1/ 30:48 Culinary Competence
My thoughts:
I/ Le Mann, Explorer Extraordinaire (III)
16:30 If you notice, this is the only quest where a new NPC appears at the end of the chain quests. Coincidentally, no new NPCs appeared in Goldshore during Le Mann part II (revolves around Le Mann and Harris, however, Harris has appeared before that, making Le Mann part I the only quest with the appearance of 2 new NPCs related to quest). Perhaps, his appearance is compensation for the previous part.
17:26 These are Le Mann's words before leaving (12:41), explanation for Le Mann's previous hint (11:45).
II/ The Diarist's Desire
20:39 Live on this world for 70 years, nothing that can surprise you anymore...
34:18 Watch your mouth 🙃
34:44 A whole new world!!!
36:57 Actually, I'm not used to journaling (to write daily routine). But I like to record the journeys in the game that I used to play, it's always an unforgettable memory back then in my free days in school and still is for now.
37:07 # 39206 It was almost like he became a new person after regaining his interest. From personal Information to challenge/provoke are also reset 😂(before 19:28, after 38:03). At least it eased the pain of losing his wife (# 39205 18:32) 😭.
III/ An Exotic Aroma
57:18 It could be a hint. Quaragosa is located in the south, which is also the direction of Sunlands. Although it may be a different continent, the place close to Sunlands may have similar cultures. Even the way she dresses is more like someone from the desert🤔.
53:09 Valuable lesson, like the tumbler chapter in Doraemon.
53:32 She told us that she needed to save more money on the first method. Although on method 2, her budget is still the same, she still decided to go there immediately (1:00:13). People are always hesitant for some reason but when the real chance comes they will take it no matter what happens🤔.
1:02:04 🙃
IV/ Keeping Up with the Wyndhams
1:06:30 Therion, how could you? 😂
1:08:16 They look like they're kissing when you put it under this angle.
1:13:31 Even though his sprite wields an ax, I've never seen Bridgard use ax-related skills. if you notice poison slash, dagger storm, and even attack animations are from the dagger weapon.
1:17:57 So what happened to the mail carrier?🙃
1:18:34 You should also ask where the heck your mail carrier is if you don't even know that the mail was stolen 😂.
1:18:48 Perhaps it refers to Therion instead of Heathcote.
1:19:01 Even funnier when Therion was there.
1:19:41 So the narrative line at the end of Tressa's story is just an image? 😂
1:20:05 Maybe she took it from Tressa's diary 😂.
1:22:13 Due to how Cordelia went through it herself 😂.
1:22:55 This is the only rare line Noa communicates directly with Tressa after Tressa chapter 4, which can only be viewed once (only 1 item to steal and can be missed when using Therion).
