Lunar Playthrough Part 4: Nanza, a Dragonmaster, and Vane

Oof, there was a few days' delay there. Work got briefly busy, and then life did.
I went ahead and played through Nanza today. I don't have much to say on this point:
My girlfriend was watching, and was amused at Kyle's large snotbubble.
I'd forgotten that there were points in the game where it only became clear how to advance if you started talking to lots of people, since it's clear that one needs to talk to Kyle if you talk to the eastern gatekeeper, and afterward it's a scavenger hunt with clues and flags hidden in dialogue. I like this as a mechanic, but I can imagine someone who neglects NPC dialogue being unimpressed by this.
Jessica's going to be the last PC we find, and the PC we've heard the most about second-hand. (For NPCs, Althena and Dyne would probably beat this.) We have these Jessicas: the good daughter of Mel and dutiful priestess, a priestess fed up with the temple, a woman seeing some boy without Mel's knowledge, and a woman fed up with Kyle's antics. That was from memory, and I've probably missed a few, but at this point Jessica seems the character I have the most to learn about, partly to see how all these aspects fit together. Other characters also have things waiting to be discovered, but they are less apparent or less immediate.
