Leia hits herself in the head with her own staff. Hmm, Leia truly handles her staff well,Uh, sure, whatever you say.  : Then I shall make the call.We will continue to eat the provisions until two months past the expiration date! Just the kind of thinking I'd expect from someone who believes that willpower can overcome a bomb strapped to their own leg. *** I get the impression that the Deputy Chief of Staff doesn't care if his own troops also get turned into Lance Chow (With real Soldier flavour!) That series of battles was an interesting idea, but I think it goes on a little too long. I also would have figured that since we'd usually only fought the Chimeriad bosses on their own that a fight against three at once would have been harder. Also, I have been waiting for that skit to show up for ages:

Ha ha, wow, so Alvin is from the other world? I guess that makes some sense since he worked for Exodus. OH! That "other world" thing might be the reason why Alvin has to rely on Exodus for his mother's medicine - it came/comes from the other world and can't be found on this one.

I really liked Milla calling Gaius out on the fatal flaw in his plan (even if he is a perfectly benevolent overlord, taking all the weapons for yourself is not going to stop future generations from being dicks), because I was thinking the same thing even before she said it. Well done there. Sometimes a dictator needs a little reminder of his own mortality. Sometimes I am a very silly person.  Ivar is... wow, amazing.  I seriously had no idea that the alternate world thing was going to happen at all. It seems like Milla has a lot of explaining to do, because she knows what the gently caress is going on and neglected to tell anyone else. Um, Alvin? I know you're new to this whole "teamwork" thing, but... (In the video, after Gilland says to take Milla alive, Alvin aims his gun at her.)

Clarste posted:I just don't see what's funny about him wanting to shoot Milla in this context (other than the inherent humor in betraying everyone constantly). Since being outed as am agent of Exodus, Alvin has supposedly been  "on our side", being a good teammate. Even his behavior in Gaius's throne room gets brushed off as him playing along and leading the Chimeriad onto a wild goose chase. I thought it was hilarious of Alvin to try and blatantly shoot Milla in front of everyone. Obviously, since Gilland is The Bad Guy, and since Alvin is doing the opposite of what Gilland wants, then he must still be "on our side". So he is explaining why is he still "on our side" even as he tries to kill Milla.Congratulations, the joke has now been explained.

Hmmm... so something is strange with Milla, is there? Speculation: When Maxwell created the schism, splitting Rieze Maxia off, it also split Maxwell - there's a part outside the schism and a part inside the schism. Milla is the inside part, and Muzet might be another part of Maxwell.

Maybe we can lose Muzet somewhere. And also Teepo, and Elize, and Alvin... and Jude too. Gee, there's a lot of characters I don't really like in this game.

SweaterGear posted:Gilland's voiced by Liam O'Brien, right? His delivery on "That wasn't me!" was really well done, so much so it actually shocked me. He kinda has a point, too. He really can't be blamed for the energy choices of a civilization which were made 2000 years before he was born. On another note, if the Rieze Maxia people have "mana lobes" and the other guys do not, it seems to me like they are two different species regardless of how alike they look. Plus if they have no mana lobes for peaceful symbiosis with spirits, that probably also contributed to the spyrix stuff.

KieranWalker posted:That gets expounded upon later, Stabbey, though I don't recall if it's in Xillia or Xillia 2. It's not really a plot-important thing, just a little piece of one-off world building conversation, but I'll shove it in a spoiler tag just in case. I wasn't trying to say that Elympions and Maxians are completely unrelated, but I can see how I could have been interpreted like that, so that's my fault. A functional versus non-functional organ still seems like a marker of a different species. That and 2000 years separation might be enough. Geographical isolation is a big factor in the creation of offshoot species. During WW2, the bombings of London, people used to use the subway/tube system for shelter. Mosquitos followed the humans down there, and even after the war ended, a population of mosquitos remained below. Today, mosquitos from the surface and mosquitos from the tube system can almost never reproduce together. It can still happen on rare occasions, but after such a short timespan, they're basically different species. Of course, mosquito generations are much faster than human generations, but still.

Oh sure, I know. I'm saying that I didn't care for Jude's attitude at that point. quote:[*]The Leia vs. Alvin idea might've worked, but then they'd have to work out how the rest of the scene would be changed depending on who won or lost, which is complicated enough with having to do the same for the Jude vs. Alvin duel. Again, game was rushed so time was probably a factor. Maybe. Could have just had little change between outcomes. Mostly, I just think that it would have been cool to have Leia fight a solo battle there because at that point, Jude was still in his "oh woe is me, I'll just go and eat some worms yum yum" funk. quote:
I'm still going to chalk that up to rushing the last part of the story out. quote:[*]I don't see this line in the update, was it in the video? It's been a couple years since I actually played Xillia. That said, mountain-climbing in the rain sounds like a recipe for slippery rocks making you fall and crack your head on something. It was in the dungeon video. I'm just saying that I thought it was funny that they're on this big important mission and Leia's acting like they were planning on a picnic and bad weather is enough to turn around and do it later. quote:[*]Burning Alvin's face for laughs probably would've been kind of a mood-killer. This was clearly Drama Time. No, I mean I don't like Alvin and that wasn't all that satisfying.

So, what, exactly is Jude's "plan" for saving Elympios? Is it just going there and saying "Hey guys, just... just cut it out!" and then they're supposed to say "Oh. Okay." And if Rowan understands what the plan is, could be perhaps fill in the player at some point before the credits roll?' I don't know what's going on. It's supposed to seem awesome, but it's really just confusing.

Milla and company spent about half the game raging against the evils of spyrix and how it must be destroyed. Then she talks to three people on Elympios (two of which are optional) and changes her mind within five minutes. Nice reveal that Jude's father is from Elympios, though. It explains how he knows Alvin. Jude inheriting half his genes from someone with a shrivelled brain part explains Jude, too. Too bad that we aren't actually going to explore this new interesting world with the little time remaining before the budget ran out.

SweaterGear posted:So, Leia gives up on a career to become a housewife? That feels kinda bad, unless it's supposed to show she won't follow after Jude all the time. Yeah, that kinda struck me as odd too. She apparently had absolutely no motivations other than Jude? So she decided to become a waitress and clearly sucks at that too. The game really repeatedly kept trying to emphasize "Leia sucks and is worthless", which seems like an odd message to be sending about one of its protagonists. Thanks for the LP wdarkk. I think I'll work on a couple fake forum posts though because I've got some ideas from the last couple updates.
