Is it just me, or does this sound a bit too ridiculous to be funny? Although now I get why this girl gets so much attention in town: it's neither because of her machine-geekyness nor for her temperament, but because of this house here. Yeah, the only existing Japanese old-style house on Expel.So Precis gets Claude to her home to make him see the rest of her stuff, but not before asking him two very important questions: his age (if you recall, he's 19), and whether the blue-haired girl with him is his girlfriend (I guess the blue hair hate has spread throughout all the planet, it's not just me). Once she's made sure Claude is 'approachable' and 'available', Precis walks him into her home, only to find her father chatting with Rena inside.
After a rather unremarkable scene of misunderstandings and general embarassment (even that of the player), everyone joins at the table to talk about machines. Oh, about that, I don't really understand this fascination about geeky girls with robotic equipment like Precis, but I know that, about a year after Star Ocean 2 was released, another game sporting a girl much like her came out in Japan: I'm talking about the character of Area in 'Street Fighter Ex2 plus Alpha' (arcade and Playstation, 1999), who wears similar clothes and carries some robot arm to attack (but she uses rollerskates).
