It just makes the theory floating around the thread of a Deathbringer-centric quest line being scrapped seem all the more likely. Plus his animations are always amazing.Īgain with the Deathbringer! For a middling mid-boss of some unimportant quest, he sure gets name-dropped a lot. He's compassionate to Esmeralda's situation, he humorously shuts down Elazul's attempt to double-dip as a knight, and he has great taste in fashion. Sure, you see a good example of this with Elazul/Pearl, but you yourself being in charge of protecting a guardian Jumi is quite another thing.Īlso, Nunuzac continues to be awesome, even if he does act a bit like a racist asshole. But the main idea is to give you a better glimpse into Jumi life by actually incorporating your character into an important role in the culture. Of course, the actual quest is about hunting for plot Macguffins and not so much defending Esmeralda, considering you can't actually leave Geo during this quest.

Compared to the other two quest-lines, the Jumi arc has a ton of related quests, easing you in slowly with quests like "The Lost Princess" introducing you to the quest line's two main NPCs, and "The Flame of Hope" introducing you to the arc's antagonist.Īnyway, the quest itself is about your character serving as Esmeralda's knight, since there's not really anyone else around to do it. That said, this is pretty much what kicks the Jumi quest arc off into high gear, as you meet one of a few survivors from the Jumi village and get some backstory on the Jumi. This technically isn't a Jumi quest, as it's more on the same track as "The Flame of Hope" and "Drowned Dreams," involving a jewel hunter stealing Jumi cores.

There's a surprising amount of dialogue in this quest, which makes sense since you get a ton of backstory dumped on you and have to do fetch quests in Geo the entire time.
ELAZUL LEGEND OF MANA UPDATE
This was probably the most intensive update I've done since the very first update, which I had to split into two just to show off everything without bogging things down.
