Starting in San D'oria is the most straightforwards for missions. If its your first time, I'd recommend following along with 'Rhapsodies of Vanadia' as your guide for progression. Doing them in tandom can be good to keep characters connected and relevant. Get a 99, then roll through the stories. If you want to do some fights, you can always keep a job leveled to the intended and level sync manually with a group of friends. Lots of stuff to do, and a lot of walking. Hard part about streaming is filling in the time between scenes. Rise of the Zilart has few cutscenes and a lot of exploration. CoP has a ton of cutscenes rather than exploration, especially if you are familiar with the world. Collecting home points is a priority always.

Huh. I never set the game description for this video. It's funny it decided it was 14, but I went ahead and correctly labeled the game in the settings. It was just blank before xD

Lol sorry bout that. Game volume wasn't balanced right. I'll have to mess around with it, haven't streamed this week cause of holidays. That and I was mumbling a lot that day, kinda a slow day.

@@MetalSmith All good, just hoping to let you know in case you hadn’t noticed 😄. Sounded like you were saying something pretty interesting and profound too! 🤣

Lol thanks. I'm making the videos to just talk to my fiance. We are living apart for the next few months, so I want to do a vlog or journal and just talk, but also share games. If you feel like stopping by the stream, that's great too, but I'm Japanese Standard Time at the moment, so about 13~ hours ahead of US Eastern standard time. I'm finished with my masters degree last October and getting ready to transition to a career. I like talking things through, and I'll likely end up contradicting myself before the end of a thought, but thoughts don't come completely thought through, it takes time to develop them, and work through the problems within them. Glad you are enjoying the game, hope you can experience it again. I"ll be keeping some uploads coming 3-5x a week.

Yes, you can still have up to 6 party members, and trusts will simply take on the level of the party leader.

Yes. If you log into your square enix account on their system and migrate your Playonline account, you can see if it still has content ID's stored with character information. You can then renew the contend ID and pickup where you left off years ago. My main character was in the canceled state for the better part of 10 years, so who knows?

All the caps were removed for CoP and RotZ battles around the introduction of the last chapter of Abyssea or the release of Seekers of Aldouin iirc.

Lol thanks for the comment. I'm glad it's nice for someone else to watch the playthrough. I'm trying to share it with my fiance, she doesn't play games and I want to see if I can't make it so she can listen to the experience when working in the lab like a podcast. It's been fun trying to figure out how I want to do the voices.
