Did you proceed from the Rugga route after all? I thought you'd redone all the battles siding with the king... Also, yeah. Ludin's beard development best development. Unironically one of the things that made him my favorite. Helps that the beard ends up looking absolutely glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) 22 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: 😰 I take it Perfectio is that powerful? When I was reading the comments on a video for the Moon Dwellers version of Haken's theme, someone wanted the rest of the EF OCs to come to OG proper. And someone else commented that there were like two Cross Gates left where that could happen, and one of them is being used to seal Perfectio, so they thought opening that one again would be an absolute no. Having to seal a final boss instead of destroying it in itself is saying something when you have like 60 elite mecha on hand. Yes. The Ruina are basically energy-based extradimensional beings that feed on emotional despair. In SRW D proper (and in OGverse continuity I'd assume), the gate to their dimension is in Antarctica. When a group of scientists are researching the ruins that house the gate, they accidentally activated it (or so, I forgot how exactly that went down), thus letting the Ruina come over. Being energy beings, they took over the bodies of the researchers (Perfectio is in Joshua's father's body, for example) in order to physically interact with things on Earth. In order to turn Earth into their breeding grounds, they... well, don't know if it happens in the OGverse, but in SRW D they do it by sealing the Earth away. No one can leave or enter the planet. From within the sky looks wonky, starless, moonless too, sunless as well if I recall but the light and heat still comes in. From outside the Earth looks like its gone, but the Moon and the Space Colonies are still orbiting around the seemingly empty space, so nothing gets thrown of whack (since the Earth is technically still there). Ironically, this actually had a good outcome: Earth disappears just as Char Aznable was pulling his "Throw Axis at Earth" stunt with the aid of White Fang, and thanks to OZ pulling their coup against the Earth Federation, there was no Londo Bell to stop him (he even had Bright and Amuro as his prisoners when they still tried to stop him anyway but failed). So the asteroid, instead of crashing into the Earth... just harmlessly passes through the now empty space. It's interesting, really, since SRW D was the first time it had Neo Zeon Char as an actual heroic good guy. When his schemes to force humanity into space look meager in comparison to much larger threats looming around, he comes to terms that he is one of the few that can still give humanity a fighting chance. Back to Perfectio, when the battle against him comes, yes, it is because he is ultimately an energy being that he can't be destroyed for good. So he revives and you must fight him a second time. After that, the gameplay is over. He comes back a third time. The heroes realize they can only truly stop him by pushing him back through the gate... and destroy the gate. Now, I don't remember the full details of this as to why it happened that way, but this was done with Trieze Kushrenada from Gundam Wing pulling a heroic sacrifice. Blowing up his mech to take down Perfectio and the Gate with him. The implication is that the explosion pushed Perfectio through the gate as it was being destroyed.

Sooks Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I like how Banner Saga 2 and 3 give characters free points and levels.

Sooks Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 @Saint Rubenio when items add plus 3 to all talents, does that mean the character who holds it effectively has every talent maxed out at once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite handy, it ensures that you'll have options even if your mainstays die / get injured. Just now, Sooks said: @Saint Rubenio when items add plus 3 to all talents, does that mean the character who holds it effectively has every talent maxed out at once? It means they might even break the cap. A character with a talent at 3 (which would normally be the max) will have it at 6 with the item. The effects of the increased rank are displayed in the talent screen. 1 minute ago, WraithReborn said: Yeah, I’ll give that one a hard pass.
