Not much to explain this time. But here's what happened anyway:

I decided to take a different route inside the cave in Narshe. It was there where I found the moogle named Mog. Which means now that I'm back to 5 party members, I could choose which 4 I want to use. Then I made another attempt at that cave you would jump off a cliff to enter.


That's all for now.

Hope you remembered to search the spot where Mog was standing.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

I determined that I spent enough time in Narshe, so it was time to head back to Mobilz where after finding Terra, it was time to fight some boss named Punabara. I forget how to spell it. Anyway, midway through the battle (after two party members were blown out of the battle), Terra rejoined the party.


That's all for now.

She did more than that. That scene is the apex of her character development and sets the stage for a very important moment in the ending.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

Now that Terra is back in the party, the next destination was this one lone house in the forest where we met Duncan. After that I began circling around the island for several minutes trying to remember how to find Zozo. But then once I got there, I couldn't help but thinking that MAYBE I forgot something.


That's all for now.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

It turns out I did pass something up. Apparently to trigger the bird flying in Zozo as well as being allowed to get the Rust-Aid, I had to talk to some woman in Maranda. So, I did that and went back to Zozo. The Rust-Aid opened a door leading to a cave. Once out of the cave, I found Cyan at the top of a cliff. After that, I brought Cyan back to see that same woman in Maranda.


That's all for now.

At this point things are still left wide open. Continue to explore and you'll eventually run into more of your party members.

Much to discuss this time. Here's what happened:

First stop was the Cave of Veldt. It is there where we find a character unconcious. After returning her to Thamasa, next place to go was the Colloseum where you bet an item in order to fight Chupon, but since it seemed so pointless, I'll deem that as a sidequest. Next was inside something called the Zone Eater. Two things I remember from inside the Zone Eater are this one room where you could most likely get crushed (which reminds me of Stomponadon in Banjo-Tooie) and this gold statue-like character named Gogo.


That's all for now.

The Colosseum is one of the more annoying aspects of the game. You won't always fight Chupon but who you fight depends on the item you wager.

The annoying thing is that the characters are AI controlled and tend to be very stupid in their actions.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:

Back to Narshe for hopefully the final time. This time the task was to make progress in the cave you can jump into after defeating Tritoch. At some point, I reach a white gorilla like character named Umaro. Once out of the cave, the next stop was the Opera House which featured a battle with a Dirt Dragon. The battle was so easy, it was laughable imo. Dirt Dragon was giving more HP to Mog in some of his attacks which I don't understand why, but I'll take it. Anyway, as I was leaving the Opera House I saw the message "7 dragons left" and I was like...WHAT?!" Anyway, next stop was Jidoor and Owzer's House. One interesting tactic in the house was where you actually go into battle with some of the paintings on the walls. Anyway, after Owzer's House came reuniting Relm with Strago.


That's all for now.

Mog very likely had Gaia Gear equipped, which absorbs Earth elemental damage.
The "7 Dragons Left" refers to something a scholar in Albrook mentions about there being 8 dragons in total that had previously been sealed away and are now scattered across the world.
In regards to Umaro, do you remember what Mog said when you got him to join?

Actually I don't remember. But anyway, here's what happened:

Earlier I attempted to go through a cave that required two teams of party members to navigate. This time, I went back and actually attempted to make it through the entire cave. Now I'm not gonna lie, navigation was difficult, but I somehow got through. Next stop will be Doma Castle.


That's all for now.

Every character counts so I hope you're developing everyone.

Also, be sure to take the right character to Doma and explore the castle thoroughly.

Based on this next progress report, that statement will actually make sense. Here's what happened:

There's this one cutscene in Doma Castle that can only be triggered if you have Cyan in your party. And (here's comes a pop culture reference) in Cyan's dream we see Curley, Larry, and Moe commonly known as the 3 DREAM Stooges (an obvious reference to the old TV show "The Three Stooges") Anyway, it seems the 3 Dream Stooges separated all 4 party members and one of them had to round up everyone else. Then came the fight with the Dream Stooges. One tactic I find interesting is if you defeat a certain one first, it'll eventually come back. Anyway, after that battle comes some complicated puzzles on a train. They took a while for me to figure out, but I managed to do so. Next will be an unknown cave where everyone operates robot suits (reminds me of the giant robot suits from Mega Man X)


That's all for now.

Once you finish that segment, be sure to explore everywhere except the throne room first when you return to Doma Castle. It isn't overly necessary but some of the events in there do grant some nice character insight.

Not much to mention here, but here's what happened:

After navigating that cave, it was back to the thorne room (but inside Cyan's soul). It is here where we go into battle with Xreswolf and two Soul Savers. It took me a while to figure out that the Soul Savers are indestructible and Xreswolf is only visible when your party is very close to losing. But I somehow prevailed. Now upon exiting Doma Castle, the next place to go is Thamasa (once I find it that is).


That's all for now.

Question: Have you run into the boss that randomly appears while flying around in your airship yet?

The good news is he doesn't heal between battles.

Time for anothe progress report. Here's what happened:

We begin in Thamasa with a cutscene that only happens if you have Relm and Strago in your party. They are sent by a character named Gungho to fight Hidon (reminds me of that evil treasure chest in Super Mario RPG with the same name) in Ebot's Rock. One thing I remember about Ebot's Rock is this treasure chest where you have to feed it lots of coral. The amount of coral you feed the chest is unknown so I'm guessing it takes all the coral inside the cave to pass through. Though I will admit, the whole "Give me the coral and you can pass" reminds me of Belome's Temple in Super Mario RPG where you can access a room if you give him the Temple Key. Anyway, once Hidon was defeated, the next place to go was the Figaro Castle basement. As the castle was heading back to Figaro, it bumped into something unknown. After going through another cave-like labryinth, we find that the castle got semi-destroyed during the unknown bump.


That's all for now.
