surskitty | Entries tagged with lp: suikoden: 2

I didn't forget about this; I just was burnt out on Suikoden for-fucking-ever and neither wanted to do alt text nor continue my replay to fix the music cues. As is probably not a surprise to anyone who knows me, the tipping point for me to re-put together this update was realising that I could get this to be less of a kludgy mass of stuff postable on dreamwidth and stuff for replacement via python script, and have it be actually readable in text form as Markdown. This means it'd take longer to fix up each update than it did already, but it'll be less despair-inducing.

If you'd like a zip of the whole LP shebang as a script reference or something, drop a comment; I'm still not likely to have an actual update schedule. It's fairly legible; it's just really not ideal.

Also, for once, this update actually has alt text everywhere it should. ... I think. I might have missed something. But still.

LAST TIME: Jowy's return! Politicking! Highland's invading! Further politicking!

- Game Overs: 2 total

NEXT TIME: I'm on a boat.

Whoa, it has been ages since I fiddled with this. ... Whoa, I'm actually like two or three updates ahead of this on my save file. Huh.

LAST TIME: SPYING: it's not a good idea. Particularly if your cover story is shitty as hell.

STATS:

- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: Templ(e)ton, Gorudo, Makai, Camus, Miklotov, Teresa, Shin (well, he didn't say anything), Hauser (first line!), Gustav, Granmeyer

- Game Overs: 2 total
- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: THE INVASION OF MUSE.

LAST TIME: Hi, Anabelle! Anabelle's secretary has decided we need to spy on Highland. It's hardly as though we've ever had problems with being thought of as Jowston spies or anything. And it's not like the Youth Brigade is pretty much entirely dead. And it's certainly not as though we just got arrested for being terrible actors. Holy shit, Jess, this is the worst idea.

STATS:

- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: Huan, Anita, and now we've properly met Jillia.
- Jowy Points: 0 - 1 (this plan remains stupid) + 2 (though sacrificing yourself is very sweet) - 1 (but we're level 40 and you're one of the best mages in the game; I'm pretty sure that's not necessary) = 0

- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: We're fucked, aren't we.

I'm getting awfully close to the point where I need to actually be concerned with playtime, so the last thing I did was reset playtime back to 00:00:00. The cheat code for that is:
8006AA52 0000 8006AA54 0000 8006AA56 0000
and that works perfectly fine in pcsxr. \o\

LAST TIME: THANKS, NANAMI. I ALWAYS DID WANT TO GET ARRESTED.

- Game Overs: 2 total
- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: How many spies does it take to make a pot of tea?

LAST TIME: Oh, goody! A true rune! That will make my life much better and not at all give me lots of angst about! I mean, look at Tir! He's doing well, right? ... ... ...

What's a 'consistent update schedule'?

LAST TIME: WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE PLACE TO KEEP FLAMETHROWERS: 1. in storage, 2. in the closet, 3. in my inventory, 4. in the boiler. If you picked four, you were right!

I've actually had this one post-worthy for a bit, but I was fiddling with part division.

STATS:

- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: Mukumuku, Nanami, Jillia
- Jowy Points: ... I can't think of anything that really is point-worthy in this update, but given that Jowy badly needs a hug, let's count that as 5 points, bringing him to 5.
- Game Overs: 0 total
- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: I SURE LIKED BEING FLIKTOR'S PRISONER. LET'S DO THIS SOME MORE!

Okay, I think 48 will be the final update count.

Gooooooooood morning, everyone! Apologies for the delay; I wanted to get started with IV and also I spent a decent amount of time fixing up images for these. ... I'm still not done with that, but. I'm also doing a few format changes to match how I'm doing IV! Probably going to go back through suikoI and get those to match, too, since not changing anything major.

This is the opening movie! Please watch it. Apparently they got the Warsaw Philharmonic to do the music? I really like Higashino Miki's compositions but I'm kind of ambivalent on this one, haha.

( OUR CAST )

NAME ENTRY But first, what do we name the protag? It'll be commented on at least once if Tir and Riou have the same name, so that's a thought.

I got a bunch of suggestions in-thread, and they weren't bad, but I was talking to Espeon and he suggested Odessa and I am giggling forever. It is beautiful.

LAST TIME: ROCKS FALL, FLIKTOR DIE. OR DID THEY???
( PART 01 OF ... 49? MAYBE? )

STATS:

- PEOPLE WITH FACES MET: Odessa, Jowy Atreides (THE SPICE MUST FLOW), Rowd, Luca Blight
- Jowy Points: On one hand, he told Odessa to jump off a cliff 108 * 4 times and still didn't take no for an answer. On the other, at least they held hands while jumping off the cliff. So I guess he's at a -2 for now. (-4 for jumping off a cliff, -2 for railroading, +2 for trying to prevent their imminent Death By Luca, +2 for hand holding.)

- Bathrooms: 0

NEXT TIME: Jumping off cliffs is a really bad idea, nerds. Don't do it.
