Unfortunately, that's not really what we're here for today. That kind of fear of unknown spaces is probably one of the oldest ideas in fiction, and I think it can be very interesting if it's done right. There's almost nothing here, but I'm a sucker for the idea that the sea is full of fucked up horrors. I don't know what exactly the numbers preceding the last three lines mean, but they're probably time stamps of some sort, and the entry implies that whatever it was the researchers found, they decided to leave pretty quickly. If you listen to Zell's explanation here, you also unlock the Deep Sea Research Center's page in the Information section. He might not be the best in the field, but Zell's not just some idiot. Like I mentioned before, he gives a little bit of info about Timber on the train there, and there are hints in the background that he knows a lot about machines. It's usually lost behind Zell being imprudent and screwing things up, but the guy is fairly knowledgeable. I also like Squall's muted reaction, since he didn't know any of this.
It doesn't actually tie in to anything in particular, but I like it. This is interesting to me, as a bit of world-building. It was deserted after the coal mine on the island was depleted. Squall doesn't know what Zell's talking about.īattleship Island is probably a reference to Hashima, which is an abandoned island near Nagasaki. This island's most likely that mobile research facility. It's the same whether you do it here or at the first branch, by the way. Or we can be a polite human being and let Zell tell us about lore. If you choose to ignore Zell the second time, Squall realises Zell has owned him so thoroughly that all he can do is flee. Like a lot of dialogue options in this game, the negative one takes us to another option. And just like when we were going to Timber, we can ignore him. Just like when we were going to Timber, Zell knows a bit about the lay of the land. If you bring Zell along for the trip, he happens to have an answer. When we do land, we can see that this place is in pretty rough shape. We need to land on top - there's actually a helipad, but it's partly obscured in this picture. While we could have come here with the Garden, it wouldn't have done anything. Should we fly there, we can find these ruins.
The next destination is another one you need the Ragnarok for, over in the corner of the map. There are also Full-Life, Tornado, and Quake spells around here. Draw points on the world map only give up to 5 spells per draw, which isn't great but can be useful if you just need a top-up. Then, before I left, I did a quick tour around the Island Closest to Heaven to grab some spells. Now that I have Doomtrain, I make sure he is junctioned to Selphie.
