So, besides that 1 cool cinema scene...(*minor spoiler*)

[The Necris Process]

...has anyone noticed Kraz transforming into the black nanoblast form during regular gameplay? I've only noticed him using the gold form (surprisingly often). Then again, I've only gotten the black form 3 or 4 times on my main character, and I've logged around 86 hours or so on that.

I've also noticed Tonnio only uses Vande Val(invincible/blue) form, and that moron tends to activate it at the most pointless times, like after we're already down to 1 or 2 creatures left in a room. I think he usually had the "Power" form back on PSU.

*I've also never seen Liina transform....I suppose story-wise it's because she's "knocked up" (*foolish, Tonnio....now she gotcha for at least 18 years man!)? I had nothing more meaningful to talk about, but this game has me seriously hooked. I can't even get back to any of my console games because the Phantasy Star addiction is just that strong.

I don't bring him in Open Missions enough to test. At all, for that matter, lol. Always Maya, Lumia, and Aigis (PM).

Knowing how suicidal melee NPCs are, maybe it's for the better o.-

None of the NPCs go into nanoblast frenzy. The NPCs usually use their blasts right when the gauge is filled if there are still enemies around. If not, they wait until an enemy gets in range. You can have some form of control on when they release their blasts with the "blast charge/blast release" quick orders. And that hypothesis on Liina seems to be the consensus around here...
