the name of this AIDA is...Oswald. Huh.

00:49

it's a spider. SPIDA

the AIDA names are always a bit strange, but I like them

"Oswald" is underrated as far as "a bit strange" names go

00:52

also Endrance really just going Full Tuxedo Mask there huh

00:52

and then literally going Full Tuxedo Mask as he exits

00:52

lmao

CH: I like to think his player grew up on a diet of shojo manga

same

for reference the normal boring AIDA we fight is named ANNA

00:54

anyways, we fight it, it's a hard fight but nothing particularly noteworthy. It's a spider boss. It does web based attacks

00:54

the commentator has no idea what just happened

00:54

huh...that's interesting

00:54

people seem to have seen...something

00:54

00:55

haseo and endrance are staring at each other for a bit

THIS MOTHERFUCKER

okay well

00:55

uh

00:55

that seems healthy

lmao

00:56

fuck

archaeo

that seems healthy

look. did we cure all of endrance's crippling mental health problems overnight? No

00:56

but did we we direct his desperate need for a co-depandant relationship where someone tells him what to do and how to feel into a useful direction?

00:57

yes.

00:57

and that's progress.

CH: he's trying! he did a thing!

scene straight up ends up that

I mean what more needs to be said

Haseo and endrance stare at each other and say each others names, in a way I can only describe as homosexual

00:58

also the first game's main theme plays so I might as well link it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehh5Df7opn0

I mean Haseo is one of the least straight protagonists I have ever seen be so thoroughly enmeshed in one of the most heterosexual possible JRPG plots (edited)

CH: I love my weird depressed flowery himbo ok

00:58

00:59

wow this guy is just...An Homosexual

respect

00:59

so just to be clear

just a chain of codependance

is the game playing this as something that is unwelcome by Haseo, like an annoyance?

not really

I'm trying to think of a good example and drawing a blank

00:59

not Pepe le Pew

haseo is just kind of like "oh okay this is happening, sure"

More like Leeron from Gurren Lagann maybe

01:00

"we need this fruity weirdo to accomplish our goals"

also I missed the screenshot but there was a trip to the close up zone where Saku is giving a big smile and saying "we're going to be good friends now"

(which I think is how most of my bosses have discussed me in meetings)

01:00

lol

01:00

jesus

and then immediately cuts to this

You Love To See It Folks

that is Saku grinding her foot into haseos, if it's not clear

01:01

yeah the game is actually taking the comedy in this from Saku's reaction to it all rather than Haseo's reaction to Endrance

01:01

which is kinda nice

yeah I'll take it

archaeo

people in an MMORPG being bad at communicating?

I am catching up and lmao

CH: MCR's "Teenagers" plays in the background

I've been saying some really awesome sentences lately yeah maria lol (edited)

Pi mentions that, now that Sakubo and Endrance have joined, there are only two unknown epitaph users. Haseo thinks back to what Ovan said

01:03

wait does Ovan not have an epitaph

we'll stop there

that's not possible

okay so real talk

01:03

the two other phases are Yata and Ovan.

01:03

This was revealed from the earliest promotional material. (edited)

But somehow no one knows that Yata himself has one, and no one has interrogated ovan too closely (edited)

wait which one is Yata again

01:04

the old man or the like,

Glasses man

other guy

er
