Wait a minute? Didn't that girl with the guns just said that she's working with Van. He is the commandant right? Why is he worried about Tear? Didn't he saw her before the split ways. And if his the one commanding those guys then why are they going to meet him? Am confused as hell. WTF that conversation made no sense.

Luke is seriously grating on my nerves more now. I almost prefer he take the back seat now to Tear and Ion.


Yeah totally! I HATE him for making Ion hurry up when she is suffering pain! CURSE YOU LUKE! Other than that I find Luke was good in the Zao ruins.


lol it is fun seeing everyone hate luke. Well your supposed to. Despise him. Thats the whole point of his character as of now.

This episode pretty much defined luke's aragent personality and how he doesn't care bout no one but him self. Of course we seen this during previous episodes, but it was at its strong point in this episode. Also i hate to say it, but they did kind of lack alot of the connections between anise and luke. Originally in the game, there supposed to have a very special bond with each other, well at least anise thinks so, she loves luke alot. But luke doesn't like her. This was apparent in anime, but wasn't quite as deep as the games story line. In any case this really shown that even ANISE hated luke for what he said. It is actually the first time anise declared that luke is stupid.

Im going to spoil tag this just for the sake of throwing little hints in there. Its regarding luke. But it doesn't involve anything that happens beyond this episode.



I also have to mention that they did not cut out the whole chesodonia event and the whole scynce, largo battle like what ever one though from the previous episodes. So im glad they decided to keep that in the story as that is a different major important event, mostly how sphyce gave guy that deathic fonic curse. When i was going over the previous episode discussions, people were going on and on about how they cut all this out and spoiled it for everyone. But i guess they decided to place it at a later part in the game.

and finally, they have reached Akzurieth the mining town. This is one of my most favorite moments in the entire game. I look forward to it.

aahh most annoying MC ever. Can't wait for him to fix his personality after he messes something important.

It almost feel like they overdid it. He was sheltered kid with "uncle will take care of it" kind of mind but he was kind and everyone pointed that out repeatedly even when he was trying to hide it out of embarrassment. But Now.. he's almost unnaturally turned into complete idiot who would leave sick dude die on road because he's in hurry just to be pathetic enough...

Wow Tear, HE IS a KID. He's mentally aged 7. SHeesh don't yell at him.
So, in this episode I felt Tear becoming quite the sassy bitch. Lashing out at the leader like that tsk stk. Believe in your sensei, good! I tried to be in the protagonist's shoes and felt that what he believed is quite awesome. Best thing of the series is Luke staying true to his amnesia.

2/5 due to Tear going Way ay
5/5 Jade f*cking cool stuff about the fonic cloning or something mentioned earlier.
Episode score: 3/5

Luke is the ambassador of driving me up a wall. Literally half of his lines this episode were "Shut up! You're so annoying!" He's overly fixated on making Van happy. Master this, master that. I have a feeling Van is gonna pull a big one on him and completely shatter his world.

Anise is saving the show like always.

Woah.. I find him acting like an arrogant brat pretty natural actually.
But seeing them play along with his whims and to give a crucial blow of ignoring him now is kinda pitiful.
Well Luke never wanted to turn out like this.. its just his environment that caused it.
I find this drama pretty funny and enjoyable. xD

This is where Luke starts to be truly apparent as a spoilt, arrogant, and selfish little brat. Of course, this is all-natural, considering his upbringing and all, and Van manipulating him for it. He will get a wake-up call very soon.

I did notice, however, that they're not adapting the video game faithfully, to an extent, at least. For example, Sync deliberately placed a curse on Guy at Chasedonia, not during their encounter in Zao Ruins. Another instance is Ion, at this point, just revealed the sephiroth's existence. In actuality, he relayed the matter much earlier in the game. Just small details I was able to observe. It is nothing major though, they're doing a decent job so far adapting the video game, in my opinion.

Wasn't Luke's personality supposed to improve!? Instead it's getting worse and worse.
