Today, I leave the realm of The Last Hope and enter into the realm of Till the End of Time for underdeveloped planets and agriculture. For this player, it's also the first planet where farming is even mentioned. Norton, our first boss fight in the game, is demanding that the people of Whipple supply him with food.

This, of course, has the locals worried about their survival and more than a bit wary of Fayt and his motives when he arrives. Granted, we don't see any actual farmland, but it's known that it's done.

As is usual in the Star Ocean games, blueberries, blackberries, and aquaberries can be found in the only store in Whipple. There are no other hints as to what kind of produce and livestock could be found there, but I like to think there would be what the locals would call mountain berries. It's unfortunate that we don't get to see wildlife in on Vanguard III (in the game - in the manga Fayt stumbles across what looks like a deer). With such mountainous terrain, I think there would be all kinds of goat and sheep-like animals. I believe rice and potatoes, in some form or another, would definitely appear on Vanguard III. However, because Item Creation doesn't rely on harvesting and mining in Till the End of Time, it's hard to say. Everything is pretty much up for speculation on the part of the person playing the game and wanting to write fanfiction.

So much potential for exotic and alien foods!

Also, in researching blueberries for a novel, I found out that they're native to North America. It's now making me wonder how they're appearing across the universe.

Lymle Lemuri Phi's birthday is this week!! I just checked my strategy guide to be sure I had the date correct. I'm glad I did. I was originally thinking it was June 30, but it's June 20!!

Fanfiction one-shots, vignettes, and drabbles to celebrate Lymle's birthday are welcome in addition to artwork. If you wish to submit something for this journal, please email it to me at luthersfayt@gmail.com no later than midnight, June 19. Anything that comes in after that will be used for the following year.

After Lymle, it's Edge on July 30. Submissions for him must be in by midnight, July 29.

As it looks right now, I'll have access to a computer after a certain time of night after July 1st to check my email and write journal entries.
