[Spooniest]

UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD

Let's do it to it!

I think it's important that Tina be referred to as a woman if we're going to be parading her around in a nightie, don't you?

Ah, the 101st Armored Corps...poor bastards never knew what hit em.

This wasn't a hard decision, but I left all of this nearly exactly as it was.

I have this idea that keeps coming back of this line being said with really bad voice acting...I think I was trying to keep myself sane while script editing.

I thought it fitting to get the story straight here. The censorship of this game really bothers me to this day. What were they afraid I would think?

On the one hand, it does seem right that Tina be offered a choice. On the other hand, is this whole routine just a way of saying that Tina needs to be able to join without getting her girly feelings hurt? Either way you cut it, this scene is a great way of building tension and giving the player a sense of time passing. Anyway, time to talk to Banan.

...The Genji Glove, because the only thing better than dakka is moar dakka.

Anyway, now I'm gonna go back and say "Yes," so we can see the strategy meeting.

I was playing a lot of Phantasy Star II at the time this was written. Every battle ends with "ROLF and party were victorious!"
