Episode 4 Story Discussion

[Altiea]

The EP4 Materials Collection was announced! Hopefully the book tells us what the crap happened during this... "story". Not to hate on it, but it simultaneously managed to be both the most easily predictable plot ever and the most convoluted plot ever, somehow.

This thread will be updated with pics and stuff once the book falls into my hands.

Nice. Concept art is always fun to watch.

Unfortunately, my local Kinokuniya won't deliver the copy I ordered until next week, so I'll be a week off release.

To move back to PSO2, I just got around to watching 126-C in english(and the rest of the recent update), and I like the parallels to Phantasy Star II a lot. Mother is becoming more machine like, which is obviously the Mother Brain reference there, but I also like that Mother purposely absorbed a Falz and is losing control from what I understand, which is exactly what happened in PSII, Mother Brain was infected by Dark Falz and went nuts.
I got it when I watched it in game, but it really makes a difference to watch it in english, my japanese just isn't good enough yet.

Episode 4 is poorly written, but I love to think of it as a new reimagining of PSII, keeps me interested to see how they redo that game in this.

"Reimagining" Huh? Okay.

I'll admit. I laughed. when i saw that.

Ooh, so now their trying to be Fullmetal Alchemist now? What's next? Phaleg is a homunculus? Player loses an arm and a leg? Player and Matoi propose to each other in the nerdiest way possible? Aru's soul gets attached into a metal body? Player's support partner gets horribly transmuted to become a chimera hybrid? Romi Park finally gets casted into the Story?



Though not as grimdark as PSII. I mean, whoa! One early quest ends with an old man accidentally killing his own daughter and then killing himself afterwards in horror. That's some The Last of Us levels of dark and tragedy!

Yeah......*Sighs*
