Sourenga Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Finally Arc Cops have taken story footage down from Youtube... But anyways, since you asked for it, I subbed Potemkin stuff and uploaded to my DailyMotion channel.

But anyways, since you asked for it, I subbed Potemkin stuff and uploaded to my DailyMotion channel. And the original uploader as well...I'm not surprised. Anywho, I'll watch that and I'll edit this post afterwords. EDIT: So Pot was stuck in Bedman's dream world for his arcade of the course of three days (essentially speaking). I guess plan Z is something involving Zepp, or perhaps...Mike Z? Lol Edited February 24, 2014 by HoudiniJr100
BladeOfJustice7 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Sourenga what happened to your dailymotion Xrd videos?
Tokkan Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Sourenga what happened to your dailymotion Xrd videos? Arc Cops got them. Likely reason they were found is because someone thought it was a good idea to make an article about them on SRK.

Tokkan Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 So, about that May ending... May: People are disappearing! What do I do? I have to save them. Ramlethal: Impossible. It has already begun. May: Then stop it! Ramlethal: That's also impossible. It has already ended. And now I no longer have meaning. Just like you who is Japanese. May: You said that again. What's a "Japanese"? Ramlethal: To us, it is a thing of some value. To you dolls, it is something akin to a strange disease. May: ...eh?
HoudiniJr100 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 ....so...she forgot her heritage....as a japanese. Or does this follow the ending in AC+ she never learned it?
Chaoschao222 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Don't link to Arcade runs. ArcCops hate that. You can mention if one's on YT, just don't have it be traceable back here Still a thing.
Appledash- Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 But Millia's final boss is zato? Sent from my RM-917_nam_usa_100 using Tapatalk
Sourenga Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) But Millia's final boss is zato? Yes, he is. And it's pretty much the same event as Zato's first event. Anyways, Faust's story subbed and the other stories have been re-uploaded. People should know where to find them... Edited March 1, 2014 by Sourenga
HoudiniJr100 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Watching the stories here's what I got Chipp: desperately wants attention. Also bragging about his speed to valentine, NOT A GOOD IDEA. May: Meets chipp so he can help her with ramethal (good guy chipp. Cares about friends, and helps you meet your goals) Faust: I...actually like Faust's story, for one he got himself a job as a doctor outside of the shadows, as well as learn why the senate offed the girl (because forbidden ressurection techniques I believe), ...also do vampires need cavity treatment? I mean...their vampires lol

On a more serious note, what kind of people disappear? Relevant characters or faceless mooks?

SoWL Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I can't really understand how exactly Faust's incident happened. If I'm not mistaken, here is a rough timeline: - Faust gets another patient - Since it seems to be impossible to treat her, Faust proposes the usage of resurrection, but that idea is shot down - He then still attempts to treat her, but Zato kills her and makes it seem like a mistake on Faust's part - Faust goes baldkers Now, why did step 3 even happen? Why did Faust attempt to treat the girl despite knowing that she's going to die anyways? Why did he go mad from her inevitable death? And why did Zato even have to kill her? The only explanation I can see is that Faust was going to resurrect her despite being told not to, but even then, why couldn't he do it after she, well, died? Isn't that a given when you want to resurrect someone?
HoudiniJr100 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 He was going to use the ressurection technique, but Zato (hired by the senate) had to kill her so they're technique wasn't out in the open/stolen
SoWL Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 There are a lot of weird phrasing in Faust's ending dialogue that makes me feel it's not that simple. By mentioning that the resurrection was "rejected" before even mentioning the Senate makes it seem like it was rejected by someone else (like other doctors working with Faust, or the girl's parents?). After giving some more thought, here's another timeline that more sense to me, even if some steps are based on speculation and ambiguous phrasing. 1. Faust gets another patient 2. He proposes the usage of resurrection (either publicly or in a small circle of doctors/relatives - the point is, he couldn't keep this plan sitting in his head alone) and sees no reason not to use it 3. The Senate gets wind of it and hires Zato to kill the girl 4. The girl dies during the operation, but before the resurrection technique is used, meaning that it stays hidden from general public 5. Instead of trying to resurrect her again, Faust thinks that her death is on his hands, and goes baldkers The questionable points here are the timeline of step 4 (unless they retconned the "Madness from guilt" part of Faust's backstory, the death must've happened during his operation) and the nature of the resurrection technique. It shouldn't be surprising that we don't know much about it yet, since it's probably going to be expanded upon in the later games, but for now, it seems like you can't use it under certain conditions. It could be because of Zato's assassination technique (that shadow devour from his IK?), it might be because the resurrection must take place not too late after the patient's death, or it simply requires some complicated ritual that makes it impossible to use on demand (for instance, if the patient dies unexpectedly).
Master Of Chaos Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Zato was hired to kill Faust to keep him quiet, not the girl. The girl died because Faust's request for the resurrection technique was denied.
Calamitus Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Intricate story indeed. My understanding of his Xrd story and #R story path 3: 1. Faust proposes to use the Rebirth Technique which will save his patient life. (maybe he does not knows that this tecnique actually can ressurect from the dead) 2. the Senate learns about it and uses one of Faust's colleagues to hire the Guild and deal with Faust ("it was rejected" means that the Senate could not allow this to happen) 3. Somehow Zato (or someone else by his command) murders girl under the guise of a medical mishap. 4. Faust thinks that his Rebirth Tecnhique killed her and goes mad (so he will not ever use "failed" technique again) 5. Bald guy with scalpel appears on scene. It's havoc time! Also, i have feeling that P.W.A.B IS the Senate after watching his #R story.

Also, i have feeling that P.W.A.B IS the Senate after watching his #R story. Sounds pretty solid. I also totally forgot about the colleague deal. Zato was hired to kill Faust to keep him quiet, not the girl. The girl died because Faust's request for the resurrection technique was denied. That's what the Xrd ending implies, but that contradicts the XX ending. Even though PWAB has pretty much been replaced by Senate now, I don't think this ending is non-canon, if only because Ishiwatari was still writing the XX story (unlike Slash or AC).
Blade Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) In Faust's PWAB Report, they say "He reminds them of a little project they were working on"... I don't suppose this "project" is the "Resurrection Technique" he wanted to try? Figure, PWAB > Works for United Nations > Senato is within the U.N. = PWAB works for Senato. It makes even more sense when you consider Zato was the very person they used the technique on... they used the very idea Faust wanted to try in the first place on the man who was supposed to kill him. AND IT MAKES EVEN MORE SENSE when you realize Testament (the only known Gear to come out of PWAB's projects) was the guy who freed Zato and Faust in the original Guilty Gear!! Senato let Testament run the show! He was being used to get access to Justice! They let Testament have access to their prisoners, Faust and Zato... that's the only way he could probably get away with holding a Sacred Order selection tournament. Edited March 5, 2014 by Blade
SoWL Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 All those connections are nice and all, but they don't really "make sense" other than as narrative tools (and I don't feel like Ishiwatari was writing the plot this far ahead). I mean, it sounds more like a bunch of coincidences than the conscious decision on PWAB/Senate's part ("We'll use his technique on his worst enemy, just to show him not to mess with us! Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha!"). And I'm still not sure why people think Zato was going to kill Faust and not his patient.
Blade Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Faust was a famous surgeon to begin with, the Assassins Organization wanted to recruit him even before he became a murdering psychopath. So he was highly skilled even beforehand. The girl wasn't a big deal, dragging Faust into the mire was the idea, since he had political clout back then.

I assume about the first part, you mean as their personal doctor. As for the second it is quite interesting how they did it.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 No one has translated the new character profiles on the Xrd website eh? Apart from Sol that is.
Blade Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I assume about the first part, you mean as their personal doctor. As for the second it is quite interesting how they did it. That's part of it (being their doctor I mean) but also he was highly skilled in other ways too, since info states he came from China... so likely he knows a bit about Ki and the Orient, Martial arts, etc. So they wanted an Assassin Doctor to be more precise. @BladeofJustice: Suzaku summed up everybody's info in that paragraph he wrote, so there isn't much in the way that's new other than Chipp's info about him starting up Chipp Country (yes, CHIPP COUNTRY I will not repeat this).
