Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (56)

How could she know 'that look' when Opera's got three eyes?! Oh well, never doubt an old maid, as after all she's not far from the truth.

The group has crossed the sea again and has made its way back to Cross town, where Opera has probably gone to. Unfortunately they don't find her at the tavern, so they decide to ask help from the king, who promptly tells of his audience with the three-eyed lady: it seems she has taken off after the other three-eyed guy, who went to some ruins near lake Col some time ago. Upon Claude and Rena's request to get access to those ruins, not only does the generous king give them his authorization, he even gives you more travel money! If only the king of Lacour were half as good as him (you may find out later on).

Lake Col is about halfway between Cross castle and the now destroyed Clik, and the ruins are inside the mountains. You know, looking back now, planet Expel seems so empty at a first glance: it's only when you start thinking a bit about your characters' travels that it slowly starts filling up with life and places. You should try this with any old adventure game that sports very few details of the environments, it really adds to the experience.
