Just when you thought Beta was the end of it, no! We're not ones to sit on our laurels. The Poms soldier on. Hopefully we'll soon have pics of the wonderful swag Atlus is sending us, because we love them so much. For now, there's still a world to explore, and I'm just the Pom to explore it.
Of all the events in the wide land of Chrysalis worth celebrating, today's release of the fabled and feared Rope Isle has to be the grandest and greatest yet. It's a whole small continent full of new monsters and new challenges, with an enemy nation camped so near you can almost hear them plotting.

Immediately after docking at the Rogwel stronghold I board my steamwalker and get to walkin'. There are only two steam balloon routes in Rope Isle, but once you get to the Crom city north of town there's a cannon to catapult yourself (at a steep price) further into the fray.

Best leave this chap alone
But once it seemed I'd walked halfway across the island, I hit an impass: A massive rounded shield door. Built, it read, to keep the war in.
Past this shield wall lies the battleground, the place where the two realms of Chrysalis will soon meet for large-scale war.
On the other side of the shield was a small stronghold with a few guards, and a deposit of lesser energy stones. Everywhere were ports for the building of war machines, cannons, zeppelin docks. There were three castles with massive gates and fortifications, and inside, a steam core.
The war field is eerily silent and entirely empty, but one can just imagine what unspeakable sufferings are in store for these windy plains.
Look, the Elerd-held castle. I can't go in right now, but might as well take a snapshot of myself pretending to conquer it.
Our precious steam core, essential for holding Garmedis castle. Also inside our castle was the entrance to the Ancient and Abyssal factories, some of the darkest dungeons known to Pom.
That was my first look at Rope Isle. Sure it was a look from atop a speeding steam walker, but I did manage to get a good glimpse of what's in store. I'll get down to exploring it in full just as soon as I'm a little less prone to dying.
Back to the grind! Poms for the win!
