I'm not sure if this is a bug or something that i skipped, which wouldn't be weird, but in the metrolia ruins there's a chest that's locked, right. what i assume is the key is downstairs at the library, but if i retrieve it and try to go get the chest it's already snowed and it's gone, even though i haven't slept or even fought the punk that is down there. even the other two characters are there around the stairs.
**edit: also, i equipped the one shield on fierce that causes fear on the monsters and now every monster ever starts fights with the fear status, regardless of whether fierce is on the party or not.
