Anyone have any damn idea why they introduced a guy named Underhill who works at the caravan, then never bring him up again? Honestly, I had a hard time figuring out Underhill was name and not a literal geographical formation.

The wiki says:

Underhill’s name comes from the first Lord of the Rings book, Fellowship of the Ring, where it is used as Frodo’s traveling name to escape from the Dark Lord Sauron.

Make of that what you will.

I suspect it’s less confusing to Japanese natives who may not know what ā€œunderhillā€ means.

Yeah I realized the reference, but when you meet him, his name isn’t Underhill! It just says ā€œcaravanā€!

I think lotr had just been translated into JP in the seventies or eighties, so they probably expected people to get the reference. I’m just irrationally bothered by the fact that his name is only in the one spot. Like, did I miss something?

I don’t think there’s any logic to who gets a name and who doesn’t in this game. Some very minor characters like the pirate in pravoca get a name, but for instance the king and the elf prince don’t.

…you can select some equipment in battle. I didn’t even notice. I can see how the healing rod can be game breaking…infinite low level heal. Still need the bigger guns for boss fight but insanely useful for grinding. You don’t even have to equip it?! And Gauntlet gives Thundara!

…after just raiding a dragons treasure trove this sounds like a threat

Instead the dragon king made everyone taller lmao. Knight can now use some low level magic! Magiknight!
