From here your first stop to the aery, a city built upon the side of sheer cliffs. From here it becomes a rather standard JRPG, side quests fill the land, each ranging from enjoyable to hair-pulling frustration on drop rates, while you search for “Sealed Verses” this game’s first iteration of magic McGuffin that will seemingly help find a cure to the back scrawl plague.
