Part 2: 'Varmint' Extermination; Fun Factor Increasing

We talk with Cindy and explain the situation. Apparently... Cid seemed to realize that this was going to happen so he told Cindy to offer us a job getting rid of some monsters in the area that are causing problems and we'll get paid for it. Well... with no funds there's little choice so we agree. Cindy is nice enough to gift us 1,000 gil though.

So we head out to eliminate the monsters. But not before I bought better equipment and changed up Noctis and co's attire as well as suggested by my walkthrough. To be honest... getting lost is actually quite easy. It happened to me fairly quickly. YES. THE AREA IS THAT BIG. Guess that's going to happen A LOT with an open-worlded Final Fantasy.

Either way... I defeated the first pack of monsters before I ended up getting lost. The game jumpscared me a few times though with some unexpected enemy encounters but I survived them all pretty much. It turned into night and Cindy warned us of daemons that roam at night and I wasn't about to risk a Game Over this early in the game so I returned to Hammerhead, sold some stuff, and rested for the night. No level up though. I wasn't able to do enough.

Well I continued the next day and took out the rest of the monsters. Afterwards, we get a phone call from Cindy. HOW THE HELL DID SHE GET NOCTIS' PHONE NUMBER?! POSSIBLE STALKER ALERT.

Either way... we inform her of our completed mission and now she gives us a new mission. To track down a person this time. A guy named Dave that hasn't been heard from for awhile. Well... more money and experience is always a good thing I suppose so we agree. We're informed he was last seen in a nearby run-down shack so we head that way to investigate.

Unfortunately, once again, this was all I was able to do. But I have to admit, now that I'm fighting enemies and in the midst of things... the fun factor is increasing.

Slowly... but surely... it's doing exactly what I thought it would do. Turning into BEST. GAME. EVER.

Next time:

We try to track down Dave. Will we find him? Is he alive or dead? I guess we'll find out...
