Sidequest City. We defeat the Earth Dragon, visit the lair of a boss planned to have a much larger role (Furdo) and recruit an obscure character in the Mosperiburg mountains.
Next time, we get back on with the plot.

Let's Play SaGa Frontier (T260's Quest), Part 2
We converse a bit with Leonard, and then the search for T260's past begins.

Let's Play SaGa Frontier (Lute's Quest), Part 2
After a surprisingly epic series of boss fights, Lute's story ends just as abruptly as it began.
Let's Play Soul Nomad and the World Eaters, Part 1
A lesser known Nippon Ichi title, but a very good one. It's their attempt to tell a darker, more emotionally-driven storyline, and it actually works out surprisingly well.
As for the gameplay, think Disgaea meets Ogre Battle.

Revya's oldest friend, a scatterbrained Sepp warrior who fights with a pair of sickle swords. Gig loves to mock her to no end.
Voiced by: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
A former warrior and mentor to both Revya and Danette, and the one responsible for fusing Gig's soul to Revya through the Onyx Blade. Said to be hundreds of years old and capable of surviving death, though how she is able to do so is a mystery.
Voiced by: Yuri Lowenthal
The scourge of Prodesto and self-proclaimed "baddest of the bad". 200 years before the game began, he led the World Eaters in a campaign of violence that left the planet devastated and resulted in the dealths of millions, his rampage only finally coming to an end after he was sealed away within the Onyx Blade. Now fused to Revya, he seeks to corrupt and take control of him/her, presumably to continue his genocidal rampage.

Appointed as "World Eater Guardian" by the city guard of Raide, but quickly relieved of that position after being defeated by Revya's group. Suspicious of his commander and his rapid rise to power within the Knights of Raide.

Characters introduced this time (in order of appearance)
Lord Median
Voiced by: Patrick Seitz
A mighty emperor who conquered and brought peace to the war-torn continent of Prodesto. Unfortunately, with the rise of Gig and the World Eaters, his reign didn't last long...
Revya
Voiced by: Yukiko Kikuchi / Kensuke Nishi
The quiet and androgynous protagonist of Soul Nomad, who was unwittingly chosen to wield the Onyx Blade because of his/her considerable spiritual power. Now possessed by Gig and on a quest to rid Prodesto of the World Eaters.
Danette
Voiced by: Stephanie Sheh
Revya's oldest friend, a scatterbrained Sepp warrior who fights with a pair of sickle swords. Gig loves to mock her to no end.
Layna

Gig
Voiced by: Yuri Lowenthal

Now fused to Revya, he seeks to corrupt and take control of him/her, presumably to continue his genocidal rampage.
Feinne
Voiced by: Wendee Lee
One of the three World Eaters, colossal engines of destruction that devastated Prodesto under Gig's command 200 years ago. Since Gig was sealed away, she seems to have largely gone dormant, only reacting when directly threatened. Despite being his "favorite" world eater, Gig clearly has no qualm with destroying her for personal gain.
Masked Man and Man in Bandages
Voiced by: Doug Erholtz and Patrick Seitz
Two mysterious figures who seem to be interested in taking down the World Eaters. That's about all we know about them for now.
Chevalier Galahad
Voiced by: Derek Stephen Prince
Appointed as "World Eater Guardian" by the city guard of Raide, but quickly relieved of that position after being defeated by Revya's group. Suspicious of his commander and his rapid rise to power within the Knights of Raide.
Grand Cordon Thorndyke
Voiced by: Dave Wittenberg
Leader of the Knights of Raide, a trading hub that faces danger from all sides.

Let's Play SaGa Frontier (Lute's Quest), Part 1
The shortest and least impressive quest by quite a wide margin, so I decided to spice it up a bit by throwing in a few magic quests I haven't shown yet. Namely, Shadow and Mind magic.
Let's Play SaGa Frontier (Emelia's Quest), Part 5
Wherein we infiltrate Trinity (twice), and then finish with a mostly non-sequitur ending.
I've been informed that this is the "worst" of the two possible endings for Emelia's quest, and that which one you get hinges on whether or not you get the Purple Eye during the Baccarat quest. Strangely, getting it results in the worse of the two endings.
For the curious, here's the better ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTUioC5PQlk&feature=player_detailpage#t=523s

Let's Play SaGa Frontier (Emelia's Quest), Part 4
A little more plot, the Arcane Quest, and recruiting the Time Lord. Probably overkill for Emelia's quest, but why not.
Also, Liza learns DSC, and it is glorious.
