** A close look at the cross-section picture of Naju in the Japanese manual shows the core containing something looking very much like said final boss. You stopped the ColonyDrop...but ''now'' you have to deal with the thing that corrupted it in the first place!

** I don't know, I personally always assumed that the Landers fled NAJU before its destruction. I mean, they're clearly not originally from there (since the original inhabitants were all killed) and they're not with the monsters. If they had a way to reach and land on the planet, then they must have a way off too, right?
* So did the safeties over the self-destruct mechanism reset after the guy who left the ApocalypticLog died? Are the corridors for any purpose other than locking the self-destruct mechanism? If not, then where are the living quarters? (Maybe it's just that those aren't important to the plot, but it still bugs me.) If so, then it would suck living there, wouldn't it?
** I'll field this one. Yes, living there would suck if you were ''human''. But aliens built this place... we have no idea whether their species ever needed to sleep or eat or use the toilet. Given they built a giant planetoid and all the biomechanical enemies laying around, it's an easy guess these guys made a lot of progress in transhumanism, too (or rather trans''alien''ism), and thus maybe they evolved beyond the need for living quarters. As for the corridors, they probably also served as storage areas for important keys or weapons (considering you get one every time you beat a corridor). And I don't think it's inconceivable that the self-destruct mechanisms might reset after a while if you don't get them all. Or maybe they were reset by the bad guys (from the weapons they use, at least ''some'' of them must be sentient).
* It also really bugs me that whoever left the log said "I don't have much time"... yet he had the time to leave us those notes. Maybe if he didn't stop to write everything down, he could have blown NAJU up and saved us the trouble...
** I dunno, that didn't seem that weird to me. Obviously, our Apocalypse Logger was seriously worried that he might fail (justifiably so, as he ''did'' fail), so I don't blame him for leaving behind instructions for someone else to try if he didn't make it. Even with as primitive a device as a word processor, that log could only have taken a few minutes to think up and write, at most. Rather, it was MUCH stranger that all his messages were in ''English'', when his race never had any contact with humanity.
