I can hear you
Diabolic Edge is superior to Maverick Edge in every way. I think he talks about bad karma because he levelled up from killing things maybe?

Blue Dragon has a invisible things to pick up by rubbing your face around the outside of every room and anything that looks like an item in the scenery. If there's a broken down machine you can probably click on it and get a small stupid prize of a potion or whatever. Kinda like Hidden Gathering points but more consistent.

Did I just watch a 25 minute long cutscene?

It's not like this is the first cutscene this long that we've seen, though thinking about it, all of the previous ones this long or longer may have wound up split between videos.

True, but the only other one that springs to mind was the one (relatively) recently where Crowe meets up with Edge.

Also, it feels like this plot twist doesn't change anything and the second half of the cutscene was pointless. It doesn't change what the characters are going to do, all that's different is that I guess Edge and Reimi can't go back to Earth. Big deal, I'm sure they can settle down on Roak somewhere with all the money RPG protagonists inevitably stockpile. It bothers me hot utterly not-mattering it all was. Also, everything else in that cutscene.

To me the voice over, and I'm not blaming the VA's directly as they were more than likely directed to imitate how it was done in Japanese, is the worst part of the game or damned close. I can stand repetitive and monotonous game play and a subpar/idiotic plot but hearing the word "'kay" every time a person speaks or having the characters sound like a parody of themselves the further the game goes on kills it for me. I liked Star Ocean 2 when I was younger and though 3 was...adequate but this game killed the series for me.

That said I want to thank Wateyad and Pork Lift for doing the LP on the game, by this point I had already set my controller down to never pick it back up and it would cool to see how the rest unfolds.

The hosed up thing is, Lym doesn't even have that trait in the Japanese, from what I remember hearing. There's not much you can really do with a character like Meracle though cause everything about her is awful.

Wet doing the same stuff as her, however, make for one of the best scenes in the game.

wateyad posted:

Lymle's speech thing in Japanese is that she uses the の (no) sentence ending particle which lends the preceding sentence an explanatory tone together with the よ (yo) sentence ending particle which marks the preceding sentence as an assertion. She also speaks in a childishly straightforward manner, always using casual language rather than polite 丁寧語 (teineigo) or formal 敬語 (keigo). As such 'kay? is actually a pretty accurate localisation of what she's doing.

Probably TC. I hear she LF. (I was actually surprised that wasn't the punchline to that cutscene, with Edge bringing the others back and finding the plate nearly empty).

Foolish child of man...
After reading all this,
do you still not understand?
The weirdest thing about this game for me might be how disconnected it feels. Every part of the game is a totally new plot thread that seems to have nothing to do with anything that's happened before it, like they were all written by different people, then incorporated into the game in random order.

Because that wouldn't result in a played out stock anime "wacky" "misunderstanding".

The first time we selected En II off of the travel menu was in episode 34. I think the in character decision would have happened in 32 but I don't feel like checking in detail right now.

Is it just my imagination or are you guys putting up videos more frequently? Just curious if you're trying to rush this out of the way so you can start BD.

I need to get a new 360 so I can play along.

When we started the thread, I was posting videos every four days to be safe. Eventually we built up a pretty big backlog and I asked if people wanted them more frequently. The result was posting videos every three days with a promise that I'd move to every other day once the numbers indicated that it shouldn't result in a gap in updates. We've finished recording the game now so I've done that. There's still more than a month of this thread left even at this pace though.

Uhh, in the previous episode, did no one pick up on Sarah being inbred as all hell? That might explain a whole lot.
