Maybe Felt should have reconsidered going on a journey with more than a talking sword and a couple of Heal Herbs as traversing a desert while unprepared is basically a death sentence. But we at least are able to finish our first dungeon, meet a new party member, get a glimpse of some of the supporting cast, and decide to act like a JRPG hero by helping people in need.
To the Desert Ruins!

Yep. Need some buffer videos to fill some time between Lufia 1 and Atelier Iris 2 so I can procrastinate on- er, better prepare myself before starting recording it a bit more.
Enjoy the usual shenanigans!

One of the rare pair scenarios where Kohtaro isnt the absolute butt monkey.
This is another one I really like as the pair develop a sibling-like relationship despite their objections to the idea, but you can see some good development on both sides over the course of the run.
Gameplay-wise though, Emilio still does most of the work.

Im either going to kill her or Im beginning to like her!
That Han Solo quote fairly sums up Mihees relationship and development with Reika over the course of this run, so look forward to some more silliness especially as Reika tries to prove shes actually from the future.
Gameplay-wise, Reika does a decent job at covering for Mihees few weaknesses with her better shikigami attack and longer-lasting bomb, so this isnt a bad pairing.

The various Marisa titles created by Double Cluster have been fairly memetic in the Touhou fandom since their creation. As I already did a Lets Play of Mega Mari, I figured that it would be interesting to return to the even more difficult Super Marisa World, which is full of Super Mario references in its bosses.
However, I still have PTSD from playing through the game years ago, so I convinced three members of the Bakashop Quartet to do a blind race of the game with some assistance from me.
Will there be a winner? Or will there just be survivors?
Or will there be any survivors?

We finish up exploring and looting the Wailing Blue prior to encountering the first major boss, Velagunde, and show how good Hugo is against a large, slow-moving target (unlike Epona).
Theres nothing standing in our way in terms of moving forward, so on to the next section of the tower!

Time for the third Mario Party Jamboree board, only we couldnt quite decide which should be the third, so Goomba Lagoon won out in the vote.
Look forward to the usual shenanigans and more with SammyGrayson, Yosh, and Oppaiman100 as the game decides to screw everyone over!

![Wind Waker Randomizer [17] - Getting a Head in the Game](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NjXynNxljz0/mqdefault.jpg "Wind Waker Randomizer [17] - Getting a Head in the Game
Time for my first seed of a new Randomizer from a game that I thought I knew more than I did. So yeah, theres a lot of salt.
But thats more entertainment for you guys.
Be warned, though, this ones long.
It also starts off with those who joined in co-comms also rolling and running their own seeds, but recording ran so long that they moved on to other projects, so theres some unusual overlap. But I dont mind as this would have had a lot of empty commentary otherwise.

Rather than exploring the rest of whats available, I once again accidentally stumble onto another plot trigger that deals with that girl who attacked us at Regenbogen. The upside is she doesnt attack us. But the downside is shes on the verge of death after being poisoned. So, being good and forgiving JRPG heroes that we are, we take her to a doctor.
But of course its not that easy as we dont have medicine thats strong enough to neutralize the poison and the merchant who has the recipe is on his way towards Imperial territory! Good thing for us we opened up Fort Zuvelg to get back there much more quickly.
With Cure Jar recipe in hand and a detour to quickly check out the rest of Sessier Forest, its back to Viese to make what we need.
