Epic Quest of the 4 Crystals - Part 2 Earth Cave

After keeping you guys waiting an entire day for the next installment, here we are with the 2nd part. Unfortunately, the exposition thins out a bit here as we tackle the dungeon. Overall, I have to say that I'm not really a fan of the place since there is one really annoying enemy here that absorbs water attacks, which is the element of Zip's Overdrive as well as one of Stiletta's spells, which can be used during her Overdrive. I don't really have a recommended strategy for dealing with the Dryad other than just trying to kill it first since it is a support unit and will eventually start healing itself and its allies. Beyond this, we meet the Emperor in a scene with Kujae, which sheds a bit of light on the Empire and we also get out first crystal. Without a job system, I don't really know the advantage of getting these crystals other than story purposes. The key thing is that if you're familiar with the older Final Fantasy games, the four crystals was a recurring plot device in them which I think we'll see lampooned a bit once we make some more progress into the game.
