I can only assume what is next is the pre-final gimmick boss which is more annoying than the final boss if it's your first time playing, I feel that spacepope is that kinda villain.

Forget spacepope, I'm just waiting for the coolest Ziggy moment this series will ever see. :allears:

Wait, they give him awesome moments in the next game, too? I was thinking of the one we see after the fight with spacepope, involving missiles. (Haven't played the third game yet, thanks to never managing to get a copy.)

I bought the entire series all at once, just to avoid this problem. (Got the movie version of episode 1 along with it so that there would be an even number of DVD cases under the Christmas tree)

I've never seen the end game before. The fact you can call something the "coolest" anything after giant angel erupting from a planet blowing everything up fills me with great anticipation.

To be fair, I am also a BIG Ziggurat-8 fan. But it's still a pretty damned cool moment to watch.

I just want to say, rather than derailing the current Shadow Hearts/ Tales convo in the FFX thread, that I support Shion Uzuki and I think most of the hate for her is unjustified.

Now to wait until the next game to actually be able to talk about all this...

Shion is not totally terrible - but she's way more self-absorbed and self-centered than her age and position (in Vector) should allow for. She acts about 6-8 years younger than she actually is (24, I believe?)

It's been a mix of my workflow getting completely wrecked by a megui update, work being so crazy because of holidays and sports, and just general laziness. I have the next update commentated on and everything, I just have to get off my butt and put it together.

And the mastermind and reasoning behind all this is not explained until next game.

I hope that catches you all up on the story.

Also I can wait for the next update. What I can't wait for is Episode 3, though. I am seriously looking forward to whenever t hat happens.

Well, nobody's in a hurry to steal a march on you. So there's that, at least?

And if you'll permit me to David Cage it up in here, of course the fight against the space church goes much easier when you refuse to engage with its gimmick. It's an institution, and like any institution, trying to play "within its rules" only legitimizes its power to create and enforce them.

Caught up to the updates I see. :dawkins101: Good work sticking it out with this series of misery Scurvy.

We've seen SPACE CHURCH though so the series might have peaked already. Is there a video that shows off the other forms and attacks somewhere? The fuckin' Space Church, man. I need more of it.

Apologies for the interlacing in the final video, I'm still learning Premiere and I figured out how to fix that. So this should be the only video like this.

It's just one of the many reasons Episode II is bad. They literally had no idea why anyone even liked Episode 1 so their attempts at "broader appeal" just pissed off everyone.

Anyway, Jesus Christ, listen to the music that plays during the heartfelt exchange between Jr. and Ziggy. This is why the game's OST is such a joke, even when it's not all terrible. This really "deep" heart-to-heart and it has some lovely zany synth track setting the mood.



Scurvy, do you still intend to do postgame stuff or will you be merciful to yourself and just skip to the actually good game? In any event, it's great to have updates.

Hey now. You aren't allowed to talk if you've never seen the data you get from plunging deep into the red space drink drank.

There had better be data in the drink drank
