ArtBane and I have been talking, and we decided we would throw this on here:
Arc II History Scene
I do not bump without good reason.
This is a secret scene from Arc II detailing a particular element of the backstory. We came to realize that very few people have found this, though. To get it while playing Arc II, you need to visit all the Arc I dungeons (Fort Drake, the old Gallian church, the Terr Mountains) as well as return to the mine dungeon before the end of the game. It wasn't especially hard to do, but there was nothing within the game that gave any hints about this.
I didn't want this to go underseen because I was just very pleased with how it came out. It strikes a very different tone than the rest of the game, which is fitting because it's detailing a different part of Solest's history. It's a nice small file (5 MB) and it takes about 5-6 minutes to watch. Hope you enjoy!
We have a similar idea for Arc III, but we'll have to find a way to make it less difficult to track down.
