Good old South Moundtop.  I never actually finished the game, last dungeon kicked my rear end too. That, and realizing I missed some awesome Quells because sidequests hate you.

dis astranagant posted:IIRC if you take the other path she'll marry Wil off screen and live to triple digit age. While Will becomes an absolute dick in his middle age. Really, it's probably kinder to kill her off.  But honestly, I forgot this could happen. I kept thinking of a different event with the Knights Family when people were talking about this. The egg sucks.

CmdrKing posted:Well, there's some other options, like "You were dead as soon as you entered this room" and variants thereof, but not many that involve Phillipe being alive at the end of all this. Honestly, with how self-loathing Gustave is, I wouldn't be surprised if the variants he was thinking of involved himself not being alive. The war between Gustave XIII and XIV was presented as a succession crisis. What's one more? Phillipe is a valid heir after Gus. That's how it always looked to me anyways, that Gustave was giving his brother a free chance at his head.

I always saw Tycoon Wil as a turning point. Up until then, Wil is the plucky heroic adventurer who scrapes by and finds the magnificent treasures. Then you get shown exactly what happens when you don't treat Quells with the proper respect. By someone else named Wil, no less. So you think that here's this perfect object lesson that keeps your protagonist humble. And nope! Wil becomes so obsessed with the Egg that he'll easily run past screaming civilians about to be slaughtered, only caring if they have the Egg or not. The passage of time: your hero becomes an rear end in a top hat.

There really is something frantic about this song. I think it's kind of interesting how despite trying to avoid the egg most of his life, in the end Rich makes sure to take it down with him. Contrasting his father, who went after it at every chance and did not in fact go down with the ship. I really like Rich as a foil to Will, and as the middle generation of the Knights family. Maybe it's due to the smaller parties, especially when you go down to just him, but his scenarios seem more personal than Will's or the third gen. More like the early Gustave action chapters really.

Seiren posted:Speaking of all that, I wonder if Wil will somehow "know" that this happens. I'd expect that if he did know what was happening, Wil would be very proud of his son for...in a sense, "continuing" his life's work in locating and disabling, removing, or destroying the Egg so its dangerous powers can't be wielded. Considering Rich sent Diana off suddenly with instructions to ask his dad about the egg, it's a pretty good bet that Will knows exactly what happened when his son never came back. And even if he is still walking around, he's not Rich anymore.

For some reason I had the order of Edelritter and Fake Gustave Appears switched around in my head, and thought that Sargon found the Egg here and became Fake Gustave. It doesn't help that the events are a year apart and they both have white hair.  I kept wondering how the hell the Egg ended up in the Slime Room. Because Fake Gustave brought it with him, of course.

I love Ginny's party.  It's like prime JRPG, all these teenagers with something to prove. And they make it work.

South Moundtop has got to be one of the most obtuse and luck based things in videogaming ever. It's like pinnacle SaGa.

"Defeat Gustave" is one hell of a win condition. It's also the one I took, because I didn't get how to do the '5-day fighting retreat' correctly. You've seen how hard it is to stall. I tried and tried, and always lost at the end, either to losing David or the base. Sometimes, "gently caress it, I'm just gonna throw all my units face first into certain death until I win" is the way to go. At least then your losses go quicker.
