[wealllikecake]

It's worth noting that the Imperial Chronicle #5 can't be purchased until July 26th. Prior to that day it's just #4 at the plaza bifrost.

[davidburkhardt]

In the character notes in June there are 4 bonding events to attend Laura, Jusis, Towa, and Alisa (for Sharron) all in the afternoon but only 3 bonding chances. Is one in the evening and if so which?

[brainless]

Talking to Instructor Thomas during the quest "Duly Noted" didn't unlock the character note for Vice Principal Heinrich, but finishing the quest gave me the note : >

[Grey Winter]

@EmperorQ Nope. Unfortunately in order to get everything done in these games it takes 2 playthroughs minimum.

[Lunais]

Currently receiving the medal of heroism on my first playthrough... Is there a way to obtain both Thor and Chevalier master quartz in a single playthrough (to get the achievement)?

[lvl 10 mage]

Hey, just a minor thing I found. Catfish can be caught in the river in Trista. I caught one in April during a replay where my items carried over. I think that the fish in Trista pond and the river only appear after you've already caught them somewhere else.

[Grey Winter]

@Davidburkhardt sorry for the slow response. You are supposed to Go to Mater Park, then talk to Tim in Dreichels Plaza before you talk to Towa in the same area. It's before the terrorist attacks are initiated.

[davidburkhardt]

In Red Moon Rose it says to talk to Timmy at Driechel's Plaza talked twice, no book just Mom+ Dad + something about getting pictures. Tried both !st thng and durring patrol. Is there a specific time I should talk to him?

[Grey Winter]

So basically talk to kenneth if you think you've caught all that you can with your current rods. If you have, and you've progressed far enough in the game you'll be ranked up and have access to purchase the new rod in the fishing shop.
