Chapter 14, Realm of Arashikonokuni

[Shou]

Episode 15

Hm. I still can't figure out if, behind all his archaic speech, Morris was worried (in Episode 13) about his character dying and staying dead, or being completely erased.

It's never really been made clear whether death could become permanent for a character. Tabitabi got chomped way back in the first chapter and reappeared unaided, but subsequent chapters make it sound like it's more of a hassle to come back to life.

Poor Arashiko. She looks so down. They didn't even find any interesting items to soften the impact of Morris' madness.

Morris would've been perma-deleted along with Arashikoland if he had stayed there.

Regarding Tabi's resurrection in Ch.1 - I stand by the idea that she had an auto-life spell cast via Denki before they started in. Truth is, I hadn't worked out the concepts behind death in the game. Now, it's a pretty standard MMO death. If you die, and nobody lifes you within a certain amount of time, you're reborn in your Home City with none of your EQ. You have to then make it back to the remains of your body wherever it lay to reclaim your goods, provided no one's swiped them in the meantime.

It pays to party up in RoI.
-Dan!

Right. Thanks for clearing that up, Dan.

There could also be an item that revives the bearer automatically upon their death... Kind of like the Phoenix Downs in Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.


Episode 16

Morris and Von Faxon. Recurring villains, ahoy!

I think "'Cuz yer muh budday" was my favorite line in the entire chapter.
