Episode 4 Story Discussion

[TheMagickHat77]

I usually do read text, or at least as much as I can since my Japanese is weak, and I usually try to do everything. I don't usually mind taking a long time, though, and I'm actually having fun with EP. 4 so far, despite the clear and present gripe material in the storytelling.

Lets see. 1 kidnapping, 2 rescue, 3 rehabilitate, so yeah you are behind by only 3 story missions going by the 'Matoi gives advice'. 4 if you want to count the Huey mission but its not required.

Just watch Kazen's translations to see what is coming up while you wait for maint to end or want to just kill some time.

Thanks, I'll do that. From what I've read, everyone here regards his work highly.

Well, by default of being the only one providing quick and convenient translations for EP4. I'm still grateful for it, though.

More like 'professional' translation tho, because if you want a quick translation, DIY is way faster.
Even with Google Translate, should be clear enough to get the gist of the dialogue.

Anyway, ugh, why the first node have the video form?

[mickbis]

The music during first Ardem node in today story update really really giveaway his intention ...

That too.

Double points for being Youtube vids which makes it possible to move through or repeat particular points of the cutscene at your own leisure instead of having to watch the entire scene again through the actual game. Only downside about Kazanboshi translations is that they don't do alternate dialogue scenes (even though most cutscenes don't really have NPCs changing their response) but its not much of a problem since you can just post a comment in a Kazan translated cutscene vid asking what the alternate response is and Kazanboshi is most likely to give an answer.

Alright, 136-C and 137-C for starters.
Usual reminder from mine. Raw, amateur, quick translation. Read it with grain of salt, or wait for certain YT site.

136-C

Spoiler!

- Aratron is looking for Mother when EscaDarker pop up inside the notMothership. Aratron suspect it's because that place can be said as the source of Ether.
- Aratron prepare to bash some more Escadarker when the creature destroyed and absorbed back by Mother.
- Aratron reporting the circumstances between Kohri and Ophiel.
- After that, Mother asked Aratron to not stay with her. Aratron reminisced about his first meeting with Mother, 20 years ago.
- Aratron said what Mother did and would do, whether it was a good or bad thing, time would tell.
- Meanwhile........Ardem is back at the office, saying that he cannot make a mistake now that things have moved to the final phase. He need to make a move for evolution and development of humanity

137-C

Spoiler!

- Sierra talked about the massive swarm of EscaDarker's progression to Earth.
- Kohri confirmed that Mother is currently on Moon.
- Kohri also said that the place Hitsugi was pretty much disposable facility. Mother's location is somewhere else.
- Enga noted the difference in Earth Guide's intel, and Kohri quickly apologized. Enga just scoffed and said that there are others she need to apologize.
- Kohri apologized to ARKS, Xiela said it's fine. Kohri insisted that she need to be punished. Xiela quickly left the decision to you while Kohri was rambling about her punishment.
- Kohri want to be punished, but do not want the punishment to be hurt all the time. Kohri's idea of punishment also include being a maid and paying with her body (while also plead Hitsugi to not looking at her). Xiela just said that Kohri reminded her of Hitsugi when she first came. Hitsugi said to not make her remember of that.
- 2 options here, I pick the lower one. (Support Hitsugi)
- Kohri's confused, Enga just said that he need a break and someone to look after Hitsugi. Hitsugi asked Kohri to follow her properly, and Kohri said yes. Multiple times.
- Xiela said that now the destination and the purpose is set, she asked everyone to gather their energy until the operation.

Just finished the long story quest
beware this quest final boss .
overall I think its stage is a bit shorter than EP2 but the difficulty is there indeed

The twisted at the end .with Ardem and Ophiel is expected from the leaked but really got me

[Shinamori]

I'm really upset at that twist.

[Chalun-k_x_light]

Well,i already expected that so not really surprise that much.
Ophiel being the spy from Earth-Guide and Adem being the one Player-Chan should deal with in the end.
Somehow,i kinda hope that Mother should get back to arks and learn about life more now that she finally let go of her hatred.(But sega sure thinks otherwise.)
Also didn't expect Phaleg to showup though.

[mickbis]

Phaleg might already know what going on behind scene so she going around wrecking Earth Guide in Las Vegas along with Phantom.. I would like to know what she said after the duel between her and Ardem
