Episode 4 Story Discussion

[Kondibon]

He's definitely too weak to become a God of Creation. Until he starts making terrain out of thin air and able to produce creatures by will alone then he is just the aether version of a Dark Falz corrupting people into what he thinks is evolution. Just with fancy words trying to justify his actions.

Well obviously. The guy clearly has an ego on him though.

So, with Kazanboshi translations out:

Spoiler!

- Wait, you're telling me that ARKS response to Ardem's dick move was to send him an angry letter? We have an armada of battle-ready space ships, giant-robots, our best warriors being near-planet busters, one of us being an assassin that can make herself invisible to nearly all of the 5 senses and the best you can come up with was sending an angry letter? Ugh, this is what happens when you let a teenage girl and her boyfriend be put in charge!

That said, I do find it entertaining that all of the ARKS branches, including the one led by Huey and CCIII, were involved in sending the inquiry.

- Phaleg: I know ARKS isn't a group of unrefined individuals as to send back a visitor without an escort?

Bitch, you crashed into this party without anyone inviting you! I don't know even know who invited you here. I sure hope it wasn't me! None of what you told us were actually useful! You basically told us the same thing Ardem said a chapter ago and the other stuff you told us were so vague that it still didn't explain WHAT you and Ardem are or why you were an Apostle of Mother Cluster! We certainly didn't need to be told you want to kill him cause you literally tried to do that right in front of us not too long ago! In fact, nothing about you ever suggested that you WEREN'T a killer so I have no idea why Shitsugi here is so surprised.

- Hitsugi: Move over a bit

The fucking seat your douchebag brother is sitting on could fit 20 times the number of your anime girl butt! Does anyone in the PSO2 story writing team ever proofread this shit?

- Xierra: I think we can probably replicate that sort of technology to transfer into other universes too.

Oh, please no. No more multiverses. Just stick to your own barely developed universe.

- Kohri: That was supposed to be a joke but... ?

I know this entire Story has been one big unfunny joke but read the goddamn mood you shitty character!

See: Japan's reaction to Korea putting out all those comfort woman statues.

Phantasy Star. We lives off multiple universes, if anything. Hi 亜空間.

There's a saying in Japan called 空気が読めない. Something like not being able to read the mood. Actual trope over there.

Seems like it may be a tree. inb4Yggdrasil

[Poyonche]

Seems like it may be a tree. inb4Yggdrasil

Or it could be Jack and the Beanstalk

[Tymek]

Does this mean Ardem's Hunar form will be Jesus

[PokeminMaster]

If he does because a tree though, I wonder if they might find a way to make it visually similar Amplum Umbra

[Dileth]

I was just thinking about this: Ophiel pulls a Brutus and kills Ardem because he's becoming too "god-like."

[Zysets]

Wasn't Olga Flow the forceful merging of the super computer Olga,D-Cells and Flowen himself?

InB4 Ardem needed a super robot just to get the perfect merging.

Considering Mother was PSO2's "Mother Brain" of sorts, why can't Mother fill that role? She may not have been omniscient, but she surely could do calculations like Xion.

I've been ignoring the story for the most part and am only just now skimming over cutscenes for the new bingo card. Is there a summary anywhere that gives a basic outline of what the hell is going on?

Well:

Some Earth morons decided it was a good idea to mess with a highly advanced, militaristic civilization like Oracle (ARKS). Our character is tasked with watching over one such moron (Hitsugi) but somehow, we ended up getting two more morons to watch over (Aru and Kohri).

Eventually, the cliche anime evil organization responsible for these events appear and we fight them all one at a time (sometimes two at a time cause the Story clearly can't afford to waste any more time giving each one a chapter of their own).

After kicking their disappointing asses (with the exception of the cool rival one who unsurprisingly becomes friends with us), their leader (Mother) decides to kidnap Aru and we have to fight her two forms in what is pretty much a less exciting version of Luther's fight in EP2. She too decides to become friends with us after losing but then discount Luther (Ardem) literally stabs her in the back and takes her power and subsequently, the main villain position. He explains his cliche anime god complex motivation before teleporting back to his lair.

Currently, we're supposed to be preparing to fight Ardem.
