Maniac
Ranma FFO Survivor : Dias
Flac
|
While I'm here, why don't I expand on
what Terra Lockeheart (Who is one of the greatest people on
the face of the earth for going along with my hentai
craziness) was saying about the amount of love between
Dias/Rena.
Dias is an awesome character to get, but
because of that he's one of the harder to get. Not so hard as
Ashton or Opera, but hard in the fact that to get him on your
team you must choose Rena as your main
character. If you choose Claude Dias will still play a very
important role in the story but he won't show up much after
half-way thru. (Spadstein, Terra Lockeheart, and Maniac Ranma
all grin since they know why)
Now, for the love. SO2
is amazing in that there are 84 variations of the ending to
get. Problem is that this game is longer than even FF7 and
that to beat the final bosses you'll need levels as high as
150 to 255. That isn't easy so don't try and get all 84
variations (because the games been out for years and I still
don't think anyone's gotten it.) There is a relation system in
the game that allows you to 'pair up' your characters. If you
pair up a guy and a girl, they have a romantic ending
together. If it's a same sex coupling they become friends.
(Sniff, no Rena and Celine *Gets clobbered by all remaining
survivors*)
But all characters are already
pre-disposed towards someone. Rena is pre-disposed towards the
Claude, the male-lead of the story. Why have I trashed on
Claude who is one of the best fighters in the game? Because
he's whiny and he doesn't have any real romantic interest in
Rena. But if you give Claude enough negative reactions then
he'll give up on Rena and in the 'private actions' you can
possibly get him hooked up with someone else. So if you want
to have the full story about Dias here's how you do it:
First, choose Rena as your main character.
Next, whenever you are given the option to say
something to Claude, be as rude as possible. (The taking Tifa
on a date method)
Now, when you first get Dias it's
imperitive that you agree with him on everything. He'll leave
but don't worry, he'll be back.
In the arms
tournament, be rude to Claude and don't talk to him at all if
you can help it. Talk to Dias all of the time.
Obviously when you are given the option later on to
have Dias join your party, do so.
Optional: Only if
you aren't sure if Claude is completly given up on Rena. Take
Claude out of your battle roster and put Dias in his 'exact'
place. I recommend being mean to Claude instead since it's
guarenteed and Claude is someone you're going to want in your
roster. Regardless, though, move Rena to one end of the battle
roster and put Dias beside her. Put Claude at the oppisite
end. Make sure Dias is between Claude and Rena.
Now go
back to EVERYTOWN in the game. This is quite a trip since you
won't have an airship at this point. Do several private
actions at each town. Be nice to Dias. Be mean to Claude.
Now for the rest of the game just be nice to Dias and
apathetic or mean to Claude. He'll think he loves you for the
entire game (It's scripted like that) but in the end you'll
get the full story on Dias, how he has always loved Rena and
they'll end up together at the end.
Yes, this was an
overkill method, but as long as you follow the majority of the
instructions you'll get to see Dias in a whole new light.
And that's how you get the best ending of SO2 in a
nutshell with surprisingly few spoilers!

What I've
learned in Survivor Today:
1)The battle with
the Time Devourer from Chrono Cross is alot more
interesting when it's being fought in survivor
2)SO2's Dias Flac makes a good replacement for
The Slayers Gourry Gabriev.
