freshfeelingThis session was played on October 7, 2018, a couple of weeks after the prior session. It wasn't terribly long in general, and it began with some minor technical issues. The good news is that the technical issues were either caused by (or resulted in?) changes that resulted in slightly clearer/better audio in general.
The main goal for this session wasn't really plot progression at all, but rather doing propositions and, while doing so, possibly fight a few random battles to get my levels feeling a bit stronger. On some of the propositions, I noticed I was actually losing money. I was resetting when Faris was alone and forced into a random battle so we didn't even enter a fight until after the 10 minute mark.
This first random battle was at Fovoham Plains - a battle map that was new to us, since the plot battle we did here in Chapter 1 was unique. There was a Bull Demon, a bird, and... well, they basically sucked. It was a nothin' battle.
Next was a weak monster battle at Lenalia Plateau. It was also very boring, especially once a few of the enemies were infatuated and/or frogs. I tried to drag this one out by weakening a chocobo.
Every single other enemy was a frog and Aitorn the chocobo was stat broken into oblivion. Aitorn was surrounded by my team so it couldn't move, and was incapable of any meaningful action other than healing itself and my team. We ended up drawing this nonsense out for over 40 minutes. Levels started at 22/20/22/23 and ended at 25/23/25/25... so it made a difference!
This puts us near the "par" of the story battles right now. We saved in Dorter.
