why did we cut away from anything for this sequence

01:01

why not just have Ovan do that Tri-Edge symbol and drop us directly into this location

01:01

it feels like they made an extra dungeon and just sort of tossed it in there lol

"are you sure the player will be leveled high enough, better make sure" maybe? I dunno

that might make sense if that fight looked at all hard lol

good point

CH: "do you want to level more before you get your ass kicked by the game boss? are you sure?"

ahahaha

like are there side quests or something?

01:03

a super dungeon?

01:03

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

01:04

weird game design decision that seems way more likely to just be "well we had this dungeon"

CH: Adler keys

there are some yeah

there's Doppelganger, but he's optional

I actually need to restart because I uh foolishly thought this was a solo boss for whatever reason

yeah but that can't be a motive really, "guys, we still have adler keys that they have to collect"

01:04

oh dang, oops

CH: we forgot ours, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

01:06

I think I have just Atoli and Endrance's ultimate weapons

01:08

that was much easier

and we get his ass

01:17

Haseo's VA is doing good work here

01:17

he just sounds so broken

01:18

so, no

01:18

we got a whole game left

01:18

01:19

01:20

(we are not done yet)

Haseo... :<

The Worst Possible Truth

01:21

a smash cut to credits would've been better than Yata taking 100 words to say "yeah you just made him log out dude"

and we hear a scream

who?? (edited)

01:22

whomst?

you'll see eventually

01:22

we have one more thing to do

01:22

do we know if they live a very great distance apart irl?

I don't think they have any idea who the other is irl

there's something really funny to me about the assumption that nobody knows who people online are

It's been there from the very start

and so one more time we come here

come on dude

01:28

I love how they did this really nicely crafted anime twist

01:29

and then just stomped all over their own balls on the way to this wet fart of a finish

bye bitch

the pieces are all there but it does like

01:29

idk it's so weirdly paced

or like, were there just several different visions for how that ending worked, and this was the compromise?

that said, I wouldn't trade Ovan just fucking close talking at Haseo for anything

I feel like I could just take the storyboard for this part of the game and do a little switcharoo and bam

01:29

you just have a good ending

I legit just forgot all the bad parts

oh no that's a great sequence

because they are so forgetable

01:30

and remembered all the incredibly cool shit

lol

CH: this game is so amazingly gay

I mean that's totally fair though because the incredibly cool shit is incredibly cool

01:30

also yeah it is an extremely gay game

For a game that is extremely straight, yes

Shaiapouf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhSQfkY5bcI&list=RDMMhhSQfkY5bcI&index=1

also I fucking love this song, highly recommended

01:31

But yeah I think if you do this exact ending, just immediately teleport to the Ovan fight, skip Yata's exposition, and then jump to Atoli's e-mail and the final scene

01:31

you got a fantastic ending

honestly what you need to do

01:32

is have that black screen Haseo bit played IRL

01:32

as the only cutaway from the action in that place where you jump to Atoli's email (edited)

huh

there's some strength to the conceit that we only really see things that are recorded/happen digitally

Happy Maria

huh

yeah

maybe leaving it black is fine!

01:33

the action direction and color work in this game are really something

01:33

they do a fair bit of work with the big empty MMO spaces

01:34

but the close-ups and tightly composed shots are nice

01:34

looks really good in widescreen, was it originally fullscreen on ps2 or whatever?

CH: I like the implication that whatever just happened was so severe as to possibly injure Haseo. AIDA isleaking

I'm not sure tbh

that's just a gunblade

jfc you tube for some reason opened the video as part of "My Mix"?

01:39

and it's just a psychotic grouping of videos

it's actually a bayonet, technically he's a gunner

"bayonet" is just a lame way to say "gunblade" tbh

fair

01:40

anyways I have a bunch of things I'm going to need to do before starting Vol 3 so It will be a while before this continues, though I will at some point dig into the Terminal Disk again
