RTA Sousha wa Game Sekai kara Kaerenai - Ch. 27

[LordofLeechers]

Brahms is making use of the ultimate enemy of speedrunning: unskippable dialogue.

 

[Lunkli]

Shame, the true ending involve killing Brahms because It'd be more interesting to see his layers then Kira just offing him because he's a demon who killed his own kind. By no means is he good but having more for our Protag to question his routing is nice.

It's been shown that the game's "you beat this boss!" flags manifest in this world as physical items. Assuming that these are meant to be actual items that the bosses possess rather than just things that appear out of nowhere, shouldn't it be possible to just... ask him for his item?

Though at the same time a tragic death after he's fulfilled his wish is totally possible as well.

Spend more time in the loading screens than killing the boss

Such is the curse of speedrunning.

When the game gives the player control before the cutscene ends:

 

[Salfaro]

A waste of a perfectly good Medusa 😔

 

[E-yes]

We were reminded again in this chapter that the slime was officially defeated, yet still lives. Brahms has some element of altered mortality given his age, so there's potential.

Or they could always go down some cliché resurrection of Brahms' precious princess that he tries to sacrifice himself for before MC uses the appropriate quest item.

Well, if we used the Greek Myth as Reference. Medusa could come back just as Head and be a Weapon. Tho i could see her being much more Vocal than the Slime.

 

[ansonh92]

Wait wait wait, she was supposed to be "as strong as The Elite Four"
Yet, she died within a minute without a fight scene.
Brahms, are you misremembering???

 

[hunterwar]

i was so confused (specially after reading manga in another site) i tried to refresh thinking some pages were missing, nope she just died like that lol

 

[Turkeyjerkey]

Cute premise, but boring.

 

[bakanisan]

Looks like he killed her during the cutscene.

You're invincible during the cutscene but damage accumulated during it will apply when it ends lol.

 

[Jatopian]

Shachiku is fast, but he's no good at improv and bluffing. He might also be bad with women; I'm not sure he even registered what Kiira said.

Nice thighs on page 27.

Ironic for him to say that Medusa is practically a slime compared to the Elite Four, when there's a slime in the Elite Four.

I want to pat the village girl's braided head.

Medusa went from "Oh no, she's hot" to "Oh no, she's crazy" to "She can be corrected" to "NOT LIKE THAT".

A waste of a perfectly good Medusa 😔

I don't think she was correctable if I'm being honest.

Joke about being hard goes here

You got beaten to it, and with an actual joke rather than a placeholder. L + ratio + not a speedrunner.

Would now be a good time for donations?

I miss when GDQ was good.

 

[PyroTornado]

The girl from the last page, isn't she the one who they mustn't talk to or they'll softlock the world?

 

[WildJoker]

The girl from the last page, isn't she the one who they mustn't talk to or they'll softlock the world?

Only during Laspis speedrun. He says she is safe after he is neutralized.

 

[jctsoi]

Poor Medusa only got a single page for her battle and it was instant over.

 

[the_Bear_from_Bearcave]

A waste of a perfectly good Medusa 😔

We've got great shot of Kiira's glorious thick warrior's ass when she's landing from her jump at page 17 though. We're taken from but we're also given.

 

[kwendy]

Boss in the story: lethal threat with deep connection to characters. Boss in gameplay: ...

Page 25 summoned Gaius's entire speech into my head against my consent.

Tell me. For whom do you fight?

Hmph! How very glib. And do you believe in Eorzea? Eorzea's unity is forged of falsehoods. Its city-states are built on deceit. And its faith is an instrument of deception.

It is naught but a cobweb of lies. To believe in Eorzea is to believe in nothing. In Eorzea, the beast tribes often summon gods to fight in their stead--though your comrades only rarely respond in kind. Which is strange, is it not?

Are the "Twelve" otherwise engaged? I was given to understand they were your protectors. If you truly believe them your guardians, why do you not repeat the trick that served you so well at Carteneau, and call them down? They will answer--so long as you lavish them with crystals and gorge them on aether. Your gods are no different than those of the beasts--eikons every one. Accept but this, and you will see how Eorzea's faith is bleeding the land dry.

Nor is this unknown to your masters. Which prompts the question: Why do they cling to these false deities? What drives even men of learning--even the great Louisoix--to grovel at their feet? The answer? Your masters lack the strength to do otherwise! For the world of man to mean anything, man must own the world. To this end, he hath fought ever to raise himself through conflict--to grow rich through conquest. And when the dust of battle settles, is it ever the strong who dictate the fate of the weak.

Knowing this, but a single path is open to the impotent ruler--that of false worship. A path which leads to enervation and death. Only a man of power can rightly steer the course of civilization. And in this land of creeping mendacity, that one truth will prove its salvation.

Come, champion of Eorzea, face me! Your defeat shall serve as proof of my readiness to rule! It is only right that I should take your realm. For none among you has the power to stop me!

The true enemy of all speedrunners. Unskippable long ass cutscenes. I wonder, would Sachiku force crash and reboot his client, or would he take the safer german option.

Wait till he starts backhopping and trimmping

Wait till he starts Map Surfing.
