I hate Kislev.

Fun Fact: I named Weltall 'EVA-01'.

Brentai how far would you estimate you are in the game vs what is left to do.

McDohl · « **Reply #43 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:58:02 PM »

Okay, there are...1, 2, 3, 4, 5 playable characters still to get in to the party, there's a whole lot of dinking around in the south-western part of the world map, climbing the Tower of Babel, opening the Gates, and getting to Solaris.

And that's just the rest of Disc 1.

If you assume that Xenogears is 40 hours, my savefile is somewhere about 13 hours in.

Sooooo I'm a thirdways through?

McDohl · « **Reply #45 on:** September 08, 2009, 04:26:11 PM »

Yeah, Brentai, I might finish before you calendar-wise, but you'll probably have me beat on clock-time. I just finished all the events in Nortune (THANK GOD), and I'm getting ready to go to the Goliath Factory north of Nortune, and my clock is sitting at 24:27.

Also: PROTIP: After you get Elly back in your party, you might want to hang around the Nortune area with Elly, blasting HobGobs with her ThermoDragon Ether spell. This cooks the meat, turning it from 50-HP Hob-Jerky in to 500-HP Hob-Steak. You can take the Hob-Steak in to the B. Info center and hock it for 450G a pop. Considering that these guys spawn in groups of four, you can make bank quick.

I have such a backlog.

I don't recognize the track that you dub over the game in the sewers. WOSS IS THAT?

...WAIT, THAT'S THE LUNAR 1 SEWERS, ISN'T IT?!

...Damn it, now you got me wanting to play Lunar again. Waaaaaaa

Brentai · « **Reply #48 on:** September 16, 2009, 10:15:07 AM »

Technically it's from Lunatic Festa. Good luck finding that thing any other way.

McDohl · « **Reply #49 on:** September 16, 2009, 12:34:25 PM »

WELL, AS IT JUST SO HAPPENS, I HAVE COPIES OF BOTH LUNAR AND LUNAR 2.

Brentai, you Toiletvator.

YOU RAN RIGHT PAST THE TREASURE CHEST THAT YOU NOTED BACK WHEN YOU SWITCHED TO THE PS2.

Brentai · « **Reply #54 on:** September 24, 2009, 10:49:57 AM »

Yeah, and I didn't even use the Magnet Beam, fuck me.

Might be it for a while, since I'm caught up on my backlog now and working on getting a job. You'll just have to sit tight for MEN OF THE SEA.

McDohl · « **Reply #57 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:14:48 PM »

I'm not much further ahead of Brentai. I just hit the Thames, saved on the top deck of it, and then packed up Xenogears for the move.

François · « **Reply #58 on:** October 03, 2009, 09:37:33 AM »

Holy crap I've finally caught up. Daaaaang.

It seems like this game has several good ideas, but none of them are implemented in a way that is enjoyable. And the plot possibly could be somewhat interesting if it had less SHADOWY PUPPETMASTERS PLOTTING AT EACH OTHER THROUGH MISAPPLIED REFERENCES TO CHRISTIANITY THAT ONLY MAKE SENSE ON YOUR SECOND PLAYTHROUGH IF EVER.

Okay so.

Gebler, the military of Solaris, is "allied" to Aveh through Shakhaaaaaaan the usurper, and they're fighting Kislev. Who's running Solaris? Is it the old dudes in the TV ball? Is it Emperor Skullface? They seem like they're buddies. Also: Skullface is chatting with Citan; that's weird. Additionally, there are mysterious people supplying stuff to Kislev. They can't be Solaris (or can they???). I hear Fei's father (or is it his dad?) is from Shevat; are Kislev's allies Shevat? And WTF is Shevat to begin with? Is Grahf also from Shevat? Why is he visiting Ramsus then, if Shevat is supporting Kislev and Solaris is supporting Aveh and it sounds like they should be enemies? Maybe Grahf is acting alone, but then again that Miang chick lets him peep on her so uhh.

Also that one guy is a dolphin. What's with that.

Brentai · « **Reply #59 on:** October 03, 2009, 01:11:34 PM »

There's still 20 hours of plot left, so most of your questions will be ~~answered~~ replaced with even more incomprehensible questions.
