Got over 2 and a half hours in today... As I loaded my save... What the hell is Rikku wearing?! Oh, it's the Leblanc Syndicate uniform... Making sure I don't forget how many more I need to get. Neat. First, we overheard that Leblanc's goons were doing some mountain climbing, and headed to Mt. Gagazet. We got to speak to the Ronsos, including Kimahri, again, choosing one among 3 options... It seemed as fruitless as last time. We went to Fayth Scar and started chasing a female goon. Eventually, we caught her and a friend taking a dip in an onsen... Nice! Just as we were about to steal their clothes, Ormi showed up, and we had to defeat him. Easy-peasy. Then the two goons also attacked, beat them, too. And because we had to go to 3 different places to get these uniforms, not just two, got just one uniform out of the two girls. What, we let them split the other one so they wouldn't be completely naked? -_-
Then, I tried to get Yuna and her friends in the onsen themselves... Only to see that it wasn't possible anymore. Apparently, after looking it up, I had to take a different route before (not after the goon), and it'd treat me with an onsen scene. Now, it's locked. Well... I looked at it on Youtube, and it was pretty odd - WTF is up with those hypello dudes in the onsen with Yuna, Rikku and Paine? And they were wearing beachwear, too. What kind of onsen is that?! I thought it's probably American censorship at work, and looked up the Japanese version (thought they just wouldn't be shown nude...). Unfortunately, they had their swimming suits on even in the Japanese version. What an insult to onsens that was.
I also tried Yuna's special sphere or whatever... Rikku and Paine scrammed, and she turned into some weird boss thing. Main body and two arms, each getting turns and having various special abilities. It was overpowered as fuck, the main Yuna had like 1500 HP, while normally she has like 500.
Then, I had to go to the desert, as I'd already heard that clue last time, but first, I had to register as a digger. I went to see Gippal, the Machine faction leader, in Djose temple. He got all horny from being able to talk to Yuna personally... But showed enough restraint so things didn't have to escalate. He interviewed me with one question - whether I wanted to dig. Well, why did I come here?! And that was it. I then went to the desert, talked to the chick in charge there, and she asked me to go to the Oasis, where I had to check on some suspicious people. They were, of course, from the Leblanc Syndicate. I went there and quickly battled Ormi and Logos (or was it just Logos? Hmm), defeating them. Got the final uniform. I got Rikku's special sphere, too. Will try it next time.
Time to storm Chateau Leblanc... We dressed up as goons and entered with ease. There, we saw Leblanc go all lovey-dovey with Nooj, the Youth League leader... Apparently, she'd found the location of that huge machina, Vegnagun, and now he knew it. He was like "Spira is going to be in some trouble" or something like that, and left. Hm, if he's with Leblanc, he can't be a good guy! Anyway, everything was going swimmingly, we were chatting with Logos and Ormi as if nothing was going on, and we even got to massage Leblanc. That was hilarious. Apparently, Yuna is really great at massages, making Leblanc fall asleep (after one redo, of course). Then, we opened some secret door, and Paine came up with the "brilliant" idea to take off the uniforms, which of course the other two went along with. Well, fuck you! I could have never guessed we'd get found out and attacked this way. -_- In the next moment, that happened. Supposedly, it was Brother's fault because he called on the radio, but come on.
We ran around, grabbing another sphere with another vague video on it, and then we had to open some door. We had to disarm 3 security locks scattered around the place. Two of them were visible, the other one wasn't. I escaped a huge wall with spikes moving towards me on the way... And apparently, to find the third lock, one had to shove oneself into that wall. -_- Very intuitive, Square Enix. But yeah, eventually, I found it, and entered the secret room. Found the two halves of the sphere I had had stolen (you know, Leblanc had already found the other half). Of course, Leblanc and the other two then showed, and Leblanc even used Mighty Guard, that well-known enemy skill from Final Fantasy VII, but we beat them with relative ease, although they used a cool combo move that got one of my girls down. Then, we watched the sphere, learning the location of Vegnagun (Bevelle, of course), and agreed with Leblanc that we had common goals (dismantle it and "save" Spira again. Although I'm not so sure about this...). Leblanc then invited herself on our airship, and off to Bevelle we went...
