Yea, I'm wondering how that would work out. D: Wrapping games up too fast isn't so fun. I guess this is why they started the games story with "6 months later..." or something. Just to move things a little more forward.

Hm... this is how I understand it, it might not be very correct.

Fake Serph was the first ideal Serph that Sera created to overcome her lonliness. After her imaginary world was discovered, the data created was brought over to the Asura Project and either re-used to make AI Serph, or AI Serph was made from scratch. I personally think that the data was re-used, because AI Serph clearly had memories of the stuff in the imaginary world. Like 'ship', for instance.

Radiokill, you're back! <3

I'm wondering, what happened to Sera after those events? I'm pretty sure she came out of the EGG(due to her growth) after all the chaos(Ha, was she in a coma for 5 years?). Plus, Varna should of ate Sera...not Argilla. D:

Cosplay... :buh:

Oh, I know. I have nothing against cosplay but people using OTHER people in their avatars is just weird. Unless they ask or something...or if it's a friend. But if it's someone you don't know then yea, weird.

One reason I stopped using music artist and movie celebrities in my designs. D:

No, I'm talking about the link in her signature. I'm glad to see that she linked the site but I'm just saying, what if she didn't ask the artist for permission?

If I linked my site, right here in this thread, I have a tracker that tells me where I get all my hits from. If I check it, I'll get a link to this thread. That might be the issue with the link in her signature.

EDIT: Are their people using cosplay images in their avatars? Ok, I'm sorry. I find that really weird. x_x; Fanart I can see but pictures of other people??? What?

Yeah, but you can't really enforce it. You see signs -- "Don't walk on the grass" -- people will do it anyways.

*shrugs* I guess I can just call that person ignorant then. That's like seeing a button with a sign over it stating, "Don't press the button." Press it and get dropped into a trap full of sharks. Ok, that might be going too far but you see my point.

Tony, I'm going to use Nuu as an example. At first, I didn't like what she did. She used fan art in her avatar but seeing as how she credit the artist, I'm totally fine with that, like you said, if they have it in the sig or whatever.

The only thing I'm worried about is that even though it's a good thing that she linked the site, did she ask to use the art? Some sites have those trackers installed inside their counters so they can see where they're getting there hits...and if it points to this forum. D: Yea, I just don't want any commotion...

I don't know, read this? -> http://www3.to/ofp *shrugs* I guess because it was made by a "fan" and they see the image as theirs. The character, no but the image they created, yes. Sometimes I don't understand the rule myself but it's good to go by the rule. Do you ask the people to use their fan art in a layout? Avatar? Banner? Like the site says, asking is fine by them.

Also, a lot of times it makes it much easier for people to "claim" the art as their own. How well are fan artist really on the internet?

Let's take Kaneko for example. I can make a layout out of his art but simply can't say, "I DREW THIS CHARACTER!" A lot of people would be out to get me because well, I didn't draw it in the first place right? People KNOW Kaneko drew it.

Now let's take a fan artist who drew one of Kaneko's designs. I can take his/her art without asking, stick it on a layout, and easily claim it as my own art. I mean, who would know? The art was drawn by a fan not Kaneko so I can easily take my claim to that piece of art.

If you ask the person, it's fine. If you didn't, it's not fine. Seriously, if someone states, "Please don't reproduce my art." Then please be nice and not do it. Simple as that.

EDIT: And damn I'm late because Tony just gave you the answer.

I couldn't help it! It was the only thing on TV! XD *holds her head down in shame* SPIRIT FINGERS!

Current music: Weezer's "Make Believe" album and Depeche Mode's "Ultra" album.

Current movie: "American Pie 2"...Ha, Weezer's "Hash Pipe" is playing the the background. D:

They are the same person but it's just Sera's perspective on how she saw Serph. "Ok, so Serph is a nice guy so I think I'll make the Serph in my world a really nice guy too that I could fawn over." I'm assuming the same thing happened to them, like Sera, when they were entered into Junkyard. They're memories became fuzzy but they still built out new personalities(despite they are the same ones at the beach, they just didn't know that at first).

I think it's just a way to reflect on Serph considering he's being confronted by someone real(who Sera wasn't aware of) and someone fake(who Sera thought this person was). I don't know...now I'm getting confused. Then again, it's almost 1:30AM. D:

Yea well, I'm just wondering if we both confused the hell out of Nuu or not, haha.

Current movie: "Bring It On" D:

Current music: Linkin Park's "Hybrid Theory" album. Haven't listened to this in awhile...

*shrugs* That's exactly what I said...^^; It's just like Sera...she forced herself inside the Junkyard to help her friends but doing that caused her memory to be fuzzy.

Glad to see another FAQ up(especially for the US version)! Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see when it's fully finished!^^

Ok, this probably the most confusing part of the game that takes explaining...x_x;

Sera created an imaginary space in her mind which only she knew about. Serph, Argilla, Heat, and Cielo all existed there(you see them playing volleyball) but Beck and the others of course, find out about it. So when the Junkyard project(or Asura Stage 1 project if you like that better) was being put into process, Sera hid those AI(the one she's playing volleyball with) inside Junkyard so she wouldn't have to delete them.

Fake Serph would technically being AI Serph. You have to see that Sera saw real Serph as a kind person so that's how he thought he SHOULD be in her imaginary world. So when AI Serph and real Heat are confronted by the real Serph(who was actually evil) and fake Serph(who Sera wanted and thought the real Serph was like)...and yea. That's it. x_x;

Philemon, I'm not sure if they're reincarnated. Like I said, she hid those ones into Junkyard...so that's why they kept the same memories of going to the beach, her house, and everything with them still.

Real Serph -> Jerk though Sera is pretty much oblivious to this.

Fake Serph -> "Is he what Sera wants Serph to be like?" Correct.

AI Serph -> The one Sera hid along with the other AI's she created into Junkyard.

How is Romancing SaGa? I saw some of the gameplay videos and and it looked, different. Well, different from what I played. But I'm curious, how is the story? Characters?

Current Movie: Not Another Teen Movie <- freaking hilarious! "No, not Janey Briggs. She's got glasses. And a ponytail. Ugh, she's got paint on her overalls. What is that?"

Current Music: Weezer's Blue album. =P There's like, two or three good songs on it. "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here" being my favorite.

Current Game: Playing a little bit of US Digital Devil Saga 2~
