Part 7: The Worst Possible Tragedy; Attack of the Imperial Army

Noctis and co. head out to get the item Dino wants. However... they have to sneak past a GINORMOUS bird in order to do so...

Well... I was able to do it... but somehow woke it up on my way back and it knocked Noctis off the cliff. Owie... no game over though.

Well... with the item collected we report back to Dino and give it to him. He apologies for blackmailing us and informs us he's also a jeweler on the side and that's why he wanted the item. He claims he's going to 'pull some strings' to get us a ship. WHATEVER. APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.

He also informs us that the mysterious guy from before was giving everyone that coin. The group surmises that he may not be an ordinary citizen. KINDA OBVIOUS DON'T YOU THINK?

But we rest up to take the ship the next day.

However...

The next scene was familiar to me. It is if you watch Kingsglaive anyway. Which I did. Looks like the treaty... was pretty much a farce. Niflheim attacks the King and the barrier around the city goes down. As for the King... well... um...

So... the next morning Noctis wakes up and Ignis gives him the news about the attack. Noctis' reaction is honestly understandable. As for the King... yeah... um... he's dead. Not joking.

Noctis thinks it's all lies so the group decides to see for themselves. The report also states that him and Lunafreya are dead as well. He is? He seems quite alive to me considering I don't have GAME OVER on my screen...

Either way... the entrance to the city is blockaded so we go around. In order to proceed... Noctis and co. are forced to force their way through some Imperial Troops. As far as the fighting... it was a little difficult but I came out victorious in all of them. We also get the next battle theme. THE BATTLE THEME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

Spoiler

Afterwards, Noctis tries calling someone. A guy named Cor. He informs him... that it's true. The King's dead.
DAMN YOU NIFLHEIM.

Cor wants to meet Noctis in Hammerhead so that's our next destination. It's raining too. Almost fitting weather considering the situation...

When we arrive Cindy is glad to see that we're okay and informs us that Cid was worried sick and even pacing waiting for us. Wow. I guess he does care.

Noctis seems to think his father was fooled but Cid informs him that he saw it coming but just refused to go down without a fight.

We're not letting these ***holes get away with this either. It's far from over, as Ignis stated. Cor is waiting for us in a Royal Tomb apparently so that's the next main quest.

But of course I'm going to do sidequests first.

OH. MY. GOD.


THE FREAKING IMPERIAL ARMY ATTACKS YOU WHILE YOU'RE EXPLORING. NOT ONLY THAT, IT WAS ALMOST HAPPENING TO ME EVERY 5 FREAKING SECONDS. GIVE ME TIME TO DO SOMETHING MY GOD.

Well... about the only positive is it gives a good chunk of experience if it happens like that constantly. Which is was for me.

This game is getting INSANE.

However... it's starting to become exactly why I figured it would become.

Which is BEST. GAME. EVER. of course.

Still though... I can take my RAGE out on them at least.

Next time:

Will I even be able to do sidequests or will the Army ATTACK ME CONSTANTLY and prevent me from doing ANYTHING? I guess we'll have to wait and see...
