Phantasy Star IV: Academy Principal

Postby Thoul » Sun Jul 26, '09, 12:02 am

This fellow is the headmaster of the Academy in Piata, Motavia's only school of higher learning. As the game begins, he recently placed a mysterious job listing with the Hunter's Guild in Aiedo. The only instructions provided were "Just come." When Alys and Chaz take up the job and arrive in his office, they learn that the Academy's basement has become infested with monsters! The job is to clear the critters out discreetly. Oddly enough, the issue of payment for this task was never raised. Most jobs from the Guild are paid after the mission is completed, but this particular task was not handled in that manner.

Lol, true. But it's also true they really didn't finish the job... it's impossible to completely clean that basement - there will always be one alive.

Now serious,we start with 500 Meseta, so part of it (or the whole) could be a payment in advance. That would explain why the principal don't let us go outside Piata until we finish the job.

Advance payment would explain it nicely. I can't think of any other guild job that had payment in advance offhand, but then none of them came from a large organization like the Academy either.

Bear in mind that Alys handled "negoations". I imagine she's the reason why there was an advanced payment.

Yes, why would she accept a job which the only information is "just come"?

Don't you guys see? The job was them going to go see the (lonely) Principal. Hence the "Just Come." Then he realized he had another issue they could resolve for him for free! Though he played it cool and acted like it was the true reason.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

Bumping up this former Image Of The Day!

The HeadMaster looks like an interesting fellow. A man short on words too.
