At last there is no cliffhanger, and that made my day  :grimm
Awsome chapter, I love every Zeal dialogue, such a badass character.

I kind of angry thought, you have to skip some video for sidequest before final showdown  :x Oh well, I will live with it.
How many video will be taken to show all sidequest before the finale?

1AD! Hurrah. Great chapter, the dialogue here was some of the best--look at Gaspar, what a beast.

Apologies if this has been asked before (don't want to read 50+ posts to know) but are we going to see all of the "secret" endings to the game?

Also, will we see the regular ending with all the side-quests unfulfilled, as well as the fulfilled side-quests?

Apparently, by some really lucky glitch, I got the "all sidequests fulfilled-use the Anti Annihilation Energy Agitator" by just using the Anti-Annihilation Energy Agitator. I can't be exactly sure now, but I think it happened like this:

Step 1: The 98% beta had a pre-existing glitch (just a flipped conditional or something in the game code probably) whereby all you had to do to get the expanded ending was to use the AAEA (whereas it should be AAEA+Fulfill all sidequests). This would have been fixed in the final build after the CE team examined the video and realized the error.

Step 2: FW recorded the final dungeon starting with the supposition that the AAEA was used, but FW hadn't completed all sidequests (the bartering and museum would have been edited in later after conferring with the CE team on what to do exactly -- I was pretty much figuring out everything in isolation, which is why this isn't as streamlined as it could have been I guess...like getting completely lost in the prehistoric forest maze).

Step 3: FW dumped the final dungeon video and realized that .ZMV corruption had claimed the first segment of the dungeon, and re-recorded and spliced it together with the previously recorded footage. In the footage that made it in, FW chose to go straight for the Time Egg and shatter it, but because the footage thereafter came from gameplay in which the AAEA was used, FW got the expanded ending.

Ironically, the only ending that I didn't catch of the endings that were coded for the 98% build was the non-expanded ending. Go figure.

Haven't counted the sidequests, but it's probably like 5 or 6 videos. Yes, we'll see all the secret endings and the special scenes you get if you win a GalaxyCard at the Choras casino.

I'll be sure to annotate the non-expanded difference. (It's very minor.)

Okay.  I hope you have an ending where the Kingdom of Zeal survives.

I always hated how in CT, whenever you defeat Lavos at the Ocean Palace the first time around, how the game gipes you by giving you the Developer's Ending as a cheap copout.  They already give you that for winning the game early, so it's not fair they did it a second time- I wanted to save Schala and Zeal not see all the Developers again!   :x

Yeah but, the developer's ending is precisely winning the Ocean Palace fight.

The gate at the Telepod is New Game + only.

However, I do agree that the Ocean Palace battle doesn't deserve that ending if you win. Just like how there is a reptite ending, there should have been a Zealian ending too.

One more question to the creators- why is it that when you side with the Mystics earlier in that battle, and you travel to the present and they love you, that they still side with Porre?

Also, would siding with Porre change their whole invasion of Guardia?

They sympathize with Porre because Porre's grievances are legitimate. However, like General Montcrief, they didn't really want to slaughter Guardia and Truce. The attackers were the Black Wind units led by Porre High Command (Dalton) and the medieval Mystics from Kasmir's Fortress.

Just letting everyone know that the videos are out, Z just has not updated the main page yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zguGPMPbrCg&feature=PlayList&p=E952926C2A6E7039&index=69

There's a link to anyone who is eager and can't wait for Zeality to do the same thing on the news page >_>

The web page already updated, Miki.

I happy that all the ending will be showed, and so many video to be watch. Now for my different approaches.....

Let us watch until get retarded ~~ :o ~~

Holy crap....  That was phenomenal...  I love that final dungeon.  the atmosphere of the whole thing was amazing.  I am glad this will finally be over tomorrow.  Not for the reasons you think though.  I'm not sick of the video's or anything.  I am just tired of being left on cliff hangers, or just being abruptly put to a halt by the video just stopping.  I want some closure.  I want that screen to go black, The End to come up, and the video to end.  That will be when I am complete.  I will then proceed to watch the whole thing, beginning to end.  This has truly been a masterpiece, and I thank all of you for sharing it with us.  Tomorrow is going to be a fantastic day.

And so the end of the playthrough is drawing near.  :(
While I'm a member of the CE team, I've enjoyed the commentary.
