Well this ought to be an interesting ride. VLR is loving fantastic, and if you're reading along, you owe it to yourself to listen to the English voices anytime Zero III appears. Cindy Robinson is having the goddamn time of her life playing a psychotic little rabbit, and it is amazing. :allears:

drat, I don't know much about these games or games like it but at face value it seems like it'd have maybe 5-10 hours content tops mostly because the format would begin to feel a little tedious or repetitive for me. That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying the LP so far and that Easy Mode dialog is great.

Yeah, no. My 100% save has something like 25-30 hours on it. This is not a short game by any stretch of the imagination, and you can fit a whole lot more words in a minute than you can actual gameplay.

I definitely don't remember that being in 999, but it has been a while for me. I'd love to see where it is if you can find it though.

PHIIIIDOOOO

On repeat playthroughs, you can never skip it :suicide:

Why would you ever want to skip that? :confused: That's probably my single favorite line of dialogue in the game. :allears:

Awful Betamax works, but the heavier a given update is on the gifs, the more likely it is to crash, I've found.

I never got the optional solution to this one. I actually ended up just brute forcing the drat thing and worked out other five letter words once I knew what every letter was. :saddowns:

What happens if we decide to screw over the others and choose Quark? If it's possible at all this would be the best option.

Choosing Quark means that both Alice and Phi get put against someone that they've said they don't want to pair with. That strikes me as something the others aren't going to go along with, protagonist powers be damned.

Conversely, if we had been plot-locked on this path initially, do we ever get explicitly told that we've seen what we need to see to get past the plot-lock? Or do we have to periodically reload from this point to see if we have what we need to progress?

You're not told what you need to pass it, but any plot locks you can break turn green on the flowchart.

It's kind of ridiculous how much more intense the thread's hatred is of Alice than it ever was when Dio was the rear end in a top hat of the moment.

Having beaten the game, I don't really like either of them, but Dio is always incredibly upfront about who he is. He's an rear end in a top hat who is going to be an rear end in a top hat and he's going to do it to your face because gently caress you, he's an rear end in a top hat. Alice is mostly the same way, but she's a lot more passive-aggressive about it and it's a lot more irritating to watch her antics because if you ally you're an idiot, if you betray you're an rear end in a top hat even when you would die by not betraying because gently caress you Alice always "wins". I certainly wouldn't go as far as some posters have, but she's definitely my least favorite character in the game.

Dio's voiced by ~Liam O'Brian~ though :allears:

I can't bring myself to hate him.

Although let's be honest, this is the real reason. :allears:

I'm still checking this thread every day, but things are looking grim given how Fedule has shown no signs of life in the past two weeks.

You have an odd definition of "grim", given that he's been posting a fair amount in the FF general thread and recording stuff with me.

In the ~40 days since the last update, we recorded (among other things) the entirety of Chapters 12 and 13 of FF13. There is a reason that you haven't seen an update and spoilers, it's not because Fedule hasn't been around. :ssh:

it's because he's a lazy gently caress

Which is to say, perhaps six months.

Six months seems a little generous, don't you think? Gonna say closer to eight or nine myself.

I wonder if Fedule waits for new pages to begin so that his huge long posts don't have 2 or more spots on a single page.

I'm sure it's more likely that the next part just isn't done, but I know some LPers do it that way.

Wasn't there an update a few weeks ago? You're still ahead of schedule to be complaining and management doesn't care.

E: It sounds like I'm joking but I'm really not, I asked him about it when we were setting up a time to record LR and his response was "It was slow before, and it's slow now. Nothing has changed."

3DS version is prone to crashing if you save in a couple rooms (which can destroy your save entirely if you're not careful) and only has one save slot compared to the Vita's three, but plays a bit better due to the dual-screen interface and being able to see the puzzle and your notes at the same time.

Only two months? Please. Leave this to the pros, Fedule had to pull this thread out of archives. :v:
