Let's Play Phantasy Star IV #33: Time for Lutz of Backstory
112As we’ve been exploring the Algo system and bouncing from one threat to another, little tidbits of information have revealed themselves to us. We’ve learned about heroes of the ancient past, terrifying but fortunately long dead villains and of mysterious structures that defy explanation. Of all of them, we sadly know little about Dark Force, the entity that had taken control of Zelan and who Zio worshipped so doggedly, but we also know just as much about Rune. We’ve discovered things about the people in our party as time as gone on but Rune has remained an elusive figure, withholding information and speaking little of his motivation for helping us. Some might even conclude from all this that he’s not what he seems to be, working not to save Algo but to destroy it, waiting for his chance to strike at Chaz and his friends and end their efforts once and for all.
He’s certainly hiding something, but it’s not that he’s evil. There have been countless opportunities to ruin the plans of the party that would’ve been exceptionally easy to achieve, a few of them so simple that Chaz and the others wouldn’t have even known who had caused their downfall. Whatever Rune’s reasons for helping the group, there are still a lot of unanswered questions: Where did he get his great affinity with magic from, why is he holding back information, what was his relationship with Alys and most importantly, how is he able to pull of a pony tail so well?
Worry not folks, for some of the questions about what’s going on in the plot are about to be answered as we go to meet Lutz, the leader of the Espers. Unfortunately, one of those answers isn’t about Rune’s ponytail.
