Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (35)

I'm with Rena this time: Lacour Castle is so exciting... !
This isn't the only place in the game where translators show their punctuation prowess, but I must say nothing can possibly beat their capitalisation mastery.
It's a pity that the player cannot see what Rena and Celine are seeing right now, s/he could get even more excited.

Our heroes finally set foot out of Hilton and start strolling around the (pretty barren) fields of the new continent. However, since there's only three places you can go to from here (Lacour Castle, Linga and a military outpost), and since you can't do much anywhere but in the castle, we'll just go to the king straight away. It's a long way to Lacour Castle, but it's worth the trip: there are stronger enemies around on this land, which means more experience for us!

Unfortunately, getting to talk with the king of Lacour seems harder than we thought: first of all, Claude basically has to drag Rena and Celine away from their excitement (seriously, they look like they've never been out of the country, although there's nothing wrong with that); then there's this Tournament of Arms taking place at the castle, so there's a lot of confusion. Add in the fact that neither Rena nor Celine know anyone from here, and we can forget how easily we could get around in Cross. How's that, about Cross, you ask? I'll sum it up here: Rena knows the king of Cross since she was little, and Celine has some relationship with the prince; the latter you can only find out by going through certain Private Actions, to which we won't have access.
