I had so much trouble with that dragon. He kept spamming that scatter shot thing when I fought him.

I have been waiting this entire LP to link this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WnfoJ51Qhk It seems relevant now that Four's pulled a dragon out of a hole in the story. This is why you don't mess with timelines! Wales Grey fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Jul 16, 2015 |

Zero, you just remarked that four lost her mind and that she would lose her mind if she was to summon a daemon dragon. The two could be related.

So were all the sisters supposed to have flowers on them like Zero and Two at some point or is Zero's eye-socket accessory just part of something bigger?

I don't know why, but it never looks/sounds right when 'daemon' is pronounced the same as 'demon'. My first thought is always that it should be pronounced 'day-mon', even though I know that isn't right.

BattleCattle posted:When she said "This entire world will sing for me", did you notice the awkward change in tone? Somehow I don't think that was Four talking. And her voiceovers during the boss fight have a weird reverb effect going on. My current theory: all of the Intoners (including Zero) are basically flower "seeds", so each has a flower in themselves. The flowers won't let them die until after the flowers have fully matured, at which point Bad poo poo happens for the entire world. Fortunately they're weak to dragon-based attacks, so flower bearers can still be killed without their flowers breaking out. Zero's figured out what's going on, but for whatever reason refuses to tell the others (or else they know but don't care); hence her murder roadtrip. Meanwhile as the flower matures it gains more influence over its bearer (though here Zero seems to be special), changing their behavior and personality.

DeafNote posted:I dont think the flower was doing wonders for her in Branch C Had to go back and look up the ending. Okay, that's the one where Mikhail gets bisected while offing Gabrielle, Zero kills One herself (using her dragonfang sword), then Zero staggers off, puking, to go find another dragon to kill her. Dunno why she can't just impale herself on her sword, but whatever. She says "There's... s-still time..." as she's doing this, but one way to read this is that she's in denial: the flower's about to mature, so she really is just about out of time, the only dragons she knows of (Mikhail and Gabrielle) are both dead, and she's in the middle of the Cathedral City and apparently only able to manage a drunken stagger, so she's not going anywhere fast. Nothing says the flower has to keep its carrier hale and hearty for the entire maturation process, after all.

She can't impale herself because the flower won't let her self-terminate; it comes up at some point.

I know about your flower. I know it's behind all of this. And I imagine it's not going to let you die until it succeeds in destroying the world.

Episode LXXIV: In Which Simon Says... RIP YOUR GUTS OUT!.jpg) Music: Prevolt – Zophiel .jpg) Welp. Four's Go-Bots Dragon has bit the dust. But it looks like Four still wants to throw down with Zero. If you insist, sis. Zero is always up for some good old fashion sororicide with any challengers in the family. Let's do this thing! .jpg)  Leave this to me!Err... not sure why Zero chose to be all sporting about this family squabble and dismount her dragon as well for the fight. But here we are... .jpg)  Your clothes, your hair, your makeup... Eveeerything! Hee hee hee! Not at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure that never actually happened. <off-kilter echo reverb> So now I'm going to imitate you again! If you're going to be an Intoner killer... then I'm going to be an Intoner killer too! Then the world will finally be quiet. Shhh... Not a peep from you, world. Eee hee hee! .jpg) .jpg) So like the battles against One and Two on-foot, Four fights entirely like her DLC version. Which is to say a lot of quick kung fu kicks and strikes that are a lot harder to avoid up close than One's stupid rear end chakram business or Two's Buster Sword strikes. But far easier to just avoid by having range. Even if I don't use it myself just because I have more fun with swords, the spear class is choice against Four's limited range. .jpg) .jpg) Though Four is really good at .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) Thanks to this technically being the same boss fight as Zophiel, Zero ought to be drenched in blood from the first round and ripe for popping off Intoner Mode early into the fight. As with all the on-foot Intoner battles, Four will instantly retaliate. But Zero is basically invincible while going full song magic and the boss Intoner business is basically for show only. Or giving people a seizure. I cannot be certain how Taro Yoko rolls on that front. .jpg) Are you hiding yet, Zero? Arrrrreee yoooooooouuuu?! Because ready or not... here I cooooooooooome! Zeroooooo! Zerooooooo? ZeeeeeeroooooOOOOOOOOOOOO! Where aaaaaaaare yoooooooou, my siiiiiiiiiiiiiiSTER!? ZeeerOOOOOOOOOOO! Eee hee heee hee ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaAAAAaaaa ahahuuuuh!.jpg) .jpg) Seriously, we're unclear about how Four and “The Flower” are related. But it is quite evident the chapter titular The Flower is an input reading jerk. .jpg) Simon saaays... rip your guts out! COME ON, DO IT! Now, try and take me on! ...Ha! I didn't say Simon says! Get her! Tear her apart! TEEEEEEEAR HER APAAART!.jpg)  She's bonkers! She'll make you bonkers too! Totally bonkers! Stop saying bonkers already!.jpg) Hey! Lay off, Zero. Bonkers is a very fun word to say. It was like the third or fourth word my son learned. The first three were “Oh”, “No”, and “Poop”. Which all relate to this battle ending, if you ask me. Music: Silence .jpg) <heavy panting>.jpg) <choke> No... Please, no! .jpg) .jpg) B-But... how could... this happen... to... me... Ughh... Uhh....jpg) So, Four. You've clearly not been paying attention to the previous two timelines when you got ganked off-screen, eh? Welp! .jpg) Don't worry. Your sisters will be joining you soon enough..jpg) <To Mikhail> Hey. She's all yours..jpg) Welp...  Everything is a bit more hosed in this timeline and we're actively endorsing the dragon devouring sisters policy from the get-go... .jpg) RIP Four. For good. Remember, this... Is. The. End. This is the final end path. You die here? You turn into a bird? Option insane three!? This is it for you from here on out!! Remember that! Four?! DEAD FOR GOOD! Got it?! .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) .jpg) As for Mikhail, he has had his Intoner meal and is leve—wait what now?! .jpg)  The evolution of a dragon....jpg)  <heavy pant>.jpg) <shriek>.jpg) .jpg)  Good gracious! He's evolved twice in one go!.jpg) Everything is ready now. …Michael..jpg) And that concludes Verse 2 of this final act! But before we go... .jpg) Mikhail did indeed evolve to his Final Form. No Chaos or Angel alternate form like Drakengard 1 and 2. The three you see plus OG Michael is all you get. .jpg) And Zero's sword finally made it to its maximum level. Which, unless you've really been grinding out some weapons, probably makes it one of the strongest swords available at this point. Also we get the complete weapon history: Zero's Blade posted:Effective against Intoners. It levels up as your dragon grows. And that is Zero's default weapon's history. A bit of extremely angsty teenage journal entries. Don't worry, we've still got a Zero Short Story to hit up in the future that expands on these beats. Spoilers: Zero had an absolutely garbage early life and turned into an absolutely terrible person before even getting into the whole Intoner business.

Well, that was violent. The whole 'BE QUIET WORLD!' thing reminds me a bit of One's problems with her hearing, but considering there's insane magic songs going on all over the place in general, it might be a more general thing.

I really liked that fight, solely because of Four going batshit insane. The fight's so easy at that point you have to actively not attack her if you want to hear everything. On a side note: Oh god I really hope Yoko puts in some Rival bosses in Nier 2 for platinum to work with.

She did, I checked the video to double check that I was correct in seeing the typo. Micheal looks a bit like you mixed up Mikhail + Michael if you say it in your head so it's sorta confusing.
