Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (1)

I thought about playing an old Playstation game, a JRPG called 'Star Ocean: the Second Story', and posting some screens I thought were funny, as in generally odd-sounding or out of place.

The game was released in 1998 and has been recently remade for the PSP. When I played it back then I had a decent understanding of the English language: the game being from Enix though meant I was in for a whole lot of 'unusual' words (I learned the word 'blimey' thanks to this game!).

The character selection screen (your choice makes you go through the story with a slightly different point of view)

I didn't really understand what 'A typical 19 year old' meant: since the game was set in a futuristic world with intergalactic spaceships, how was I supposed to know how a typical 19 year old would be like? Finally I resolved that was a knock at contemporary culture, and I guess that was it, but being my culture a bit different from the American one (or the Japanese one for that matter), I sort of struggled to understand some parts of the game.

Luckily the game itself was a lot of fun to play, over and over.
