Googleshng - September 14 '01- 2:00 Eastern Standard Time
Just now, I finally got around to finishing Kartia as Lacryma. This leaves
only four games in the "won, but haven't gotten every ending" pile. Woo.
Zach: Hello everybody. Things over in Zachland are in a bit
of a jumble right now, so I may not be giving your
letter the attention it deserves. I apologize in
advance for this.
If you have any HP or GP to spare, share it with those
who need it. Thanks.

Suikoden 3
|
Hi Goog and
Zach,
What do you guys think of this Suikoden III
information? Me, I'm just
glad to have a PS2.
As for the characters announced, it was mentioned that
one is from the
Grasslands and the other is from the Zeksen
Federation. What are these
places?
-Traks

Zach:
I'm most hyped about it, and every new rumor or tidbit
that I hear has me wishing harder for a time
travelling device of some sort. I've waited before
though, so I suppose I can do so again.
The Zeksen Federation (spelled "Zexen" in Suikoden II)
is the homeland of several of the stranger characters
in the series - Bolgan, Lebrante, Gilbert, and Hans.
My guess is that it is a European-styled land, to the
west of the Grasslands.
Where are the Grasslands? I'm not really sure. West,
of the known world? Ellie, Rina, Camus, Bob, and
Badeaux may know, as they all hail from there
originally.
Googleshng:
OK, let me just double check. I'm not the only one who finds it odd that THREE groups of 108 people would
have to get together to save the world within a short period of time, right? Even if they DO share people.

Cubic fun

Hola, Goog y Zach (Those Xenosaga mp3's are
great!)
I know this isn't rpg related, but I'd just
like to know your response.
What do you think of Resident Evil becoming
Gamecube exclusive? If I
remember correctly, you enjoyed Code Veronica on
DC, and Capcom has a GCN
remake along with exclusive remakes of RE 1-3.
Also RE 0, and RE 4 will be
exclusive. Of course ports to Xbox and PS2 are very
possible, but this is a
good way for Nintendo to woo more adult oriented
games to the GCN.
|
|
Zach:
I played Resident Evil 2 once. Never again. I played
for three hours, and then I was killed by a zombie.
Anything that lets more people kill them stinkin'
undead is good by me though. If there's anything that
I hate, it's the undead. Nintendo trying to breath a
little diversity into their line-up is also good.
People hate zombies, people love Nintendo. It can't
fail!
Googleshng:
You know, it can either be exclusive, or ported to other systems. Not both. In any case though, woo,
REs on the system with the cheapest discs. Yay.
|
Ok, ok an rpg question. What do you think are
the chances of Square
releasing Final Fantasy 11 on Gamecube? Especially
since FF 11 will be
online. Or even the the possibilty of the PS2
remakes of FF7-9 being
ported to GCN or even Xbox?
Thanks for your time,
NeoSpaz

Zach:
For this question, I shall channel the spirit of FF8's
Squall - "Whatever..."
Googleshng:
FF11 I can see flying all over the place. Remakes of 7-9, well, if one system is clearly on top a couple
years hence, it might get them, but don't hold your breath.

More Suikology
|
Heya Google and Zach
In response to my comment yesterday I wrote it in
kind of a rush and
it wasn't exactly great, but I am biased, I worked
in a game store
for a while and we offered bundles but did not
require them, so not
all of these stores do that. And there is a much
better chance of
getting a new system there too because they get
more.
|
|
Zach:
Hi. It's all good.
Googleshng:
This topic has been in discussion for entirely too long I think.
|
Now the question: Is there any extra benefit to
completing the Clive
quest in Suikoden II, to offset the loss of many
characters?
Darby
|
|
Zach:
The satisfaction of helping a lone gunman on his quest
for the elusive mayfly known as love - You don't get
any secret items, potch, or material rewards, but
finally learning the secret of the man behind the
cloak is worth it. Extra story depth, if you will.
Googleshng:
The peanut, is neither a pea, nor a nut.
...
...
Oh wait, it is a nut.

A good question
|
Heya, Google and Zach,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for keeping this
whole Q&A thing
going. Keeping a sense of normalcy makes it easier
to get by in trying
times such as these. Anyway, some questions.
1. The English voice of Tidus is James Arnold
Taylor, who apparently
played a character named Walla on Futurama. As a
die-hard fan of
Futurama, I must ask: who the hell is Walla?
|
|
Zach:
Hey there Conor,
That's a good question. He's billed before Billy West
and John di Maggio on the IMDB, but the name just
doesn't ring a bell. It's a great mystery.
Googleshng:
I asked the same question when I read that.

Oh my Goddess(es?)
|
Possible Spoiler:
Exactly what relation to Althena is Lucia? Lucia is the only other person who can harness Althena's power to it's full extent (evenÊwhen you foughtÊZophar, heÊwas using Lucia to use Althena's Power). Is she Althena's daughter? Althena's clone? what?
|
|
Zach:
Lucia, the Priestess of the Blue Star... Be she
avatar, splinter essence, or something beyond the
scope of mortal man's mind? A combination of all
three. She's definately the most concentrated source
of Althena's power on Lunar.
Googleshng:
It never REALLY specifies, daughter, younger sister, second in command, you can't really work out the
geneology of a pantheon when you only know of two goddesses in it.
