If not, you can look at my copy. Left it at home since I didn't think anyone would appear so close to Aqures Ixen, though.
[He kicks himself for doing so.]
Going out and fighting monsters isn't as effective, except maybe in the Monster Arena. Haven't gone myself. [SHRUG.] What you'd want to do is to find friendly monsters in the wild, and that's getting harder to do with the Calamity encompassing most of the world, now. Getting involved in the events of this world is the biggest thing, and I know one that'll likely happen very soon.
[He paused for a minute, leaning closer in so it'd be easier for Sora to hear him.]
You know how you have two Jobs, right? Well, that's part of what makes us different from the locals. They only have one for the rest of their lives, and the reason we are different, is because while we were summoned here, a part of us remains within the Rift.
Some call it an Id, others the Shadow, but the more common name in this world is the Calamity Self. This "shade" has existed alongside us, feeding off every repressed aspect... everything we refuse to admit about ourselves, and it has taken over others like us over and over again. Anyone with a Black Crystal could control us like puppets. That's why everyone both admire and fear us, and I can't say I blame them for it, either. Even the planet sees the Calamity Self as a threat, and encases us in crystal until it thinks the threat is passed.
[Ira pauses, knowing it's a lot to take in at once. Of course, he isn't going to just say that and leave it without giving a bit of hope.]
This guy, the Sage - he invited all of us to his place in Mysidia about a month ago, to share the information of what it is and how to face them. If we don't, then we run the risk of that Self taking over at the worst time. Lin tells me the other moogles at Palitutu's lab will likely have it figured out in a matter of days.
holy [KUPO], this tl;dr...
