KITAAAAA yes the receptionist gave me an evil look for putting the office address as mailing address for all my online purchases >_>;;
I don’t have time to skim through the novel since I have an exam tonight but from Japanese twitter accounts:
- Kunagiri brothers love
- “Yabai IzaE (Izana/Ace) ippai”
- Some Machina/Ace
- “Ace kawaii”
- “Machina kakkoii”
- Rem being slightly rude…?
- Jack/Deuce’s conversation is too moe
Sice: What is this place?
Rem: It’s called a cemetery.
Nine: What the hell is this cemetery thing?
Rem: It’s a place where you etch the names of those who are no longer here, and record them in history.
Trey: It is because we lose our memories of those who died, don’t we?
Cater: I’ve heard that it’s due to the crystal’s “consideration”, so that the living will not be too attached to the dead.
Machina: That’s why they carve their names on the Knowing Tags before they sortie, as proof that they once lived.
Machina: The tags which are not claimed after that are proof of those who have died.
Rem: And then, we come here to etch the names that are on the remaining tags, that these people have died for Suzaku.
Rem: I would always ensure that I have written down the names of people I’ve met and those whom I’ve gone out together in missions.
Rem: And when the missions are over, I would check if there are any names I don’t recognize.
Rem: When there are names which I don’t remember, I would come here and search for (the grave of) this person whom I should’ve known.
Rem: Although I won’t be able to remember them.
I love how Rem was explaining stuff to Class Zero since this is technically the first time they were enrolled in the Perisylium XD;;

This is the first game I’ve played where there’s actually a cutscene on a SAVEPOINT, ahaha.
Cinque: What’s this~?
Mogurin: It’s a “relic terminal”, kupo.
Cinque: Reri…….?
Queen: “Relic”. It is a mysterious monument said to have been created from the Suzaku crystal.
Queen: I have also heard that it has the power to interfere with time and space.
Mogurin: It has that kind of legend too, kupo.
Mogurin: In Suzaku, together with magic, the terminal is used as a communication device, kupo.
Mogurin: You can record information and such, kupo.
Queen: If I am not mistaken, the cadets can do the same thing to these “relics”, which have appeared naturally and are scattered all over the world, right?
Mogurin: That’s right, kupo.
Mogurin: If you find one, you should try inspecting it, kupo.
They call it “relic tanmatsu” and “tanmatsu” is computer terminal, but I kicked “computer” out. 8D;;
And actually what Queen said was that the relics were a “natural occurrence” but anyway, yay the ~mysterious~ appearance of the savepoints are explained! Lol game.

Stupid things I’m doing in second playthrough:
1. It’s time to go out for a mission but I ended up changing characters and attempting to talk to Tonberry and adding more minutes to my 180 hours XD;;
Ace: How about… putting down your knife…?
Deuce: First of all, let us be friends!
Trey: Hmph. *makes that knowing hand gesture of his*
Cater: Don’t give that piercing glare, look more friendly! (she used “refreshing”)
Cinque: Let’s get along~~
Sice: You and I may be the same.
Seven: Are you going out to the battlefield too?
Eight: Holding on to your weapon is admirable.
Nine: I-It’s holding a knife…! What a dangerous bastard.
Jack: I’ve just discovered a cutlery maniac~~!!
Queen: Where did you come from, and where are you going?
King: Your unwillingness to relinquish your hold on your weapon is admirable.
Machina: H-Hello… (he said, “Ko… konnichiwa” in an odd, nervous way XD;;)
Rem: You don’t need a weapon here, right…?
Lol most of them talking about its weapon. Jack must’ve had a death wish for calling it “hamono MANIA” lolol technically “hamono” can refer to stuff with sharped edges, but since Ace and Nine called it a houchou/kitchen knife…
2. ACE PLAYING MATCHMAKER LOLOLOL
Actually this was available in the first playthrough, but I totally ignored them. Basically there’s this group of four women and another group of four men (ignore the guy with the sign on his head) and they want to get to know one another, so you have to talk to the women and listen to what they want, and then head over to the guys and kinda hint to them what the women like (e.g. one wants a man to dress in blue because apparently too many guys wear pink, another wants them to talk in a softer “yaa” than the more masculine “ossu!”…) and when you’re successful, the guys will thank you for your ~brilliant~ advice and one of them will give you a l’cie stone.
This sums up my feelings on the enemies in the final dungeon:
The final dungeon made me flip tables and ragequit a number of times, until I find out it’s much faster/easier to use magic on the enemies. (At least, for me, because I maxed out my RFs, so I don’t know about other players.)
The walkthrough was taken from this website and my friend Ayli emailed the whole thing to me in English, but I rewrote/expanded some parts and included comments on my own playthrough. ….Actually it’s probably more of my comments on the dungeon :D;; Obviously CONTAINS SPOILERS.
I love all these behind-the-scenes stuff of what happened to Aria who was still stuck in Byakko while Class Zero peeps were back at Suzaku 8D;;
Qator: You. It’s been three days already, aren’t you going to open your mouth?
Aria: Is it alright for me to talk?
Qator: So you can talk.
Qator: While you may be treated as a prisoner, I don’t remember prohibiting you from talking.
Aria: Whaaaat the hell! So it is fine for me to talk, huh! AHHHH WHAT A RELIEF.
Aria: Mom told me, “Don’t open your mouth in front of others!” you see.
Aria: I heard that you saved me, so I wanted to thank you, jeez!
Aria: Here, have some of my gratitude!
Qator:
Qator:
Qator:
Qator: Maybe you should just remain silent after all.
Kurasame’s memories: look at his hands reaching out towards a bleeding Tonberry T___T This must be his first meeting with his Tonberry wahhh taichouuuuu
Anyway, this is one of the reasons why I hate this mission: Nimbus will pop out of nowhere and proceed to kill off the character you’re controlling. Usually I make Cinque or Jack my scapegoats seeing that I don’t use them much, but since I wanted to level up Cater, Queen and Nine, I decided to sacrifice Machina for this one (and I might as well practise playing as him for the first part of the mission before I replace him with Cater). I still love you, Machina!
Kasumi, one of the Suzaku commanders with Serah’s voice, will instruct the team to get the hell out of there since the l’Cie in this game are somewhat revered/mega-powerful and the appearance of one = srs bizniz = obviously no one can win against Byakko’s l’Cie, but they’ll all just stand there and wait for the character you’re controlling to get stabbed anyway… :/
The first time I played this mission, obviously I had no clue and was using Eight, and then decided to switch over to Ace right before that happened. orz Best part is Nimbus saying, “You have bad luck.” Bad luck indeed.
As for the other reasons why I hate this mission:
1. Fighting against that crazy dude in the machine which has a drill-claw thing that swipes across the ground (I know you’re supposed to run into the alleyway when he does that but sometimes he sticks his claws in there too…)
2. Another fight against Nimbus, but it’s easy since all you have to do is to stick to the sides/walls of the rooms during his Beam Spam because for some reason, the beams can’t reach you there and keep your finger on the lock-on button so you know when he appears behind you and attempts to stab you again, so you can dodge away. The hard part is keeping this up for two/three minutes (it does test your patience lol) until the announcement of a ceasefire which marks the end of the mission =_=
Then there’s also that Level 79 Mandrake (?) sleeping in the basement… wake it up and you’re doomed. So I just ignore all enemies in that area and go to the next one.
DOUBLE REM! MACHINA YOU LUCKY GUY, YOUUUU And one of the Rems is named Shiraishi Ryouko, after her own seiyuu :D
Replaying this mission because I suck at it, which is why I switched to the “Peristylium students” option. :/
What I do all the time for the wild normal Chocobos, which I already have 99 of each gender, no lie. And because I don’t want to use any of my 300+ Chocobos, I actually chase after them on foot. I did ride on Chcobos when I was trying to fill up my inventory to 99 though! The highest I managed was catching over 20 Chocobos before I lost the one I was riding on. Maybe Chocobos last longer when Ace is riding on them lol.
Now, I only ride on Chocobos (and even so, I use the normal type) when I spot one of the rare types like the Taa or Dash Chocobos found in the desert/Old Lorica region or the purple Mikawashi Chocobos found in the Innsmouth region. Or when I’m headed to a mission area outside of Rubrum and feeling lazy.
