That was so dumb. I can't believe they didn't even try to justify Edge living.

I know it would have wrecked the dumb drama and "poignant" sacrifice stuff, but when the place started crumbling and Wallpaper was all ready to be left behind I really wanted everyone to grab a bit of him and drag him to the exit the same way they did with Bacchus back on the Cardianon station.

It really needed MC Scythesalot to just lean over and lop wallpaper off at the wrist and then scowl at people for being soft.

Game beaten, all but four endings gotten (MeowMix, Limb, and the hidden endings for Crowe and Faize)... good job! I did really enjoy watching you bumble your way through a game I know more or less by heart at this point; it was an interesting experience, in a good way. Looking forward to your next LP (Blue Dragon, was it?)!

Kenny saluting Edge: "Edge Maverick, master of Space Chess. Conqueror of the black hole planet that was going to Unicron our dead planet where we all live underground because we nuked ourselves to annihilation. Friend to at least 1 of each known race from other worlds. Truly, you are The Last Hope International." *LATE TITLE CARD HERE* Also thanks for suffering through this game. I forgot what it was actually like until all this.

Thanks for the LP guys, thanks for sticking with it and never giving up! Just like our dear friend Edge! Do you think there is an alternate earth where Tri Ace can write good stories? Can I blow up this earth and move there?! And now its time to go back...back to the LP OCEAN

Nothing ever truly ends in the infinite internet ocean. "Faize? What are you doing here?" Edge moved a strand of hair from his eyes, " Is there something you need?" "I-I need to speak with you." Faize stammered. "Right now? I...I'm a bit filthy." He stated, his cheeks colored vermilion. "Please. This is imperative." "...Come inside the battle dome Faize. I'll lock the door." Edge said as he inputed the necessary codes to change the room to private stargazing mode, beds splaying out into more horizontal positions. "So...what did you need to speak to me about?" Faize flustered, words on the tip of his tongue begging to be spoken.

For the record, Pork Lift has been extremely busy and we haven't started recording for the next thread yet so don't expect it to go up tomorrow or anything. That said, how have you all been liking the every other day updates? When we do start a new thread. for the update schedule, how much weight would you like to be put on avoiding gaps in the schedule vs the current updates always being from the most recent recording session?

It was a good schedule for me, but I'd prefer slower updates over larger gaps.

That was Faize's little space scooter thing. They're coded to be able to seek out Eldarian biosignatures (Faize mentioned it when you first meet him) and so Faize called it at the end there to save them. Still doesn't justify that there's no explanation given though if you didn't buddy up with Riderman.

I might be wrong, but from when I played like, a decade ago at this point, people online said it was also almost impossible to even get Faize's ending without doing a ng+. Just to have him in the party the entire game to get friend points. So they really make you work for that explanation if you don't just look it up.

There are ten specific private actions you need to see in order to get Faize's ending; we missed at least two of them. NG+ has nothing to do with it. Crowe's ending is similar; you need four PAs (we missed two), plus you need the endings for MeowMix (didn't get hers), PeriPeri, and SamRaimi.

I really liked the frequent schedule. Honestly there wasn't a lot going on in this game. If you get a lot of nothing it almost feels like something. This game was really kinda boring at some parts, so I might have dropped the LP if you had posted less often.

wateyad posted:He's referring to the Calnus and the Aquila. I thought Crowe's ship was supposed to be a different brand, an Eldarian ship, but looking it up on ~the Star Ocean wiki~ it is apparently SRF so I guess that's it. That plot thread was still ludicrous. It went nowhere and was of no consequence other than them having to change the name of the organization.

I like mass-recording, because it affects your psyches, it becomes a meta-game for viewers and we know with the dates listed that you've been giving it your best for a while. Regular updates are awesome over F5 sessions for weeks like with other LP groups. I dig the caravan style.

I mean, we're going to keep doing whole days of recording and then parceling them out because that's the only practical way for us to get anything done. I'm just trying to figure out whether to post the videos at a rate of one every two, three or four days. I'm leaning towards three right now. This thread started at every four, to be safe, moved to three with episode 18 when I felt that we were getting enough recording done for that to be safe and finally moved to every other day once we'd finished the game with episode 71.

Thanks for suffering through this games for us. So what is the postgame like, and how broken is Synthesis? I attempted to google a bit about Synthesis, and discovered that the first hit on google for "so4 crafting system" is an article entitled "Star Ocean 5's combat is the worst battle system I've ever played ...".

It's hard to pick one dumb thing to hate the most out of all of this, but the idea that the Eldarians, having lost their technologically advanced homeworld, deciding to just pack it in and live on Lemuris instead of living with their roughly at-parity allies on Earth is maybe it?

Well to be fair, Edge would probably whine about bootstraps if they decided to go there. He'd probably see it as still piggybacking on Eldar. He is literally Cave Johnson, obsessed with doing all his science from scratch because he doesn't understand that science is always borrowing from existing methodologies.

To weigh in, FFXIII was easy to struggle through. Like, it wasn't very fun and was at some points infuriating, but you just followed the line until the credits. This game I kept expecting wateyad to put the controller down and close the thread, and we even floated the idea of doing so at certain points (guess which!) As he said, we haven't started the next thing JUST yet. I've had a weird amount of irons in the fire and just got a new job so I've not been very helpful in that regard. We'll be back soon though! I crave attention far too much to stop!

It's a weird thought to imagine you with a grown-up job, it doesn't fit your persona. It's like seeing your teacher at the grocery store and realising that she doesn't live at the school like you thought :P

hahaha wow this loving game. I just remain stunned at the atrocious design and writing decisions. I would never play it or watch a sincere LP of it. but your mixed fascination and irritation with the enduring badness of it made things somehow magical. that and the dense layer of running jokes. I'm looking forward to whatever you're doing next. Blue Dragon? no idea what the deal with that is, but I have to imagine it's better than this. Everything is.

I'm not sure I even want to watch the final video. I feel like I've gotten all the context I need from what people have commented on so far, and I'd rather not watch 20+ minutes of something that's just going to upset me with how terrible it is. Thanks for LPing this horrible trash fire game, Porklift and Wateyad! I hope you guys LP fun, enjoyable games more often!

I swear there was no reason for MeowMix to even be in this game, out of all the characters. Granted Faize didn't really need to be in it either except so they could make him the final boss.
