Part 55: Episode 55: The Final Battle Approaches!

Episode 55: The Final Battle Approaches!

Goodness! It seems like we’re getting really close to the end of this.
Yeah, I’m kind of sad this is all going to be over soon.
But at least Gamindustri will be peaceful again.
Yeah, you’re right.

Video- “Party”

All that remains is…
We just gotta beat the final boss!
Has our foe made any movements?
Though the progress is slow, she has gradually merged with the graveyard.
At this point, a majority of the Gamindustri Graveyard has become part of the Deity of Sin’s body.
It basically means stepping onto the ground where she lives is like putting your foot on her back.
We can’t afford to be too cautious now.
My sister’s right. Dangerous or not, we gotta get it done!
Everyone…

Still, we won’t have any reason to all travel together after this is all done.



What? Tomorrow? I’m too pumped to sleep!
Same here. I’m in the mood to kick butt!
If we don’t sleep, we’ll suffer from sleep deprivation and won’t be able to do our best.
I got the perfect solution!
If ya can’t sleep, play games! Once you let all your stress out, you can crash like a sack of potatoes!
Is that so? Neptune had a decent idea.

Silly! Why wouldn’t we?
What?



No, party games are the basic multiplayer titles. If you want to play with friends, Lowee’s console is best.
I don’t want that. Your games are only good for shaking suggestively-shaped controllers. It tires my arms.
What?
If you want the best, highest-selling party games, you mustn’t dismiss Leanbox’s exclusive, Each Party.
A famous manga artist designed its characters, so it must be good…
You’re kidding, right? Even if the art is good, what’s the point if the console is just a giant red ring?
Compared to your so-called best, Lastation’s games play beyond AAA.
We have plenty of group-centric games. Look, we can use the internet and play with people from all over Gamindustri.
Copycat.
That’s right! Leanbox was the very first to pioneer online console gaming. Sorry Neptune, but we did it better.
Lowee was the first to use motion controls. You copied us. You’re all phonies.
Silence! I’ll tell you this- Our network is free of charge. Free!
We are nothing like other companies whose online services are shoddy, charge a lot of money, and are buggy.
Besides, weren’t you aware that most titles coming out of Lowee with tacked on controls are known as ‘shovelware’?
Lastation only does everything. We have a long, bright future.
You snobby bitch! Say it again to my face and I’ll rip your tongue out!
Whoa, whoa, calm down ladies. Why not just use my console?
You’ve disrespected my nation for the last time. This calls for a CPU war!
* yells, screams, hair-pulling, etc. *

I mean, we’re friends, right?



This is a hunting game. I have a group of friends who I get together with and hunt a bunch of really big monsters.
I think you had something similar. Some online game where everyone had beam swords in outer space or something.
Oh yeah, I remember. Sounds fun.
Are you interested or something? F-Fine I guess I can stomach playing with you for a while.
Really? Thank you so much! Rom, Ram, why don’t you play with us?
Um, okay.
Fine, but only because you begged.
What other games are popular in Lastation, Uni?
There’s this one where you’re trying to get some Barcana gem with lots of magical power. It’s a hunting game, too.
Lowee’s best games are easily the ones in the Pocketed Monstrosities franchise. You catch and raise 1,510,376 monsters.
Oh, yeah. I was playing it earlier and I captured the Eebee monster.

O-Of course. I guess you’re right, I’m just being silly.



I’ll give you its parents later. They’re both fourth generation, so you’ll probably get one from them.
Whoa, sweet! I love you, Rom!
What’s cool in Planeptune?
It’s a bit old, but I really liked our one game with a massive 60 million credit budget. It was really amazing.
My favorite parts were operating a forklift and using my allowance to get things from vending machines.
Uh-huh… I didn’t know you were hardcore enough to dig out the classics.
* yells, screams, hair-pulling, etc. *
They’re still arguing over consoles.
We only have one television screen. Maybe we can use rock-paper-scissors to decide who can use it.
Jeez, they don’t have to take criticism of their consoles so seriously.
You know what, though? We can relax like this before our final battle because of those consoles.
You’re right. Game systems bring people together, and even arguing over which one to play is better than nothing.
We have to work hard and make sure days like this can happen forever.

Friends don’t need an excuse to hang out!



Indeed, but they all seem so happy.
Purple Disc: You’re smiling, yourself.
Green Disc: Definitely. Just a few minutes ago, you looked like you were going to cry.
I decided to stop imagining the worst. Now I only wish to believe in them.
White Disc: You’re right. They can do it.
Black Disc: This is boring for us, though. If they had trouble, it means I could give them my powers once again.
Hehe. I apologize for that.
Green Disc: No need to apologize. Someone’s just a tad stubborn.
White Disc: Why don’t we follow their example and spend time talking about our favorite things?
Purple Disc: We could never discuss everything in just a day or two.
I agree. I hope we are able to rest.
