Where I Currently Am: Conde Petie Mountain Path
Stuff Did Today: Upon entering the Outer Continent we came upon the temple at Conde Petie where we talked to some dwarves who seemed to do business with some other Black Mages which interested Vivi very much. We discovered they lived in a forest near the temple, so we went there and discovered a village run completely inhabited by them. Apparently, some mages awakened and wanted to live away from humanity, whom they no longer trusted. The bad news, many have stopped functioning a year after they were created... Anyway, Dagger remembered that the dwarves mentioned a sanctuary beyond the temple. We returned to Conde Petie where we found that to get to the Sanctuary we had to go through a marraige ceremony. After Zidane and Dagger were married... along with Vivi and Quina we were allowed passage. On the path past the temple we bumped into Eiko a child with a moogle compnion who could also summon Eidolons. We ran into a large Hill Gigas on the path who refused to give us its Fairy Flute... so on we go...

Status & Notes: 

Didn't get quite as far as I wanted... but really I wasn't far off. For those of you wondering I spent like 20 mins trying to get the Fairy Flute from the Hilgigras... and then decided it wasn't worth any more of my time. Silly, pain in the butt low steal rates. Oh well.

Wanted to talk a little bit about some references in the game to previous Final Fantasy games... There are plenty of costume references... When you first bump into Dagger she's wearing the costume of a FFI White Mage. Freya's outfit refers to the Red Mage in FFI. A slightly less obvious one is Eiko's apperance is referring to the Summoner's costume in FF III. I've already mentioned the story from Final Fantasy II being told by Ramuh. The dwarves in Conde Petie are an obvious reference to the dwarves in FF IV with their motto being changed slightly, and the auction house in Treno is a throwback to the Jidoor auction house from FF VI. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch more too.

Alright, goals for today. I'd say there's an outside shot at me getting through Disc II today. Still very few sidequests to get in the way and all. If not, I'm guessing I'll get pretty close, but as always, we'll see how it goes.
