Introductory Q & A, and the Database List, dood!

NOTE: The original version of this LB was posted on Oct. 31, 2010. So don't get too confused by the next sentence, dood!

Happy Halloween! What a wonderful time to introduce my new Live Blog project! Sorry, Inside Story fans (if any of you are still out there), but it’ll be a while before I get back to it. While I do have intentions of returning, I just haven’t been in the mood for the last almost-an-entire-year. Plus, a friend of mine is borrowing the DS so he can play Final Fantasy Tactics A 2.

  • Q. Disgaea, huh? So this is a Strategy RPG that focuses on a Noble Demon, right?
    • A. Uh…no. For starters, a Prinny is the star instead of an Overlord.
  • Q. So it’s a platforming game, like the one that had ‘Prinny’ in the title?
    • A. Incorrect. And if you keep making guesses like this, we’re gonna be here all night.
  • Q. Well then, just spit it out already! What kind of game is this?
    • A. It’s a visual novel.
  • Q. …You’ve got to be [CENSORED] kidding me.
    • A. What can I say? Nippon Ichi can come up with some weird concepts.
  • Q. Oh, fine. So, Mr. Culi, what’s the plot?
    • A. I haven’t actually played the game yet, but I’ve looked at online guides, and it seems that there’s three basic parts to it. There will probably be a tutorial, followed by the main plot, where the player character/Prinny has to stop an assassination attempt targeting Laharl. After that, there’s something involving a delicious dessert, and our choices here will affect which ending we get (with the exceptions of #1, and possibly #13 and #14).
  • Q. All right, I can tolerate that. Does it have any special gimmicks, like relationship values?
    • A. Well, the Prinny main is supposed to get help from some kinda animate pocketwatch named TickTock. You can use this to navigate time forwards and backwards, so you can skip past scenes you’ve already witnessed or go back and change history. You can also possess people and influence their decisions.
  • Q. ...Sure, why not? Now, how will this LB work?
    • A. Well, I’ll try to record as much of my progress as I can without going so far as re-printing the entire game script. Sometimes, when I reach a decision, I’ll save the game and wait until my lovely audience (that’s you) tell me what path you want to take. Also, like [[Tropers/gentlemanorcas Orcas]]’s LB of Tactics Ogre (which I’ve been a major fan of), I’ll let you select from Database terms you want to find out more about. Of course, considering the series, they’ll be more comedic than informative.
  • Q. Seems fair. How will we know when this show’s over?
    • A. Knowing how my last LB went, it’ll end whenever I get sufficiently lazy. However, if we’re somehow able to earn all 14 of the Multiple Endings, that’ll be just swell. We could also try for all the Database items, but that’d just take way too [CENSORED] long.

Stop Etna from knocking you out the window.

And while you're at it, what's the entry on "Another world's language?"

I laughed at V2 Assault Buster Thursday. Of course, the rest was also pretty amusing...
