alchargia, as the first poster, would you mind doing the honors of dressing up Ludger and Jude for when I record next? I have every fashion item in the game, so there is no need to hold back.

Well, it's the first go, so let's go understated. Give Ludger a vivid green mustache/pipe combo and Emo Glasses, wearing his pajamas because Ludger misunderstood "business casual," and our other friend aviators and the largest Li'l Milla you can possibly make, wearing the color variation on his Xillia 2 outfit because he looks better in green.

That's the postgame superboss, Junpei. There's a difference between a boss being hard by being hard and a boss being hard because you are unprepared. Have you played this game, by the way?

It's too bad on higher difficulties Ludger is pretty much mandatory in boss fights, because drat is nice suit guy fun to play as.

I just had Ludger in the party and switched to him when, uh, relevant, because I don't actually like playing as him that much.

*cracks knuckles*

Deliver unto Ludger a Milla's Bangs Replica and Noise-Cancelling Headphones to give him the shut-in unwashed NEET look, but his Business Outfit because he has a degree of professionalism despite that.

Alvin deserves Aviators- bright pink to represent his status as the party Zelos- and a sweet Ten Gallon Hat (regular hairstyle.) Also, get him a loving shave, christ Alvin.

Elize skinned her knee, but they didn't have any bandages at the infirmary so they just gave her a Mint uniform and a Tengu Mask to cover her knee with. Also she's wearing Black Bunny Ears and her Hat hairstyle.

Jude was going to put on his jacket, but then he put on Spaz Glasses and a Pipe and hehehehahaha, Leia, Leia, you gotta try this!

Leia, ever the erstwhile reporter, was too busy being in disguise as a wandering Shamisen player in her Xillia 1 outfit to comment. Important reporter work. Mr. Frog was there too!

Finally, Rowen, in his Xillia 1 outfit, has had his head consumed by and replaced with noble dragon friend Ba'ul, whose tail points out of where Rowen's head once was towards the sky, ever yearning to return to his home.

Was one reason because you embarrassed the clan with your ridiculous costumes? I can imagine why he wouldn't be thrilled with you going outside dressed like an anime clown (I wish I could say I came up with that, but I believe the Xillia 2 thread in Games had someone use that and I thought it was an amusing way to describe the average player's fashion choices).

No, Ludger was dressed wholly sensibly. I didn't start going crazy until I got Ba'ul back. :colbert:

Sylphid posted:

alchargia, we're gonna need a full line-up from you for the next update. I'm talking all nine characters. Think you can hack it?

Ludger is so enamoured by his new best best best friend Gaius that he's wearing Gaius's Hairband and has Gaius's Crest and is in that one outfit whose name is a spoiler because it looks the most like Gaius.

Jude is trying to pretend he doesn't know the rabid, raving Gaius fanboy it turns out he's friends with, so he's put a censor bar over his head and is wearing earmuffs. If you must speak to Jude, you must speak to Li'l Jude, who is riding shotgun. Also he's in his scrubs for some reason.

Milla is taking this whole everyone-you-know-and-love-is-dead thing pretty well, because it turns out she is actually secretly the Monkey King, Sun Wukong. She put on her headband, Sly Glasses, and Spirit Outfit for the occasion.

Elize has been watching a bunch of Clint Eastwood movies and has been practicing Teepo's guttural growl. Ten Gallon Hat. Rideaux's Shades. A Topknot. Yeah, it goes through her hat.

Rowen recovered from being eaten. He claims one of his eyes got cut in the process, so he's wearing an eyepatch, but his new tragic backstory of being eaten by a dragon means that he can become Rowen-Man, the new superhero on the block! Throw off your jacket, Rowen-Man, and tune those artes! His eyebrows are so striking!

Alvin has achieved Douchebag Level 2, so it's not time for my ultimate weapon yet. That said; Aviators. No jacket. Pipe. Spaz Glasses. That's right. He's wearing aviators and spaz glasses. His future's so bright.

Leia is late for school. She's running with her backpack and her half-frame glasses. She did her hair up in pigtails for added moe value. Her cheeks are rosy. Oh... Leia-chan! So kawaii!! If only there was a toast attachment...

Gaius doesn't have time for this dress-up bullshit, he's a king. You'll never scratch me. Light squall! (Leia stuck her hat on him before he got away, though.)

Muzet is wearing a Chirpee head, a ribbon on back of her Chirpee head, and a glowing antenna. It's not Halloween, Muzet. Get out of the bird head.

I can't believe Alt Milla is loving dead. In honor of Alt Milla we should give OG Milla a Milla's Bangs Replica. Also Rideauxs's Shades because sunglasses work on Klingon rules. And Spaz Glasses in order to break the ice with Elle. Also the Dhaos outfit because it is loving canon.

Elize has developed a Stand from the Bunnykins subplot. The Stand is Bunniekins' Red. It's floating behind her head. It's given her some sinus problems though, so she's got a bit of a drippy nose. Color variation. Aviators (bright pink because she is a pinkist.)

Now that Ludger has entirely ruined a child's life and murdered her father, I think it's time for the ultimate. Ludger should be in Victor's outfit, with the Pet Dragon placed inside his pelvis, tail sticking out the front. Sly Glasses and Pipe complete the set.

Muzet has developed a fascination with monster heads and is now wearing the Mandragora Head. She's also wearing Gaius's Crest, her Xillia 1 outfit, and a Shiba's Tail.

Rowen is in his regular outfit, but he has Glowing Antennae, Sideburns, and also Shadow is riding on his back because wiggly jiggly flan man.

Muzet's Chirpee Head has turned red and expanded to a massive size, engulfing her upper body as well as her head. This is completely normal, of course. It is also, for some reason, attempting to wear aviator sunglasses, but it's not working so Muzet is just holding them in her hand instead. Muzet has switched to her Xillia 1 outfit for the occasion.

Leia is in her color-varied Xillia 1 outfit, equipped with the powerful Therapy Cat. Also, she stole Julius's glasses off of his corpse, and has equipped herself with a Milla's Bangs Replica in a last-ditch attempt to try to win back Jude's heart.

To answer a question you had a while ago: The Snow Cougar EX is defeatable without Ludger. It only uses Snowfall when it's in Overlimit, and when it uses Snowfall, three Snow Wolves spawn and if you kill all three before you die the attack stops. Gaius in particular is very good at it given Retribution. So, either negate it with your own Mystic Artes or kick their rear end.

Edit: My source is myself because I literally just did it. Power Comboed that motherfucker for 1.4 million damage. Eat poo poo Snow Cougar EX.

Edit 2: I am replaying this game right now and for some reason I thought it would be a fantastic idea to fight all the EX Elite Monsters (on Hard ftr) with the Demon Seal equipped on Gaius. I've still got the Ghastly Stump and Siennabronc left to fight. :shepicide:
