Still playing Breath of Fire 4. Because I had met the 20 faerie requirement I backtracked to Njomo to get the last skill she teaches. Then I went back to the ruins where the Endless are summoned and exploited a trick I had learned a little while ago to grind for fast levels. In this case, I used combo magic on Bots to "burst them open", then healed them, waited for them to "return to normal", rinse and repeat. You can do this up to 8 times and each time you do it doubles the EXP gain. So, needless to say, after doing it to a few clusters of Bots for a bit my party are now in the 30's, give or take. Considering I've had this game since it came out I'm surprised to just learn this little EXP trick. I also got my first skill from Abbess before finally moving on with the plot. I absolutely loath this iteration of Zig and his crew due to their sexism against Nina and Ursula. Though Ursula does get some fun scenes in it, such as nonchalantly shooting down Kahn and her terror over the harmless sea lice. But I HATE the minigame involving Nina and Iggy. The blubber bottom recovers from getting bopped on the head too quickly for Nina to charge him. But I managed to do it, with only a few seconds to spare, so no time bonus. So, after the girls proved their worth the party set sail. We then fought the fake god on the Island of Fire before making it to Lyp. I then set sail again to find the Sea Dragon and found him on the first try. Then I did some fishing at the ocean spot and managed to catch everything except Sailfish and Whale, though I know those will require a stronger rod, as the Bamboo Rod struggled with just the Bonitos and Flatfish, which are sort of a mid-tier strength fish in that spot. Taking a break for now so I can clean my apartment, as I have an inspection coming up.
