Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) [01:30] Pencilgon     In SLF, the keys to victory     come from the story. [01:35] Pencilgon     I'd always assumed Wethermon     was some kind of cyborg, [01:38] Pencilgon     who'd modified his body with     technology from the Divinity... [01:42] Pencilgon     But... [01:43] Pencilgon     His classification is "undead monster"! [01:46] Pencilgon     For undead, you use holy water! [02:03] Sunraku     Hey, the guy's screaming! SIGN    Putting Feelings Into a Moment, Part 3 [02:05] Sunraku     Is his field attack incoming? [02:07] Pencilgon     No... [02:08] Pencilgon     This isn't that animation. [02:12] Pencilgon     Bingo! [02:13] Pencilgon     I canceled his field attack! [02:28] Sunraku     Guess he didn't appreciate getting     splooshed with the saint's special water. [02:32] Pencilgon     Hey, can you not make it gross? [02:35] Pencilgon     The saint is like the idol of the SLF world. [02:38] Oikatzo     Hey, what's going on with Wethermon? [02:49] Oikatzo     H-H-Hey! [03:08] Oikatzo     I-I think that thing just transformed! [03:11] Pencilgon     What in the world is that thing?! [03:13] Sunraku     I dunno, [03:15] Sunraku     but I'm betting we don't wanna     let it combine with Wethermon, either! [03:19] Pencilgon     An exclusive new form for stage 3? [03:24] Oikatzo     Wh-What the hell do we do now?! [03:27] Sunraku     A new form calls for a new approach. [03:30] Sunraku     Pencilgon, go help Katzo! [03:36] Sunraku     Wethermon's body has started     gradually crumbling. [03:41] Sunraku     For phases 1 and 2,     we had to hold out ten minutes. [03:44] Sunraku     Maybe for phase 3, we have     to hold out until he falls apart. [03:49] Pencilgon     I'd say this all but confirms the     "time passes" victory condition. [03:55] Pencilgon     Given how it's gone up until now,     I'm betting it's ten minutes more— [03:59] Pencilgon     That's our final time limit! [04:03] Sunraku     Leave this to me. [04:04] Sunraku     I'll survive ten minutes, no problem. [04:10] Pencilgon     All right. [04:12] Pencilgon     Just... don't get too reckless. [04:15] Pencilgon     Until I can get back to acting as support, [04:18] Pencilgon     one death could spell the end for you. [04:20] Pencilgon     I'm leaving this to you, Sunraku-kun. [04:25] Sunraku     Sure thing. [04:31] Sunraku     Sorry, Pencilgon. [04:33] Sunraku     Ever since you mentioned the thing about     hanging in there through the time limit, [04:39] Sunraku     I've been thinking... [04:44] Sunraku     Where the hell is the fun in that? [04:50] Sunraku     A boss where you just turtle up     for thirty minutes straight... [04:54] Sunraku     What kind of game would that be? [04:57] Sunraku     I'll say it flat-out—one     that's boring as shit. [05:01] Sunraku     Game design that puts the story first? [05:04] Sunraku     I've played tons of games like that... [05:07] Sunraku     Games that go for a balance between     the fiction and the gameplay and fail [05:11] Sunraku     are regularly given the "trash game" stamp. [05:15] Sunraku     But Shangri-La Frontier*... [05:18] Sunraku     You're supposed to be a god-tier game! [05:27] Sunraku     Yeah, thought so. [05:29] Sunraku     It popped into my head when I*     saw that holy water attack... [05:31] Sunraku     In the state he's in now, [05:33] Sunraku     he might just take damage! SIGN    Head Equipment Changed SIGN    Spiked Battlehelm [05:40] Sunraku     A passable compromise between     the fiction and the gameplay... [05:43] Sunraku     Any player who endures those     twenty minutes gets a reward... [05:47] Sunraku     A turn to fight back!

[06:04] Sunraku     Before you get a chance to fall apart,     I'm gonna beat you down... [06:08] Sunraku     Wethermon the Tombguard! [06:20] Sunraku     Pretty awesome, huh? [06:21] Sunraku     I practiced the helmet parry a ton. [06:25] Sunraku     "But why parry with a helmet," you ask? [06:28] Sunraku     'Cause if you can parry with your head... [06:31] Sunraku     it leaves your hands free! [06:35] Wethermon     Wind Slash! [06:41] Sunraku     Damn it! [06:43] Sunraku     That one did deal damage, right? [06:45] Sunraku     I landed a damn critical,     and he's not even fazed... [06:50] Sunraku     I didn't go as hard as Pencilgon, [06:52] Sunraku     but I still dropped a ton     of cash on you, got it? [06:56] Sunraku     That money-grubbing bunny... [06:58] Sunraku     I'm gonna use the 80,000 mahni I paid     her to rub your face into the dirt! [07:08] Sunraku     Vorpal Blade Tech...

[07:38] Sunraku     Oh, I haven't even started to get my revenge! [07:43] Sunraku     Drill Piercer! SIGN    Drill Piercer [07:56] Sunraku     If "scars on the back are a swordsman's     greatest shame," then sorry... [07:59] Sunraku     I'm about to deal you a whole lot of shame. [08:08] Pencilgon     How did I just know he'd end up in a brawl? [08:15] Oikatzo     He's cackling like a madman over there! [08:18] Oikatzo     Is that guy okay?! [08:20] Pencilgon     I guess as long as the     cackling goes on, he's fine. [08:24] Pencilgon     The bigger of an underdog Sunraku-kun is, [08:26] Pencilgon     the more his motivation     and player skill spike. [08:31] Pencilgon     But... [08:33] Pencilgon     If we can't hold this thing in place, [08:35] Pencilgon     he'll still end up an unwinnable fight. [08:48] Oikatzo     I tried punching it a few times, [08:51] Oikatzo     and it's looking like     it'll take damage now! [08:54] Oikatzo     Still tough as hell, though... [08:58] Pencilgon     Okay, look. [08:59] Pencilgon     It's not worth sticking out     our necks to beat this thing. [09:02] Pencilgon     Staying alive and drawing     Kirin's aggro from Sunraku-kun [09:05] Pencilgon     is enough to earn us a passing grade. [09:09] Oikatzo     A passing grade, sure. [09:12] Oikatzo     But... [09:14] Oikatzo     Whip Puppet: Snake! SIGN    Whip Puppet: Snake [09:19] Oikatzo     If I'm gonna be graded,     I'd rather get a perfect score!

[10:01] Pencilgon     Even in your current state, [10:04] Pencilgon     it should give you abilities     on par with level 99 or so! [10:10] Oikatzo     Level 99?! [10:12] Oikatzo     That's a god-tier item! [10:14] Oikatzo     Why didn't you whip this     awesome thing out earlier?! [10:18] Pencilgon     Using it comes with a serious penalty. [10:20] Pencilgon     I've used it before, and it     was a pretty rough time... [10:25] Oikatzo     Penalty? [10:26] Pencilgon     I'll admit, I'm getting tired     of this one-sided fight, too... [10:31] Pencilgon     You said you want a perfect score, right? [10:33] Pencilgon     So I'm sure you're prepared for the risk— [10:38] Oikatzo     A penalty? [10:40] Oikatzo     Sounds fine to me. [10:44] Oikatzo     I'm gonna turn you to scrap     and get a big old A-plus! [10:53] Oikatzo     H-Huh? Why's everything     suddenly in photo-negative? [10:57] Oikatzo     I feel like my hearing's gone fuzzy, too... [10:59] Pencilgon     It's probably screwing with your     sense of smell and taste, too! [11:03] Oikatzo     Is this the "penalty"? [11:05] Oikatzo     Well, it does feel a little weird, [11:07] Oikatzo     but it's not nearly as bad as I expected! [11:09] Pencilgon     Actually... that's not the bad part. [11:13] Pencilgon     Every thirty seconds,     your level decreases by one. [11:20] Oikatzo     Huh? [11:23] Oikatzo     Huh? My level goes down?! [11:26] Oikatzo     Th-This thing lasts fifteen minutes! [11:29] Oikatzo     Does it stick around after the battle, too?! [11:31] Pencilgon     Yeah. [11:32] Pencilgon     I've used it myself, and the     sense of loss was palpable. [11:38] Oikatzo     If it's every thirty seconds... [11:41] Oikatzo     For fifteen minutes... I lose thirty levels?! [11:44] Oikatzo     So when the fight's over,     I'll have to start back from level 20?! [11:48] Oikatzo     Why didn't you say that sooner?! SIGN    Oikatzo [11:52] Oikatzo     Ah, it went down... [11:53] Pencilgon     You ate it before I could! [11:56] Pencilgon     Oh, and I'll use my remaining Scale     points to boost my own stats! [12:00] Oikatzo     Hey! [12:02] Pencilgon     Still, I can't believe you chewed it. [12:05] Pencilgon     I know it's just flavor text stuff in a game, [12:08] Pencilgon     but I learned what those are made of, [12:09] Pencilgon     and I haven't been able     to stomach one since... [12:13] Oikatzo     What the hell did you let me eat?! [12:19] Oikatzo     Okay, now I'm pissed! [12:21] Oikatzo     You're gonna be my punching     bag, you robot jerk!

SIGN    Spear of Sunlight SIGN    Spear of Sunlight [13:18] Arthur     I know it dealt damage... but even     with all those stacked buffs... [13:22] Arthur     I still can't even crack it?!

[13:39] Oikatzo     I guess we'll need more than stat     boosts to make a breakthrough here. [13:44] Oikatzo     Its armor seems thickest around the waist. [13:47] Oikatzo     That's probably where all the     important bits are stored... [13:50] Oikatzo     But how the heck do we     go about prying it open? [14:10] Sunraku     Okay! [14:11] Sunraku     I think I've got the hang of     the head-parry-slash combo. [14:18] Sunraku     What's the matter, man?! [14:20] Sunraku     Are you that depressed [14:21] Sunraku     that your robo-samurai sword     techniques won't work on me?!

SIGN    Sunraku [14:51] Sunraku     But I've got so little HP, [14:54] Sunraku     there's no way to use Wethermon's attacks     to fine-tune them down to one-third. [15:00] Sunraku     But... [15:01] Sunraku     With the Moonblades' ability to shave down     and recover my HP with every attack, [15:04] Sunraku     I can do it. [15:06] Sunraku     And one more thing...

[15:17] Wethermon     Thunderclap! [15:18] Sunraku     The stat increase is in proportion to how     few HP you've got, and your "hunger" level! SIGN    Sunraku [15:21] Wethermon     Nimbus Fist!

[15:29] Sunraku     It fills back up when you eat, [15:31] Sunraku     and if you go hungry for too long, it     impacts your stamina recovery rate. [15:35] Sunraku     Naturally, I micromanaged that too! [15:38] Sunraku     I'm at just the right level of hunger! [15:40] Sunraku     If I can combine these skills just     right, I know I can win this! [15:50] Sunraku     His sword's at his hip. [15:51] Sunraku     Another Wind Slash?!

[24:23] Rei     I-It was a total coincidence! [24:26] Rei     It just happened that, miraculously, [24:28] Rei     the planets aligned such that I happened     to catch sight of Hizutome-kun... [24:32] Rei     Then, a series of coincidences [24:34] Rei     ended up with me happening to     come this way a few times...

[25:52] Rei     Hizutome-kun generally passes this way     between eight o'clock and ten-after. [26:00] Rei     He sometimes comes running     at twenty-after, too, but... [26:04] Rei     I-It's him!
