Easter Egg Characters (SPOILERS?)

[saikofish]

There are four Easter Egg characters, all from a popular anime series. I hate to give it away if no one else has seen them so I won't just yet, but I do want to ask: has anyone else stumbled across them?

I've found two. I have no idea where the other two are, but I asked Josh and he's said they were during the investigation scene (where Azriel is trying to find the location of the juice). Hints, discussion and wild speculation are welcome!

As for the two I found already, one is found during the first scene where Azriel is looking for Matthius, and the other was found during the investigation, which means 3 of the characters can be found during the investigation scene.

Are there really more? I found Ed/Ein in the apartment but I never found others. Where are more?

[DaveGilbert]

I only found Ed, myself.  But I know you can find Jet, Faye and Spike somewhere.  At least, I know because I recorded the voice acting for 'em!  Not a small achievement, considering I never saw the show. 

[Phod]

Wow you did the Ed voice? Pretty amazing if so cause it was really accurate.

And you should watch the show, it's fantastic

So if Josh sees this, can he give some clues to the other characters?

[DaveGilbert]

Hah, no.  I didn't do the voices myself. My voice can't go that high!  I just begged some friends of mine who were into anime to do the voices for me.

oooh haha.. I was gonna say, it was pretty masterful.

[DaveGilbert]

The show is on my Netflix list!

Funnily enough, I had no idea what Cowboy Bebop was when I first playtested the game and found Ed/Ein. Dave, I'll just second how good it is.

So the only other character I know how to find is Spike. It's at the end of the first scene, when you break into Matthias's apartment, but DON'T look up his phone number yet, as that will end the scene. Instead, once you're inside, immediately leave the apartment (as soon as you can, anyway) and backtrack to the starting screen. Spike will be there.

I had no idea that other Cowboy Bebop cameos existed until I saw four names in the credits, and figured it out from there. The hunt is on...

Jet Black - he's at a very high place in the Azriel Investigation scene.

Faye Valentine - she is in a place where another female was.

[Phod]

Hmm I probably messed up the Spike one. I went back to a save game from the apartment but I can't leave. When I try to leave, he says he's not leaving yet. I haven't looked up the number yet. I tried looking up the number also, and same deal. To my knowledge the save game is as soon as I arrived in the apartment. Do you know what you need to do to be able to leave the apartment?

[Phod]

never mind, I did it. You just have to enter any part of the apartment then go back to the beginning.

Very cool. I really want to find the other two.

What was the Azriel investigation scene? haha.. he's always investigating.

Josh you could make a fantastic Cowboy Bebop adventure game.. you know if like getting sued wasn't a possibility

[saikofish]

Oh, you're right, you have to do it before entering Matthius's apartment. This wasn't the case in the beta test.

The "Azriel investigation scene" refers to when Azriel is back on Barracus to find where Center 7 is, and you can alternate with Delta 6.

I found Jet... wow, that wasn't even that hard. Can't believe I missed it in all the times of testing this game.

[Phod]

saiko, gimme some hints!!!

or an outright clue

[saikofish]

Just look at JBurger's hint! Jet is in a "very high place." It means a screen that scrolls up quite a bit.

[Phod]

yep found him. Any luck on Faye?
