It's a good thing that most of those rear end in a top hat scientists were compressed into a black hole for their crimes, yet somehow Zill survived and is making up for their absence in spades.

They just transferred their dickishness to her.

Does the 5000 years matter much to the plot? Because as is, you could cut it without much trouble.

Because I find it very hard to believe someone who has been alive for 5000 straight years would be anything like what they used to be. I mean holy poo poo. That is a loving long time.

You would think that after the poo poo she pulled last game, Kanon would know that any side that Zill agrees with is the wrong one.

If Kanon has not been brainwashed, I have to call her too dumb to live. I mean really. Trusting Zill?

Seriously? loving seriously? Hide and go seek? With someone who has tried to murder everyone several times.

Except that the game seemed to have been saying that it was switched over to meat-fuel specifically because Zill/Nelo needed more power.

Oh whatever...

By the way, what is your Avatar a reference to?

So...

No one noticed that the engines of the colony ship weren't on for 5000 years?

So what % of the problems in the plot so far would have been fixed by killing Prim?

You mean really good if they got captured again. Because honestly, I cannot feel too sad about whatever happens to them.

It's kind of funny how these games emphasize the power of friendship because off-screen the only reason they couldn't weaponize the power of friendship and conquer the world is because the bad guys can't understand it.

A game where the villains weaponize the power of friendship and love would be amazing.

We just had a short aside about how the engineers for Ar Tonelico and the Song Server evidently had no concept of security or disaster planning for their large and complex systems, what makes you think they would have bothered with an environmental impact study?

Seems like the prevailing logic of people on Ar Ciel is "Can we do it?" "Yes" "Do it"

Indeed. Create a superpowerful little girl, then abuse her. What could go wrong?

What are the details of Sol Cluster that make you think that?
I mean, Sol Ciel were total dicks.

Well a guy from there intentionally sabotaged the effort to revive the planet so thoroughly that the only person who could execute said effort cut off their memory of everything connected to it rather than recall what happened.

And frankly it was by far the biggest poo poo-show of the three regions in the present day and that to me says something.

One guy isn't the best sample of an entire society.

Sol Ciel was pretty drat hosed up during Mir's era.

I don't think there is enough data to tell whether Sol Cluster was horrible.

Why don't they just kick Prim's rear end?

That sounds like a much more interesting game than this one.

Agreed.

Oh sorry I'm talking about 5's DLC. He joins Adell and Rozalin for a super strong trio of maps.

Like I'm not going to say I'd never LP it because it's not outside the realm of possibility but of it, DD2, and 5 I definitely prefer the latter 2. And if I were at the point of psyching myself up for an NIS sprg that I'm somewhat less enthused about it'd probably be the long-awaited Phantom Brave LP (no I'm not LPing Phantom Brave next but for entirely different reasons).

Actually gently caress it here are the twofold reasons for why Phantom Brave will require like strange aeons the stars are right poo poo:

1) It is extremely depressing for like 90% of the plot. The last bit is awesome but god drat does it punch you in the gut on the way there.

2) Phantom Brave is something really special and will require a lot of work to show off the way I'd want to.

So yes no Microsoft Excel Presents: Little Girl Anguish Simulator in the near future.
Nothing in the world had me wishing for a Demon Path more than Phantom Brave.

I cleared chapter 1. Walnut happened :argh:.
Even knowing it eventually gets better, Little Girl Anguish Simulator beat me.
Seriously, gently caress that guy. With a rake.

No that's the real worst part about Walnut, he's doing all that bad poo poo while convincing himself he's still in the right because of what he's doing with the money.

He's a good guy who, through a gradual chain of increasingly terrible choices, eventually finds himself constantly doing awful things and not even really recognizing they're such until their results literally threaten the world.

Pretty much. Hell, if Marona had been even slightly less heroic, even his little sister would have died from monster attacks, rendering even the reason he was so awful meaningless.

Why is Spica one of the worst people without context?

Mir I can get. She did kinda flip out and kill millions. But remind me what Spica did?
