Reks
All black: someone asks if you can hear me. Eyes slowly open. A man in
front of us has awfuly crusty hat hair. I have never seen hair like
that, actually I have but he worked the grease fryer at an
Arby’s. Greasy asks if “I” can stand. It turns out “my” name is Reks am
“I” am in Nalbina Fortress. Reks is seventeen and is an orphan living
in Rabanastre.
Reks and the party he is with are attacked by sworded men. Do I get to
fight? Nope! More cut scene. Greasy – name Basch - kills all of
them. Reks is alarmed to see all this bloodshed.
Enter the tutorial mode. Learn to look, walk, and talk. Try it out by
talking to the guy by the gate. Run up to the gate to open it.
Basch tells us to open the party menu, I used to open the party menu a
lot more in college, but now that I am old, not as much anymore.
<<frown>>
Time for another cut scene. A spaceship attacks us and its name is
Tornberry. Start attacking it – don’t worry it is very unlikely that
you will die. Basch Shoots green fire at him. Tornberry has a Scottish
accent. Tonberry escapes – more like lameberry. The attacking party
runs through a castle. Reks asks if Vossler has died. Basch tells Reks
“men like him don’t die places like this.” It looks pretty nice – I
wouldn’t mind dieing there. Basch tells Reks that we need to find the
king because the attackers may kill the king the moment he signs the
surrender. Run around the halls and look at the minimap for the green
flashing rectangles - those are the doors. Go up them and on the second
floor is a save crystal. Go up and around to the next set of stairs.
Someone says intruder and attack us. Reks says he will stay behind to
fight. Let the battle run on auto pilot. Keep attacking the enemy with
the lowest power. If you kill off one of them, press X again to attack
another one. After defeating the three, don’t go up the stairs, go
through the passage door.
Run around and see the cut scene of a bunch of dead guys. Reks gets all
huffy-breathy and sees the king lying dead in his throne. The greasy
captain gets right in Reks face and stabs Reks. Basch killed the king
because his majesty was a traitor. Guards rush in and seize Basch and
let Reks die. A Black Pants man enters and Basch says “we will never
surrender to you.” Then black pants says that the Empire owns Dalmasca
now.
As he dies, Reks yells out “Van!” A little strange that Reks’ last
though was of his ride. I mean even if it is a totally boss 1978
conversion van with the indirect black lights, built in keg-erator, and
a mattress in the back, shouldn’t he be thinking of his family.
