Xenogears | E4: Booze is My Life Companion [Dazil]

Hello! After a brief spell of hot-blooded desert carnage, Fei and Citan make their way to the artifact-hunting boom town of Dazil. We discuss the ethics of the Ethos organization, Citan's not very subtle manipulation of Fei, and the pointless but delightful omnipresence of Big Joe. Fei also has one hell of the time in the Aveh desert. Your hot-blooded desire for battle has not been tamed. Your basic nature is unchanged. It's great for us but not great for Fei. 00:21 - Introduction - Exit Blackmoon Forest 01:14 - Fei's present mental state 02:35 - The ethics of murdering and robbing prospectors in the desert 04:55 - Enter Dazil.
