Ask Veronica, The "We've All Got Cell Phones, So Come On, Let's Get Real" Gamera - Early Morning CST
Heyas guys. Today was my Slack-off 75% of the Day Day, so I'm getting
Q & A up a bit late tonight. Hey, sometimes it's nice just to wake up at 2:30pm, click on the T.V.
and watch AL T.V. on MTV until you turn into a clay-mated or polkafied nutcase.
On to Q & A Mayhem!
Crimes of Carelessness should win an Oscar, darn it! It moved my soul! ;_;

|
....oops. ^_^;
|
I was reading the ask column as I do everyday...and to my annoyance and dismay
I find you writing a poem saying Hanabishi Recca is a girl! Hanabishi Recca,
star of the anime Flame of Recca, is a guy and he happens to be one of my
favorite characters in one of my favorite animes. I'm just a little offended
by you calling Recca a girl and felt I had to say something.
|
Veronica: Yes, I should be shot for making that mistake. ^^ I apologize.
Remember, although I love RPGs and animŽ to death, I am a job-less high school student. My budget
to buy material possessions is extremely small, and I have to pick and choose what I see and what I don't.
I can only play so many games or see so many OAVs. Gomen!

|
Pu! Pu!
|
I'd just like to know what the hell mokona is? I've never heard of
it.... could you just tel me.? thanxmike
|
Veronica: Mokona is a little, white, rabbit-ish creature from the animŽ and manga series
Magic Knight Rayearth. It looks like this.

Mean Mr. Mustard Monkey
|
Hello, I was wondering if you have finished ff8 yet and if so,(eventhough it
doesn't matter) have you been to Obel lake (on the world map)near Timber and
talked to the shadow in it??? It says something like "please find my little
monkey he should be in a forest, and if he's not there he might have taken a
train to Dollet. You have to whispher twice and don't throw a rock. Do you
know what to do or where to find the monkey???
|
Veronica: There's a lot more to this quest after you find Mr. Monkey... but I'll let
you handle that on your own. ^_^ To get you started, Mr. Monkey is right where the shadowy creatrue implies: the forest off to
the side of Dollet. Look in there long enough and you should find him.

Liberi Fa-whattie?!
|
Veronica,
You are my only hope for the answer to this question, you expert
RPGamera, you. Liberi Fatali: What in the world are those people
singing? I'd like to know what it is in both Latin and English if you
can find out. Thanks!
Matt Millsap
|
Veronica: Liberi Fatali is indeed sung in Latin. A lyric list and translation can be found here on RPGamer.
|
|
...oops. Again.

Now Ronnie, you know I love ya and all, but I must say something about your
comment to the wife asking for a game to buy for her husband.
Now, I'm one of the biggest Suikoden fanboys out there (Luc I love you!!!)
but even I can admit Suikoden doesn't have 108 developed characters - in
fact, a great majority of characters are just there - I would say at the max
20 characters have significant story development. Not that this stops it
from being a great game, it's just high disillusioning to say all 108 have
developement.
Ooh, and an added comment to the wife... Suikoden takes 25 hours to beat
about the first time through... FFA, FF8, and Lunar take around 40-50...
just something else Ronnie didn't really mention that I thought should come
to light. LtPhoenix
|
Veronica: Yes, I made a grammatical error. Perhaps I should have said that all 108 characters
of Suikoden have very distinct personalities. You're right... Gremio and Cleo are a hell of a lot more developed than Sansuke and Qlan. You're also
right that Suikoden doesn't take much time to beat, but I don't think that matters too much when buying an RPG. (Parasite Eve is an exception.) Suikoden
is a wonderful game, despite its swift walkthrough rate. ^_^

Magical Mana Mystery Tour
|
(Editor's Note: The letter in question is referring to Legend of Mana.)
I heard and read about the release date in Japan, July 15th I believe. I
checked out all the great pictures and artwork from the game. And I seemed
to recall there being a confirmation on its release to the US. Am I wrong?
Or was there such a confirmation and later everyone at Square of Japan
decided, "No. Let's just screw the Americans again." Come on, I checked
your site's different sections and I found a couple pictures, a movie, some
artwork, and mention of the Japanese release date. I also read an article
by PSX-IGN covering Dew Prism and they flashed all the other games Square
is bring to the US (Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve II, and Chrono Cross) but
Legend of Mana is not included, nor PSX-IGN list it in the "releases"
section. After reading the formentioned article, I sent a letter asking
what was the fate of LOM....I sent it three different times. Now, after
being rudely ignored...even after simply asking for a response by email (I
don't care about being posted).
So. Now I turn to my favorite site for news about RPG's. Is the game out?
Is it never coming to the US? I need to know, because I might be the only
fan who still cares....and you might be the only person who cares enough to
give me an answer. Sorry to rant and rave, Trevs
|
Veronica: Ouch. Confuse has been cast on you three times, it seems. ^_^ Well, Legend of Mana
is already out in Japan, obviously. I'm almost sure that it is slated for a stateside release next year, supposedly in the
Summer of 2000.

Aztec Anarchy
|
Dear Rpgamera,
Does Anyone other than me notice that Quezacotl looks just like the last
boss from Parasite Eve. What, do you thing Square is to cheap to make new
monsters?
|
Veronica: Square's definitely not cheap. Quetzalcoatl is by no means a "recycled" character.
The form he is depicted in ties directly in with the Aztec legend of Quetzalcoatl. Supposedly, he ascended to heaven
in the form of a bird. (I'd pull out my term paper about him... but I won't.)
