 Faeria : At last... |
(0:00:12.35) |
|
Faeria : At last, the dark lord is defeated! |
(0:00:13.63) |
|
Faeria : You've done it, Sunraku! |
(0:00:41.24) |
|
Faeria : Thank you! |
(0:00:43.78) |
Faeria : It's been such a long,
hard journey, hasn't it? |
(0:00:46.74) |
 Sunraku : Yes. |
(0:00:50.37) |
Sunraku : I've been waiting so long
for this very moment... |
(0:00:53.54) |
|
Sunraku : Faeria. |
(0:00:56.56) |
|
Sunraku : Now, you can go with the dark lord |
(0:01:04.46) |
|
Sunraku : straight to hell! |
(0:01:06.85) |
|
Sunraku : You're the real dark lord here! |
(0:01:21.60) |
|
Sunraku : You're the real menace to the world! |
(0:01:23.72) |
|
Sunraku : Heck yeah! |
(0:01:29.07) |
|
Sunraku : I finally beat Failia Chronicle
! |
(0:01:30.66) |
Sunraku : And I got my revenge
for everything she put me through! |
(0:01:34.07) |
|
Sunraku : Yeah! |
(0:01:37.33) |
Sunraku : The rumors were true.
What a giant pile of garbage! |
(0:02:09.64) |
|
Sunraku : I feel so free! |
(0:02:24.70) |
Sunraku : Is this how a convict finishing up
a prison sentence feels? |
(0:02:27.43) |
|
Sunraku : Now, what trash game will I try next? |
(0:02:32.38) |
|
Sunraku : Morning! |
(0:04:12.12) |
|
Sunraku : Oh, no one's here. |
(0:04:15.73) |
|
Sunraku : Mom, one of your butterflies got out. |
(0:04:27.30) |
|
Sunraku : Heading out! |
(0:04:33.65) |
 Psyger-0 : E-Excuse me... Hizutome-kun... |
(0:05:00.26) |
|
Psyger-0 : Wh-What have you been up to? |
(0:05:03.57) |
|
Psyger-0 : Th-That's not what I meant! |
(0:05:06.74) |
|
Psyger-0 : I meant to ask... what game are you playing? |
(0:05:07.95) |
|
Psyger-0 : Oh, really? The truth is, I also— |
(0:05:12.44) |
|
Psyger-0 : Okay! |
(0:05:19.08) |
|
Psyger-0 : Hizu— |
(0:05:30.68) |
|
Sunraku : Heya. |
(0:05:32.59) |
|
Sunraku : As a matter of fact... |
(0:05:35.09) |
Sunraku : Listen to this, man!
Talk about a nightmare... |
(0:05:36.75) |
|
Sunraku : Trashiest trash game ever... |
(0:05:40.12) |
 Mana Iwamaki : Summer vacation starts tomorrow, then? |
(0:05:52.84) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : That should bring in some business, I'll bet. |
(0:05:56.79) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Come on in! |
(0:06:01.42) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Oh, Rei-chan! |
(0:06:02.40) |
|
Psyger-0 : Hello, there! |
(0:06:05.57) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : On the way back from practice? |
(0:06:08.93) |
|
Psyger-0 : Yes. |
(0:06:10.43) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Sorry, but he's not here today, either. |
(0:06:15.06) |
|
Psyger-0 : O-Oh, I just came to look at the games— |
(0:06:18.73) |
Mana Iwamaki : C'mon, I know you too well
for that little act. |
(0:06:21.16) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Aw, you lucky girl! |
(0:06:25.44) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Oh, to be young and in love! |
(0:06:27.76) |
|
Psyger-0 : M-Mana-san! |
(0:06:29.32) |
Mana Iwamaki : He's been trying to crack
an extra-special trash game, |
(0:06:31.31) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : so he hasn't been by in a while. |
(0:06:34.83) |
|
Psyger-0 : ＂Extra-special＂? |
(0:06:37.39) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : That one there's his latest. |
(0:06:38.97) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Failia Chronicle
. |
(0:06:40.79) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : It might take him a bit longer yet. |
(0:06:42.83) |
|
Psyger-0 : Oh, Faeria Chronicle Online
... |
(0:06:44.71) |
|
Psyger-0 : My sister told me about that one. |
(0:06:47.93) |
|
Psyger-0 : She said it was really hard! |
(0:06:49.89) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : It's a legendary trash game. |
(0:06:51.80) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Miserable ally AI, |
(0:06:54.36) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : utterly absurd enemy attack patterns, |
(0:06:56.68) |
Mana Iwamaki : and more bugs in the code
than you can shake a stick at. |
(0:06:59.35) |
Mana Iwamaki : I hear you need serious skills
to even beat the first boss. |
(0:07:02.99) |
Mana Iwamaki : It's caused tons of players to
throw their headsets in frustration! |
(0:07:06.78) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : On top of that, I've heard |
(0:07:10.70) |
Mana Iwamaki : you gotta fight the final boss
in board shorts and a mask! |
(0:07:12.69) |
|
Psyger-0 : Why in the world would you do that? |
(0:07:16.44) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : No idea. |
(0:07:18.13) |
Mana Iwamaki : I assume it's an efficiency
thing or something. |
(0:07:19.10) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : So? Are you making progress, Rei-chan? |
(0:07:22.73) |
|
Psyger-0 : Yes. I am, but— |
(0:07:25.07) |
|
Sunraku : Got any decent trash games in? |
(0:07:28.77) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Hey! Been a while, Hizutome-kun! |
(0:07:32.08) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Oh? |
(0:07:35.13) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : And... she's gone. |
(0:07:36.32) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Oh, nothing. |
(0:07:39.27) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Wait, did you beat Failia
already? |
(0:07:41.32) |
|
Sunraku : You bet! |
(0:07:44.34) |
|
Sunraku : I took that sucker down! |
(0:07:45.62) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : How was it? |
(0:07:47.32) |
|
Sunraku : It was a spectacular
pile of garbage! |
(0:07:48.55) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Glad to hear it. |
(0:07:51.81) |
Sunraku : The biggest pile of garbage
was that female lead. |
(0:07:53.61) |
Sunraku : Her name's ＂Faeria,＂
and she ticked me off to no end! |
(0:07:56.49) |
Sunraku : She's the cause of pretty much every
problem you run into on the journey, |
(0:07:59.91) |
Sunraku : and then she makes the situation worse and
gets villagers and party members killed! |
(0:08:02.87) |
|
Faeria : Oh, no! I hit him! |
(0:08:09.19) |
|
Sunraku : What the hell is your problem?! |
(0:08:11.12) |
|
Sunraku : What are you even doing in that carriage?! |
(0:08:12.87) |
|
Faeria : Curse you, dark lord! |
(0:08:15.84) |
|
Faeria : He's the reason all of this is happening! |
(0:08:17.35) |
Sunraku : She always finds a way to
blame it all on the last boss! |
(0:08:22.19) |
|
Sunraku : That guy didn't do squat! |
(0:08:25.44) |
|
Sunraku : You're the real problem here! |
(0:08:26.77) |
|
Sunraku : The same thing happens anywhere you go, |
(0:08:28.60) |
Sunraku : but if you give her even the tiniest
little shove to vent your annoyance... |
(0:08:30.31) |
|
Faeria : Now I'm mad! |
(0:08:33.16) |
|
Faeria : I'm not going anywhere with you! |
(0:08:34.31) |
|
Sunraku : She refuses to move the story along! |
(0:08:37.41) |
Sunraku : The autosave locks you
into that state of affairs, |
(0:08:39.61) |
Sunraku : and it takes three freaking hours
to get back in her good graces! |
(0:08:41.32) |
Sunraku : Then there's this, that,
and the other thing... |
(0:08:43.46) |
|
Sunraku : Just thinking about it ticks me off again! |
(0:08:46.24) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : I'm impressed you didn't throw in the towel. |
(0:08:49.14) |
|
Sunraku : Oh, but you see, that's how they get you! |
(0:08:51.55) |
Sunraku : In the three minutes between beating the final
boss and before the credits start rolling, |
(0:08:53.37) |
|
Sunraku : I guess because it's technically a cutscene, |
(0:08:57.27) |
Sunraku : you can beat the crap out of Faeria
without fear of reprisal! |
(0:08:59.29) |
|
Sunraku : It's so ironic. The more Faeria annoys you, |
(0:09:03.15) |
Sunraku : the more determined you
become to brave that hell |
(0:09:06.08) |
|
Sunraku : to experience that three minutes of heaven. |
(0:09:08.18) |
|
Sunraku : But when that moment finally arrives... |
(0:09:11.52) |
|
Sunraku : It's as if all that's wiped away! |
(0:09:15.58) |
Sunraku : You feel like you understand
why you were put on this Earth. |
(0:09:18.36) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Glad to hear you had fun. |
(0:09:20.53) |
Sunraku : But since Failia
turned out to be
such a remarkable trash pile, |
(0:09:22.57) |
|
Sunraku : I can't think of what to follow it up with. |
(0:09:26.67) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : In that case, |
(0:09:32.96) |
Mana Iwamaki : why not play something that's
not a trash game for once? |
(0:09:34.82) |
|
Sunraku : Not a trash game? |
(0:09:37.46) |
Mana Iwamaki : Experiencing the lows in life
can help you appreciate the highs. |
(0:09:39.81) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : The reverse is true, as well. |
(0:09:43.75) |
Mana Iwamaki : The fully immersive VR game
with over 30 million players... |
(0:09:45.89) |
|
Sunraku : Shangri-La Frontier
? |
(0:09:53.17) |
Mana Iwamaki : It can be fun to try things designed
for mass appeal now and then. |
(0:10:01.02) |
|
Mana Iwamaki : Right? |
(0:10:05.56) |
|
Sunraku : The opposite of a trash game... |
(0:10:09.07) |
|
Sunraku : A real god-tier game, huh? |
(0:10:11.53) |
|
Sunraku : Shangri-La Frontier
, AKA . |
(0:10:20.74) |
|
Sunraku : It went on the market last spring |
(0:10:24.53) |
Sunraku : and set a Guinness World Record
for simultaneous player log-ins. |
(0:10:27.34) |
|
Sunraku : The concept is... |
(0:10:35.55) |
|
Sunraku : A colony fleet that came from space died out, |
(0:10:37.97) |
|
Sunraku : but not before leaving a new society behind. |
(0:10:41.08) |
|
Sunraku : Thousands of years later, |
(0:10:44.63) |
Sunraku : the PCs are living their lives
at roughly medieval tech levels. |
(0:10:46.96) |
Sunraku : A setup that allows for effortless
inclusion of sci-fi elements... |
(0:10:53.03) |
|
Sunraku : Unlike Failia
, which is so bad |
(0:10:56.66) |
Sunraku : the haters find themselves desperately
searching for redeeming features, |
(0:10:58.38) |
|
Sunraku : this game is so beloved that its few haters |
(0:11:01.98) |
Sunraku : are completely drowned out
by tens of thousands of fans. |
(0:11:04.33) |
|
Sunraku : If SLF
was produced in-house at UES, |
(0:11:44.01) |
|
Sunraku : there's no way it can be bad. |
(0:11:47.55) |
Sunraku : How long's it been since I played
something that wasn't a trash game? |
(0:11:50.62) |
|
Sunraku : I did log in, right? |
(0:11:59.01) |
|
Sunraku : Looks like I pick my job first. |
(0:12:07.47) |
|
Sunraku : Wow, look at that! |
(0:12:11.23) |
|
Sunraku : How many kinds are there? |
(0:12:13.03) |
Sunraku : A twinblade mercenary
sounds pretty flexible. |
(0:12:18.39) |
|
Sunraku : Next, origin... |
(0:12:22.32) |
Sunraku : ＂Wanderer＂ builds defense slowly,
but gets bonuses to luck. |
(0:12:26.49) |
Sunraku : Luck affects your critical chance and item
drop rate in this game, so I'll take that. |
(0:12:31.15) |
|
Sunraku : Next, to design my character! |
(0:12:35.78) |
|
Sunraku : Wow, I can even choose race and body type! |
(0:12:37.82) |
|
Sunraku : I can even start the game with accessories?! |
(0:12:40.15) |
|
Sunraku : Chill out, man! |
(0:12:46.16) |
Sunraku : You've been so poisoned by those
super-limited trash games, |
(0:12:47.41) |
Sunraku : you're getting blown away
by silly minor stuff! |
(0:12:50.51) |
|
Sunraku : Okay! |
(0:12:52.78) |
Sunraku : Time to go hardcore on character
design for the first time in forever! |
(0:12:53.90) |
|
Sunraku : If I wanna hide my face... |
(0:13:34.84) |
|
Sunraku : This mask's my only option, huh? |
(0:13:37.38) |
|
Sunraku : Still, in a big-time game like this, |
(0:13:39.32) |
Sunraku : it'd be pretty awkward to play
half-naked if everyone could see my face. |
(0:13:41.20) |
|
Sunraku : Player name... Sunraku. |
(0:13:49.07) |
|
Sunraku : Okay! All ready to go. |
(0:14:03.75) |
|
Sunraku : Hey, a prologue. |
(0:14:08.03) |
|
Sunraku : Let's skip that... |
(0:14:10.37) |
|
Sunraku : Okay, show me the power |
(0:14:17.00) |
|
Sunraku : of a god-tier game! |
(0:14:20.08) |
|
Sunraku : A forest? |
(0:14:44.11) |
|
Sunraku : Awesome! |
(0:15:00.45) |
Sunraku : Moving around feels
pretty much like real life! |
(0:15:01.98) |
|
Sunraku : I can run! |
(0:15:10.99) |
|
Sunraku : I can grab! |
(0:15:12.93) |
|
Sunraku : I can climb! |
(0:15:14.30) |
|
Sunraku : Failia
was so awkward to move around in... |
(0:15:18.95) |
Sunraku : Actually, it feels like
an insult to compare them. |
(0:15:22.34) |
|
Sunraku : Whoa! It's huge! |
(0:15:26.51) |
|
Sunraku : So this is the world of SLF
... |
(0:15:37.65) |
|
Sunraku : So... where am I, exactly? |
(0:15:45.92) |
Sunraku : Don't games like these usually start you
off in a tutorial town for beginners? |
(0:15:48.41) |
|
Sunraku : This starter map looks pretty basic. |
(0:16:04.29) |
|
Sunraku : Let's see... |
(0:16:07.93) |
|
Sunraku : This is ＂The Rampant Forest,＂ |
(0:16:09.56) |
Sunraku : and to the west is
the starting town, ＂Firstia.＂ |
(0:16:12.55) |
|
Sunraku : Guess that's it. |
(0:16:18.91) |
Sunraku : Okay, I'll head roughly in that
direction while I check things out! |
(0:16:20.17) |
|
Sunraku : I can even land properly! |
(0:16:27.89) |
|
Sunraku : I know this stuff should go without saying, |
(0:16:30.18) |
Sunraku : but actually getting to
play it feels so good! |
(0:16:32.61) |
|
Sunraku : Vitality: 3. |
(0:16:36.69) |
Sunraku : Figures I'd have low defense with
the half-naked thing going on... |
(0:16:38.44) |
Sunraku : We'll have to see how far
that high luck stat gets me. |
(0:16:41.60) |
|
Sunraku : Right as I start playing?! |
(0:16:55.13) |
|
Sunraku : A Goblin, huh? |
(0:16:58.47) |
|
Sunraku : In that case... |
(0:17:00.63) |
|
Sunraku : Let's see what this combat engine's made of! |
(0:17:02.70) |
|
Sunraku : Wow, a one-hit kill? |
(0:17:28.23) |
Sunraku : But it's just a scrub enemy
in the intro, I guess. |
(0:17:30.21) |
|
Sunraku : Hey, I leveled up! |
(0:17:32.81) |
Sunraku : Says it can be dual-wielded,
so it's an option... |
(0:17:38.17) |
|
Sunraku : But its durability is already down to half. |
(0:17:41.50) |
|
Sunraku : Probably won't last much longer, then. |
(0:17:44.02) |
Sunraku :
Monster weaknesses,
patterns, and item drops... |
(0:17:51.21) |
|
Sunraku :
There's a lot to learn here. |
(0:17:55.39) |
Sunraku :
Trash game or god-tier game, you
get this feeling everywhere... |
(0:17:57.97) |
Sunraku :
The elation of diving
head-first into a new world... |
(0:18:02.97) |
|
Sunraku :
You just can't get that in real life! |
(0:18:06.45) |
|
Sunraku : Okay, let's not forget to enjoy this! |
(0:18:10.23) |
|
Sunraku : Well, would you look at that? |
(0:18:30.22) |
|
Sunraku : One hit from that could put me down. |
(0:18:32.73) |
|
Sunraku : One critical won't do it for this one, huh?! |
(0:18:54.02) |
|
Sunraku : Is this all you've got, god-tier game? |
(0:19:02.88) |
Sunraku : If you go for the neck
with every single pass, |
(0:19:05.79) |
|
Sunraku : I'm gonna figure out what you're doing. |
(0:19:08.35) |
|
Sunraku : Look at all that EXP! |
(0:19:13.11) |
|
Sunraku : He was a tough little guy, huh? |
(0:19:14.39) |
|
Sunraku : No weapon drops, though, huh? |
(0:19:17.16) |
Sunraku : I wanted that knife!
I bet it's powerful as heck! |
(0:19:19.09) |
|
Sunraku : ＂Condition Achieved＂? |
(0:19:24.81) |
Sunraku : I can learn skills by taking
certain actions, huh? |
(0:19:27.09) |
|
Sunraku : Hey, yeah, I haven't used any skills yet... |
(0:19:30.73) |
|
Sunraku : This game's pretty well designed. |
(0:19:34.07) |
Sunraku : Since a player's own skill
supplements your dodges and parries, |
(0:19:37.23) |
Sunraku : I can fight pretty well against
even higher-level enemies. |
(0:19:40.71) |
Sunraku : That makes me wanna try a bunch
of different fighting styles! |
(0:19:44.11) |
|
Sunraku : Hang on! |
(0:19:48.33) |
Sunraku : Have I been played this whole time
without encountering a single bug?! |
(0:19:49.11) |
|
Sunraku : Awesome! That's a god-tier game for you! |
(0:20:00.58) |
Sunraku : I honestly wasn't sure if I could enjoy
a bug-free game after all this time, |
(0:20:04.51) |
|
Sunraku : but I can really have a good time with this! |
(0:20:08.67) |
Sunraku : I guess they don't call it
＂god-tier＂ for nothing! |
(0:20:11.87) |
|
Sunraku : Okay! |
(0:20:15.61) |
Sunraku : I'm gonna get me a tough
bunny's kitchen knife! |
(0:20:16.90) |
|
Sunraku : Where are you, bunny?! |
(0:20:20.65) |
|
Sunraku : That skill's kinda crummy. |
(0:20:39.63) |
Sunraku : The big flashy swing
leaves me open for too long. |
(0:20:41.61) |
|
Sunraku : Hey, finally leveled again. |
(0:20:45.02) |
Sunraku : I should probably allocate
my stat points already... |
(0:20:47.01) |
Sunraku : I wish that Vorpal Bunny thing
had a higher spawn rate, though... |
(0:20:53.96) |
|
Sunraku : Guess it was a rare enemy, huh? |
(0:20:59.40) |
Sunraku : It took me forever to get
a matching set of those knives! |
(0:21:01.98) |
|
Sunraku : Since I beat about fifty of 'em... |
(0:21:09.09) |
|
Sunraku : I guess that's a drop rate of about 5 percent or so? |
(0:21:11.15) |
|
Sunraku : This thing's pretty darn rare, huh? |
(0:21:14.60) |
Sunraku : They've got better stats
than the Mercenary Twinblade, |
(0:21:16.66) |
|
Sunraku : so I'd better take good care of 'em. |
(0:21:19.29) |
|
Sunraku : And I learned a few new skills... |
(0:21:21.49) |
Sunraku : But Screw Pierce seems
like the only useful one. |
(0:21:24.43) |
Sunraku : The others seem more
＂better than nothing＂ tier. |
(0:21:27.39) |
Sunraku : Still, I'm not gonna gain any more levels
with the scrub-tier monsters around here. |
(0:21:30.97) |
|
Sunraku : I'd better move on. |
(0:21:35.79) |
Sunraku : I've strayed pretty far away
from the starting town, huh? |
(0:21:38.75) |
Sunraku : At this point, I'm a lot closer
to the next one, Secondale. |
(0:21:41.90) |
|
Sunraku : To get to Secondale... |
(0:21:46.52) |
Sunraku : I've gotta cross this bridge
over the ravine, huh? |
(0:21:48.17) |
|
Sunraku : Aha, I see. |
(0:22:01.09) |
Sunraku : I gotta beat you if
I wanna cross. Is that it? |
(0:22:07.59) |
|
Sunraku : Sounds good to me. |
(0:22:16.56) |
Sunraku : Looks like I've got me
a real challenge at last. |
(0:22:18.28) |
|
Sunraku : Soloing a boss meant for a party, huh? |
(0:22:22.07) |
|
Sunraku : With the great ratings SLF
gets, |
(0:22:25.74) |
Sunraku : it probably won't be dishing out
any silly bug attacks. |
(0:22:28.29) |
Sunraku :
A snake monster's attacks
usually consist of... |
(0:22:30.91) |
|
Sunraku : Coil, bite, tail swipe, swallow, venom... |
(0:22:33.92) |
|
Sunraku : That should be all. |
(0:22:36.91) |
Sunraku : With an avatar that actually
moves the way I want it to, |
(0:22:38.58) |
|
Sunraku : I don't need defenses to beat you! |
(0:22:41.51) |
|
Sunraku : Give me something to enjoy here, |
(0:22:44.21) |
|
Sunraku : SLF
! |
(0:22:47.49) |
 Emul : Mini! |
(0:23:46.48) |
|
Psyger-0 : H-Hello, there! |
(0:23:52.73) |
|
Psyger-0 : I'm Psyger-0! |
(0:23:54.33) |
Psyger-0 : I'd like to show you the prologue text that
rolls at the start of Shangri-La Frontier
, |
(0:23:55.91) |
|
Psyger-0 : which Hizutome-kun skipped! |
(0:24:00.60) |
|
Psyger-0 : Take it away! |
(0:24:03.01) |
|
Psyger-0 : Divine? Divinity? |
(0:24:59.26) |
|
Psyger-0 : There's so much intriguing jargon, isn't there? |
(0:25:01.07) |
|
Psyger-0 : Well, see you again soon! |
(0:25:03.43) |
|
Psyger-0 : Bye-bye! |
(0:25:05.55) |
|
Emul : Mini! |
(0:25:12.80) |
|
Faeria : Oh, no! I hit him! |
(0:25:17.05) |
|
Sunraku : What the hell is your problem?! |
(0:25:19.69) |
|
Sunraku : What are you even doing in that carriage?! |
(0:25:21.19) |
|
Sunraku : I told you to wait on the dang bench! |
(0:25:23.08) |
|
Faeria : Curse you, dark lord! |
(0:25:27.58) |
|
Faeria : He's the reason all of this is happening! |
(0:25:29.10) |
|
Sunraku : But this is all your fault! |
(0:25:31.99) |
|
Faeria : Now I'm mad! |
(0:25:35.30) |
|
Faeria : I'm not going anywhere with you! |
(0:25:36.71) |
|
Sunraku : You're the one who causes all the problems, |
(0:25:38.47) |
|
Sunraku : and I'm the one fighting, not you! |
(0:25:40.35) |
