I HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN AGES

( Through Inista Marsh through Core Vibration PlotCollapse )

Because I am a crazed, crazy person I kept my promise and scripted all of the variations of the final battle, includes some commentary (before I got too tired for that shit). My personal favorite is actually Anise's.

Obviously, spoilers.

( Final Battle ScriptCollapse )

NEXT BIT. As always SPOILERS FOR FULL GAME. My play times are not even remotely accurate anymore, because not only does taking notes take a while, but I'll typically being RPing or talking to people too.

IN OTHER NEWS. SNAKE HAS FINALLY STARTED PLAYING TALES. YAY.

( Rescuing Ginji to Fleeing from Baticul, 46hrs inCollapse )

I'm slowing down on this a lot now that I'm playing Luke in CFUD instead x.x BUT I AM BEATING THIS GAME AGAIN BEFORE I'M ALLOWED TO START ANYTHING ELSE. It just. Turns out I have a ton of homework so. lol. ;.;

SPOILERS THROUGH END GAME PER USUAL

( After Luke's haircut through arrival to Sheridan. Approx 30hrs gameplayCollapse )

I went and beat ToA again my lunchbreak. NEXT TIME I'll script everything. But anyway, thoughts I wanted to put down:

( SPOILERZCollapse )

Okay so. I finished ToA for good the other day and started on my replay. Before I get to the notes, a few various things:

( SpoilersCollapse )

Okay, now that that's out of the way...

My goal for replay is to assemble enough information that I never need to nag other people to answer my questions again. This is a mixture of character review for EVERYONE and just making sure I understand everything. Primarily, I intend to use this for fic reference. I think I have a decent grasp on all of the characters, but in the course of a 120 hour game you forget a lot of tidbits that could be included in, or inspire fic. There is also the matter of mild things, like what exactly fonons are, how they work, the names and ranks of the side characters, conversations that took place during the game, stuff like that.

So these notes are... anything I found interesting, anything I think I'm likely to forget, anything that inspires me or I think might be helpful for later reference.

It's LONG I'm doing this for the whole game, and this is the only time I'll preface it with a post. But I will be posting all of it incase anyone finds it useful themselves, and then at the very least I'll have easy access to it incase I'm not on my home computer when I suddenly need to know something. Will get a 'ToA' tag and a "awesome info" tag YES I'M GOING TO START USING TAGS.

Notes are done as the game progresses and ordered by where the party is located at the time. It doesn't get any cleaner than that.

Oh, and obviously. Spoilers. IN DETAIL.

( From start of game to Luke's return to Baticul. 12 hrs gameplay.Collapse )

I HAVEN'T BEEN VERY GOOD ABOUT GAME BLOGGING LATELY. Mostly because. I haven't done much. Plot. Though I did get through the tower of Rem my thoughts on that are pretty much teary faces.

Mostly posting to link fic.
