I cannot wait to see what grumpy Wet Maverick looks like when he has to capture and ride around on a space bunny.

It's really weird how they have Raimi sit out the dungeon/plot twice in a row, it might have been okay if Edge being regretful removed him from the party for a while, but here you barely have time to catch Raimi up level wise before she's removed again. It's almost like they had different teams do the writing and they didn't communicate.

Collecting children is making this anime awfulness better, by making it more anime? That's mad scientist logic, guys. If this keeps up, you're gonna start an episode and open the menu to reveal that you've renamed every character to KEVIN.

I have to admit that sometimes Meowmix and Limb's comic relief moments are pretty good. In small doses.

So whats the over/under that by the end of the game she'll learn to believe in her self and in a crucial moment learn to fly, if only in cutscenes?

It's a solid bet for final act. Whether it will be final dungeon or before that though... I'd say penultimate? Depends if the character ever matters.

As I said I've grown fond of Limb, but I will never stop thinking of MeowMix as a terrible character. Limb's vocal tic at least has a equivalent in U.S. english (some people really do talk like Mr. Garrison) so I can live with it, but the whole "Nyan"/"Meow" thing just does not translate culturally and me cringe every time she says it. Also, the trope we were all fearing Limb would be playing off of never really came to be, and if you know nothing about the horrors of Anime doesn't even register initially. MeowMix's outfit puts it in your face every time she is on the screen; and you don't need to know a thing about Anime Tropes to understand what kid-in-bondage-gear is trying to convey.

I can tolerate Limb by just imaging that she talks like that because she's baked out of her gourd.

I can only comprehend Meracle's outfit as being actually flesh-colored fabric and not what it looks like. Not that it makes it any better, but at least it doesn't look painful. I think it could have been interesting if she was actually a fully-grown adult but got treated like a child due to her size, but I knew that was never going to happen.

I broke my plausible mishearing renaming policy (Hedge, Rainy, Face, Buckets) to call Meracle "Dumbass" and it was the gift that kept on giving. Suddenly everyone was as contemptuous of her as all the terrible decisions involved in her design warranted.

First I thought the Church of "Sydonai" in the continent of "Astralia" would be the dumbest thing in the video, but that ending really took the prize.

I'm bad; I'm just not born that way.

Lias Warren and the king of Astral were both fairly important NPCs in SO1; both had plot items they eventually gave you and Lias was the father of one of your possible party members. The king looks almost exactly the same as he does in SO1, though Lias is 36 years less bishounen and missing an eye:

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
He's so emotional and sensitive about things I've always thought it was part of the joke, that it was his thing, his gag. Limb totally took a deep long hit of salvia and never escaped, she shows all the symptoms she recovered enough to be aware of other people's existence but still deep within the haze.

Wow. That coliseum entrance bit was the clunkiest thing I've seen in a JRPG in a long time. A little weird that the king isn't allowed to have a name, too. Definitely interesting seeing what's happening to SO4 now that it's veered off the rails.

And yet he really sucked at adapting to the destruction of an entire planet, unlike SamRaimi.

Tv's Crowe has probably destroyed three planets by now, without a passing thought for any of them.

I feel kinda bad for Wallpaper. He was gonna do something plot relevant just now and save his friend, but then Wet decided to finally have that character development he was saving up. All well, maybe he'll end up marrying that bunny ranch girl and have a nice life by the end of all this.
