SO. In Wild Arms V, the main characters from the last four games make cameos. I haven't actually played the game because I could never find a copy and I always assumed the cameos were just the playable characters. And then (from
here):
"Janus appears as a 'narcissistic hunter' in the town of Laila Belle. Apparently, he's fairly well respected Golem Hunter in his own right, but still thinks too much of himself. "
... well now I kind of have to play this game. Or at least find screencaps. how did I not know about this!
eta three weeks later: HEY. HEY!!
