Broad Sword that is the T3 Sword since each item fills a specific slot this eases my annoyance. #Nintendoswitch #Yes
