Dirge - "balestoro"?

I was going through DoC's FMVs, and noticed this phrase comes up before the "start_____ fragment" screen appears on the monitor.

Anyone have any clues about this? Google provides nothing.... so... random word maybe?

This has been bugging me for ages tbh.

In Front Mission 2, you can find this message in the 'OTHERS' directory of the DNC News:

"June 22, 2102: - Institutional advertising: To access Barestoro forum, put address 'BALESTORO' and password 'BAFFLE'."

This just got more interesting.

Yeah, I was just about to say, it seems like a shout out to Front Mission.

Baresutoro (aka Balestoro) is the name of a fictional Italian company in the series.

Ah =)
I have never played the game, I just googled it and found the message in a guide. It would seem the track ends there, as it doesn't seem to relate to anything in the real world.

Oh btw, that message above was my first post on these forums. Herrow to you all

Hi

Is that in every version of the game? I don't recall seeing that.

Theyre just rubbing it in then, like saying 'hey, remember when we used to make good games? Not anymore asspipe. Thanks for the money you filthy animal'

Well this was from the original Japanese release. Though with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OARmJ0Q6848 seems it is. It goes by pretty quickly so, perhaps you didn't notice it?

Very likely
