I at first thought today's Advent item was something like the blood vials for the baking-type festival creatures, but then I read the description and realized it sounded a lot like how the Mega Zone health potions are going to work.

I think we're getting a step closer to the Mega Zone with the winter fest, and wouldn't it be awesome if the "Lost Grove" was something like a first taste of features, and a prequel, lore-wise, for the MZ? The King commissions us to do something beyond the notorious un-unlockable door from the autumn festival zone, and our adventurers find this mysterious Lost Grove, with a locked door or mystical portal of it's own. It's a grove between worlds, not quite the primary world of Sylestia, but not yet the Mega Zone.

_{And, though I'm sure they won't, it does make me wonder if our unnamed fluffy friends might make an appearance. Ah... if only.}

But, hey, that's just a wild guess. A pet-game wild guess!

I really love this idea. It would be a great way to link the festivals, and it would finally stop me from wondering what is hiding behind that door. :D

Also, is that a Game Theory reference I spy over there or am I just imagining things?

The door needs a purpose! *Nod* Putting an impossible door in full view of that many people is a sure-fire way to get them excited and curious, and I'm really hoping Krin is aiming all that excitement at the MZ. :) It has been in the works for so long, it deserves some build-up.

_{It is, indeed. Clap-and-a-half to you, fellow theorist.}

Today's advent calendar prize seems to indicate something like this. I hope you're right!

Me: I wonder what I will get today on advent calendar

Me: Holy crap Holy crap what the heck might this be this might be awesome excitement off the charts the charts are broken no freaking way megazone confirmed confirm feature of megazone? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
