Final Fantasy XVI ep 5 Hideaway Sidequests and Codex Reading

This is a sharp downturn in action. Now that we are hooked after the high stakes, high drama opening we are introduced to some side quests and given the opportunity to read all the codex entries. (Yes, I know it isn't called that in game and I don't care.) So I take a stab at it. The sidequests are kind of shockingly bad. I know it's supposed to tutorialize it but this is the writing quality of filler quests from FFXIV. The rewards are good at least. Then it's story time with Raz as I read as much of the codex as I can. We learn a little more about the world and have some of my questions answered. Next time we will finish up the codex and get back into the action.
