Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (337)

I wonder why he's mad at that, though. Maybe Vern Vern has already kicked him in the face.

The old man tells Claude and the others to just close their eyes and relax; shortly after doing so, poof! Our heroes find themselves in Arlia! Thanks to this extremely sophisticated virtual reality technique, everything looks and feels real. Everything on Expel, which has been reconstructed from their memories is exactly like they remember it before going to Eluria (except some slight rockhopper penguin inside who goes 'pigya' (Evangelion reference?). This penguin, named Vern Vern (I suspect it's not a good translation of the name, but whatever), is here for a reason: if Claude tries to talk to it, you're given the option of making him say 'You silly Vern Vern' for some weird reason, and this would make the penguin so mad that it'd run around in rage, dash at Claude, and tackle him towards the game screen, thus interrupting the VR simulation. It's basically a way to return to Nede. The other difference is that now the 'lovey-dovey newlywed couple' has a son.
