This the most boring mission (let along mission pack) I have ever.....ever...and will ever play.

Thank god I stuck to the "hard" difficulty!
Otherwise I would have failed when I BJ-ed the loud mouth cook (with the female mechanist fighter dialog yet! yeah, THAT makes sense! NOT!), and when I picked her up to hide her (as I then thought )
unconscious body, I see I have a "
corpse" on my hands! :erm:
Damn, musta got the turbo charged BJ from Cutty by mistake! :o :erg:
Well, I am still struggling thru this thing, thank god for the walkthru!
If it were'nt for the walkthru I would have already taken this odd little Japanese made fish (Koi?) and put in down in the middle of Tokyo and gone "Oh Godzilla, come here a moment please!" :eek: ;) :laff:
At least it does provide some fun moments, like this:

When I made that Koi allusion, it should have been FrankenKoi! :weird:
Bizarre lil bits of EVERYTHING in this one! :erm:
Well, sorry, but I got to say:
If this FM is representative of those from our Japanese taffing brethren, then I shall endeavor to ensure that I NEVER PLAY ANOTHER ONE!
Sorry JIS, but this thing is a mish mash of insensible plot and was not even fully translated. It also had incongrous "Garrett bytes" - Garrett dialog that made NO sense whatsoever for the current situ!
(IE: pushing a button and getting a remark about "not being a mech,being Garrett" = HUH? Garrett saying "don't mind me ladies, just passing thru" when about to go up on an elevator and is ALL ALONE!) those amongst a few others!
I used the walkthru more than I ever have on this one, and glad for it. Tho in hindsight, it did'nt matter because without it I would have just quit this one early on, and saved myself the time spent on the lack of Thief satisfaction.
btw - I know who killed JIS! Had to be a player who attempted this one without the walkthru! :eek: :cheeky: :laff:

It certainly has a unique feel to it, interesting how JIS used the same editing tools as everyone else and came up with something so different.

Having watched a few Japanese horror films and a good bit of "Anime", I can tell you that it is just that JIS approached the design of this one from a cultural viewpoint, so of course it was very diff than anything that will be made by us Americans, or western europeans, or eastern europeans, or central europeans.
But the problem with this one is just that, JIS did'nt take into account the fact that it needs a few areas of tweaking in order to be more sensible to non Japanese!
(full translation of all readables would def help too!)
As it is now, none of the objectives really make any sense and that adds to the haphazard feeling of the "plot"!

GS, to understand it better I suggest you read the first post of this thread - it explains some things.

Is JIS still around? This mission really needs a loot list and a walkthrough. There are plenty of unanswered questions and the mission is old enough that posting revelations seems appropiate.

I just went through this thing and saw how dark the screenshots are. (Looked fine in MSWord). As soon as I can, I'll fix it and re-upload the thing.

I have'nt actually finished it yet.
I am now stuck in the bloody area with the spiders (last mission) - I just can NOT seem to be able to not alert them and there's no where to run and hide in here dammit! VERY tired of getting spider bitten to death! :mad:
Okay, made it - had to just run like a streaker who's butt was on fire! :eek:
Halleluah! DONE!
smithpd may have been pleased at the end of this thing - me - I am just glad it's over, now I can delete it from my HD and forget I ever went thru this!
That last mission was the worst, sorry, call it a failing of mine, but I need to know what the hell I am doing and why I am doing it!

Well, the pics look really dark on my wife's Mac Powerbook, but they look great on my PC. Good thing, since it seems I've lost the Word version!!!

Stuck in the second mission. I'm in the chuch-like zone, where there is a hammerite ghost guarding the area. I have already done everything there, as long as recovering the Pyonchan's book, but now the metal doors to exit are closed. :( How can I do?
