You might as well throw an update whenever you can. People aren't suddenly going to stop because they can't catch up or something.

Ugh, I somehow forgot how long it takes for the game to actually let you play and I beat this game like 3 times somehow. It really makes FF-13 an adrenaline rush in comparison.

So out of 5 or 6 warships with a dozen AWGS units and hundreds of realions, they didn't bother having at least a few robots that can...let them hit the ghost things? I mean, it's a Vector squad. You'd think they could lend a few directly.

bathroomrage posted:Well, what I caught from it is that KOS-MOS's Hilbert Radio Thingy is what makes them vulnerable to conventional weapons, but I guess significant amounts of mass can slow them down? There's a lot of plot-dumb reasons why the gameplay completely fucks over Gnosis lore but some of your other questions are explained: -Kos-Mos's Hilbert Effect is very, very special because of its humongous range. The 1000 series can maybe pinpoint a specific area, not the entire battlefield at once. -None of the army knew about Kos-Mos, as evidenced by one of the higher ranking officers, Virgil, confused about her even existing. Only the select tech crew and captain/vice-captains directly related to the project knew about her. -There's a very good reason why no one is rushing to activate and are scared of Kos-Mos reactivating, especially on her own. I just wish the gameplay remotely matched up with the actual story.

Helmet 10 Warehouse posted:Did the game ever tell us anything about the incident that is making all the Vector employees piss their pants at KOS-MOS starting up, or did everyone just sign up for the same Spines 4 Gold program as Allen? The game later tells what happened that rightfully got Shion scared when Kos-Mos was booting up (Almost everyone else on the team just heard stories).

YourAverageJoe posted:I think a bigger question than "why isn't Shion running?" is "why didn't KOS-MOS go full Hilbert as soon as she got out of the stasis pod?" Her priority is rescuing Shion. Once she located her, she immediately went Hilbert. She does not give a gently caress about anything else until her mission is completed.

I think the idea would be less of an rear end in a top hat move if they didn't spend like 20 minutes shooting at things literally invulnerable to everything, and one that phased through a wall to kill one of his soldiers.

I read as much of the codex (or whatever they call it) as I could. I think it's just that the artificial nervous tissue is a potent narcotic. So he could also eat their spinal columns, but he'd need a hammer for that.

Keeshhound posted:I meant afterwards, assuming he's been feeding his habit. Unless one shitstorm's worth of time is enough to get him those scars (apparently a marker for addiction), which I suppose is possible given how little JRPG writers tend to know about chemistry. Miltia was a really, really big shitstorm.

Keeshhound posted:My point was that it would need to be a long shitstorm, where he'd need to indulge regularly to develop significant scarring (unless I'm just flat-out misattributing those, but I could have sworn they were supposed to be a sign of long-term addiction) on his face, unless this is going full scale Fantasy Drug, and even eating ONE Realian brain is enough to gently caress up your face. Miltia is a long and terrible mess. Putting all of our world's greatest tragedies and atrocities combined wouldn't come close compare to what happened on Miltia, let's say that.

If you put what you did in game 1 on an outline, you don't really do much poo poo. But constant backtracking and the cutscenes pad that poo poo out to about 50 hours. Think about that. We're not even a tenth of the way through the game and it actually gets more cutscene-heavy later in the game.

I'm sure Kos-Mos is the strongest party member since she was designed to fight Gnosis and that's mostly what the party's been fighting so far.

I think a lot of people praise Xenogear for being incredibly ambitious for a 1998 game when the only other game touching on going the same deep rabbit hole of insane was MGS. No one says Xenosaga had a good story, everyone hates 2, Kos-Mos is cool except in crossovers.

There are side-quests in RPGs that are longer and more involved than XSII's plot. A single mission in Dragon Age Inquisition probably has a longer plot than this game.
