Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (209)

I suppose this episode would be morally unacceptable, and exposure to children could be bad, so at least they put in this little disclaimer. But since there's no narration in the whole game, this line sounds really out of place.

In the end, Rena went on and 'initialized all data'; regardless of the odd wording, you can guess what happened. The funny part is that, while the library database was being wiped out, you could hear all sorts of bleeping and exploding sound effects, like those of a pinball table gone crazy (I wonder who programmed it). Of course Rena didn't realize what she'd done, but she could tell something was wrong: seeing as the accessing program wouldn't 'go back', she paniched and silently ran off before the librarian found out what had happened. You would have done the exact same thing, wouldn't you have? After all, technically, it wasn't really Rena's fault that she could access such a dangerous function of a freely accessible program.


Now Claude is a witness of the whole scene, but he decides not to reveal anything and runs away. Later on, he finds Rena at the inn, still a little flustered by the incident. The library database won't be available for a while (I think we now know why the database terminal was used only by the librarian).
