Wait what?

Also, I'd like to know what the BGM would be for the Reisen vs Statue battle in Imagination Land is if it isn't too much trouble.

Giving up the Gems comes to mind, actually, though it wasn't an obvious, or maybe even wise, 'choice.'

Given some of the things Purvis hinted at to me (this was mostly post-ImaginationLand btw), that wasn't it.

Score.

> So what was the one simple action we could have taken in ImaginationLand that would have brought us out of it immediately? I've been thinking on everything you've told me and I'm still stumped.

>You did.
>There was no action that would have solved everything from the outset. Reisen had not been drawn into that by her own will. But, pondering why she had been drawn in there would have gone a long way toward not almost getting defeated ffrom the beginning. Instead, people just sort of panicked and tried things blindly.

Wait what?

Also, I'd like to know what the BGM would be for the Reisen vs Statue battle in Imagination Land is if it isn't too much trouble.

>Analysis of an unusual situation is a good idea.
>Reisen vs The Statue: Here comes the Climax!

>What were the physics of imagination land?
>BGM for each apparation battle
>BGM for each gem found
>BGM for courting Eiren
>BGM for gunwinking

I'm sure I'll remember more later.

>Essentially, the battle was either in Reisen's mind, the statue's mind, or in the gems connecting them. Withing Reisen's Mind, she could affect herself as she wanted, or the world. However, she could have only a limited effect upon the Statue directly, depending on how strong her position was (that is, how much of herself and her world was intact). On the moons; that is within the gems, the two were roughly on equal footing. Reisen could affect herself to a large degree, the world to a very limited one (mostly just making extensions of herself). The Statue, having no real imagination, fought as it would have in reality, but better. Within the Statue's mind, Reisen's abilities were limited, but she could still affect it in ways it did not anticipate being affected.

>Apparition's Theme: Lurking in Broad Daylight
>Gem Theme: Got the Treasure!
>Courting Eirin: Baby Steps
>Gunwink Theme: Lock'd, Load'd

>Had you been defeated, you would have lost the gems.

>Yes.

Oh yeah.

> What was our completion percentage?

Given some of the things Purvis hinted at to me (this was mostly post-ImaginationLand btw), that wasn't it.

>One hundred hojillion percent.

It was my first Z-Machine Adventure I read, Purv you're da man! I'll read every Z-Machine you write after this. So what about that Sanae and Daiyosei's Epic Beer Adven--

I'm also curious about the Turkish version.

>Yes. It would have been very difficult to pull off without distracting the gods, and challenging if you had. But it would have been doable. Taking on Yorihime straight up without the gems, though, would have been the closest thing to a plot battle in any of these quests.
>You would have had to fight it the hard way. The gems would have been its vulnerable point, and would have almost certainly been destroyed in the process.

>I had foreseen four ways that could have been resolved. The first is the old fashioned way; beating it up and making it expend itself until it could no long wrestle you for the gems. The second and third are related; Reisen integrating herself into its mind, or absorbing it into hers. The former would have caused Reisen to awaken in its body, and her own to go comatose, while the latter would have made her wake up and the statute to start to fall apart. In either case, she would then have to deal with a somewhat schizophrenic destructive impulse until the situation could be rectified. The last solution would have been for Reisen to try make herself grow gigantic from her world and physically grab the moons; that is completely ignore the attacks and go directly for the prize. This would have lead to a sort of stalemate between the two of them, both waking, and shared control of the gems.
