Since then, we've added anims from

When

For Volume 2's extras,
@kobbers
showcased the domesticated birds of each kingdom--and at the same time created a group of characters we can kinda see starring in a killer JRPG.
That felis, for example? He definitely has the "Steal" command in his ATB menu.

Dakkan's quest to figure out just what the heck happened to his traitorous father requires him to play bad cop with the Sratha-din, but Crim's clearly worried about waking the neighbors...
