The loss of Nintendo Wi Fi connection is a shame, but it doesn't make any difference for this game. Magical Starsign can only use Local wifi.

Well, this was released very early in the system's life.

I believe there are are conversations explaining why Neumann automatically goes to Cassia, but they're hard to find and I'm not entirely sure where they are. Maybe it's talking to the Dwarves at just the right time?

I usually go to Puffoon first too. Puffoon has weak random encounters, but a higher level boss. Gren has tough random encounters, but weaker bosses.

The pirates are evil for the adventure. The Space Police in general are evil, apparently because they like throwing their weight around but dislike responsibility. Master Chard worships Master Kale, and believes that everything is part of a master plan. Not the deepest villains, but they work.

Glazius posted:Would it have been a dark planet if we were a darkness mage? It's hard to tell. Obviously it would have been a dark door so we could go through it... right? They talk about the Light Planet no matter what. Though if you're a darkness mage, that whole battle sequence happens in the next hallway over in front of the matching Dark door.

Sugar's no idiot, she's just too busy being a space heroine to start a romance. That can wait until Miss Madeline is rescued, and not a minute before.

This hits hard, but there's so much else about the Farina and Semolina subplots that goes unstated or under the radar. I think it's worth taking a look back at how exactly this came about... * On the planet Gren, there are two dominant peoples. Felins and Salamanders. Felins seem to pander to tourists, while Salamanders are anti-civilization nature lovers. * The Felins are led by Durum, who is a jerk. His household consists of himself, his daughter Farina, and two servants - Semolina and Apitos. * Farina is admired for her beauty, but no one notices the real her. Except maybe Semolina. Farina seems to have an odd view of the world - though it's hard to tell, as she seldom talks. She has ludicrously powerful magic, but Semolina's guidance helps keep her a harmless eccentric. * Farina's pet frog dies, and Semolina uses the corpse to fertilize a potted plant. Farina fixates on this, and starts imitating this with dead animals she finds in the woods. Odd, but she isn't hurting anyone... * Pirates show up and take over the salamanders' town near Yggsalad. The pirates are after wizards for some reason. There are quite a few felin wizards even if you don't count Farina, so Tropica can put up a decent fight. * Being an inexplicable jerk, Durum hands over all Tropica's wizards except Farina. This leaves them almost defenseless against continued pirate attacks. * The party shows up, fends off the pirate's immortal monster, and Farina outs herself delivering the coup-de-grace. * Durum and his household are banished into the woods to mull things over and repent. Being an inexplicable idiot, he instead decides to turn one of Farina and Semolina's games deadly by having them switch clothes and handing over Semolina to the pirates as a wizard. Surely, this will redeem him in the eyes of his people! * Inexplicably, the Felins do let Durum and "Semolina" back into their house. They sure don't like him though, and Durum stews in resentment. * The real Semolina sees more of the pain the pirates are inflicting on the wizards from her position as a prisoner, but is left behind to be rescued when they realize she's useless to them. Together with Detective Beignet, she gets a decent review of the state of the solar system and the party's goals. * Meanwhile, Farina (still disguised) takes to wandering the woods again. Pirate remnants attack her, but as they're no threat they end up making her their leader - of a sort. They call her "Bobtail." * In a fit of anger, Durum breaks Farina's favorite potted plant, which she'd been burying things in. This drives a wedge between them... * Farina-as-Semolina-as-Bobtail stumbles into Yggsalad and finds the Holy Sapling. With a happy gasp she realizes what she must do. A plant that size needs a lot of fertilizer... * (Also, this probably makes her a dark Messiah fulfilling a Salamander prophesy or something. Who knows.) * Farina has Felins and Pirate Otters used as fertilizer for the Holy Sapling. She doesn't kill anyone, but it's far from comfortable for them as the life is drained from them. * This includes Durum, who's starting to realize that he's been a bad father... * The planet Gren almost burns down (This probably affects Yggsalad and the Holy Sapling somehow), but the party fixes it up better than new! * The party investigates rumors of Bobtail and the Wood Gummy, and ends up killing the Holy Sapling. Or not... * Farina is enraged by the death of her plant and pounces on Sugar, but Semolina slaps some sense in her. Semolina is fed up with this shabby treatment and cruel world, but an apology and hug from Farina indicate that things might be looking up in the future... * But Farina's efforts have led to the creation of an anthropophagous flower linked to Yggsalad. As the Salamanders are nice enough to explain, it can recreate the Wood Millennium Gummy that was consumed by Yggsalad ages ago, but a sacrifice must be made... * Of all the people who live on Gren (and aren't currently stuck in the sun), Semolina has the strongest awareness of the stakes - how much pain the captured wizards are in, how capable the party is if they can get the gummies - and enough depression and frustration to volunteer. No one has the presence of mind to stop her. * Somehow, this is the straw that broke the camel's back for Durum. He's lost someone he knows well, and this time he's face to rune with the consequences. * Durum knows he made a mistake somewhere, but can't figure out where as he thinks back to all the times Semolina wasn't a priority. Sorbet, who is also suffering from depression, tells him to shut up and become a better person already. * Farina's thoughts, as always, are her own.

Tektos is a pretty cool character, considering we only know him for one scene. He's the last survivor of his kind, who was alive before the spiny moles - one of the current dominant species of the planet - evolved sentience. Rather than become a prideful jerk, or mull over old wars, he just comes across as a kind but tired old man. He also knows that someone's going to come looking for the artifact that's grown inside his brain and is looking forward to finally ending. It seems like the biggest reason he's stuck around this long is for his friend Shallot's benefit. The whole heroic death thing is a bit abrupt, but the stakes of "Tower gone = instant robot war" is clear enough.

Bellmaker posted:What a heartwarming planet! The millennium gummy arc has been a turn for the dark, but ending it this way on Puffoon helps show that happy endings are still possible in this universe.

It took me too long to realize that the final plot arc was, at its core, the same as the first arc on Erd. * Giant Bug * Destiny * Waking up a star * Antagonistic robots * But the beginning was a comedy, and the end is a drama. As for the sudden attack of the robots, Rogan Josh's estimate didn't take into account a giant space fleet dropping by and using up their entire stockpile. Personally I think Sugar joining the Dwarves and rebuilding the Khave Ruins was primarily to make sure they could never be used to make gummies out of people again.
