Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (211)

Rena: It's not my fault if you're too quick, Claude.

Seeing as everyone is done with their stroll about North City, our friends meet up at the Home: the researched named Artis welcomes them and briefly explains the situation. The Home is a sort of biological research facility where they 'produce' Synards; this makes it easier to use them as transportation, since you only need to input genetic data of the owner into them to make them obey unconditionally... What the... Couldn't this have been more complicated? Aside from the ethical issues concerning this kind of artificial procedure (which Claude doesn't fail to notice), do we have to resort to this stuff on one of the most advanced planets in the universe? Can't we use a private jet or something? This is too stupid to be true...

Anyway, at least the 'inputting' process isn't hard or painful, as Claude and Rena only need to stand in a room and relax for mere seconds. Incidentally, the other characters don't need to do that, probably because they're optional for the party (remember you can go through the game with just the main couple), and they didn't bother thinking about a fitting cutscene mechanic.
