Extra info/corrections/comments on this episode:
* Remember that it is still forbidden to buy the copy of Thief Gloves in Treno's auction.
* In order to be able to unequip Zorlin Shape, Air Racket, Power Belt, Mythril Vest and Mythril Sword, the following items were synthesized from from 29:55 to 30:57: 1 Masamune, 2 Priest's Rackets, 1 Grand Helm, 6 Brave Suits and 1 Grand Armor (synthesizing the Masamune and Brave Suits are the only mandatory operations for characters training as mentioned in the previous seciton; I should also have synthesized a copy of Duel Claws but I decided to postpone the operation).
* As a reminder of what was detailed in the description of the episode 42, there are 6 main dialogue change situations in Chocobo's Paradise; situations #1 to #2 were triggered in Disc 3; the purpose of my visits in Chocobo's Paradise (at 36:53, 40:29 and 42:48 and for example) is just to show at least one specific dialogue of each situation from #3 to #5.
