In Dalmasca
The narrator-n-spell describes how Dalmasca falls to the Archadian
Empire, and Princess Ashe (the bride in the wedding) kills
herself. Basch Fon Greasy was put to death for killing the king.
A new scene of waterfalls. This may be the Hoover damn. Is that Meg
Ryan? Oh, it’s not, just a kid named Vaan. He is standing in
exceptionally clean and architecturally impressive sewers that contain
three rats.
When you have control of him, kill all of them (look for the red spots
on the map). After killing them, Vaan tells his friend Kytes that he
has “work” to do real; suspicious like. We know it is not work that he
will be doing.
Vaan emerges from the sewer and the camera descends on the town. The
town is Rabanastre and it is two years after fall of
Dalmasca. Rabanastre is under the iron grip of the Empire. However, the
town doesn’t look that bad. In fact, the village would have a whole
exotic, Morocco, Bedouin feel too it except that everyone is either
Aryan or a giant lizard. Some guys in armor with English accents steal
from a fruit vender. Probably trying to steal limes. Really, if this
petty crime is the most oppressive thing the Empire does, I don’t think
the people of Rabanastre can complain. Vaan pickpockets from the
Knights and is able to disappear into the crowd. For tyring to impress
upon us the dread that is a marshal state, the music sure is upbeat.
Vaan doesn’t get far because he runs into Cindy Brady. Her
name is Penelo and she accuses him of stealing. She tries to be all
Robin Hood and return it for the Dalmascans. Vaan, even for a thief, is
a real prick. He steals and doesn’t share, steals bread, and doesn’t
work for their friend Migelo. They discuss how hard and poor they are
even though they are both wearing immaculate and custom tailored
clothing. A huge airship passes overhead as an excuse for a quick
up-skirt shot of Penelo (keep in mind the instruction book lists here
at 17 years old – yuck!) Vaan says he wants to be a Sky
Pirate. However, that vest of his is saying more “Pirates of Penzance”
than “Sky Pirate”.
Penelo smiles because, well, I don’t know why. Penelo tells you to lend
a hand to Migelo. I think “o” is added to anything to make it sound
exotic. Lets see: check your mapo and head southo to the lowest branch
of the towno. Ya it works.
Using your map, head towards the southern pocket of the town. Everyone
either talks about how Rabanastre is in lockdown because there is a new
Council or about how horrible the Empire is.
When you get into the generally southern quadrant of town, Migelo tells
you that he lost some foodstuffs. He rambles and wants us to fetch
Kytes (the other kid in the sewer) back from the bar. Vaan says it
“sounds wild” and I can’t tell if he said that sarcastically or
fearfully. Press select to access your map and head towards the
flashing red X.
The destination is a tavern and there is Kytes. He explains that he was
looking for a courier and discovered why the courier got lost. Vaan
looks at a picture of a tomato-head monster that is tacked to the
wall. Tomaj shows up and says “nastiness” is stopping the
couriers. Vaan volunteers to kill off the monster. Tomaj explains bills
and bounties.
