I am so very bad at all things Space Invadery and therefore I must now apologize to what'serface because she will never get upgraded. Because I'll never progress in Tiger Tiger. (Meanwhile, it took me 2 days to figure out that tiger==tora, derp derp derp.)

Ha! The update will help filthy casuals like me. Robot girl is go! (The other alternative was paying my Eldest Child with cash money to rack up some scores for me. I have no shame.)

NullNoMore -- I guess now it won't be so rude of me to share my high scores, then. "Perfect" bonus score runs on all five stages; at first I wasn't sure I could do it for stage 5, but since it's randomized a bit I actually got it in a handful of attempts. Also, "Space Invaders"? That's like ten years off...it's kinda fashioned on early/lesser 16-bit hardware (like the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine).

Noice scores, very nice, even Eldest would be proud of those. Gaming stopped for me around 1980 and didn't resume until this century, so I use what names remain in my aging brain. Now if it had been Breakout like ....

To tell the truth I wondered if you were younger. I suppose kids these days would more likely compare it to Minecraft. I was out walking the dog one day and a kid about six or seven years old asked me if that's what it was on my Mega Man T-shirt, lol.

Whew, just finished chapter two. The cutscenes in this game are truly amazing. So full of charm, and the action is top-notch too! I loved the little ending scene where Tora was ruining Rex's speech to Nia and Rex just pushed him out of the way. XD
And again, THE MYSTERIES! So many unexplained things that I can't wait to fine out. The Inquisitor girl (I forget her name) mentioned that Pyra had destroyed three titans around 500 years ago... And Pyra didn't want to share where her powers came from when Tora asked... Seems like she has some secrets!

I loved the little ending scene where Tora was ruining Rex's speech to Nia and Rex just pushed him out of the way. XD The cutscenes are great and I love all the characters, which is a rare thing. I also think this game has the best story pacing of all of Takahashi-san's work. And again, THE MYSTERIES! So many unexplained things that I can't wait to fine out. The Inquisitor girl (I forget her name) mentioned that Pyra had destroyed three titans around 500 years ago... And Pyra didn't want to share where her powers came from when Tora asked... Seems like she has some secrets! If you continue to share your questions as you go, I can edit them into the OP like your threads for XCX.

I’m kinda shocked that Rex hasn’t just up and asked Pyra about all this “destroyed the world” stuff, or hell what the Aegis even is. I mean he showed in the dinner scene at Tora’s House that he respects her privacy about it, but this was before Morag told them that the Aegis was responsible for massive destruction. You’d think someone would’ve asked her by now. And how much does Gramps know?
I gotta say though, I loved Pyra’s comment about how she wouldn’t stab Rex in the back...because she doesn’t have a knife XD. It’s even funnier since Rex already was literally stabbed through the back by Jin.

Common theme in fiction. Characters don't ask the obviously important s*** because plot.
