Final Fantasy I - Out of the Bottle

Part of the series: The First Step: Final Fantasy I

Return to Gaia

As we enter the village, the Faerie takes its leave of us and flies off. Fortunately on our previous visit I believe I scouted out the fountain, so we make our way up there. Arriving she's no longer a ball of light, but a full sprite. I think that's almost a pun, but it's getting too late in the day for me to be sure.

She apologises for running away, saying she was scared - but by way of making it up to us, she'll get us some oxyale up from the bottom of the spring. With a nice little animation of here switching back into a ball and diving into the lake and back, we get some oxyale. Apparently air will flow out of that water for as long as we have it.

Sounds like it might pair well with a Sunken Shrine.

While we're in Gaia though, I pick up Curaja for Clair - I guess her job upgrade makes her eligible for it. Also in the weapons shop, it seems that everyone but Clair can use those Cat Claws, though they're only an improvement for Kaili and Glitz. I opt to get it for the two of them, but while I was half joking before about our coffers, that does take us down to 17,000 gil. Not a lot in this economy.

I also notice that Kaili is now able to equip a lot of the same armours and shield that Rukus can, which is useful. He might end up being closer to a Knight as a Ninja, than he was a Warrior as. Thief.
