A little further into the game, i finally reached the point of the Leviathan ship but more over i would basically pretty much like to say about the parts before

So after clearing the mines, theirs a fairly mediocre Basch returning to Rabinastre for the first time in years, but more over, you find out that Penelo has been kidnapped.. what surprised me, is, i assumed this was left about of the American version or read something along those lines, or maybe the Japanese version?..

Basically these people that hate Balthier, and i cant see how thats difficult to do, have taken Penelo, long story short you fly on a totally cool airship to rescue her, but first you must go to this remote island in the skys, goverened by Ondore, im pretty sure this is in Arcadian teritory but not actually controlled by them on the Count larsa is also living there and hes related to Vayne.

Amusingly or not the conclusion to this is rather underwhelming, i mean after reaching the end of the mines we basically get a boss encounter but instead of fighting, you … run away?.. and fight at the same time.. only 4 of them and 6 of you but oh noes.. you cant win apparently… meh thats a load of you know what as.. i managed to kill one in one quickening move.

eventually you find out that Penelo has been taken to Ondores place, she was origionally going to be arrested by the judge for being around the mines etc but Larsa the kid brother of Vayne? helped her.. which is cool i guess

the part next rocked i mean you walk around saying im captain basch, dont listen to Ondores lies, etc which leads the insurgents to finding you arranging a meeting with Ondore, who betrays you for a reason since he knew you could rescue ashe from the judge in his own way.. hes not all that bad eh..

i like this game because it pretty much has a great deal of stuff going on at the same time, but also because it doesnt always solely rely on long boring dragged out dungeons with random counters every 2 seconds  to make it drag out for hours before the exit, then story scene..  i think on average i bet each dungeon in like 20 minutes or so.. im currently 15 hours in, and so i could guess, around 20 percent through the game

Penelo <3
