Funny Bits in Star Ocean 2 (286)

What does NFID stand for? Somebody please fill me in.

Before the group leaves Dr. Mirage to her job, she says she's got a present for them by Narl: a free pass to Fun City! Claude and the others (well, except the kids... You know, Leon and Precis) seem rather puzzled by this gift, because, conscious as they are about their mission, they feel it wouldn't be right for them to be enjoying themselves. Dr.Mirage however says, that they wouldn't exactly have fun there; apparently the mayor of Central City has some plans in store for them (and he's beeing as secretive as usual about them).

We haven't been to Fun City yet, but that's because I'm a cheapskate: you need to pay an entrance fee for all the characters in your group. Fun City is an entire town devoted to the entertainment of Nedians, a large amusement park containing various attractions. My guess is that it was inspired by the Gold Saucer in Final Fantasy VII, seeing as there's even a race track (no, not with Chocobos, sorry); all in all, most of the stuff you can do in here doesn't compare to the Gold Saucer, but the Battle Arena deserves a special mention for having variety in battle modes and many good prizes.
