Zack needs to get rid of that anger, and there's a Chimaera right there to do it. Ursa can use the other weapon you got. Finally, might as well have Realga there to help Ursa live.

I mean, it says right in the title we're the Fafnir, Knight.

This makes perfect sense. Besides, the other Fafnir is Ranger, we might as well stick to basic job classes.

So a tortoise drops the skin of an ankylosaur which is actually not skin but armour, and not from a dinosaur but from a dragon?

This game makes no sense.

We had Girl Team take care of the Demon, so it's only logical to let the guys do stuff now. Asriel, Zack, Tyler, Ranger.

Seeing them change colours while on Force Boost makes me wonder if the same happens on the player's side and you just can't see it. If so...man, now I'm thinking of colour schemes, as if this was a Jojo game where everything changes colours suddenly and for no reason.

Artelinde looks drat neat on blue though, wish she used that colour scheme more.

Oh yeah, I wanted to point this out and I forgot.

These games have awful translations full of errors and laziness but they corrected how awful this particular battle was and I think it is worth pointing out. Taking images from Dr. Fetus' LP...



The game just gives the generic "monsters have appeared" text in the original for a reason that can literally only be laziness. This is dumb as hell, of course, Now here...



...it makes sense! And this isn't the only correction, as their death had an interesting quirk...

(unrelated, I appreciate how the model for Artelinde keeps the same pose as her original sprite)



...namely, that since apparently the game saw them as normal monsters instead of something unique, we got a completely nonsensical "the" there, as if Artelind(e) and Wilhelm were a part of a race. Now...



...the game correctly refers to them as individuals.

A surprisingly good work of an otherwise flawed translation that literally copy-pasted the original without making changes where they were needed, if I understood correctly.

Yeah, starting with EO3, the games started implementing the ability to override "Monsters have appeared!" with custom messages, such as "You stand before the Heavenbringer!" in EO4.

Atlus is actually SUPER lazy with cleaning those up from game to game--EO2U's battle message file still has, among others:
  • "The Abyssal King and Olympia have appeared!"
  • "The indescribable god has awakened!"
  • "You stand before the Heavenbringer!"
  • "The ultimate life form bursts forth from its larval body..."

As well as messages from the loving multiplayer functionality from EO3--"A communications error has occurred," among others.

Future-proofing. The moment they make EO3U or EO4U, they'll have the lines already in the game, and therefore they'll have less effort at that time. See, it's genius, not laziness. it's absolutely laziness

You have a SLEEP on Black Wing.

Bring Ranger and Milly. I want big numbers. Phoebe and Sophie can come too since only one side really needs big numbers. And I guess Rheine can help on the big numbers train too.

Colette, Phoebe, Freyja, Milly. If we're gonna be using ailments anyway, might as well get the most out of it.

This works.

Also wait, the Leukocyte's White Plasma and the Red Corpuscle's Red Plasma use the arms? What arms?

Also also if you hadn't said the Core Irae shrinking was a glitch, I would've thought it was meant to happen, beyond being sudden, it doesn't look all that weird or out of place. Casting HP Up though...that's a lot weirder.

Cass' portraits don't show in Dr. Fetus' update, they only appear as Pcass.

And Pokemon's Swagger was also the first thing I thought of when I saw that 50% boost on Crazed Glare.

It's rather rare to see you sighing with such melancholy, Dame Regina... Perhaps some rest would help?
There's a lot of recipes now. She worked too hard. Now she's tired. No, I never get worn out by cooking. To be honest, I'm more satisfied than I've been in a while, thanks to your efforts.
But even still... hm.

Isn't the bolded part said by Regina, not Chloe?

That looked genuinely unfun and terribly made, like a challenge made just for the sake of angering the player.

It's the single most Atlus thing I've seen in this Atlus series, is what I'm trying to say.
