So...funny story.

This post loaded very slowly for me and so all I saw at first was this. I thought "I bet his computer crashed." And then the rest of the post loaded.

There is no such thing as a funny story in this forum that does not apply to computer crashes, it appears.

If it makes you feel any better (it probably won't) they clearly haven't learned their lessons as of Project Sylpheed, which had like the worst of Anime Tropes all over its plot. Y'know, like this part, but with less zero-g space bath scenes.

A rule of thumb I learned from Shining Force: If they have a portrait, they're either joining or getting killed later. Otherwise they don't do poo poo.

Among the many things Infinite Space did right is troll you with a portrait character who didn't join your party and didn't get killed later.

at least as far as archive.org is concerned it died at the end of 2005. On the other hand, archive.org has at least some viable download links, which is a small miracle:

(spoilers and poo poo, obviously)

on the other other hand, they're kinda poo poo quality WMVs.

and on the final hand, Crowetron can't you just copy them straight off the disc? I seem to recall being able to yank a lot of FMVs out of PSX discs once mounted. Sometimes they don't have the sound though :(

I did that for a couple Square games at any rate.

I usually dislike anime tournament arcs, but I liked Lunar 2's because Jean rules, the entire arc is short, and the actual tournament is pretty funny if you read the dialogue.

That "short" part is key; tournaments that drag on and on and on just to "build tension" are so bad.

Ones which make you do mandatory button pushing/repetitive dialogue/filler between every fight just to slow things down are double-the-worst.

Would you rate them turning out to be unwinnable, comparable to Satan's rear end in a top hat?

I don't know if I'd go that far but yes, unwinnable tournaments are terrible too. Extra bonus terrible points if they make you fight like five qualifying rounds to get owned by an unwinnable boss. I can't think of any examples of that off hand, but I'm sure some rear end in a top hat somewhere has done it.

Similarly, enemies that only show up in cutscenes to screw you and then the first time you actually get to fight them, they're in an unwinnable fight? Also the worst!
