Really? I'd find it much easier to skim-read an actual VN than skim-watch a video, mostly because of how the music keeps stopping and starting and the fact that you actually have to pay attention to the timing rather than just hitting Enter whenever you want to move the text along.
But yeah, a text dump would be extremely helpful I think. |

It turns out there's a script/executable that can do exactly this. I'll run it once I'm home and then proofread/format it in some fashion depending on what the dump looks like. Thanks, Python!
Beholde, yon texte dumppe! According to Word it's roughly 161,000 words. I have no idea how long that is relative to canon episodes (nor is it done yet), but it'd make a fairly longish book. Yeesh. Note that most formatting is killed, including colored text, so things like the dream are an incomprehensible mess. Have fun with that.

My first reading is now complete.
There's no way I'm ready to challenge that epically huge list of questions after a single read. Battler is really amazing to go through it just once and be ready to fight the Summoner. Still, bring forth the meta-brawl, because the red and blue fights are my favorite part. Spoiler:

But of course they're not really fighting. It's more like a boxing match than a brawl, so the stakes aren't as high as they are in canon and Battler can go at it a bit more loosely. It's not like anybody's life (or whatever you call it for meta people) is on the line.

Episode 1 is about 100,000. Episode 2 is about 125,000. Episode 3 is about 110,000. Episode 4 is about 150,000. And Episode 5 is about 75,000. Don't have scripts for the last three. Unrelatedly, I love how the dream sequence reads when it all runs together. |

I knew Alliance went on and on and on, but I didn't realize it was twice as long as End.
I assume the longest episodes are Alliance and Twilight (just a guess, but ep8 is quite long). Anyway being slightly longer than Alliance is certainly surprising, but at least I'm not dramatically longer or shorter. I like the way the text dump does extend lines. Whenever I have to break a line up for visual or audio effects it jumps lines like this. I could've fixed that but meh. Worse yet, because Ren'py uses quotation marks as a mechanical feature to distinguish on-screen text from system commands, all quotation marks get stripped out by the text dumper. Fortunately I had a cunning plan for this, changing all in-line quotations (which have to be written out as \") into a character not used in the script (|), dumping the text, then ctrl+h replacing every | with a ". I also forgot to compile a list of red/blue/gold text used so far but I deliberately made the red text about as useless as possible and I think there were all of two blue statements and one gold. Expect a lot more of all of that to come, and it'll actually be useful for once. EDIT: Well here it is anyway for funsies. Spoiler for Red Text:

Spoiler for Gold Text:

Well, I haven't quite deciphered 1986, but here are my main theories about Redaction before the Tea Party settles things...
Spoiler for Golden Bug Hunter's Witch Hunt:
Still need to make better sense of the 80s, but that's a chunk of my thoughts for now. Hopefully I'm at least doing better than 'Small Bombs'. |

Guess it's time to start taking shots before the tea party.
This could be embarrassingly wrong (or old news - I haven't really kept up well on what others have theorized), but the text dump won't open for me (says it's corrupt) and I can't really rewatch every video. Spoiler:

EDIT: Dunno if this will work any better. It's a .txt in a .zip, no guarantees that some of the text didn't get mangled in the process.

Looking at the website, the only downloading option I could find was a torrent. Is there a direct download available anywhere? |

If you download the torrent, go after the EP5 one, it includes EP1-4 as well.

The whole thing is 2.90GB. 1GB from PS3 sprites, one more GB from BGM and the rest are bgs/sound effects/buttons ect.
Haven't heard about space saving methods. Guess, I should google that. 2.90GB for a fangame IS insane lol. Edit : Getting a second seeder on the Torrent. The DLL should be faster now GoldenLand.
