Will You Defeat Them, Your Demons?

Well, the Wild ARMs 2 campaign is proceeding quite well.  It's been a fun ride so far, and it still hasn't really let up yet.


The story has come fairly close to the climax, with the Big Bad Evil Guy and his minion now utterly crushed.  But we've got plenty of disc space to fill, so we have a big nasty impeding nuclear holocaust to deal with.  There was a fair bit of buildup, with the baddos making off with a forbidden nuclear weapon and the diplomatic scene going fairly berserk.


SPOILER ALERT:  The 'nuclear weapon' isn't missile or bomb or even a rigged bit of fissile material.  They went to great lengths to disguise it for the reveal, but my intel has uncovered that its a damn nuclear-breathing dragon, and it's gonna rampage and burninate the earth Godzilla-style.  The extra crazy awesome is that there is a second nuclear dragon out there and you get to use as an air vehicle.  That's right, the game that gives you a flying mansion as an airship decided to give you a frickin' nuclear-powered avatar of flashy death.  I love this stuff.  END SPOILERS


The main character has finally figured out that the whole having a demon inside you to give you powers is kinda messed up, and we'll see whether or not we get any angst.  My money's on a big no, followed by more gunslinging antics and quasi-sentai transformations and theme overrides.  We shall see.  The Harvest Never Rests!
