Yeah, yeah, I'm here. Just busy with work and some other stuff. Plus I watched It's A Wonderful Life for the first time yesterday and it blew me away, kinda hard to concentrate on Sailor Moon in these conditions.

Plus I fought a bit while trying to get opentype fonts to work with LaTeX, to no avail...

But it's still going, no worries. Don't tell you-know-who to send the Lithuanian hitmen yet.

w00t, scantily clad Asian lady!

"Gragt" must be Belgian for "epically awesome" or something, because this thread is totally sweet!

Fantastic job. I can't even imagine how much time it must take to put something like this together.

Strangely, reading this thread actually makes me want to play this game. Of course, I am a Sailor Moon fan.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a Wedding Peach game...

This thread is getting more gay by the minute... Then again the subject is a Sailor Moon game and I'm the author...

PS: I'm not gay.

This update is dedicated to the memory of Dicksmoker, who tried to prove something, though we are not sure what, and ended up paying the price for it.

Chapter 6 - Sailor Mercury's Quest for Her McGuffin in Switzerland! Pervert Doctor! Opposing Enemy Antagonist! Part 1

I'm sure you thought that I already gave up by now, right? Well, WRONG, you little grasshopers, I'm still going! Though I admit this thing gets painful at times, and I wish I did not start it, but I'm in it until the far, bitter end. The good thing is that I can listen to Der Ring des Nibelungen when I write an update, even though it gives me the urge to drink lots of beer, swear at my neighbours in German and do illegal things to farm animals. This whole update was written thanks to the help of the Solti version of Siegfried (1962) and a bottle of Chimay Bleue. This gives me the opportunity for a little digression: as much as I dislike religion, I have to admit those monks know how to make beer!

siegfried-copy2.jpg


If you do not recall, you horrible little person, in the last episode Tuxedo Mask and Hotaru got pwned by Sin's group, after which they decide to flee even though they have the upper hand. Mamoru is in some sort of coma and his old flip-flopping generals decide to appear and say that it's because he got too much dark energy and needs some positive energy to get better, and so the Sailors must go around the world in the search of magic stones. I know this isn't very original but fuck you because it's Sailor Moon you're talking about.

This part of the game start with Sailor Mercury in Switzerland. Admire the view, this is proof that 2D is way better than 3D and always will be. So far, if we are to believe the Japanese views of the world, Switzerland is composed only of mountains; my guess is that this country is next to the "Thar be dragons here" on their maps.

bssmas_00003.png


Suddenly!

bssmas_00004.png


Hm, that sounds like the typical warcry of the muslim kamikaze bomber, or maybe it is...

bssmas_00005.png
bssmas_00006.png


Pfew, it's only a bunch of Youma, the game retains its political correctness. Shouldn't be much of a fight, they're only 6 and Sailor Mercury got an aoe spell.

sailor_mercury.png
How can I possibly fight off so many Youma? I can't do it all by myself!

Uh? But...

bssmas_00007.png
bssmas_00008.png
bssmas_00009.png


Remind me, her IQ supposedly reaches the "This Is Sparta!" level of 300, right?

bssmas_00010.png


"Kya" indeed.

bssmas_00011.png
bssmas_00012.png
bssmas_00013.png


Good thing this hard ice surface was there to soften her fall.

bssmas_00014.png


A native Switzerlander approaches... Let's hope for her sake he isn't hostile. Note the traditional clothes and haircut.

bssmas_00015.png
bssmas_00016.png


Asian woman!

bssmas_00017.png
bssmas_00018.png
bssmas_00019.png


This level truly takes place in the foreign. You can deduce that, according to his reaction, it's perfectly normal for girls in Switzerland to lay around, in light clothes, unconscious on hard ice. It's only when close that he is suprised to see her hurt.

bssmas_00020.png
bssmas_00021.png


High budget transition effect!

bssmas_00022.png
bssmas_00023.png
bssmas_00024.png


bssmas_00025.png
bssmas_00026.png


After falling of a cliff, I can believe she was. Also this wouldn't be a Sailor Moon game without the cliché "Where am I?" line, would it?

sailor_mercury.png
...Who are you?

bssmas_00027.png
bssmas_00028.png


Hello, Hans, I'm glad to see that while you are a Switzerlandish, your Japanese is perfect.

sailor_mercury.png
My name is Mizuno...err...Sailor Mercury. Thanks for helping me. Where am I?

Pfew, she almost let her secret identity slip! Who knows what this European savage might have done of this information?

bssmas_00029.png
bssmas_00030.png


sailor_mercury.png
Underneath...the glacier?

bssmas_00031.png
bssmas_00032.png


This is actually quite commong in Switzerland. You can trust me, I've been there a few times.

sailor_mercury.png
Really...? Well, I have been enough trouble. I really shouldn't impose on you anymore.

bssmas_00033.png


No kidding, if the village is trapped under the glacier I can believe no one visited you for 200 years. And how come you did not start to turn in morlocks after all this time and still live with some semblance of civilisation?

bssmas_00034.png
bssmas_00035.png
bssmas_00036.png


Sailor Mercury decides to discard his advice and strain herself a bit. After all, she is a Sailor Senshi! Let's check her stats:

bssmas_00037.png


Bit weak, but it should be ok.

bssmas_00038.png
bssmas_00039.png


While going down, we find Hans next to some woman with a gray complexion. Is it some kind of hobby for that guy to rescue women?

bssmas_00040.png
bssmas_00041.png
bssmas_00042.png


Typical Switzerlandian household. Look at those fishes hanging in the kitchen, looks like they can get some under this glacier!

As soon as we exit the cosy little house:

bssmas_00043.png
bssmas_00044.png
bssmas_00045.png


bssmas_00046.png


sailor_mercury.png
Zoicite's Kage stone is glimmering... So the Hi stone must be around here somewhere. Zoicite's cave should be somewhere near this village.

What a bit of luck, falling inside this glacier to find out we are close to our goal!

bssmas_00047.png
bssmas_00048.png
bssmas_00049.png


An inn!

bssmas_00050.png
bssmas_00051.png
bssmas_00052.png


Cool! They even accept Yen in Switzerland! It really is the world's capital of money laundering!

bssmas_00053.png
bssmas_00054.png


That's cool, considering there haven't been many treasures so far.

bssmas_00055.png
bssmas_00056.png
bssmas_00057.png


All houses around here really look the same.

bssmas_00058.png
bssmas_00059.png
bssmas_00060.png


bssmas_00061.png
bssmas_00062.png


Like a real mother: the children of others are always better than yours.

bssmas_00063.png
bssmas_00064.png


This guy is standing next to a passage that seem to lead outside the village, let's go explore a bit.

bssmas_00065.png
bssmas_00066.png
bssmas_00067.png


Wrong kind of Village, that one was in UK, man!

bssmas_00068.png


sailor_mercury.png
But I am...

bssmas_00069.png
bssmas_00070.png
bssmas_00071.png


Can't she just tell him to leave her alone? And how did he know that she was trying to exit the village while he was tending to his mother? Don't you love invisible barriers?

bssmas_00072.png


Oooh, potion house!

bssmas_00073.png
bssmas_00074.png


That's a nice stock of water here! They are prepared in case the glacier melts overnight and they get stuck in a dry desert.

bssmas_00075.png


The kind of stuff you can expect to buy in a store in Switzerland.

bssmas_00076.png
bssmas_00077.png
bssmas_00078.png


Let's buy some accessories, they'll come in handy later.

bssmas_00079.png


Yup, stats boosted!

Now, the way outside is blocked by the annoying Hans so let's go back to his house and try to reason with him:

bssmas_00080.png
bssmas_00081.png


We are welcome by a symphony in cough minor.

bssmas_00082.png
bssmas_00083.png
bssmas_00084.png


bssmas_00085.png
bssmas_00086.png
bssmas_00087.png


bssmas_00088.png
bssmas_00089.png


Oh, the drama!

bssmas_00090.png
bssmas_00091.png
bssmas_00092.png


Too bad the way is blocked by monsters, uh?

bssmas_00093.png
bssmas_00094.png
bssmas_00095.png


bssmas_00096.png
bssmas_00097.png


sailor_mercury.png
Wait, I wonder...

bssmas_00098.png


sailor_mercury.png
This fever medicine should work... Hey, please drink this. It will lower the fever.

bssmas_00099.png
bssmas_00100.png


The local witch-doctor probably does not approve of this!

sailor_mercury.png
Huh? It's only some fever medicine...

bssmas_00101.png


sailor_mercury.png
Huh? Why?

bssmas_00102.png
bssmas_00103.png
bssmas_00104.png


bssmas_00105.png
bssmas_00106.png


sailor_mercury.png
But this is Dr. Schwartz's medicine, I bought it in town. It should do the job.

I did not buy anything like this but whatever...

bssmas_00107.png
bssmas_00108.png


Convenient.

sailor_mercury.png
.....I see.

bssmas_00109.png
bssmas_00110.png


sailor_mercury.png
Well then... Could you please tell me where Andeng village is?

bssmas_00111.png
bssmas_00112.png
bssmas_00113.png


sailor_mercury.png
Yes, I am in your debt.

bssmas_00114.png
bssmas_00115.png
bssmas_00116.png


bssmas_00117.png
bssmas_00118.png
bssmas_00119.png


bssmas_00120.png


Now it's ok to let her leave the village to go into the monsters infested area? Those Eurofag are as solid and steady as a rock.

Before we leave, we have a few more areas of the village to explore, people to talk to:

bssmas_00121.png


Japan, the Disneyland of Perversion.

bssmas_00122.png


Hey, you're supposed to confide in me and give me a quest like any normal villager would do!

bssmas_00123.png


Hey! It's my friend, spoiler-man!

bssmas_00124.png
bssmas_00125.png
bssmas_00126.png


bssmas_00127.png
bssmas_00128.png
bssmas_00129.png


Spoiler-man, Spoiler-man,
Will spoil the story for you.
Just say "yes" a few times,
And the plot he will spoil.
Look Out!
Here comes the spoiler-man.

bssmas_00130.png
bssmas_00131.png
bssmas_00132.png


bssmas_00133.png
bssmas_00134.png


That's pretty much all we can find here. Mind-numbing, uh? Anyway let's leave and get into one of the numerous and repetitive fights we'll find on the way:

bssmas_00135.png


A bit tough at the start but gain a couple of levels and everything becomes easier.

bssmas_00136.png
bssmas_00137.png
bssmas_00138.png


bssmas_00139.png


So yeah, just spam the same attack all the time, they'll go down easily. No need to worry about your EP, they regenerate at the start of each fight. And it's a damn shame to give you link techniques, formations and then have your character adventure all by herself.

bssmas_00140.png


Cul-de-sac!

bssmas_00141.png


That's my puzzle, starting to look like something... I guess...

bssmas_00142.png


Ah, another way! Looks like we reached that other village trapper under the glacier for more than 200 years.

bssmas_00143.png


I knew it.

bssmas_00144.png
bssmas_00145.png


Grrl power!

bssmas_00146.png
bssmas_00147.png


So I hear.

bssmas_00148.png
bssmas_00149.png


Another 500 Yen inn, many beds but no clients. I mean, why have an inn while they live under a glacier, no one came in for 200 years and the road to the other village is blocked by monsters?

bssmas_00150.png
bssmas_00151.png
bssmas_00152.png


bssmas_00153.png


Everyone in this place is going "I love you, Dr. Schwartz! Please make make love to me, Dr. Schwartz!".

bssmas_00154.png
bssmas_00155.png


No kidding, 200 years and you still wonder you do not get many visitors? And that kid wants to play outside? What kind of people are they?

bssmas_00156.png


Oh, double entendre. Was it intentional from the translators or did it just slip by them?

bssmas_00157.png


Looks like the Codex is spreading its dark tentacles in everything, including old video games. Even there, women aren't what they appear to be.

bssmas_00158.png


Trannies too, I guess...

bssmas_00159.png


But what?

bssmas_00160.png


Oh, you're going to university to study medicine? Too bad you're trapped under this glacier, uh?

bssmas_00161.png
bssmas_00162.png
bssmas_00163.png


You did not really think it would have been that simple, uh?

bssmas_00164.png


One of the eight hidden puzzle pieces! The rest must be obtained as loot from random fights.

bssmas_00165.png
bssmas_00166.png


They all do in cosplay conventions, and Japan is one big cosplay convention.

bssmas_00167.png


Second and last hidden puzzle piece for the Sailor Mercury section. Time to leave this village. After more wandering along the linear road, we come to a cave. Inside, some new enemies attack us:

bssmas_00168.png


Ice niggers!

bssmas_00169.png


Er.. weird stuff?

I've been leveling a bit here, the XP is good. The good thing with emulators is the option to increase the framerate, particularly useful to grind in games that require no special skill to fight, only that you need to be of a high enough level.

bssmas_00170.png
bssmas_00171.png


My puzzle and stats are getting somewhere.

bssmas_00172.png
bssmas_00173.png
bssmas_00174.png


A fork in the road, going up we get to that small room with a Luna-P ball and a chest containing the first real piece of loot. It's one of those gemmed items, specially made for a character. You usualy find two of these and they'll be used for the rest of the game. Hey, no problems with inventory management, it allow you to focus on the good parts!

bssmas_00175.png


Kinda boosted my stats a bit.

bssmas_00176.png
bssmas_00177.png
bssmas_00178.png


Dr. Schwartz, I presume?

bssmas_00179.png
bssmas_00180.png
bssmas_00181.png


bssmas_00182.png
bssmas_00183.png
bssmas_00184.png


bssmas_00185.png


A wonder he did not get eaten yet.

sailor_mercury.png
Would you happen to be Dr. Schwartz?

bssmas_00186.png
bssmas_00187.png
bssmas_00188.png


In case you forgot, this game proudly bears the seal Made in Japan.

bssmas_00189.png

I'm...er...15.

bssmas_00192.png

David Gaider, Chris Avellone, Brian Mitsoda: if you're reading this thread, you should take notes. That goes for you too, Annie.

bssmas_00194.png
bssmas_00195.png


sailor_mercury.png
Wha...? September 10th.

bssmas_00196.png
bssmas_00197.png


sailor_mercury.png
Ah...yes...

You did not expect that much innuendo from a Sailor Moon game, did ya?

bssmas_00198.png
bssmas_00199.png
bssmas_00200.png


sailor_mercury.png
Yes, I'm going out with Urawa-ku....

Ah! So it was true after all! Nevermind that the guy is only a plot device so far and not a real character.

bssmas_00201.png


sailor_mercury.png
Ah...erm...I came here for something very important.

bssmas_00202.png
bssmas_00203.png
bssmas_00204.png


No kidding, if the whole area wasn't trapped under a glacier and he wasn't the only doctor around, he'd be already in prison.

bssmas_00205.png
bssmas_00206.png
bssmas_00207.png


Careful, honey, the tentacle monster might be right around the next corner.

sailor_mercury.png
N...nothing.

bssmas_00208.png


sailor_mercury.png
It's about Hans's mother, from Kainess Village. She's very ill...

bssmas_00209.png
bssmas_00210.png
bssmas_00211.png


bssmas_00212.png
bssmas_00213.png


You might at first think that it prevents him to successfully heal the people of the area, but if you think outside the box a bit, you'll come to the same conclusion as I that living in a cave full of monsters will prevent the mob of angry villagers to reach and burn him for violating young Heidi when he treated her pneumonia last winter.

sailor_mercury.png
Well, I can go outside... Hey, doctor! You can come with me! We'll go to Kainess together.

Splendid idea! Just watch your back, girl...

bssmas_00214.png
bssmas_00215.png
bssmas_00216.png


bssmas_00217.png
bssmas_00218.png


Creepy old guy.

bssmas_00219.png
bssmas_00220.png


Found the second accessory for Sailor Mercury. There is another entrance at the end of the lab but:

bssmas_00221.png
bssmas_00222.png
bssmas_00223.png


Going back to Kainess is just as easy as it is boring.

bssmas_00224.png

bssmas_00232.png


bssmas_00233.png
bssmas_00234.png
bssmas_00235.png


Of course, another arbitrarily generic item that will need to be retrieved in order to advance the plot!

bssmas_00236.png


You probably didn't know but rice cakes are a very common delicacy in Switzerland.

bssmas_00237.png
bssmas_00238.png
bssmas_00239.png


sailor_mercury.png
Where could we get some Halyomoss?

bssmas_00240.png
bssmas_00241.png


You mean the cave you did not let me go through when I picked you up, you old geezer? Are you implying that I now have to go back all the fucking way, fighting the random trash mobs battles, to enter that cave?

bssmas_00242.png
bssmas_00243.png


sailor_mercury.png
It's too dangerous for someone like you, I'll go and get it.

bssmas_00244.png
bssmas_00245.png


Nevermind that she fought her way through the whole pass two times already. When you are done opposing your token resistance, let us know.

bssmas_00246.png


sailor_mercury.png
...I see. Well then, let's go together.

bssmas_00247.png
bssmas_00248.png
bssmas_00249.png


I'm not sure I want to know the way he's gonna "take care" of his mother.

bssmas_00250.png
bssmas_00251.png
bssmas_00252.png


bssmas_00253.png


Back at the doctor's lab, no one now prevents us from entering the other part of the cave:

bssmas_00254.png
bssmas_00255.png
bssmas_00256.png


bssmas_00257.png
bssmas_00258.png


But all of a sudden, the screen starts to shake violently!

bssmas_00259.png


Yeah, I know, you can't see it shaking on a still screenshot. I was thinking of making an animated gif for you then I though "Screw them, I didn't get proper motivation in the form of a lot of naughty pictures" so there you are.

bssmas_00260.png
bssmas_00261.png
bssmas_00262.png


sailor_mercury.png
Hans, are you okay?

bssmas_00263.png
bssmas_00264.png
bssmas_00265.png


bssmas_00266.png


sailor_mercury.png
!? Could that be...!?

Yes, it's a new opening. In anime and Japanese video games, character have some kind of visual limitation that prevents them from seeing what's exactly in front of them. That's why they might enter a room, take a few steps, then casually look on the right and act surprised as they discover the group of monsters waiting for them in plain sight.

Now that the opening is detected, the pair decides to investigate.

bssmas_00267.png


The screen starts shaking again, it's a shame you can't see it.

bssmas_00268.png


sailor_mercury.png
It's an earthquake!!

bssmas_00269.png
bssmas_00270.png


sailor_mercury.png
Ah! Where did Zoicite's Hi Stone go? I wonder where it went...

bssmas_00271.png


Yeah, it couldn't have fallen down this big hole over there, could it?

sailor_mercury.png
But I should give Hans's mother the Halyomoss first... Or should I?

bssmas_00272.png


Another choice! This actually has some minor impact: you can fight a boss now or later. I want to gain a few levels first so we'll do the nice thing and get the moss to Hans' mother.

sailor_mercury.png
Of course. I've gotta get back to Hans's mother first. Hans! Let's return to your mother first.

bssmas_00273.png

I always help my friends first. The stone can wait, I have to change another person's Destiny first. Now we're just arguing stubbornly. Let's get the Halyomoss to your mother.

sailor_mercury.png
Well then, let's go!

Let's say we change our minds and decide to get closer to that inconspicuous round hole:

Sailor Mercury might have 300 IQ but she is also Lawful Stupid.

On the way, I got distracted and take the wrong route:

He doesn't seem like it but he likes to boss people around. Anyway we soon get back home after a few easy battles with no consequences.

Makes some funny noise and you won't be gray anymore! Also a "cocu" in French is a nickname given to someone whose spouse slept with someone else.

This is a very emotionnal moment and the camera moves away from the maëlstrom of sentiments to focus on Sailor Mercury. Yes, she was just down the hall but Hans couldn't see her.

Yeah, you already got a comatose person to take care of.

Huh...?

Huh!? It...it's all so sudden... (I can't)

bssmas_00319.png


sailor_mercury.png
I'm...I'm sorry, Hans.

bssmas_00320.png


This is a heartbreaking moment, one words seldome manage to capture successfully.

For all his speeches, Hans did not follow her past the door.

Chapter 6 - Sailor Mercury's Quest for Her McGuffin in Switzerland! Pervert Doctor! Opposing Enemy Antagonist! Part 2

Bah, let's leave this little village behind and go back to the cave where we last saw the McGuffin:

bssmas_00325.png


sailor_mercury.png
It's hopeless... It's too steep to climb down. Well then, there's still that other cave to the east.

No Hans to stop us this time, let's try this other way then.

bssmas_00326.png
bssmas_00327.png


Stairs that lead... to another ice cave. No choice but to follow the passage.

bssmas_00328.png
bssmas_00329.png

So you've finally shown up, Sailor Mercury.

Too bad it's a girl, else she'd be nonchalantly playing with her long whiskers.

sailor_mercury.png
Who are you?

nabu.png
You'll be dead in a while anyway, so there's no point in me telling you my name. I'll kill you, Sailor Mercury!

bssmas_00330.png
bssmas_00331.png


She doesn't lose time, and she's bigger than me! Though she didn't want to tell me her name, with some guile I managed to get it anyway. She actually goes down with one hit of Mercury Aqua Mirage.

bssmas_00332.png


All talk but...

bssmas_00333.png


nabu.png
Indeed... Anshar-sama warned me of this.

sailor_mercury.png
Anshar? Is that the name of your leader?

nabu.png
(What'll I do?) (Should I respond to her?) For the good of our cause, I shall kill you!

sailor_mercury.png
Why are you doing this? What is your goal?

nabu.png
Our goal? Our goal is...

bssmas_00334.png
bssmas_00335.png


SPESHUL EFFECTS!

bssmas_00336.png


nabu.png
Are you okay with that? Isn't the Ginzuichou's power such a wonderful thing? Scientists haven't been able to understand its power... But how could such power, one that science can't understand... ...how could it protect the world? I wonder...?

bssmas_00337.png


nabu.png
Hmmm...

bssmas_00338.png
bssmas_00339.png


nabu.png
!? Where did that voice come from?

bssmas_00340.png


Aaah! My young apprentice!

nabu.png
The Ginzuichou... Y...yes...

apsu.png
Certainly... It does have such wondrous power. But...such a power could never last for eternity. Alas, no one knows when its power will come to an end.

nabu.png
Recently, I've been thinking the same thing too...

bssmas_00341.png


nabu.png
What you say is true, that miracle could never last forever.

Your understanding of scientific procedure surprises me!

apsu.png
I'm gathering together people like you. Nabu...come join us. And we'll find out how the power of the Ginzuichou works. Yes...and what shall become of that power...

nabu.png
Yes...I will go with you and help you achieve your goal.

Your journey to the Dark Side just began. Quite a crappy motivation for being evil but whatever.

bssmas_00347.png


nabu.png
I'll keep going till the end!!

bssmas_00348.png


We have to fight here again, and even if she still did not give her name, we can see it again in case we missed it the last time.

bssmas_00349.png
bssmas_00350.png


She is significantly stronger this time, though at lvl 20 Sailor Mercury is simply too powerful for her. Take care that she can cast Toxic Mist, an attack that will poison characters that can't evade it. It will deal roughly 30 points of damage each turn and needs to be removed for it will not wear off by itself.

bssmas_00351.png
bssmas_00352.png


Some Bath Medicine will do the trick, just do not ask why it has to be this item. Even at high level, this battle can be a pain if you do not have anything to remove the poison. The Schwartz Medicine, available only in the Switzerland level, can also remove poison, is noticeably cheaper, but can only be used outside of combat.

bssmas_00353.png


After four turns, she is beaten.

bssmas_00354.png


That's called "grinding", sweetheart, and it's all in the wrist.

nabu.png
I'm so exhausted. Fighting for the stones in such a small place like this. Letting you have this stone will be no hinderance at all. But you will be unable to get all the stones in time. Nergal, hang in there. If she can stop you, then you'll never be able to heal Tuxedo Kamen.

bssmas_00355.png


sailor_mercury.png
Wa...wait! Nabu's gone... She's quite a strong enemy.

If you say so, she was actually quite easy.

bssmas_00356.png
bssmas_00357.png


Hooray!

sailor_mercury.png
I must return to Japan now.

bssmas_00358.png
bssmas_00359.png


sailor_mercury.png
I'll never be able to meet Hans again. If I saw Hans again... I'm sorry...Hans. Wait for me to come back. Important friends are waiting for me. I can't go back to everyone but...

The guy lives under a glacier and hasn't been outside for 200 years anyway...

bssmas_00360.png


sailor_mercury.png
Someday we'll meet again. Farewell...

bssmas_00361.png


She leaves, we can presume she found an exit out of the glacier. We can also presume she did not tell any of the villagers and they'll stay trap a few hundreds of years more. Inbreeding is such a beautiful thing.

bssmas_00362.png
bssmas_00363.png
bssmas_00364.png


And this concludes the Sailor Mercury quest! Next update will focus on Sailor Mars's adventures in Nepal! Stay tuned for more drama, romance, action and pr0n!

I was afraid they'd lose the game's sence of realism once they moved the plot ut of japan, but I'm happy to see they managed to keep it. Also, good update.

lol. that is just fucked up. Falling down headfirston solid ice, and coming out of it with minor injury. Holy shit. Mercury powered make-up indeed.

And man, the RPG engine is really Final Fantasy 6 re-skin.

Radisshu: yeah, while the game is crappy, its attention to detail and fidelity to realism is astounding. I have been to Switzerland a few times and I can assure you it's exactly like that: mountains, old-fashioned villages under a glacier and a pervert doctor for every two towns.

Kaiserin: it's Sailor Moon, they had the budget to hire professional writers. They almost got David Gaider but he was too expensive for them.

RK47: she's a Sailor Senshi, I'm sure she could kick your ass too!

I'm torn between work and my LP. Should I update this more often at the risk of getting sacked? Tell me, Codex, you are my only hope!

Fight the man. Be a burnout. It's fun (until the repo man comes for more than just your penis....).

Wow, I got Annie to post tits! Not hers unfortunately, but hope keeps you alive.

The funny thing is that you are to blame, Annie, because I spent most of my free time play SoZ. I have to say that I enjoy it very much, it's just not good for my productivity (the kind that helps me pay the bills at the start of the month and the other kind that make me post stupid jrpg pictures on this very forum).

Still, Sailor Mars can't wait forever... And there is a certain scene later that I hope will top Andyman Messiah's Aeris Dies. We shall see.

Hoist by my own petard! And I don't mean that in some kind of filthy way!

Glad that you're enjoying SoZ, Gragt :) Moderation in all things, also meaning your excellent playthrough. Keep up the good work!

(and also if you have any SoZ feedback plz to PM me. One of these days I WILL make a mod!)
