Diamante

Some time ago I wrote about Bravely Default, and today I'm gonna write about Bravely Second, the sequel. It will be full of spoilers. So go ahead if you want read it, but I warned you.

Besides the spoiler in the title, that in this part was quite meh (Send Player), there was another thing that really shocked me when I was playing that game, the Ba'als. The Ba'als looks like some kind of monster but they aren't really like monsters. The are some examples of Ba'al: ONE, TWO, THREE. They look so weird, like they aren't from this world, or even this dimension, just like the angels in Evangelion. The "job" of the Ba'als is reach Luxendarc and destroy it, just like the angels, such a coincidence.

In the late game they explain that all the Ba'als are result of the memories of Vega, more concretely, the memories with her husband Altair, but these memories are being corrupted by Providence, the final boss. For example; the ONE is where Vega and Altair worked, it was in a laboratory, in a shitty laboratory, cuz the bosses of Altair hated him because he was too intelligent, and cuz of that they send him in that shitty laboratory where he meet again with Vega; the TWO is the first meet of those two, they were stuck in an electric chair of those ski parks, they talked a bit, and bla bla, when the machine worked again, each went on his way; THREE is the second meet with Altair, it was a rainy day, and one of those two, I don't remember, didn't have an umbrella, so they share the one.

Okay, now that more or less I explained what is a Ba'al, let's talk about the Ba'al of Ba'als: Diamante. 

Diamante is Vega's last memory about Altair. When Altair proposed marriage to Vega, he didn't have money to buy a ring, to gain money he get a job, he needed to go to Luxendarc, he promised that when he is back he will buy one, he never come back.

The peculiarity of Diamante over the others Ba'als is that he is immortal. He cannot die, you can try it many times you want, but he will always come back. This means that Vega is living in a continuous loop of despair while she was waiting to Altair. Even the song is like that a constant crescendo that never ends. And all of this only because the bosses of Altair were afraid of his wisdom and send him to that shitty lab. 

Quite shitty end (of my post, I mean), huh? Idk, I didn't feel like I write all what I wanted, it's more easy feel that write.

Flying Fairy

is my favorite game.

This is a short synopsis:

The 4 elemental crystals maintained the balance of the forces in Luxendarc, but one day they were consumed by darkness, causing chaos through the whole world.
The story starts with the village of Norende, that has been annihilated, because a great chasm has been opened below the village, all the citizens of Norende were swallowed by the chasm, all but one, Tiz Arrior, a shepherd.
Tiz goes to Norende to find more survivors, but there are no one, but there is someone in the chasm, Agnès Oblige, followed by a Airy, a fairy. Agnès is being sought by the duchy of Eternia, because she is the Vestal of Wind Crystal, then Tiz decides travel with Agnès as her protector.
Later, Ringabel joins to the crew, he's an amnesic vagrant who have a book that predicts future events, the D Journal; also,  Edea Lee joins, a soldier of the duchy, which is the princess of Eternia.
Now, with all the crew the plan is simply, Airy said that if they can eliminate the darkness of the 4 crystal, and awake them, she could restore the balance in the world.

That's all what you need to understand what I'm gonna explain, so, if you didn't played the BD, and you want to play one of the best game in 3ds, don't read what is below.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

I didn't wanted to do a deep description of the BD's story, (and believe me, this wasn't even the 5% of all the plot), I prefer talk about the details that make this game fantastic. Not the 10/10 OST, not the story, not the characters, but the D Journal and Airy.
First of all I have I have to talk what happens when you awake the 4 crystals. When you do it a column of light appears and when you cross it, you are sent to a parallel world.
Do you remember Ringabel's journal? I said that the D can predict future events, but that isn't exactly true. Ringabel and the D are from another world, the previous world.
The fact that you can know the whole story when you get the D, even the end: the betrayal of your companion Airy. The game gives you all the cards to know all, and it's a very strange feel.
The last page of the D shows you a 63, but it isn't a 63, is a 6 and Airy's wing. The 6 is the number of world that remains, this isn't really a big deal, unless by the fact that you're always seeing Airy's wing, even when you cross to another world, but you don't see the changing number.
But this isn't the most shocking fact about the game, the title of game is Flying Fairy. Just remove the Fs. You had it in front of your eyes all your time, even before play the game. Is a little detail that totally shocks you when you realize that was there, but you were still following Airy's plan.
It was the truth that was in front of your eyes, but you never realized.
