Space Cadet Omoly posted:Or is Nicolai really just that much of an insecure jerk? A lot of this, a little of preemptively taking out a threat to Nicolai's evil plan. I don't even remember if he has one or the details, but frankly he's a bishie in a PS/PS2 era jRPG, having an evil plan is a given. Unrelated observation, of course the little girl from Domremy-la-Pucelle is called Jeanne.

Shitenshi posted:I was referring more to the Holy Mistletoe itself. You know Nicolai is bad news as soon as you look at his profile and he's described as a heretic disguised as a priest, but that Artifact of Doom was completely on the Pope's turf. It was under lock and key. Admittedly in a tutorial dungeon, but that's a gameplay conceit. Father Elliot and Father O' Flaherty were both part of the Vatican (and tasked with a relatively important mission to retrieve the Emigre manuscript) and from what we saw they were mostly all right. The Catholic Church here feels like the Aidios Church from Falcom's Kiseki series: mostly good with a shady enforcement agency that exists because having one is just common sense in a jRPG world.

Brainamp posted:Mentioning the party limit upgrade makes me sad that I still haven't found a jrpg that lets you use your entire expanded party in combat at once. Like when a game gives you like seven or eight people, I wanna see all of them crowding a field and beating on stuff at the same time. The two Mana Khemia games had three frontliners with a total party size of six/five*. The combat system revolved around constantly rotating everyone between the active frontline and the backline, while backliners recovered HP and SP at a decent clip. Not exactly what you asked for, but it's a decent way for everyone to contribute. *In the first game a 7th character joins in somewhat late but you still can only bring 6 people in the party, in the second game you occasionally get a guest character as 6th and in the postgame the two ateliers join up for a 10 man group, choose any six.

Welcome back, TDI. I'd like to point that if the scroll is actually from Solomon's time then calling it a book is fairly appropriate, not that Yuri would understand that. It's not like they had paper or printing presses at the time. I mean, what do you think the books in the library of Alexandria looked like?

Are we still in the stereotypical "leeches for everything" phase here? E: assuming it ever was a thing that happened of course But yeah, modern medicine is still in its infancy and a charlatan with the right idea could outperform court doctors with no clue. I'm also giving the Romanovs a lot of credit by assuming they hired actual doctors instead of charlatans pretending to be medics before Rasputin.

ultrafilter posted:My theory is that TDI's writing style was heavily influenced by this game, and that the Drakengard 3 writers were definitely familiar with the LPs from the rest of the series.  was aware of TDI and his Nier 1 LP. The Dark Id has been officially nominated as Nier's Ambassador to the West after that LP almost made more sales than the marketing department for the game.So I don't know if our favorite game maker still remembered about our fellow goon when he was making Drakengard 3, but it'll be forever my hypotesis that he pointed an intern with passable English at the LP archive and told said intern to take notes. They did an "everybody's dead, game over" joke for heaven's sake. As far as I can tell that's common only here on Something Awful\Discussion\Games\Let's Play.

Welcome back, and ouch that sounds painful.ultrafilter posted:The whole combat data thing is an overplayed anime trope but it's absolutely how you would go about building a weapons system. You might have simulated it in software and run it through tests, but until you see how it acts in a real fight you don't know whether it works. There's a similar process behind designing self-driving cars.  At this point translators should stop using "combat data" because it simply doesn't work in English, but field testing is not this strange concept. It doesn't help that the guys gathering combat data in animeland never loving say what improvements they're considering after gathering that data.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:Exactly, The Emigre Manuscript can raise the dead, but it can't restore a soul. It's just not that precise and when you try to use it to do that things go horribly wrong and nothing you do or try will change that. And theoretically if one had perfectly steady hands a power drill could maybe possibly be used for dentistry work (since a lot of dentistry tools ARE power drills, just calibrated for teeth) so there's always going to be that idiot that thinks he's got the perfectly steady hands (narrator voice: he didn't).

achtungnight posted:Personally I like the Kazama Kiryu style of Japanese foreign relations. It’s where you gladly work with foreigners who want to help your business or train you in something (see Yakuza 0), but go punch happy on those who would mess with your countrymen in a bad way (see Yakuza 3). Yuri probably endorses this diplomatic style too. What's the difference with the Kazuma Kiryu style of internal relations?

Ratoslov posted:Congratulations! That is the single most successful ressurection using the Emigre Manuscript yet! Almost five seconds of lucid sapience, and no monsterization! I say this calls for champagne all around! Night10194 posted:That went considerably better than I expected. And it only took both the most accomplished warlock in the world to cast the ritual and the most powerful monster slayer in the world with a specialization in suppressing malice to disperse the inevitable malice buildup. I'm thinking that before Roger translated part of the manuscript wrong on purpose, as a joke, the original author(s) also wrote down a lot of rituals wrong on purpose, as a joke.

Well, that happened.  Happy Landfill posted:Um but what about the woman festival?? Now that we actually saw the man festival I can try to answer: While I would trust these writers to write an equally funny two+ hours shitpost (shitquest?) with women, one gotta admit that a wrestling gauntlet to decide who will be the top and who the bottom in a yaoi scene doesn't really work if you simply swap* everyone's gender. *You. You there. I see you typing your  response. Don't.

I'm kinda curious how Shadow Hearts 2: Alice is alive edition would go. Probably Useless still manages to mistletoe Yuri, but Alice says screw that and purifies the curse in three days, a week top. Afterwards, lvl 99 Rude Hero and lvl 99 Alice Elliot carry the rest of the party in speedrunning the plot having even less respect for the joke villains.
