Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (254)

See, even Claude admits this vision makes no sense at all.

The vision goes on by showing a sequence of dialogues between Claude and his father: taken with weird camera angles, the scene has an angry Claude shouting at the back of Ronixis, all this on a black background. Claude basically complains about his father not considering him, to which the commodore replies (at least I think HE does, it could be someone else, even Claude himself) along the lines of 'Is it really like that?'.

Taken by despair, Claude plugs his ears and kneels down, while the vision ends by transforming the black background into a shot of Arlia. About this last image, I'm not sure if it depends on which Claude's best relationship is, or if it's Arlia because that's where his journey began. However, this is probably the strangest scene in the whole game (there are worse JRPGs in that regard): the rest of the game is just bad dialogue (or bad translation, I don't know).
