OK, the letters that are REALLY against the X-Box are starting
to die down, but there's still an awful lot of them. So, I'm forcing the guys who wrote the
story that started this whole mess to come in here and defend it tomorrow, because I sure can't.
In the meantime, I'll try to make today a calm before the storm kind of thing and try to keep
the X-Box letters to a minimum. So enjoy a nice breather, and then let fly at my mailbox. 8)

Don't know what it's called, but it's big!

Hiya! Thanks to you, I am quite addicted to Escaflowne. It's
hard to limit myself to seeing only one tape a week, but I'm surviving.
Somehow. Anywho, a little while ago I saw someone selling an Escaflowne
game on eBay. What do you know about that?
Also (and this has been bothering me a while) why are giant robots
called something different in every anime and game series I know of? Why
is it sometimes "Mechs", then "Gears", then "Melefs" and so on? I know
it's a bit silly, but it's not easy to remember which name goes with which
series anymore. I think old age is getting to me...

Googleshng: One a week? Try 2 a year! The worst part is the price of individual
tapes keeps climbing but the boxed set stays at $100. Last I checked, that saves you
$80. Anyway, I guess the reason mecha are called something different in everything is
that there's some weird rule that the show/game/whatever must be named after the mecha
in it, or the most significant mech. That cover it?

Chant!
|
Ok.
Here's an honest-to-gawd couple of questions amongst the slew of
anti-microsoft mail and haiku's ;) Not that such things are nescessarily
evil.
1) In the song "knight of fire", you know, the song played in Xenogears
when ever you go into a fierce battle, at one point during the song, you
her some kind of chatter in the background. Is this gibberish, or are
they saying something there?
2) HOW do you beat Deus when you first fight him aboard the alien ship
(which is not so alien)? He keeps healing himself for 16000 HP! Is there
a trick to this battle, or am I destined to lose it.
3) Is there ANY Xenogears character cooler than Citan? I don't think so.
4) What's a good strategy against Ice pokemon? (I'm serious here ;) )
Such as Jynx and Articuno.
5) Do you like Gundam Wing, o anime buff, Googleshng? Personally, I
think it's one of the best damn jobs I've ever seen on a dub (kicks the
FUNimation into their own little wretched Home For Infinite Losers)
If you like it, who's your favorite pilot? Mine's Duo.
6) How soon will Baldur's Gate 2 see the light of day?
And lastly...
7) Wouldn't it be nice to see the pokemon revolt, scream "We can't take
it anymore!" (Translated roughly to: "Pika Pika Pi Chu!"), and eat a
very surprised Ash Ketchum? I mean, come on. Imagine you're a happy
pokémon...wandering the wild, living a natural life, occasionally
electricuting weasels (for fun), when, ONE DAY, some little brat with a
ball makes you his eternal slave and forces you to fight for him in
Cock-Fight style battles!
Scary, huh?
Love and Piercings, (not that I'm in the mood for either)

Googleshng: OK, what's being chanted there is "Sentient mode is capable."
I can say this with confidence because about 5 or so other people I know arrived at this
independently. As for why it says that, uh, I used to have a good reason, can't remember
it now though. As for fighting Deus, well, you notice how every round it halves everyone's
HP including it's own? Just wait (while conserving fuel and maybe healing, I forgot if
that's nessessary) until it brings it's own HP down enough and give it one good solid
whack. That should be easy enough since I seem to recall you have Weltall-2 there. 8)
Moving on, yes, Citan's the coolest, but Billy's pretty cool two and the secret freaks.
If you want to beat an Ice Pokémon, use fire, fighting, or rock. I haven't seen
Gundam Wing, I'm not the one to ask about BG2, and yeah, that's an interesting way of
looking at Pokémon.

Creepy Concept
|
Hey Goog,
The end draws near on my current trimester and I need to have an original
program written for my AP computer science class final. So I decided to make
a virtual pet based on you. Anyway, I need a few ideas so I thought it was
only right to ask you. Naturally, I'll need a name. I'd also like any
suggestions you can give me on any other features you would like to see or
think would be interesting.

Googleshng: A virtual pet based on me eh? I can see it now, buttons to give
it RPGs and anime, it expresses happiness by putting rants up, as it grows it goes from
a little slime to a black cape wearing anime character. I'd better get royalties though!
Then I can actually buy RPGs and anime in real life! 8)

More on this
|
another homosexual to note is Flea from Chrono Trigger. nobody is quite sure
of his sex and he, errr she, errr it plainly states at the first battle it is
no woman. i think Flea also states that either Chrono or Frog are cute.
hey... U'RE NOT FLEA, ARE U?!?
Ramzlita IV
|
|
Googleshng: Oh please, Flea's about as gay as Tsubasa from Ranma. It just
shape shifts into a girl and blows kisses at everyone to throw them off balance. Another
thing someone tried to slip past me was Zanon from Dragon Force. Generally speaking
anyone under the control of an evil soul devouring sword doesn't have any social life
whatsoever. Come to think of it, it's odd that there's enough of them to make that kind
of statement. 8) If you're really grasping at straws though, when Flea blows kisses at
Marle or Lucca, they get charmed just like the guys do.

More homosexuality fun, and a question!
|
This might be a day late but on the subject of homosexual characters in games
there is someone most people don't think about. (at least I didn't at first)
This is Bandiger from Thousand Arms. Although he is not a playable
character, you do encounter him many times in the game. Even though they
don't officially say he is a homosexual, you can pretty much tell after you
hear the song that is played when you encounter him. Not to mention the way
he talks.
Since this is supposed to be a Q&A, I'll ask a question. Do you like Saga
Frontier 2? I just got the game but i have yet to play it because I still
have to finish Star Ocean.
-Jordan
P.S. Xenogears is the best game ever!
|
|
Googleshng: People mentioned the Bandiger thing before, but I didn't wind
up printing those. As for SF2, well, it's a great game, I enjoyed it very much, but the
end is so hard that the average person flat out won't win.

Translation
|
|
We all know that during translation, RPG's get things/features/whatever
added on to or taken away from them. So what exactly did we miss or receive
in the translations of Final Fantasy? (Namely Final Fantasy 5).
Are there any other RPG's that have gone through major changes because of
coming over to the U.S.?
|
|
Googleshng: Well, FF5 had a terribly butchered translation, but to my
knowledge, they didn't take anything out. That really stopped at the end of the 16-bit
era, and back then, well, most things had stuff cut from them. That's the best answer
I can give you in a realistic time frame.
