Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (30)

I believe this joke had become less effective due to the translation from Japanese to English, but I think it could have been handled better by the translators of the game. This scene made me laugh a little the first time, but it also had me wonder about how much time adventurers spend not bathing; it also had me wonder about how in most RPGs, which usually tell of a story that lasts very long, all the characters usually wear the same outfit every day. I know it's because
  • it's easier for the developers
  • it makes characters more recognizable
  • nobody really pays attention to it too much
But sometimes it makes the virtual world a lot less credible.

Not much else happening at Celine's house after the last time: Eglas talks with Claude about his journey and about his feelings towards Rena. He also regrets to inform Claude that all the houses on Expel don't have bathrooms, so he may have to go to lake Col in order to have one... not really, but it wouldn't be surprising for there not being any bathrooms on this undeveloped planet. There's probably just one toilet in the world though, and you might have seen it several posts ago.
