Part 6: The Creepy Night; Blackmailing Reporter

I started off with more sidequests. Which, to be honest, was probably a good thing. Because when I finished them all, I ended up in the double digits for level. Yep, my party is in the 10's now.

Some of the quests were interesting though. A few ended up being from Dave, the guy we helped before. He needed some help locating dog tags. It's kind of similar to those that are in the military I think? They use them for identification. But since he needs help locating them, well, you can surmise what happened to them. Yeah... it's to give the hunters' family closure. Kind of sad honestly. But I helped out and got the dog tags.

One of the few hunts I did had to be done at night time. Yep, the target was a few Daemons. Uh oh...

I swear. Exploring at night is... creepy. I almost felt like I was playing a horror game. Because when you're exploring, unless your at a haven or an outpost that's lit up, the only source of light you get is from random areas or a small flashlight that are on your characters. So... creepy...

I tried to drive to the location but Ignis stopped me and warned me that there was a difference between bravery and stupidity. Yes Ignis I know. Daemons kill unprepared parties.

When I found the Daemons (Goblins) the fight was... kinda intense. But, somehow, I was able to eliminate them all. Yeah I don't know how I did that either. They were only level 7 though so I guess some Daemons are weak.

I also did a bunch of item gathering as well. Which really didn't take that long but I had to span it out because I still refuse to take risks and roam around at night.

Once I was finished I finally moved back to the main quest and made my way to the Goldin Quay which pretty much ended up being a seaside town.

Noctis and co. tried to get a ship but as they did so... they met a suspicious man who informed them that the ships weren't running and said stuff like the truce being a waste of time. SUSPICIOUS PERSON ALERT. POSSIBLE VILLAIN.

He freaking THREW A COIN AT NOCTIS TOO. I hate this guy already.

With that randomness out of the way we go to confirm this man's story and it turns out to be true only to then be confronted by a reporter named Dino who said it wasn't hard to figure out who Noctis was and he would keep quiet if we did something for him. OF COURSE. WHAT HAPPENED TO JOURNALISTS JUST DOING THEIR JOB INSTEAD OF BLACKMAILING PEOPLE?! *sighs*

Well... guess there's little choice. AGAIN.

Since I was in the area I did a few more quests as well. One was actually a tour with Gladiolus who wanted to train with Noctis early in the morning... by racing. On sand. Yeah... okay.

Well I found a way to win the race and complete the tour, which somehow impressed Gladiolus.

Another quest involved trying to help a cat get some food. NOCTIS IS THE BEST. HE EVEN HELPS CATS.



This gave me a chance to try out fishing. To be honest... it's actually not a bad mini game. I can see how you might get a addicted to it. Luckily the fish I needed I already bought but I wanted to try fishing anyway so I could level up Noctis' fishing skill. I might do it more often. Just because I can.

That was about all I did this time.

Next time:

I see if there's any other quests I can do, but if not, I move on with the main story to get the item for Dino so he doesn't blab to everyone that the Prince of Lucis is roaming around. WHY MUST WE BRIBE SOMEONE WHO'S BLACKMAILING US?! Ugh. Whatever. Not like there's a choice anyway.
