*** Side Stories ***
The Adventures of Ali 10:01
_ Solution: 18:47 Use Guide/Allure to bring Ali's father, Maruf, to Ali (12:56 NPC hint).
_ Outcome: 19:16
_ Trivia:
◘ Maruf appears in Marsalim after starting the side story (before 4:57, after 13:58).
◘ Speaking to Ali makes a townsperson named Sand Man show up near the dancers' dormitory (before 4:30, after 12:03). He has a unique 30% drop of Ali's Bread by challenging/provoking.
◘ Upon completion of the side story Ali is relocated to Marsalim (before 9:55, after 22:48).
My thoughts on this part:
05:32 This little girl is the same girl that appeared in the cut-scene from Primrose chapter 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSNSjYFxDO0&t=927s). Judging from the way he looked at Primrose near the end, he must have been flirting with someone right now while his daughter waiting for him to come back, poor Helena 👀. it's true that he doesn't like his daughter to be a dancer but since he knows what life is like as a dancer, in general, all parents are like that.
Some people mistakenly think this is some kind of side quest but actually, all NPCs related to the character plot will return if you complete chapter 4 corresponding to that character. Needless to say, Helena's details are also quite fuzzy. if I didn't rewind many times, I probably wouldn't have noticed either 🤣.
10:05 They're kinda weird in that these NPCs don't really acknowledge the characters they know (similar to Ogen case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEufP-j-fRo&t=3675s, Jesus, I mean Aflyn was standing right next to him and he acts as he'd never meet him again). I'm still gonna have the relevant characters in the lead because, well, why not?
08:02 Unlike Noa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLl9IMP045U&t=4975s), when stealing something from him using Tressa, he doesn't mention Tressa's name directly 🤔.
23:57 Did he seriously use the battle staff in battle 😂? When he returned here, there were some changes to the dialogue when challenging him but it was minor (before 15:46).
25:28 He spoke more harshly when he won against H'aanit's beasts after coming back here (before 26:49). Maybe due to he having a heated argument with his father, sounds legit.
