I was somewhere with minimal phone reception last night but got caught up
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 03:46 PM
It was just a single scene anyways
15:46
I expect to do the true ending and curtain call this weekend
15:46
Curtain call being all of the promise scenes I can bring myself to grind out
15:47
Plus any interesting email exchanges
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 04:22 PM
I think obviously the one everyone cares about is alkaid
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 04:36 PM
I will be doing a lot of character endings
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 05:38 PM
As I continue to work my way through the entire backlog of What Happened? haseo and the gang reach floor seventy
17:38
and find another teleporter
17:39
this one takes them back to our favorite massive wall to nowhere, Marrigu Barrow
17:39
this guy again
17:39
I am gonna guess we are here to fight the secret boss of Vol 2. Which I actually did fight off camera, to get some gear that I used for the whole of Vol 3
17:39
lol
17:39
yada yada
17:40
17:40
yada yada
17:40
this is an alternate, stronger form of The One Sin, which is basically like The World's Version of Absolute Virtue from FFXI, if you know about that
17:41
Balmung and Orca--the two players who were used by Aura to make Azure Kite's backup singers--were famous because they beat the boss, alongside a less well known woman named W.B. Yeats
17:42
but none of that has much of anything to do with Grass Untouched
17:42
17:42
17:42
17:42
17:42
anyways this is gonna be a whole thing for me to deal with
17:44
it melts shockingly quickly, and in fact gets haseo up to the level cap, huzzah
17:44
I...actually have no idea what the level cap for vol 4 is
17:44
maybe it's also 150
17:45
17:45
nevertheless,
17:45
and they poof away
17:45
that was a nice little digression
17:45
30 floors to go
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 05:55 PM
Bwahahaha
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 05:59 PM
oh hey it's our old friend, toungeface
Shaiapouf
Balmung and Orca--the two players who were used by Aura to make Azure Kite's backup singers--were famous because they beat the boss, alongside a less well known woman named W.B. Yeats
Skeith09-Jun-22 06:13 PM
Yeats didn't help. They didn't even know she was there, she watched from a distance
18:14
Since the gimmick of the original The One Sin they beat was that only a party of 2 people could beat it. Not a solo player or a party of 3
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 06:21 PM
oh, I misremembered
18:22
She is the one who watched and wrote a poem about it that became something of unofficial game lore
18:22
It's been a LONG time since I read AI buster
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 06:37 PM
I can't believe (K)Yeats sat there and wrote a poem
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:03 PM
okay I'm gonna try to pound out the back 20 floors of this thing and finally put this all to bed
21:03
if all goes as planned, I'll have the true ending for you all
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:53 PM
Friends
21:53
at along last
21:53
the party reaches floor 100
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:53 PM
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:53 PM
the gang takes another teleporter
21:54
back in the tree lake cave and with this fucko
21:54
oh no not the ceremony
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:54 PM
THE CEREMONY HAS BEEN COMPLETED
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:54 PM
I often think, when doing these quests, in universe players discuss how bad and half assed the story is
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:54 PM
hail to the digital god, whichever one we're on at this point
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:54 PM
which tbh makes sense, considering the context in which The World R2 was created
21:55
and maybe it's because I just watched a solid dozen of them in the process of doing this dungeon, but I can't help but imagine what a Wha' Happend video on The World R2 would look like.
21:55
Wild stuff
21:55
anyways
21:55
the ceremony, right
21:55
and so on
21:56
21:56
oh come on it's just Silver Chariot again
21:56
Haseo: I award you the Title of Big Boss
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
Haseo: god fucking dammit not you again
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
21:57
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
"why won't you die"
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
21:57
yep
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
and nothing of value was lost
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:57 PM
anyways they all eat shit
21:57
oh hey, he actually gets voiced dialog, which the triangle heads never do
21:57
21:58
anyways they all get exploded
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
shame
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
so what next
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
21:58
rip
21:58
21:58
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
I love the party just standing there straightfaced through this
21:58
just no expression
21:58
no pose
21:58
just
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:58 PM
probably eating a sandwich
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:59 PM
"breathing is fun"
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 09:59 PM
Zelkova says this, which honestly is kinda funny, given who Zelkova is
21:59
21:59
anyways
21:59
at last, time for the true super boss
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 09:59 PM
one true god later
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:01 PM
A god should never trouble a jrpg protagonist
22:01
Classic mistake
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:06 PM
well that was mostly just an obnoxious damage sponge
22:06
but it goes down
22:07
anyways the true ending is Haseo celebrating his victory over this terrifying True God Cerenos, the one who was behind everything from the begining
22:07
Thanks for sticking with me and I'll see you all in Vol 4!
22:07
actually no
22:08
the boss starts to flicker in and out
22:08
22:08
22:08
okay okay I get it jeez
22:08
22:08
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:08 PM
but are you
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:08 PM
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:08 PM
going to die
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:08 PM
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:08 PM
but are you
22:09
dead
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:09 PM
22:09
Haseo: jeez.
22:09
the voice of Hydalean congratulates us
22:09
Cernunnos has surpassed the terror of death, I guess. lol.
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:09 PM
I uh
22:09
read that differently
22:09
as in
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:09 PM
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
using -judge as a vocal tic
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
neat.
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
Lot of punctuation here
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
well, that was a big waste of time
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
I shall give you this for your service-judge
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
22:10
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
lol Cyouni
22:10
lol Haseo
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
the screen starts to distort and shake
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
look I've seen the gruntys
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:10 PM
as soon as haseo congratulats himself on a job well done
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
I know they're willing to put in incredibly stupid vocal tics
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
22:11
22:11
22:11
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
Also typical jrpg protagonist behavior
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
22:11
22:11
22:11
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
There’s a sword in a stone, Sherlock
22:11
C’mon
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:11 PM
jam it in
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:12 PM
this is the area where Haseo met an AI remnant of Harold that leveled Haseo up
22:12
in Roots
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:12 PM
Oh sure okay
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:12 PM
oh that's another ugnsword
22:12
isn't it
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:12 PM
we've discussed it before in depth but He asked Haseo about his daughter, and where she was
22:12
Haseo told Harald to fuck off (the correct response, but not for the right reasons) and that's where Harald whammied him
22:13
22:13
22:13
22:13
22:13
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:13 PM
Uh
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:13 PM
22:13
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:13 PM
AI remnants in forests giving out gunswords is no basis for a system of government(edited)
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:13 PM
pffft
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:14 PM
lol
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:14 PM
22:14
22:14
22:14
22:14
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:14 PM
remember to manipulate the seed of the AI remnant
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:14 PM

Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:15 PM
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:15 PM
answer the question on your devices
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:16 PM
literally a pop quiz on his character growth, yes
22:16
one he extremely failed last time
archaeo09-Jun-22 10:16 PM
This is what Roko’s Basalisk will be like irl
Shaiapouf09-Jun-22 10:16 PM
lol. lmao.
22:16
22:16
22:16
Mysterious Stranger "Cyouni"09-Jun-22 10:16 PM
random side note that I wonder where we should discuss triangles
