I don't have access to Dias, Ernest and Bowman in my current playthrough, so here's my alt dream team: Claude and his hyper, bossy sisters 😌 We're running the Cave of Trials/Maze of Tribulations right now! 🙌

I love making flippy compositions! Also while I was working on this I was told/reminded that it's #Swordtember so my timing is 💪

Ah yes, finally tried out the most pointless new feature for myself.

Apparently this was in SE too, but I didn't realize (remember/try it?). If you rename your protagonist to the name of a recruitable character, during intros they'll exclaim, "Wow! What a coincidence! That's my name too!!" 😂

In Japanese both seiyuu actually say the name, e.g., "Celine C. Kenny". In English, Claude says "What a coincidence!" But still says Claude lol

Last SO2R post for today (I think 😂) - a direct visual comparison for Prince Clother and Ensign Kenni.

And a two-decades old mystery (to me) has finally been solved.

The mysterious case of the name of Salva's bar in Star Ocean 2.

Here's that funny translation thing with Opera in Hilton that I found yesterday, haha. Just like Claude's random scream (see: https://mastodon.art/@maiji/112736078037518182), it's super amusing to finally be able to contextualize so many random childhood memories of this wonderful game 😂

I'm ecstatic that after 12 years I finally got to the part where Ernest properly appears in If/Then. Hooray! 🙌 My dream team assembled!!

I wrote a post about the opening soliloquy in #StarOcean2 Claude's story, with links to every version, a metaphrase of original Japanese compared to both official translations, plus thoughts on cinematics, translation decisions, delivery choices across 6 voice actors.

Lots of fun with Japanese practice, also got to hear Claude talk a million times 😆

Yay! Hit a milestone in my Star Ocean 2 reimagining If/Then - I finished the Arlia section!! Almost at 60K words now.

There are so many scenes in progress right now, haha. I'm going to attempt to switch gears to some other projects to let things percolate a bit. Keyword being attempt 😂 brains gonna do what they do...

Every so often, my brain does a thing during sleep time housekeeping where it jams together a bunch of stuff I’ve been doing/thinking about and manages to make a coherent slice-of-life dream/fanfic that I actually remember when I wake up. Here's this morning's!

Broke 50k words on If/Then and four scenes left to go to wrap up the Arlia section :abunhdowohop: and the first character recruitment!

The Tournament of Arms/Armory Contest is one of SO2's most iconic plot points! I had some fun writing a reflection on how the game uses perspective to manipulate player perception of events/characters.

I also have a comparison of game, manga, and anime versions summarized by: who enters under which smiths; reason(s) for entry; the matches; conclusion.

Due to accidentally repeatedly rewatching traumatic scenes in SO2, I wrote some thoughts about perspective storytelling and something that always bothered me (and a lot of other people) about Claude's story. Bonus: some fun comparing voice actor performances across the different versions!

Just broke 40K words on my SO2 fanfic If/Then 😤 Blasting through scenes this week!! I already posted 3, 2 more should be ready by this weekend :abunhdowohop: One of them is completely new, freshly conceived and written in 2024 as opposed to editing a draft from 2012, haha. It's interesting comparing with my younger self's writing style and approach!

There I was watching some of the recent trailers for the #StarOceanSecondStoryR news, and naturally it came to a point where fishing would be integrated. Ah yes, fishing, truly how was it a true RPG game before hehe

It’s very strange in the last bits of October for it to be around 19 degrees or so. Do not like.

#RainyMorning makes me want to just go back to bed
