ok the reason that the play has to wait is that there are sub missions you can do at the same time. so the player can get better at hand-to-hand combat also if the player finshs the sub missions they get a chance at lori's sub quest where you only get to use lori jazz and spaz wait behind so they arn't there to help you and if you finsh it you get lori's hidden crystial. that's why you wait 60 min.
um it's ment to be a long cut seance like in final fantsy or something. look the point is it's ment to be long if people want i may cut it down a little bit but that will take longer and chapter 3 will be on hold longer. it's a good thing my holidays start to so after school i can think about the story but i'm not working on it 24/7 i have a life you know.
