he was there forever! i thought that was the case. an old friend was big into the series (like, had NA and JP versions of nocturne and the ps2 devil summoner games and strange journey) and used to talk about how much better the guy got at artwork over the years.
i kind of like the older human designs better, though. they're silly, but there's just something i find a little unsettling about the way everybody looks in the ps2 games.
scary!
man, i was so excited when i was able to fuse barong in nocturne, and then more excited when i saw how goddamn cute he is. but he's weak to death or something and he dies all the goddamn time and i think it would have been a pain to give him resist death so i ended up having to get rid of him and i think that's when i lost interest in that game.
because of barong. cute little barong.
