435 xenoblade - mechon attack at eryth sea

Dear Readers,

I wasn't allowed to use fast travel because of the story, so we had to walk out of Alcamoth.

A scene played where the masked Mechon and a female Mechon cohort were being surrounded by High Entia defence machines like flies. The Mechon attacked and destroyed many of them.

Melia told us we had to release the seals on Khatori and Soltnar Islands in order to reach Prison Island. I knew exactly where she was talking about. I didn't get story quests in a very long time!

Fast travel became available again and we got slightly different dialogue from NPCs in the area. I wish they were more interesting and less painfully boring to talk to.

434 xenoblade - talking to lesunia as melia

Dear Readers,

We had Melia in the party now so I wanted to speak to Lesunia as her.

Lesunia was fairly dismissive of Melia's "stunted" head wings and said she could tolerate speaking to her if we brought her 2 pieces of Marine Marble from Eryth Sea. Yeesh. Didn't she know she was speaking with royalty?

Anyway, I'm glad we can get this quest going at long last.

433 xenoblade - deciding to follow melia's father to prison island

Dear Readers,

We looked for Melia's father but learned he was gone to Prison Island alone.

Alvis explained that her father knew what was going to happen to him but went anyway to fulfil his destiny and carry out his duty as leader. Melia protested and Dunban spoke up.

Dunban said he wasn't going to follow destiny and encouraged us as Homs to go and help him as we weren't bound by their laws. We were all with him with Melia declaring "To Prison Island!"

We were able to explore around here at last. We could interact with Kallian and Lorithia and take a teleporter to find another high place. Couldn't jump from there though.

432 xenoblade - checking out melia's villa, continuing with story

Dear Readers,

I decided to go with the story again. I want this game to end. Also, I don't think I'm going to miss out on anything else at this point.

Post 278 is when I decided to put the story on hold to do missions. Yikes.

So here we are, at Melia's place. The Mechon attacked and now we have joined up with her and are on our way to stop her father ending up like in one of my visions.

I had a look around Melia's villa first. Heart-to-heart spot not yet available and a big garden with water feature. The building was weird, like some big gazebo. Probably another part to it we can't access somehow.

We ran back to the hall which took a while and learned that the Mechon weren't attacking Alcamoth. Emergency wasn't happening here right now then.

431 xenoblade - location of pepa and her quest

Dear Readers,

I got angry at this game again trying to find Pepa. She was the "cutest" Nopon for another quest but she had a quest of her own. It was called "Decoration Makeover".

She wanted a list of cute things. We had all of them except for Enigma Lotuses. We'll look for them later.

She was on 6F by the door for outside.

430 xenoblade - unlocking leku's quests

Dear Readers,

We spoke to Leku in Frontier Village for a quest. He gave us "Leku's Food Crisis".

We agreed to grab 10 Peachy Leg Joints from Deinoses in Makna Forest. 

We already had them so we gave them to him to finish the quest.

He had another quest, "Hunt for a Patron". He wanted us to ask for help from other villagers. We agreed to it. We had to have chinwags with the cleverest, strongest and cutest Nopons in the village. Sounds fun. Will do!

Must remember Leku is on 5F during the day.

429 xenoblade - enjoying the "what's on reyn's mind" heart-to-heart

Dear Readers,

We warped to the refugee camp on the Bionis Leg to see if there were any quests. There wasn't, but the heart-to-heart titled "What's on Reyn's Mind" was finally available! I had a look.

Sharla and Reyn talked about stuff. She said Reyn reminded her of Gadolt. Reyn asked Sharla who would win in a fight between him and Gadolt and I had to choose for her. I said Reyn would, by a whisker. She joked about him and his hard head. He asked about his other qualities and I had her say he had dignified qualities. This led to some joking around including her saying he could be Juju's father someday. They laughed it off and told each other they were glad they met one another, which was nice!

Nice warm conversation between them. He does want to impress her when we're in battle which is fun to see.

This was my first heart-to-heart in a very long time. I wanna see more of them.
