Not that it's *wrong* or anything, but didn't you think there was A LOT of travelling between Altea and other towns during the beginning of the game?
You start off in Altea, from where you head for Phin.
Then you go back to Altea, and are told to get the Mithril.
The you return to Altea again, and now you're required to visit Bofsk.
Then you return to Altea once again, in order to get the password "Sun Flame", which you give to Cid in order to learn "Goddess Bell".

I found myself going like "back to Altea AGAIN?!" several times during the game.
It's not bad, mind, I just noticed this pattern.

It's the idea that you are Hilda's servant's in a way, when you finish a task, you go and ask for another, in that sense...

Yeah, I thought so, I just found it kinda crazy to return there all the time.
It truly felt like an adventure somehow, you run around on the world map and finish tasks.

There should have been a vehicle that automatically takes you to altea. Your a slave of the man!

Hilda is a total tease, that's how she gets guys to do whatever she wants.
