Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (162)

*hugs*
I find it funny that 'Big Brother' is capitalized though, it sounds a bit orwellian this way.

Claude and the others have a talk with the elder, who, being wise as it's expected from an elder, already desumed that the situation was bad even before they revealed their defeat. Some other refugees show disbelief at this news, but they show even more of that when Claude suddenly proposes to let him and his friends go and defeat the demons by themselves. Talking with the elder (who I don't think has a name, but it's not like he's important anyway), we discover that Eluria, the capital city of El, was hit by the Sorcery Globe, and later, little by little, demons started gathering there: they city was transformed into a monster den, and demons spread throughout the continent and beyond. It's only a matter of time before they find this hideout, so time is of essence. Despite Claude's offer sounding preposterous, everyone's convinced that something must be done.

We also learn from the elder that no other survivors were found so far, therefore Leon is by himself; at first Claude decides to leave the kid with the refugees, in hopes that his parents turn around later, but then a though choice is prompted onto you, the player (probably because Leon looked at Claude with weepy eyes or something). As you can see, I opted to get Leon into the party, but you don't have to, just know you won't see him ever again.
