Oh, by the way... I haven't raved about this music. Maybe you've had the fortune of forgetting (or not remembering in the first place) what happened in your ear canal in Episode 2. What do we have now? THANK YOU, YUKI KAJIURA! Sure, it's a somewhat banal piece, as composition technique goes, but that's not a problem in this context. Peculiar phrasing, definitely - emphasized upbeat, syncopated melody - you have to think a bit before you discover that it is in fact four beats to the bar, but no weird jumps, counterpointy bits or anything. Easy on the ears. I can accept that far from everyone will find it interesting to listen to, but it's definitely not UNpleasant music.

Anyway:
@20:10 - Very, very unfortunate that the translation wasn't better than this...
@21:00 - Huh... That's right, the bunch didn't learn the identity of Mr Blue until now. I kind of thought they had, but oh well.
@21:55 - Again with the slowdown! But this is pre-rendered video, isn't it? WHY WOULD THERE BE A SLOWDOWN???
@22:05 - Ah, yes, compulsion... I don't remember at this time how it all hangs together in the game universe, but the root of it is the question of predetermination vis-a-vis free choice. More on that later, when I have more information, I hope - I find that kind of thing interesting.
@22:30 - Soooo... this place disables, or otherwise dicks around with, Vessels of Anima? Note that they aren't disabled - ESes still fight - but the Anima gauge is erratic. I honestly don't know what to make of this information at this point, or even where to begin speculate, so - STFU mode engaged.
@29:00 - I don't quite understand the full symbology of this at the moment, but it is VERY important to the plot progression - this will happen again. I'm hoping it'll be explained before the ending, but I'm actually not sure it will be...
