Although here's a tease for the characters, because I'm undecided on games. 1.) Yuri Hyuga (Shadow Hearts) . . . . . . . . . . . 2.) Tidus (Final Fantasy X) [etc, etc] --- GODSLAYER AWW YEAH |

Wait, you're just done with Covenant? No Dark Seraphim? Nah. I'm not going to magically make SH1 appear right before me, so it might be a day or two before I get it, so in the meantime, I'll do sidequest stuff and keep talking about it here and then tranny can hype up SH1 and etc. --- GODSLAYER AWW YEAH |

well, now that you're done, I guess I can drop everything about sidequests for you. - to get the ultimate fusion, you have to get all the soul drops, Kurando's second fusion (this involves a really crappy sidequest dungeon as well), and... I think that might be it. all of Yuri's fusions as well, but you've got those if you use all your soul drops. - highly suggest the dollhouse, a SH series staple. there's one in every game and they're always creepy. it's another optional dungeon for Geppetto. not sure how to trigger it offhand but I can find it for you -- or you can on that site I linked you to before. - man festival, of course, which is actually really annoying. - Anastasia/Kurando sidequest, which I think you get by talking to Bacon in Wales. after you clear that you can get Yuri's ultimate weapon. - there's some other stuff but nothing all that interesting.. depends on how much you want to do. I never do SH2 optional stuff because it's just unnecessary. --- xyzzy |

Man Festival is annoying, yes, but it's so worth it. ok not really The new fusion for Kurando is probably the best thing. And did you get all the Sword Arts for Karin? --- nyoro~n |

Now, I think I am to believe that Karin ends up being Yuri's mother,
which is kind of strange, but it almost sorta makes sense in a way...
there are a few instances I remember from the game that almost seemed
like subtle hints toward it. Yes, Karin = Yuri's mother --- Diamond WIFI code: 1203-5713-9413 Wi-Fi record: 3-1 |

I always thought the ideal way would be SH1 bad ending -> SH2
good ending -> SH1 good ending. I never really worried about what's
up with Yuri though -- it's all about Karin. That's actually pretty good when I think on it. Mind you, all I know about SH1's endings is that apparently they ran with the bad ending to continue the story for SH2. But if Alice doesn't die in the good ending of SH1, that seems about perfect to me. --- GODSLAYER AWW YEAH |

yeah, there's no reason to try and keep you in the dark about SH1. you
already know all of the plot twists, for the most part. the good ending
is Alice livin' while the bad one.. well, that's the one that SH2 is
based on. which one do you want to get? --- xyzzy |

And thanks for the heads up on the sidequests. For as easy as the game
is, it does seem pretty unnecessary, but probably still fun to do,
especially since there's none of that "argh why am i doing this when i
could be advancing the story." But they needed to throw in some
absurdly difficult optional dungeon or something. --- GODSLAYER AWW YEAH |

Really, the only change between the two is a small scene, a boss and
then, at the tale end of the game, either both Yuri and Alice wake up
from the train and get off, or only Yuri wakes up, bursts into tears
and the game ends. Also, I doubt SH Bad > SH:C Good > SH Good
mostly due to the fact that Yuri has present knowledge, and he wouldn't
of ran out at Seraphic Radiance like he did. --- "Rule number one! Never interrupt THE CHAZZ during a long monologue - Chazz Princeton |

no, actually, all the sidequests are pretty tame. the director's cut,
which was a japan-only release (think FFX international or something),
has a nasty uberboss. it's so damn out of place because it's so much harder than the rest of the game, and frankly, not fun. now, SH3? those sidequests are necessary, there's a badass optional dungeon after you do it all and it literally doubles the timer if you complete everything. --- xyzzy |

Exactly. That's why Karin just ives me the jeepers whenever I look at a scene with her and Yuri. --- "Rule number one! Never interrupt THE CHAZZ during a long monologue - Chazz Princeton |

if Karin still has her memory, it's so awesome. it's like she's sexing
up his dad because she's either resigned to her fate or because it's
the closest she'll ever get to that ass. so awesome. --- xyzzy |

The only thing that would have made SH2's ending better is if they used
Lady Tears II as the final boss music, as opposed to The 3 Karma.

That's not even the worst part. It's like when Yuri's dad goes away...

well, look at it this way. SH1 was made without a sequel even being a
consideration. when you play it, you'll realize how much they crapped
on SH1's plot - Kato, Simon, Anne.. yeah, they really went to some
liberties with 2's plot. --- xyzzy |

3's characters are poor carbon copies of 2 at best and one-dimensional
at worst. it's fairly disappointing to most fans on that front. the
gameplay is where it shines. if you could put 3's gameplay into 2's
story/characters? yeah, maybe the best game ever. I'll let you see, though! --- xyzzy |

not a Nicolai fan? I guess I can give my take on Nicolai: he should
have killed Kato at Mt. Fuji. kickass death scene and a bad guy that's
just flat out psychotic instead of the anti-villain or whatever that
Kato is. he's just really poor as an antagonist -- a likable character,
but someone that completely fails as an actual bad guy. Nicolai had a
little rivalry with Yuri going on and he was fun to go up against. you
actually wanted to kill Nicolai. with Kato it's like "uhh... let's.. fight?" --- xyzzy |

Simon in SH "I'm going to destory the world to form a utopia of free ideas and peace, just as I was persecuted for." Simon in SH:C "Just kidding.

Kato's reasoning for doing what he did was really poor. It's
understandable that he would be upset that he lost Ouka, which is
essentially like losing what's-her-face a second time, but then to want
to be like "OKAY GUYS IT'S TIME TO SENT THIS WORLD 100 YEARS BACK IN
TIME." It's really left field. But, aside from that nonsense, I thought
he was a really likable character. Nicolai was certainly
a better villain, no doubt about that, but Kato is pretty much a good
guy up until his "argh im gonna destory the world" and then he gets all
back to being good after you beat him up. It's weird, but yeah. --- GODSLAYER AWW YEAH |
