Suggoi! Arcana Heart 2 [PS2] - play as Parace L'Sia (demonstration)
48This is a demonstration of Parace L'Sia in the PS2 version of Arcana Heart 2. Read on below for more information...
Parace L'Sia is the final boss in Story Mode. She is an unplayable character.
Additionally, she has her own unique arcana called Parace L'Sia (Life), which is also a non-selectable arcana. This arcana is not necessary to use Parace's own basic and special moves, but if you want to use her Life arcana moves then you must select this Arcana with her.
Pairing her with the Life arcana gives you the 'proper' boss version of her, just like the CPU Parace.
The first segment of this video demonstrates Parace and her moves, and the 2nd segment demonstrates her appearing in 1-Player arcade mode.
===== About Parace =====
I think she's definitely one of the best unique unplayable boss characters to control, because she's got a ton of moves!
Also, her swirling gems/orbs aren't just for show... if you look closely and pay attention to them you'll see that each of them have their own element (fire, wind, water, earth), and depending on which basic or special move you use, the correct orb is used to strike no matter which position it was in... clever stuff. A lot of effort sure went into creating this character.
===== Additional Information =====
---- She has no Homing flight.
---- She cannot throw.
---- If you press F,F to dash forward but keep F held down, she freezes until you release F.
---- If you choose her with a different Arcana other than her own one, she can still use her personal basic moves and special moves.
---- As you can see in the video, if you go into her Command List, it is blank. Her Life arcana command list is blank as well.
---- She only has the one colour palette we see in the video.
---- On the pre-versus screen (where they have their speech), her portrait is a flawed black block. However her proper portrait appears perfectly on the main VS screen. You can see this in the video. This is somewhat of a surprise because CPU Parace does have a pre-versus screen portrait... maybe it can only appear on the P2 side.
---- She can actually activate her Arcana. However there will be no sprites of Parace when doing so.
---- When activating her Arcana, she seems to use someone else's voice for it (can't remember who's it is).
---- If you select a 'regular' Arcana with her, she can still use the Arcana's moves, however Parace will have no sprites for them.
