Parents, have you talked to your kids about the dangers of the old forest?
The seductive lure of mossy forgotten tombs, and ancient magic sleeping uneasily in the shadows?

So I finished the main story of Z-A late last week. A few thoughts:
- Really enjoy the battle mechanics, but the inability to pause at key points is annoying.
- Story is kind of a disaster. 5 mins and I can improve all plot points.
- Lack of menace from "antagonists" neuters all tension.

My dad is still digitizing all his physical photos, and as part of that effort, by request, he put together a chronology of our trips while there (and one when we returned for good in 1994).
We were very blessed.
