6. And the
nominees are…
Sender:

Q: Which
characters should i use in the game and why? |
Hyuga: I'd choose Fei, Citan
and Emerelda. Here's why:
Fei: Yamikei makes him one of the best fighters. His strength
is increased to a good amount with the LongDarkCoat. His Gears
are also great.
Citan: Whether fighting hand to hand or with a sword,
Citan is the best. His speed is amazing, allowing him to sometimes
get in two attacks before anyone else gets one. Heimdal isn't
very good, but Fenrir is great. I consider Fenrir to be better
than Xenogears.
Emeralda: Strong, speedy, and ether powered, Emeralda
is like a dream character. What her Gear lacks is HP, it makes
up for with it's speed and power.
And for fun, the three worst characters:
Rico: Strong yet slow. Citan can get two or three attacks
in before this hulk. Stier is good, but it doesn't make Rico
useful.
Maria: Okay, so Seibzehn is great. If it were faster,
we'd place Maria's ranking higher. But it's not. Maria herself
is slow, weak, and deathblowless. And her voice…
Chu-Chu: So here we are in a serious game, and out comes
this thing. Chubacca is weak, slow, annoying, and useless. The
Chuwy Gear can't use booster and has low HP. All it can do is
heal Gears, but usually dies before it can.

7. Blast from
the Past
Sender:

|
Q: Who
were those guys chasing Kim and Elly in Zeboim? Go figure..... |
|
Hyuga: Military soldiers
probably. The government wanted Emmy right? So they send soldiers
to kill Kim and Elhaym, then they take custody of Emeralda. Nutz
and Amber hypothesizes them to be under the command of the Prime
Minister and Miang herself, but until we get the PW translated
thoroughly, we'll never know for sure. |
8. I'll take
LUNAR for 100
Sender:
Id
(not the Nisan Sanctuary Id) |
|
Q: In
reference to the site, it rules. My friend showed it to me this
summer. Out of curiosity for the quote of the week. Would the
game would be Lunar silver star story specifically, the man who
represents hot girl magazine? |
|
Hyuga: Nice try, but try
again. The answer is not that man, but it is from Lunar. Everyone
suspects the sick guy. Hey, while the nicknaming NPCs is still
common, let's name this guy Hugh. Heh, heh. |
9. What are
those Jr. Dolls?
Sender:
Matti |
|
Q: What
are those Jr. Dolls? |
Hyuga: They are special dolls
with hidden effects/meanings. Let's look at their hidden effects/meanings:
Elly Jr. Doll: Ether damage randomly does +50% damage,
or -50% damage
Bart Jr. Doll: Emeralda only, raises critical hit rate
Emerelda Jr. Doll: Counterattacks deal same damage
Fei Jr. Doll: Emerelda only, raises critical hit damage
Billy Jr. Doll: Raises accuracy and evade |
10. Like a
Schoolgirl

Q: Hi
Hyuga! Oh my gosh! I'm like your biggest fan! I LOVE these mailbags!!
I just read them over and over and over. Thanks to you, I know
more about Xenogears than I ever thought possible (well, you
and Nutz :)! But I still have a few questions that I don't have
resolved.
1.) What was the role of Miang during the Zeboim era? She seemed
related to the leader or prime-minister or something. Was she
responsible for the war?
2.) Okay, so like when Miang was in Karen (Fei's mother I think),
Ramsus was being created. But his creation was not completely
finished properly with the appearance of Fei (right? I think...
tell me if I'm right). So then Ramsus is all "grown"
up and he has Miang next to him as his co-commander. And, well,
they're like bed-buddies too... but doesn't Ramsus know about
who Miang is/was? Because if he does, isn't that like... kinda
twisted? It seemed that Miang (when she was Fei's mother) had
a hand
in creating Ramsus. If that's the case, then Ramsus and Oedipus
have something in common, huh? It'd be even better if Ramsus
wanted to kill Krelian... hehehe.
3.) Do we know anything about the Miang in Fei's time? We know
she's Ramsus' co-commander... but that's it, right? Do they tell
us what life she led before the latent Miang gene manifested
itself? Do you know where I can get this kind of information?
HELP! I can't read Perfect Works! Oh yeah, did I mention how
cool you are? And no, it has nothing to do with posting the letter
(it's up to you :). I just think you're really really really
cool! And you know a lot about Xenogears, which makes you the
most amazing person ever (well, you and Nutz, because you both
do such wonderful work at this site!). Oh yeah, and tell DMC
that the new images section is great! Hope you don't mind if
I stay connected to your server browsing
through all this info forever and ever and ever! :D BYE!! THANKS
AGAIN!!!
xoxoxoxo
Your biggest fan,
-Margie "I wish I could marry Bart" Manelesco
P.S. Can I get a signed autograph of you? PLEASE?? PRETTY PLEASE? |
Hyuga: Well, what can I say?
The autograph I give wouldn't be my real name, but maybe I could
send you one anyway ;-D.
1). Miang has always kept a close eye on the leader of anything.
Must be that lust for power and the fact that she's the first
lady (bad joke, I know). She may have been responsible for the
war, but it sounds like the people were responsible.
2). No offense to your "name", but many parts of Xenogears
were kinda twisted. Bart and Margie, cousins, marrying? Uh, I'd
go for someone not related to me. But, I doubt that Ramsus thought
it was anyone but someone with the same name. Very few people
knew the truth about Miang after all. Still, it is twisted.
3). Not much is known about the current Miang. We know she stayed
close to Solaris, was the Executioner, kept an eye on Ramsus,
and died to let Elly become the new Maing. (NUTZ says: Perfect
works holds a lot of info about this Miang. I think it read something
like Miang being part of the previous Elements, if not being
the one protected by it. Until we translate PW as a whole, we
won't know for sure). As for Perfect Works, we have already recruited
a translator, and DMC is working with this new guy into making
a PW section here. Watch for it! |
11. Sensor
Excel
Sender:

Q: I
just love this web site, since its the only one out there that
actually has good information. But I was wondering, I just bought
Xenogears a couple of weeks ago, and I made it to the underground
cave with Bart. I was wondering how do reach the second sensor
that is suppose to be overlookingthe waterfalls. I would really
appreciate if you gave me some assistance in this area. Thanks
again for such a great site. |
Hyuga: Well, I'm not totally
sure which one you mean (one is waterfall sensor, the other overlooks
a waterfall). So, here's a quote from my trusty Q&A helper,
the strategy guide:
1). Follow the path to the west, at which point Fei passes the
Sensor overhead. Keep going and then jump on the stone ledge.
Perform a Big Jump over the chasm to reach the Sensor.
2). Return to the Terrace Stones and jump onto the northwest
passage near the Memory Cube. Follow this pathway back to the
cave's start. After heading under the archway, head due west
over a stone bridge to find the Sensor. |
12. Secrets
of the Sanctuary
Sender:

Q: I
was just wondering, can you tell me how to make those cool format
of your page? I could really use some tips, thanks. |
Hyuga: I know the basic way
to do it, but I'm no expert. If I want to do something, I just
fiddle with the HTML until I get the results. But, the site designer
Nutz will answer the tips part.
Nutz: I layouted the whole
site on Adobe Photoshop first, then kind of chopped it into pieces.
I then fitted those pieces into a table using Adobe Pagemill,
and voila, this was the result. I did tons more of HTML editing
by hand using Notepad, coz Pagemill does suck (LOL). |
13. I'll take
LUNAR for 200… (Someone finally Got it Right!)
Sender:
Dan |
|
Q: Not
sure, but I think that the quote came from the kid at the end
of the game who's in the group of kids imitating the heroes;
as I recall, he began by saying something like "I, Nash,
am the second-greatest magician in the world! Who's the best?",
then continues on to the given quote. Afterwards, someone (Alex,
I think?) comments that that was the best imitation of Nash that
he had ever seen. Of course, I don't remember the quote verbatim,
so I don't know if that's it... |
|
Hyuga: It's about time someone
guessed this. Dan, you are absolutely correct. "Her name
is Mia… Mia Ausa… Hubba, hubba." Is indeed exclaimed
by that Nash-wannabe. In fact, you even got the next quote right,
although it was Nall who said it. Your prize is a jar of Soylent
Meat. It'll be shipped to your house from the Solaris Soylent
System on Earth Ltd within a few days. Enjoy.
Dan here's guess was the fifth guess. We even had our own
LUNAR expert The Contact try his hand at the quote, and he too
guessed the HOT GIRL NEWS guy. You people…
`Ere's the screen, and there's the quote. Hoorah for Dan! |
