Phantasy Star: Cloaked Man

Postby Thoul » Mon Jan 24, '11, 12:04 am

While some townspeople in Phantasy Star provide a bright and cheerful impression in the colorful towns and fantastic dome houses, others undermine that atmosphere to provide a glimpse at the harshness of Lassic's rule. This unshaven man, wrapped in a ragged and dirty sheet, is reduced to wandering the streets shoeless. He is a beggar, asking passing people if they could spare him a cup of cola. If refused, he replies harshly and labels people as tightwads.

Here in Brazil there was a common association between these beggars and guys addicted to shoe glue because the world "cola" is common for cola nut and glue, so when the guy asked for cola, it was impossible to not think about the drug addicts. By chance, exactly at the time PS was popular here, there were many children addicted to shoe glue here, unfortunately.

Wow, I bet the developers never anticipated that. It's a very unfortunate circumstance that casts these characters in a whole different light. I've never once considered that they might be addicts in that manner.

Yeah, that is a coincidence that, most probably, happened only here in Brazil. It is very common to see people making that association in Brazilian PS forums.
