Lengthy description of a trio of side quests (Shumi Village, Chocobo Forest, and Tonberry King) leads into reflections on Fujin and Raijin as foils to Squall and the team, busy with their own long conversations at last revealing lost memories on the broken basketball court of Trabia Garden.

Leapfrogged in release order by our episode 16 on Game Studies and Side Quests to make sure that one was out before the conference.
