Unskippable: Time & Eternity, Part 2

[BrownGaijin]

ALRIGHT! Who invited the badass live action version of Sailor Moon to this wedding?!? *gets looks* Trust me...you don't wanna know.

So...this game involves time travel, eh? Hopefully, they can get Zack to a...Doctor. *gets even more looks* Look, I'm sorry! But since hearing DVS BSTrD got banned, SOMEONE has to pick up the bad pun slack!

Apparently that blue dragon does have a purpose later on in the story as apparently Zack's soul goes into the dragon at one point...Wikipedia sure isn't helping me understand this game any better.

Actually...

Spoiler: Hiding plot for anyone who still hasn't played the game but still plans on doing so. Stop laughing.

the dragon (Drake) is brought up during the scene where they fast forwarded in Unskippable Part 1. There's mention of Toki taking him to the bath. As for time travel, Toki's blood line does it by having their soul go back and take possession of their body at the time they are travelling. Since Zack is not part of their blood line, things get screwy and his soul takes possession of her pet dragon.

So.... what exactly DOES happen if you pick "I don't"? Longer cutscene or nonstandard game over?

He says "I don't", the priest corrects him, and then he says "I do". It's a running gag as they go through the ceremony several times because he's always getting killed, and his alternate responses become more "elaborate". He's like an anime Kenny.

Yeah, I was expecting something more myself.

You know a game will suck when the developer will not shut up about the gimmick.

 

[Callate]

Here's a wacky idea: how about instead of nobly sacrificing yourself, you draw your sword during the six seconds of ninja run-up to the altar rather than immediately after they stab you?

......That's it?

Why couldn't it at least be like the Rambo game for the NES and explicitly say, "The game doesn't start until you say YES"?

Or the Psychonauts way where you get slapped in the face and asked: "How about now?" every time you say no.

 

[Lieju]

Well it might have been dumb but at least it was unexpected.
Kinda interested in this game now, actually.

When the blue-haired guy said he had no idea what's going on, I had to nod and say "Me too, man." Surprised Graham and Paul didn't catch on to that.

you get a modern gaming equivalent to "but thou must!"

honestly, as bad as the pacing is, it's the dialogue that really hurt me. I bought this game, because the only way good JRPGs have a chance of getting released stateside anymore is if SOMEONE jumps on the grenade and plays the bad ones that sneak over, but I knew it would be unenjoyable from a story perspective. at least the gameplay elements were decent.

In fairness, still not as long as it took to get to the title card of Kingdom Hearts 2.

But that was a far better game, and was actually mostly game play so I don't know if it counts.

Every time they said "back to the past"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Us8OK_iKnE

I finished Psychonauts without seeing that scene. :<

KH2 just had the longest tutorial ever.

Okay, this is an anime nitpick as a whole, but why do they always make blood stains look so fuzzy? When your image is made up of crisp lines, the blotchy, low res blood looks horrific and ruins the picture.

 

[Tireseas_v1legacy]

Wait, dragons are worth mentioning? I've been raising a clutch of them and never had an issue...

 

[leviadragon99]

Wait... what? I mean... zuh? So she has Dissociative identity disorder based superpowers... seems legit.

 

[Keith Fraser]

I told myself it couldn't be any worse than the first episode. I was...right, as it happened. At least actual plot events occurred in this one. But the voice acting is still beyond terrible. Why do people who dub anime and JRPGs think that squeaky, incredibly American valley girl accents work for every single type of female character in every conceivable setting and genre?

Also, since his wife apparently is two people in one body, is Zack technically a bigamist? And is he going to get doubly lucky if they ever make it to the wedding night?

 

[Reed Spacer]

The fact that the game is absolute ass really seals the deal.

I saw a video of a battle and thought I was looking at an early PS2 game.
