*rubs hands together* Sounds like we’ve got some awesome stuff coming up!
I think showing the screen helps hype us for our oncoming adventure heh heh.
I like the background for the festival. One thing I loved about Romancing is how detailed and expansive the backstory was for the world. It seems like that’s a trend which continues in Usaga.
The cutscene looks gorgeous. I wonder if this whole thing plays out the same if Mythe is in your party at this point? Or does he only join after this cutscene? Also, I’m pretty sure Ruby only tried to dance with him because she thought he was a beautiful woman. We know she’s got a thing for all women taller, dark skinned beauties.
I love that all the characters have a symbolic flower. I also really dig Ruby’s art! I haven’t been the biggest fan of her design TBH, but she looks so adorable (and dare I say, strikingly more mature looking??) in that art. Oh wow, and the fact the artist does Cloud/Sephiroth doujin makes me laugh and like her all the more. That’s crazy awesome haha.
The ‘shadow people’ effect was prob to conserve on animation and cut corners, but it’s done in the best way possible by making it really stylistic. Because of the way they juxtapose the non-descript people with the very detailed protagonists makes them stand out all the more. It’s pretty cool IMO.
Buuuttt Ruby staring at the fire is kinda creepy IMO. She’s got this really dead look in her eyes. Brrr.
*waves* Hello, Roy. Let’s be friends. I mean, I doubt you’ll ever compare to the amazingness which is Grace, but that’s okay. We can’t all be SABAMF 24/7.
Dude, Ruby. It’s rude to talk about someone’s weight like that. You don’t even know that man. Damn.
You make a good point about Roy, but I agree that the whole “it’s funny cuz hes a fatty fatty two-by-four can’t-fit-in-the-kitchen-door mcfatterson from the land of lard” shtick to be incredibly tired.
Glad to know he’s got such good battle potential. And the stuff about his sneakiness is nice too. It sounds like there’s more to him than the obligatory fat joke. This makes me happy.
Basically, the island is a kind of donut shape
…Is this a stealth fat joke?
No running from battles, huh? So I guess something like Grace’s Diplomat skill is the only way to avoid combat when you’re on the verge of death? Heh.
Your explanation of the hazards actually made a good bit of sense.
Oh nifty! Is Seal of the Abyss as useful when used by the player as it was by Lichitung?
The portraits are really well done. I agree that it’s pretty amazing someone drew such a lovely BG only for it to appear for a few seconds haha. I’ve heard about the novel (and I want to readddd ittt). I think I read somewhere that Ruby was the main protagonist of the novel, but I have absolutely no way to verify that.
I thought the thing was like plummeting by gravity into the pit
That’s the impression I was under as well. The game was a little deceptive haha.
The elder dragon dude looks awesome, but compared to the last boss he was pretty lame hahah.
Ahhhhh Ruby. Stop giving away mystic artifacts to cute girls!! You’re going to need those!!
She may act humble on the outside, but secretly her sin is her pride, and that pride has now clouded her ability to read, since it requires a clear mind.
That’s actually really awesome. I love that Sapphire is given some depth (and it’s even better that it’s a ‘flaw’) and helps her feel more like a fully realized person. I like the bond between the sisters too, even if we don’t see it in a lot of detail.
no subject

Iskandar of legend who supposedly became a god.
Yeah, probably that one.
