It’s summer! At least it is in Arland.

You know what that means: alchemical solutions to beat the heat! Of course, the astute among you will have already noticed that… oh, let’s leave that as a surprise, shall we?

Today’s New Game Plus run continues with more alchemy, more one-hit kills, some boobs on proud display, and Tantris and Lionela really starting to come into their own as fighters, despite their inferior equipment. Hit the jump to see how things went!

We’re getting to a point now where I can make some of the better “material” items for equipment, and that means that I’ll be able to make better equipment. Before long, we’ll hopefully be able to outfit those characters I didn’t use much in my original playthrough with suitably “endgame” equipment we can use to challenge the game’s toughest bosses, and the additional time we have means plenty of time for gathering ingredients and making helpful items.

In today’s episode, I unlock the ability to produce some of the most useful healing items in the game. While they’re not a ton of use at the point we’re at right now, they will come in very handy towards the end, so I’ll be stocking up over the course of the next few episodes!
