I liked how they gave some characters little titles like that in their dialogue. He's not just Lanselot, he's The Holy Knight Lanselot. The random wizard you meet down the road isn't just Orba, he's The Magus Orba.

There's this, and how everyone gets an entry in the Warren Report. For all the mechanical problems, this game builds a fantastic world. There's a reason it's one of my favourites.

I think Gildas is supposed to be Gilbert, though I'm still stuck on Mirdyn.

I'd suggest Milton for that one. Otherwise I'm stuck. I love these guys though. I'm just bummed that they lost their unique equipment from the original verson. :(

Edit: I thought we were talking translation conventions. Now I look foolish.

Whew, I'm gone for a couple weeks and I miss all the fun! I'm glad you got through the Nybbas/Nybeth battle, it can be a huge wall for a lot of people, (myself included in my latest playthrough), so it's nice to him get his rear end kicked. True story.

I like Rune Fencers in this version, since as was outlined earlier, they get access to some nice buff spells, so they're actually nice support for the 10 archers that make up the rest of the army. :v: Also, I love the hell out of knights. And Voltare starting with hammers is kind of nice, since crushing damage is always handy for some later classes to more easily deal with rear end in a top hat golems.

Nthing the notion of that being a really nice summary H10W. Even playing the game, the story can get a little hard to follow if you take even a short break, so keeping those up would be a terrific boon to all involved. Good show, jolly good, e.t.c

This is really the part of the game where you realize it's done loving around. You know how terrible the situation is for the Walstanians Walister, and it is testing how far you'll go to elevate your own people. I know I agonized over this choice for a solid 10 to 20 minutes on the PSX, and did so again in the PSP version when I got here. Both paths have ups and downs, but... we shouldn't compromise our values, there's got to be a better way. Stop this lunacy!

Warren Report
Matticus Farrell, born in Golyat, was a competent soldier who lived for his family. Often donating to the local orphanage, he was affectionately known as "Big Brother Matty" amongst the children. His jovial "Ho Ho" as he'd play with the children warmed the hearts of any who witnessed. Fighting for neither fame nor glory, he nevertheless sealed his fate when he captured a member of a known terrorist cell just as Denam's organization arrived. He was overwhelmed and killed at Krysaro.

Hooray, I contributed! :v I always liked Byan Bayin, I think because in the PSX version he was my summon god of death. I do like how they gave semi unique characters pallette swapped sprites that won't change in this version. A later character especially can continue to look ridiculously badass, even if you make him a cleric. And it is amusing. Yes.

Warren Report

The Mage Dagon

Dagon Mertens, a teacher at the local school of wizardry in Golyat was the father of Lucylle Mertens, admired for her courageous fight against a deadly hex. Golyat's healers being powerless, he heard tales of a man who made his residence in Qadriga who could lift any curse, for the sum of 30000 goth. Blinded by desperation, Dagon failed to recognize the boy who helped him with his garden, instead seeing Denam as the way to save his daughter. He was felled in Golyat by the Order of Goons, his daughter's fate sealed.

VVV: Happy to help :3: :smith: Even if I make myself sad. Also I apparently made a typo and that makes me bad person. I've since fixed it.

I had a playthrough where it was Lawful Warlock Denam + 9 undead and it was absolutely amazing.

Then I got to the battle where you fight the lady with Starion and she vaporized 9/10 of my team because I wanted to see what the spell did.

Not to sound like an rear end in a top hat or anything, but I wish I was there to see the look on your face. :allears:

Ah Terror Knights. I remember in the original version, I had Denam gain about 15 levels as a ninja getting the kills requirement for it. The end result was a horrifyingly hard to hit tank that never missed with his Gramrock :black101:

I just like the idea of Ronway having 'do a false flag attack killing a ton of civilians' as the solution to every crisis.

You know I can't do that. Never stray from your convictions, lest people think you wishy washy. Also it just feels so... Dirty? to go back to the dudes you basically told to go gently caress themselves earlier.


Though I do like the other route too, I don't think it's a good one for first time viewers to start with. But that's just me. Also gently caress Debordes forever. That dexterity... :smith:

I always saw Leonar as being like a version of what Denam could become. I think the remake's new portrait even looks a little like an older, hardened Denam. But that's just me. Also agreeing with what everyone else said about him being an effective villain.

Gildora Andyrs


A girl orphaned by Walister rebels, Gildora had a hard life. She was eventually saved when Balbatos and a retinue of his guard felt pity and took her in, saving her from a likely death of starvation and disease. She returned the favour by mastering the magical arts, helping put down uprisings and ending bandit incursions. She fought to the death to defend her cherished home from Denam and his Order of Goons, but was overwhelmed and slain, cursing the Walister with her last breath. It is said her cat familiar's mournful wails still haunt the castle halls at night.

Im quickly warming up to the Ogre series. Matsuno should have been more appreciated by Square.

I remember doing that in the original PS1 release (which was a port I know but shut up) and my cousin was warning me that it was kind of a pain in the rear end fight, and I was just like "There's a fight? I just walked up alone and naked and they were like sweet come in". Really burned his rear end.
