Open ended gameplay! Engrishy translations! Spiky hair! Let's play SaGa Frontier!

Twas an epic battle against the mighty scientist turned flying jellyfish thing.



Asellus learnt that slashing at something twice is even more powerful than slashing at something once!



Also, she protected her doting, if rather creepy girlfriend from flying tentacles. It was cute.

W-what is going on here!?

He turned himself into a monster!

What dreadful power these humans wield...

Has everyone here been turned!? We need to help the innocents!



You need to get everyone out of here! One of the scientist turned himself into a monster!

Monster?

Yes! He mutated before our eyes and attacked us!

Mutated? How so?

His body twisted and turned into a grotesque and unnatural form!

Grotesque? Oh, foolish child.

Wait. What?

Haha...HAHAHA!!

Oh no...has everyone here been turned!?

A disease-free immortal body with unlimited intelligence. Why can't you appreciate that!?



Huh, so the price of disease free immortality with unlimited intelligence is to become a sentient grape.

I'm fairly sure that was a plot in some Disney Series. The one with Chip and Chap and the mouse called Monty. Plums in beam weapons made you... young and... prunes made you old? Something like that.

Does the sentient grape have internet access? Because if so, there's a strong argument in its favor to be had.

Y'know, with how short his arms are, I'm not sure if he could even type on a keyboard.

As an aside, are some of the pics in the latest update loading alright for you guys? They they're loading really slowly for me.

They all loaded just fine for me, but I got a few server timeouts just now in trying to post stuff on another thread, so there may be hiccups out there somewhere.

Everything loads perfectly for me and I'm on the crap pc.

(Yandere locktop immediately contests for the title by freezing.)

I think I'll choose the diseased mortal life, thankyouverymuch.

My piece of shit is loading them fine, so far.

God, Imageshack is loading crazy slow for me. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?



White Rose was less than impressed by the disease free, immortal grape with unlimited intelligence and promptly Force Lightninged his ass.



One thing I found really fascinating is how all the different scientists reacted to their transformation. Some, such as Immortal Grape-san, were more than pleased with the results, whereas some such as this guy were in total despair over no longer being human.



After fighting through a veritable army of human/monster hybrids, Asellus and co find themselves at a dead end.



Of course, this being SaGa Frontier, we all know that important stuff is hidden behind cabinets and bookshelves.

A hidden path? That's not ominous or anything.

You want to explore it, don't you, Lady Asellus?

We can't let this horrible place continue existing. We need to find a way to put an end to it forever!

I agree.



What mysteries await our heroes!? What horrors lie at the heart of the Bio Research Lab!? All these answers and more will be revealed once Imageshack stops being a cock and allows me to upload stuff again!

I can't tell you how much I feel your pain. Half my DA2 LP consists of me cursing at imgur and/or my at the time freeze-prone browser. It can really, really, kill the fun in anything to have to deal with it. Hopefully it clears up soon.

The best I can offer is try clearing your browser cache. That helps me with some problems. Other than that, it might be the website and not you, possibly. I have trouble with sites when they're working on their servers.

This makes me a real sad bear.

Woo! Looks like that worked! Thanks Teddy!

And you know what? Now that I can upload stuff again, have some newly uploaded fanart!

Holy shit, that Asellus looks dangerous :D

Yeah. I love that Asellus is tough, but that fanart makes it look like she's about to shank someone for disrespecting her princess.

I like that :D She takes no shit from no one and she stabs cacti in the face !

Cactus is just trying to show its true and pure and pointy love! Why is everyone so mean to Cactus!

In that case, we're all doomed.

Is it bad that I found the second fanart sexier?

I just found out that the meaning of flowers for cactus is "maternal love". Well, that does shed a different light on Cactus-chan.

Yay! I caught up!

Huh.
So, since we've been seen Asellus's aunt, and there's no word of her mother, can we presume that cactus-chan is her long lost mother? Who had decided to have an affair with a human since male cactuses are boring and prickly. Typical tsundere behavior.

I FIXED A THING!

Jacquelle taught me that trick.

I was summoned! For being useful, even!

Everything needs more J. This thread is cool though. It's filled with Snark and pretty things.

Also, cravats. Incidently, since you can view this thread, Snark asked in the XCOM thread if spoilering the images would help you load it better.

He did? Weird, I didn't get an alert. Well, it's nothing to do with the images, I can view the thread. I just can't POST in the thread. It's some kind of server issues as far as I know. As in, my computer is miscommunicating with this server.

Gotcha. Snark will probably see the response here, anyway.

Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read the whole thread! :D

This...this is terrifying. Oh god, so now Asellus is the spawn of cacti!?

Never will the world be the same again.

<3

Also, just in case you didn't see my post in the Zafehouse thread, if you're still having trouble posting on the XCOM thread, why not try pm'ing me your message which I can then post on your behalf? =D

I'm still holding out hope it'll fix, too.I used to be able to manage one post a day, at least. Blarg. It's such a pain to work out.

How are the other threads working out for you? Are you having trouble posting in this one?

This one soemtimes loads a little slowly, but I can almost always post and not have trouble. It's mostly just XCOM now.

That's so strange...

I really hope you can start posting there again :( On a related note, do we have a tech support forum or something that we can ask help from?

My computer's borked that's what techies tell me. I'd have to pretty much reconstruct this piece of crap to make it act right.

Cache clearing helped for a while, but the thing is as spiteful as it's inventive.

Lemme help you there: HER HAIR WAS ALWAYS GREEN. This wasn't Mystic blood, just being away from her aunt who reguarly dyed it to hide her true heritage :D

Making their way through the secret passage, Asellus and her friends finally make it to the heart of the Bio Research Lab.



Lady Asellus, look!

That's a monster...! What are they doing to it!?

Oh, look what we have here. The intruders have finally made it.

Before I destroy this place, tell me, what the hell happened here?

You would destroy what you do not even understand? Such barbarism.

You are in no place to judge!

Hmph, very well. If you really wish to know, our mission is to unlock the secrets of immortal life. Mystics are blessed with life unending. Why should humans be denied such a privileged?

...

Mystics grow in power by absorbing the life force of others. We believe that if we may learn their secrets and perfect, we could sustain ourselves eternally by the blood of lesser beings. Unfortunately, our methods are still lacking in sophistication as the process irreversibly changes our physical forms. Nonetheless, perfection has always been built upon the ashes of past failures.

So there are Mystics being kept here? Where are they!?

They were here. Unfortunately, they did not survive our experiments.

You bastard! I won't let you get away with this!

Would you stop me, Mystic? Our test subjects were kidnapped under the auspices of the Lord of your kind.

To hell with Orlouge! You die today!

Haha...HAHAHA! Gentlemen, let them witness the apex of our power!



Three amoral monster/human hybrids? This is probably less than good...

Does anyone but evil bastards ever use the word 'apex'? I do wonder.

...DK, I love you and hate you so much right now xD

Disturbing headcanon is what I do best ^_____^

Since I have never played this game nor have heard anything about this game, nostalgia does not color the impression I have.
Your headcanon is now my canon.

You know, I've always wondered why mad scientists are always pictured with foggy glasses. Wouldn't that mess up whatever delicate SCIENCE they were doing?

Science requires a clear head, lots of time, and attention to detail. SCIENCE, on the other hand, requires a labcoat, a complete disregard for moral and ethical practice, and madness.

But, those scientists are clearly moral beings.
They only want equal opportunity for all. It's not fair for only mystics to gain the power of immortality.
