Only that musical instrument? Well then, lets go. If you need anything, please dont hesitate to ask. In the Legaia 2 thread I put the protagonists name to vote, but I wont here because not only do I assume no one gives a shit, but Mouse will turn out to be somewhat fitting for this bloke anyway. The default name is Mouse, as you can see. We finally get to put a name to our protagonist. Of course Rummy is a fucking stupid name and conjures up the image of a drunkard. My guess is she was meant to be Rumi in Japanese, and they Anglicised it because we just cant have foreign sounding names in these kids games, oh no. She too was mentioned in the opening credits. Rather pointless for a supposedly important character, no? Its not something that happens often, so enjoy it while you can.Īnd then we walk off.
The islands are about to celebrate the first royal wedding in decades, so things are hopping. Must be a very important interaction then, eh? Kyte is of course the Seaman mentioned in the intro credits. At best, you can dick around with the menu beforehand. Were in control and get to play the game!Įven if you just stand still at the dock, you will quickly be forced into a cutscene with Kyte here. We watch the ship depart, and then finally Seaman: Hope that you have a wonderful stay on the island. were you complementing me or the island? Seaman: Were finally landing on Pandule! Thank you, I take great pride in my musica- The game starts doing a panning shot of the boat as the protagonist jams out.
Our protagonist is silent, but the game implies his responses a lot. (Especially women! What are you thinking?!.You always get carried away when it comes to women .Man! I cant listen to this!) The protagonist strikes up a tune as Pattimo chides him. No matter what we choose, the scene continues on (Hey, whats with the attitude? Im saying this because I care, you know.)Īnd if you select the ellipsis, the protagonist shrugs, but gets the same response as a NO. However, just like Legaia 2, most of these choices dont matter. Unlike Legaia 2, most of Ephemeral Fantasias choices boil down to simple prompts like this. He is largely an exposition device, as youll see soon. Meet Pattimo, our protagonists sentient guitar. Seaman: Sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the journey. Letter: ∜ould you please come pay a visit to my palace on Pandule? While it is a small island, we do have the finest. Seaman: Ill lose track of time Ha! Ha! Ha! Fitting for a game about a travelling musician, I suppose.ĭespite being called Seaman, this bloke is not the Kyte mentioned earlier. For whatever reason, the localisation removed it from the title on the cover of the game (and the title screen, I believe) but didnt change this bit here.Īlso might just mention Reiselied is a German word meaning something akin to travelling song. If you read the OP, youll know I mentioned Reiselied being part of the original Japanese title. The whole list is as follows:Īnd thats our protagonist. These are all characters we will meet in game, so it acts as a sort of spoiler as to whos actually important. The game starts introducing random people by their roles. We then cut to a boat as introductory credits play. Want to guess whether this quote will be relevant to whats going on? We open with a quote from Hamlet, of all things. Certain events occur only if Mouse travels to a specific location at a specific time.Part 1: Day 1 - Mouse in the House Day 1 Mouse in the House The game has an internal clock, and the first five days repeat themselves until Mouse finds a way to stop it. The game's stand-out feature is the time-looping system, which is somewhat similar to the one implemented in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Several characters can be recruited to the party. Mouse has to stop the villain and, most importantly, recruit other people to help him break the spell.Įphemeral Fantasia is a Japanese-style role-playing game with turn-based combat. But soon he discovers that the groom Xelpherpolis has put an awful time-looping spell on the island, and intends to destroy this way the entire population.
One day Mouse is invited to play at a royal wedding on an island called Pandule. In this game, the player controls Mouse, a silent musician who travels with his talking guitar Pattimo.
