Another Lynx Mugshot?
« on: December 25, 2008, 08:11:44 pm »
I noticed this when I saw Lynx's bio in the Encyclopedia.



Any idea where it's seen in-game or is it just an extra they forgot to get rid of?

Isn't it Serge's portrait after the transformation?

It was supposed to be a younger Lynx, IIRC -- perhaps a flashback of some sort...

IIRC - "If I remember correctly".

Used in a sentence: "IIRC, there was a time in the not so distant past when people didn't use innumerable abbreviations because they weren't too lazy to type."

Perhaps Wazuki to Lynx was a gradually process.

Hey... you trying to say something there? :lol:
IIRC and AFAIK are the only ones I use as they genuinely save precious seconds I could be using doing something else... like working or thinking.

Not trying to say anything, just tried to right an ironic sentence out of the definition  :D.

One of those portraits is Serge in Lynx's body.

Suppose that makes sense... any official record, ingame or external, of this? Just curious as I've always wondered if it was a younger Lynx(as Wazuki) or Serge ex Lynx.

From Serge's Page:
"However, Lynx initated a Dragonian ritual with the Dragon Tear and switched bodies with Serge, leaving him in the body of a panther. He was then banished to the Temporal Vortex, only escaping with Harle's help."

About halfway through the game. Even your portrait image and menu image are changed into Lynx, but with a different facial expression to reflect the different person inside.

I know the menu image changed, but that's just a clipping from Lynx's OA. Where does Serge-As-Lynx talk or use that portrait?

I don't remember seeing it with any dialogue. Just the standard silent protagonist "..." type stuff. Not even sure where, since I don't seem to find it in the script.

However, the script actually has this while he's stuck in the Temporal Vortex:

Code: [Select]
Harle:
   Furthermore...
   what waz zis Serge?
   A figure, a shape?
   A spirit?
   A soul?
   Where waz zis Serge?
   
Serge:
   Who am...
   I?
   Who are...
   you?
   You're not me.
   I'm not you.
   I am reality...
   You are...
   
Sprigg:
   Now, open the door
   to reality only.
   One mistake, and you'll
   never make it back
   to the real world.

It might be there. Go take a screenshot if you want the answer.
