So wait, if Zagat was only evil because he knew he had to stop the magic knights from killing Emerald, what would hav happened if Emerald never sent the knights out in the first place?

Would Zagat still be evil? Would there even be a loving bad guy?? Holy poo poo this is stupid.

World collapses because Emerald is thinking about love instead of holding it together. She literally picked her boyfriend over the survival of everybody else in Cephiro.

I seriously thought you guys knew the ending and were making jokes about it in earlier episodes. It was a pleasant surprise to see all of you stunned when CLAMP pulled the dumbest twist.

We are seeing the outtakes at some point right?

Yeah but then we beat her up. Did she go back to thinking about holding it together or did the world wind up destroyed anyway?

fwiw the "answers" the second season gives aren't any less arbitrary

yes, they technically deal with it, no, it's not terribly satisfying

e: shoulder nudity gently caress

Oh, that bit in the credits about patient Saturn fans? Working Designs delayed this game so much that it released after the console died.

In all the Trails games the main character keeps detailed notes for every quest, although most of them are just a basic dry account of all the steps you've taken so far. Also there are no doodles. Doodles would definitely be an improvement.

I'm so glad the localizers prioritized the diary entries for voice acting even though they couldn't afford to voice act the entire game. This game had so much unexpected personality, and the points where it became too anime were funny-bad rather than offensive or boring.

They stuck to voicing the diary entries because voicing actual scenes would possibly lead to one or more of these random hauled-in-off-the-street goofs attempting to, like, act.
