Itoi's response is :smith:

as hell, dude can just write the saddest stuff

quote:

"No matter the farewell, I think the most appropriate thing to say is, 'We'll meet again.' We are friends so we'll see each other again. There is nothing strange about saying it. Yeah, we'll meet again. Even if you didn't have the chance to put into words how sudden it was going to be, how far you'd be traveling, or how you went much earlier than expected, I know you went wearing your best. You always put yourself second to others no matter what, helping anyone who needed it whenever they needed it. You were that kind of friend. Although you may have been a little selfish for the first time ever by taking this journey.

The truth is, though, that I still don't believe any of it. I feel like I am going to receive a message from you inviting me out to eat at any moment. I wouldn't mind if you were to ask me like always if I had some free time. If you did, I'd ask you as well. Still, "we'll meet again." It would be great to hear from you whenever and wherever; I'll being calling to you too. I'll call if I have something to discuss or I want to tell you a great new idea I've had. We'll meet again. Then again, you're here with me now."

I like the music and writing and I enjoy archaic turn based JRPGs but good lord the text speed is so slow. I chose medium speed at the start and haven't seen a way to change it.

Fungah! posted:

i'm like 80% sure there's an option to change it somewhere but idk where. maybe there isn't

Call your dad, save your game, reset, go to the save on the file select menu, I think you can change it there.

hell yeah that part is amazing. childhoods everywhere were haunted by that disembodied rear end in a top hat.

poo just calls some stranger's dad on the ~~phone~~ parrot iirc, and then goes to get rended limb from limb by a ghost while he mediates.

additional statement from Itoi:

quote:

For a while, one of my wishes have been to be a "person whose funeral is lively". It doesn't matter if you are awarded Nobel Prize or won a gold medal. You don't need to be someone grand.

People fighting over turns to actively talk about the deceased. Small episodes, some mischieves you've done together, some stupid habits, mistakes made, small adventures you had, songs you sang in Karaoke, food you've eaten together, and places you've visited. I would love a funeral with such never-ending fond memories. For sometime, even now, I have been wanting to live as a person whose funeral would just be one of these.

I've had such talks with Iwata-san on many occasions, and together with Miyamoto-san and secretary W-san, we had talked about late Yamauchi-san. We have spent time in hot spa talking about him, a time where we were filled with both happiness and sadness at the same time. Leaving your name in history is just a small bonus. It's far more important to your life to have left all the fond memories and lasting impressions.

In reality, the funeral for a public person isn't a place for such common person, so it will have to be held in a separate venue. But, in such a wonderful place, I'm saddened that Iwata-san won't be able to attend.

A gathering to talk about not grand nor great, but a "good man", praising, teasing, and cherishing their memories.

Currently, I'm doing it alone. My wife who has frequently went to lunch together would join me sometimes, but I still feel lonely. Iwata-san was suppose to be attending my funeral.

I'm playing on an actual SNES. :v:

I guess it's debatable if the sword is worth the trouble. I just use the sword hunt as an excuse to powerlevel since it's easy to do so there.

I got two swords of kings the last time I played just walking through and fighting stuff normally (it actually sucks because you can't sell or throwaway the second one, so it's one more thing for Tracy, lol), but then I chose to grind dinosaurs for the other dumb useless stuff because I'm that kinda guy. I did use frameskipping though.
