Endless Frontier

Thoughts and translations from the game's official site.

Post-release ramblings

posted May 28, 2008 8:18 AM by Alvin Chong

Ok so a Xenosaga route split as speculated.
Then theres a NxC route split to go after Saya?

Woah, that spoiler is really wtf.
How does it tie with OG?
OG storyline has grown too big and complex, somemore I wasn't really catching it in the first place.

Woah, even the bossess..

So could MnF be kind of setting the scnario for OG3?
Maybe in a small way?

Will anyone be doing a story guide for MnF?
Maybe one of the experienced writers who wrote for the previous SRWs?

So could there be a true last boss on a second playthrough or on playing all route splits?
What kind of secrets maybe unlocked by side-quest could there be?

Game scenario

posted May 26, 2008 12:07 AM by Alvin Chong

Official site-> Game Sytem-> Event-> Page 3

The update has stuff on the story:
(rough take on names)

1-3:
Looks like the events of manga chapter 2.
They call the fallen SM ship "Mighty Ara" or something.

4:
A crew discussion scene

5-6:
Harkan goes to the capital of Lost Harencia.
John tells Harken to go to investigate the mysterious material "Mirutokairu stone" that appeared at the super big battleship "Shurafant Selest". (John calls Kaguya "cowgirl")

7-9:
"Shurafant Selest", there is a transfer device in it that transfer materials from other worlds to here. (Ashen seem to be saying foreign materials often appear there. The device "spits" them out.) The crystaline material, "Mirutokairu stone" for what reason it appears here?(Harken says theres talk that the stone has been appearing at other worlds too.) They decide to go to Kagura Amahara to ask. Going across the area of the transfer device. Lots of parts strewn around.
[Those easter eggs are cameo as foreign junk parts]

10-11:
After the invetigation at Shurafant Selest, the group heads to Kagura Amahara to the Nanbu family's Taketorijo. Talking with Kaguya's father. (Possibly about Phantom as Harken is thinking "The black ghost...should be Phantom. Seems like it really can freely travel via the Crossgate.")

12-15:
Towards the home ground of the Shikioni. In the fort, Shikioni princess Suzuka hime and the fort chief Shuten are in heated arguement. Shuten left and Suzuka went with Kaguya as she was to look after her. Deeper inside there are Mirutokairu stone in front of a door. (2nd line of 14 can't really red, some relation of Koma with Shuten) Koma was found there. Battle with Koma, familar monsters accompany her.
[How Suzuka come into the party? Hmm.. Koma with Einst? Those are Einst, right?]

Never checked there!

Those last 3 tabs are for "the different characters that show up in events".

John Moses
A represensetive from "Tridal Shutato(?)" the capital of Lost Herencia. He seems to be the father figure to Harken and he passed down the "Zeit Crocodile" to Harken. John has hopes in the skills of the second generation cpatain.
[This could be the guy who picked Harken and Ashen]

Deputy Li Li
A beastman who took the role of deputy of "Zeit Crocodile" in place of John.
He comments that Kaguya lookes tasty.

Sumii Marion
The professor that continues her research in the labs of "Zeit Crocodile" daily.
Marion is a half of Elfe Tale's elven race and humans. Seem to live longer because of that.
Does repairs for Ashen.
[Professor Marion]

Nanbu Sameki
The emperor of Kagura Amahara and also Kaguya's father.
[Don't get the second paragraph but John Moses is mentioned]

Suzuka & Shuten[rough]
The 2 seem to be in heated arguement over something.
Screen 1: Suzuka seem to want answers?
Screen 2: Shuten asks Suzuka one more time if "she wants to see the dream with him" (to join him)
Screen 3: seem to be about Shuten needing power and being close to something and about the Shikioni race...

Also already mentioned in his profile Shuten has a crush on Suzuka.
Shuten's profile explains some stuff(3rd and 4th lines) but I don't really get, seem to me that Suzuka bound to the Nanbu family caused Shuten's uprising actions.

Characters 3

posted May 25, 2008 11:53 PM by Alvin Chong [ updated May 25, 2008 11:56 PM ]

Ok, abit of pretty rough trans info on the two new chracters:

Dorothy Mistral:
The chief of the fort city "Esmeraruda Fort" in Elfe Tale. A dark elf.
[rough] She uses the crossgate to go to Lost Herencia to get parts?
Conducts many research and experiments, also a genius inventor with an over the top and haughty attitude.
[rough] (last line says something about hysteric character.)

Rubor Cucullus:
A wolfman born in Elfe Tale.
The chief of the "Ablieta City" that at southern Elfe Tale,
[v.rough] The surrounding monster army are lead by him?
A battle hungry character with an arrogant attitude.
(Can't get last line)

I think this 2 characters will be for maybe some Elfe Tale territory wars story arc?

======

Likes how the new PV cuts into the Perfume song.

Today's thoughts:
Harken's motive to travel, is it to find the true of his origins?
Finding Phantom, there was no time frame for manga chapter 1.
Going to/chasing/racing/battling Dune Polis, somehow going onto a pirate ship, teritory wars..etc
23 years...
Somehow all this stuff have to link (or maybe not).
A mastermind to all this?
The SM fallen ship brought the heroes, maybe it brought something bad too?

==May 17 2008, 12:39 PM

======

Was it stated anywhere that JyakiGunOh is a Choukijin?
The site calls it a "Senjitsu Karakuri" (War Machine?).

Of characters

posted May 25, 2008 11:52 PM by Alvin Chong

Regarding the Ashen and Harken, the sentence seem to say that they were picked up.
So theres a 3rd person? From Lost Harencia?

2 new characters!
I wonder how much stuff is revealed?
Maybe theres still an untouched 2nd half of the game?

I wonder who is the ruler of Kagura Amahara to pass down the surname Nanbu.
How much a chance that someone will get sucked back to OGverse?
Could Ezel be a Wodan prototype(or Wodan himself?)?

I was thinking maybe he got knocked out from the SMverse like Ashen and Harken.
Then later on he got sucked back to SMverse and reprogrammed or something.
Or if he is some Wodan prototype, he can stay, join your party or gets killed by your party.

Or he might just be a new character with no relation to SRW.
(but that speech pattern just makes me think..)

Telos and Saya.
Would there be a NxC route and a Xenosaga route?
Could the two be bosses for their story?

Now who could the real last boss be?
Well, should be some original guy with links to OGverse?
Or some guy from OGverse itself?

==May 14 2008, 08:04 PM, May 15 2008, 12:15 PM

Of Harken

posted May 25, 2008 11:47 PM by Alvin Chong

Now Ashen is clearly part of the early W-series.
Then who is Harken really?
Lemon's son? Another experiment?
Arkgain and Harken..

Will the audio cd bring spoilers or a hint?

Wild thoughts 2

posted May 25, 2008 11:43 PM by Alvin Chong

Ok, so now I have an impression that MnF is an original story built around "what happened to the missing SM crew".

EF seems to perfectly fine until the battleship came in.
Thats how the story starts as it appears to me in the comic.
23 years ago.

Maybe theres still an unrevealed original bad guy pulling the strings, making use Einst and SM andriods?
Got a feeling that there has to be the one bad guy, the last boss.
The pirates and cat guy don't seem so bad to me.
The Orchestra Army look pretty like one tier up to the above mentioned to me.

23 years.
Could those "Akuma" that came from Formula Heim be Einst?
Or an original bad guy army/race?
There are no characters for Formula Heim yet also.

Another point is what are KOS-MOS and the NxC originals purpose in the game.
Just plainly to add to your party?
Could the main bad guy be a crossover?

How much could the info revealed currently is?
The first quarter of the game? Half?

Hmm, waiting to see what kind of story will come up.

==Apr 26 2008, 03:00 AM

On the audio drama..etc

posted May 25, 2008 11:41 PM by Alvin Chong

I think the audio drama in the CD could be about the SM battleship.
What if the SM battleship met up with Einst, then both crash into Endless Frontier?

If so, SRWOG contributes to MnF that way.
I wonder does MnF contribute to SRWOG?

How about MnF2 where the Shura pass by while on their search for their new home or something?

At first when MnF is annouced I was excited but at the same time saw the possibility of buying another side game in the future ($$$ )

==Apr 26 2008, 12:37 AM

Maybe Harken and Ashen are in the cast because the drama will (possibly) link up to the happenings 23 years ago in Endless Frontier, possibly the crash of the SM battleship and Harken picking up Ashen.

The kanji that scrolls across seem to say that the drama contain the link of OG to MnF and it provides the title of the audio drama with I very roughly translate as "The place where the instance of infinity intersects".

==Apr 26 2008, 12:47 AM

On the OG elements

posted May 25, 2008 11:38 PM by Alvin Chong

What I think is that a battleship from SM verse crashed to Endless Frontier 23 years ago.
Thats for the SM elements.

The Einst elements, no idea yet.

Watching all this stuff makes me want to get the game.

Wild thoughts

posted May 25, 2008 11:36 PM by Alvin Chong

I was thinking maybe KOS-MOS dropped into EF a long time ago in a stasis form.
Then someone use her tech to create the W-series.
(In the spirit of SRW, like Astranagun)

Maybe that was crossing the line.

I wonder could there be mid-game upgrades?
Change in costume and equipment, new guns, swords, awakenings and getting a soul..etc
PT upgrade items.

And whats the purpose of the NxC party in the game?
Are they summoned?
