Im intrigued to see what this game has in store. Also, what God has as a backup plan when Linda inevitably kills Ken.

Wait, do her "tests" actually deal damage, and if so, can she actually kill Ken with them?

I'm assuming that it's a different storyline for each scenario, and not just different amounts of animals/time limits in place? Because I really hope Linda doesn't lose her memory each time.

So if a season is supposed to be 15 minutes long but only transitions after a screenspchange, what happens if you spend 30 minutes before doing a screen transition? Does it just jump to the "correct" season, or does it go to the next one in order?

Hypocrisy posted:I have to admit, that cut scene definitely surprised me. I like how the boss completely believe Ken's tale of his Santa cosplaying murderous twin brother. Did we already know Ken was adopted? Eh, the room in question had a giant hole in the back wall, presumably leading outside, so its not unbelievable. Also... the gently caress are up with those PC-Engine Penguins? That's some "At the Mountains of Madness" tier stuff there.

Now, see, I'm of two minds about that. On the one hand, if the ark is a living creature, and needs people to pilot it, then it makes sense to trust it. After all, it wants to live too. On the other hand, the original version makes it look like the walls are muscles, while the new one... that's a stomach. Definitely makes me think you're just collecting food for the space beast.

I was kind of curious how the scenario plots meshed with the scenario goals just being "Noah's Pokemon". Good to see that you have to play through the plot first. And that tree scene is cute, but do both people have to be there for it to count (so Ken would have had to be with the nurse when she carved it) or was that just a thing Ken and Linda did together, while normally it's just one person who sneaks in and carves their name and their crushes name?

Bloodly posted:...Wait, "Mother"? What on earth? Did I miss something? So, near as I gather, the mayor of the one town and Mrs Vampire had an affair and she birthed two kids. One was put up for adoption and the other... actually, New was probably raised by her, considering how crazy they both seem.

So Neo-Kenya was Earth all along, despite the people who came to Neo-Kenya being Earthlings who fled Earth to start with... ow my brain. And do the later scenarios expand on dafuq happened with Hume, or is it just a "Hume went crazy, and not due to drugs either" thing?

Booky posted:it was pretty overshadowed by the entirety of the end parts, but it's very funny you can just go "nah im good i don't wanna learn murder santas deal" and ditch the planet I mean... considering that Ken and Linda are the only two that can leave on the Ark in the first place... eh, Linda's parents are going to die soon enough anyways, all "Psycho Santa" would have done is let them beat the rush

 And that's... random. Very, very random. So what I'm getting is that town is hosed no matter what? If it's not being harvested for delicious, delicious elixirs of immortality, it's being randomly purged.

So... does answering "Yes" to Sachiko's question actually change anything, or is it just a "joke" moment where she acted shy about asking the question, just to reveal she was just doing it to analyze Ken?TurnipFritter posted:1) Every single image of Sachiko seems to convey an entirely different personality: Her dialogue portrait looks dead inside, the full screen art of her makes her look like a normal person who is uncomfortable in the costume they're wearing, and her status menu portrait makes her look smug and haughty. ("Dead inside" seems to be her actual personality) Her dialogue portrait looks less "dead inside" and more One Punch Man "OK face" to me. Not necessarily emotionally dead, just extremely bored.

Blaze Dragon posted:It'd explain her complete lack of knowledge about good and evil, weird lack of emotions and the fact that we just saw her twin sister (which no one commented on). What ever are you talking about? That other woman was wearing sunglasses. Also, has anyone else noticed you never see Clark Kent and Superman in the same room together?

Item Getter posted:Leaning towards an actual robot just because of the random line about "this secretary is actually a robot" in the same area where her look-alike turns up. That's what I'm thinking too. You have robots that are virtually identical to humans, then suddenly Sachiko's doppelganger is blowing up shuttles for fun and pro... actually, going by how Sachiko acts, maybe just for fun.

As a whole, publishers in Japan also seem to be more willing to take risks with what we would consider to be "oddball" games. Stuff like LSD and Linda^3 would probably never see the light of day over here outside of Steam (before consoles had digital stores at any rate)

ivantod posted:Kind of. Maybe tutorial is a bit of "strong" word, but it is true that the first two scenarios were added to "ease" the player into it for the part of the game that Shoji Masuda originally wanted to make, which was the open world exploration (which is now Scenario C). So yeah... I can tell you it took quite an effort on my end to not spoil this ahead of time and I hoped that people wouldn't get too annoyed with my constant "later, later" until we get to this point! Well, at least "later" is now! That makes sense. This way, it gives the players a chance to learn where 30/50 of the animals are earlier on, so 100/120 seems less daunting when you actually get to that point. Shame about the apparent dead man walking situations though.

Bloodly posted:He fell only on his back. How did he take so much damage? I'm willing to bet Linda's to blame for the non-spinal injuries. She seems like the type of person who would immediately try smacking Ken awake, and she is inhumanly strong outside of combat even without her dad's arm.

Raitzeno posted:what if both versions are canon due to time travel/loop fuckery? some of the animals have stayed the same because they worked during the last series of arkloops but some didn't so it's trying again and hoping that something changes so they don't have to remake the game a second time and change things up yet again I wonder if there's some other versions planned out there that we could add in to this ball of confusion.

Huh. I can see what's going on in the first 2/3 (depending on if the cloaked figure is supposed to be Hume or Ken) but... the 4th seems out of place. Linda seems afraid of Ken? Is that part of the expanded Hume/Nek storyline from Scenario 1?

The plot twist of "God" being Ken's adopted dad is... actually, that's pretty good. So the entire plot is just a perpetual cycle of "Mass extinction event saving as many species as possible->modify surviving species to survive in the new world->mass extinction event..."?

I mean, there is the VERY odd quest reward and a small chance to get them from smooth eggs or the auction house, but that's... very much a dick move. "Did you pass on the one quest reward and they didn't spawn the one time you were talking to GodDad? gently caress you, Gachapon time."

DACK FAYDEN posted:the consensus is that we are all rude dudes who don't visit our ol' man often enough Hey, it's not Ken's fault that his dad decided to go all "I AM GOD! HERE IS AN ARK" and didn't mention "BY THE WAY, KEN, GOR TO THE HIDDEN LAND DEEP UNDERGROUND, I WISH TO MEET WITH YOU, AND TELL YOUR MOTHER I SAID HELLO." You can blame Ken, but he was busy trying to preserve 2 of every animal, and thought his old man was dead-dead.

While I'm sad we never got the game released over here, considering the... hit-and-miss translations of games during the PSX/Saturn/N64 Era, I'll consider it a blessing. The humor is probably enough that Working Designs would probably have picked it up, but considering how some animals are only hinted at by random NPC dialog, and this is the company that managed to gently caress up a puzzles text so badly they had to post the answer on their website...
