(Spoiler Warning) Episode 2 Chapter 5 Discussion and Tips

[Scale of Judgment]

Finished it...such a long chapter but a good one...

Noo...I don't want Xion to die...Who will be waiting for me when I enter the shopping area now...

[Shinamori]

I am..Dark Falz..LOOOOOSER!!!

[Rakurai]

The only part of the quest that gave me trouble as a gunner was Falz Angel, as he's the only enemy who could even reach me with any degree of consistency after I got into the air with Aerial Shooting. I can't help but wonder how many deaths are going to occurs at the hands of his exploding darkers, though. They do so much damage (Over 4K damage in my case) that it's not even possible to survive a hit without Iron Will, plus they explode when they die, meaning melee classes don't have many options for getting rid of them without getting killed in the process.

I was kind of shocked by how much damage Angel does overall compared to Hunar.

I am..Dark Falz..LOOOOOSER!!!

I wasn't sure I heard that line correctly, but I guess I did after all.

I'm going to have a difficult time taking him seriously now.

[D-Inferno]

So was Oracle acting as a prison Xion? Or was [Loser] sealed there too?

[oratank]

I am..Dark Falz..LOOOOOSER!!!

persona?

[D-Inferno]

Loser and Persona are two different Falzes.

[ShinMaruku]

Spoiler!

Ulc died during our run-in of the Darker attack on Themis, when the thieves responsible for reviving Falz Elder stole one of the imitation Clarissa rods (only Matoi is capable of actually wielding the true White Tin Clarissa).

Xiao basically pulls the same trick when he had us saving the lives of Matoi and Zeno, and warps us back in time to the specific point just before Ulc died, which allows us to save her. Although, Sarah ends up taking the credit (she had to, otherwise it'd corrupt the timeline and make us look more suspicious).

Spoiler!

Xion was trapped by Luther in the Mothership's deepest chamber. The one we saw was a projection of her will via what power she COULD manifest without Luther figuring out what she was up to.

Xion is able to access the Akashic Records, which are basically the chronicles of things that happened, things that are happening, and things that will happen. Effectively, it's listed as one of those books that God has access to (it's being referenced a lot these days; Devil Survivor 2 and Ys: Memories of Celceta being two games that did it as well).

The Xion in Luther's cage is devoid of her lab coat, has no hair tie or glasses (and she's damn hot because of it), and what little covers her body is a bunch of green-ish blue crystal; possibly a reference to Eve - the whole episode is reeking of Protestant/Christian/Biblical references.

Perhaps the most prime example is Luther's transition from Photoner Luther to Dark Falz Loser - it matches the story of Satan/Lucifer almost to a T (minus the whole killing the one who made everything part).

Wait these bastards actually did a decent story?

[buri-chan]

So far as I can tell, the fight with Luther is pretty straight-forward. He spends most of his time with a shield around him, teleporting about and using lightning attacks like those that happen in Forest during storms. He'll eventually put the shield down to charge an attack, which is when you're supposed to unload on him.

And yeah, I'd Goddess Xion.

Decided to do the MB after reading this thread and holy shitz!!!! The story and every is badass and epic!

But............I got this for the 18th time during cutscenes and grew tire of it even with the checkpoints...

Spoiler!

But with all the symbol thingys, Jesus Christ I'm getting some sort of an idea where Sega will actually implant for players as either some sort of character/race/or whatever ability............or.........glows for 13*s when you pull them out.

[Maronji]

Finished the mission and the general tips guide. I'll take a break before reorganizing the first post.

But dude, that was beyond words. This is the same SEGA we've been dealing with, right?

Also, Matoi, Sara, Maria, and Huey partner cards when SEGA?
