(no subject)
I really hate Giruvegan. While it is kind of a high of the story, it doesn't feel like it. It feels like the story is falling in a hole of suck. Also, the dungeon is very un-fun.
Related to that, the whole thing with the Occuria is... I dunno. It's kinda nice that the whole thing is really ambiguous. You can't say that one side is completely right or wrong. It's also, imo, not "easy" to root for one side of it; Dr. Cid and Vayne have destroyed to countries and killed countless people to get the nethezite and try to get rid of the Occuria, but Ashe and the Occuria also want to destroy and kill all of Arcadia. And Ashe, well, is really hard to sympathise with. Her hate and wish for revenge makes sense, of course, and she has every right to be angry. But now she has seen so much pain and sorrow that was caused by the thirst for nethezite and yet she still continues and yearns for it. Is still power-hungry.
I really can't understand or relate to her. She seems to blindly run straight forward into her doom (and everybody else´s doom) and doesn't seem to care. I find her really unlikeable.
Rather a good thing that she's not the protagonist.
Also, Vaan and everybody else continues to be awesome. And Ondore needs to appear and talk more.

Re-read the Viggy&Lyon angst. Am loving it very much. Much of my headcanon of Viggy´s father and his upbringing was poured into it.
