backupdump002Man, I've got this neat flash idea for this song. Too bad I know, like... nothing about flash. Well, I can make an object fly around in a circle, but I can't really make a very good movie with that. Just have something fly around with OHHHH YEEEEESSSSS I'M FIIIIIIIINNE in the background man that wouldn't work at all. I should really learn flash one of these days, though, since I have a few ideas for it and I don't really want them to go to waste. Hmmmm
Anyway, tiiiiiiiiiiiime for sum FFIV! When we last left off, Cecil and Kain had just defeated D. Mist or Dragon Mist or whatever it's called and are now on their way to Mist. Let's see what happens next!
Previous episodes
Cecilzilla.
Kain decides to emerge from Cecil as though he had just been birthed via asexual reproduction, meaning it must be time for an important scene.
BOMBS :O Bombs are a recurring monster in the FF series. They have always frustrated me.
Pretty sure Ring of Bomb comes in at this point.
The Bombs fly around some more, but you get the idea.
Wow, sort of a delayed reaction, there.
Bombs: *pop out of the package and fly around evilly and burn things for about 20-30 seconds*
Kain: ... what?!
Just in case you were wondering what that green thing on the edge of the screen was.
Cecil helpfully repeats this for those of us with extreme short-term memory loss. Also wow, Mr. Tactful :B
Rydia joins in, repeating what Cecil just said in case our finger twitched and we accidentally skipped the text.
Get ready. You're about to witness the most sudden and dramatic character change ever.
Wow. This is coming from someone who, mere seconds ago, was all up in Cecil's face about defying the king.
Rosa needs rescuing?
Kain looks away, or in this case turns his entire body away from Cecil, since the artists were too lazy to make a sprite of him turning his head. WHAT COULD IT MEEEEAAAANNNN
Heh. Kain just had a little mini-argument with himself.
...and Cecil joined in.
It's hard to tell whether Cecil is talking to Kain or "Girl," here.
To be honest, I think she's pretty justified in not wanting to go with them, considering these two douchebags just killed her mom, burned her village, talked about killing her, and then tried to sweet-talk her into going with them, only to suddenly shout out LET'S TAKE HER and corner her. I'd be pretty freaked out, too.
AND THE MOUNTAINS REFORM!
But Cecil and "Girl" are aaaaaaalllllllriiiiiight. I guess they'd have to be, otherwise this would be a really short game.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN
Fission Mailed.
Oh dangit I just realized I forgot to unequip Kain's armor. I COULD'VE SOLD THAT. DANGIT.
Dumdeedumdeedum, escaping from Barooooonnnn~
Also, I had been planning on using a potion before heading out, just in case, but it seems Cecil's HP had been completely restored sometime during the whole mountain reforming thing. Wow. Sadly, this is the only part in the game where Quake seems to have magical healing powers. DARN.
snort, Sandpede. AH, LETTER LIMITATIONS
I'm glad we had this conversation.
Again, I don't blame "Girl." I'D STILL BE REALLY CREEPED OUT BY HIM
*bang*
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, we already--
CECIL FOR GOD'S SAKE you and Kain repeated that to each other like TEN TIMES just a few minutes ago. I half-expect "Girl" to jump out of bed and be like "YOU MEAN... THE CALLERS OF MIST ARE TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE????"
Aaaaand battle. I find Cecil's size compared to the soldiers to be completely hilarious.
Also, there were originally three soldiers, but I had already killed one by the time I took this screenshot :B Baron has the wimpiest military force ever.
OW I GUESS I'M DONE FOR
It's actually better to defeat the officer first so he can't run and THEN kill the soldiers since you get more exp and gold that way, but I didn't do that for some reason. I dunno :B
Finally, now I can stop playing dumb about her name. Her theme song kicks in, here.
ALRIGHT!
And since we currently don't know who Tellah and Anna ARE, this means nothing to us. God Crazy Inn Lady haven't you been paying attention
THAT'S OUR CUE TO TAKE HIM DOOOOOOOWWWWWNNNN I mean talk to him and try and come to an understanding.
These people are wusses, then, because the monsters around here are cake. If the place were surrounded by behemoths or something then I'd be much more understanding, but...
BETTER ROPE SOME DAMCYAN ROYALTY INTO ESCORTING US THEN wait i mean
Possibly my favorite line in the whole game.
And so on. I DON'T WANNA WASTE TIME GETTING AND CODING EVERY LAST FRAME OF HER LAME DANCE OKAY BACK OFF
First some crazy old guy, now Sea Snakes. Why this game gotta be so tough :*(
Oh yeah, here's Rydia's portrait. You may also notice that she's level 1 and barely has any HP. This makes it fuuuuuuun trying to keep her alive during battles so she can level up.
A little late, but I'll take it!
Oh goody, more juicy gossip about those Anna and Tellah weirdos. Why do these people know these things and why are they telling them to me in such a cryptic manner :<
Useful information. Magic users go in the back row and fighters go in the front, as you might've guessed. I know physical attacks are weaker in the back, but I'm pretty sure magic spells aren't. That wouldn't make much sense if they were, considering :V
WELL WHY DONTCHA MARRY HIM
Hahahahah they even repeat the "falling down" line. I love this game.
Also HMMMMMMMMMMMMM WHO COULD IT BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
OH DAAAAAARN I THOUGHT IT WAS CID
I don't wanna know what she's dreaming about.
Thank you, bookcase! I especially like the dramatic pause before "the SandRuby."
Hahaha, whoop. Little late, there. Anyway, guess we should make a note to visit that crazy ol' Antlion.
Haha, this is originally where I wanted to leave off. "NOT GONNA HAPPEN," says LJ.
Wow, only 42 minutes into the game and already we've stolen the Crystal of Water, gotten removed from the Red Wings, slayed a dragon and thus accidentally killed Rydia's mother, delivered a package of Bombs to Mist, planned to start a rebellion against the king, reformed the mountains around Mist and destroyed it completely, lost Kain, brought Rydia to an inn where we had to defend her from Baron's crappy troops, gained Rydia as a party member, found Rosa at someone's house and discovered she has desert fever, and now we have to go get the Sand Ruby from this antlion in a cave somewhere so we can save her. Whew. Busy game.
Here we have Rydia's abilities. White = White Magic (defensive magic), Black = Black Magic (offensive magic), Call = Summon (calling upon a monster to either deal massive damage or heal your party or something). But you probably already knew that :V Right now, the only thing she can do is fight (useless, since she misses like 90% of the time and does terrible damage when she DOES hit), or use the Chocobo summon, which is also pretty useless since she BARELY has any MP right now, and plus summons aren't really necessary for random battles. So right now, Rydia is pretty much just something you have to make not die so she can level up. This may seem pretty discouraging at first, but trust me, it wont belong before Rydia becomes an invaluable part of your team.
Also, I kept forgetting to put her in the back row until a little later. DURR
THIS WILL HAPPEN A LOT
Already starting to pick up some magic :O Sight lets you view the world map, btw, which is really handy since it can be easy to get lost (especially if you're like me and have trouble remembering where things are). You can only use it while you're actually ON the world map, though.
Someone in town said there was a crazy old guy blocking the path, here. In gamespeak, this means GET OVER THERE RIGHT NOW
Just showin' you what the spells look like and stuff :O Rydia's still kind of weak, here.
ARGH I FORGOT THESE DID THAT
Useful, since a lot of the monsters here are water types :B
Am I the only one who always thinks of carrots when these show up?
I FOOOOUND YOOOO
I'm with Cecil on this one.
How did Cecil know he was Tellah, you ask? Call in and vote!
I get this vague feeling that Cecil wasn't really paying attention to him.
Wooooo never hurts to have some more backup. Tellah joins you at level 20, so he can pretty much hold his own.
This is why black mages are awesome :D
Paralyze, in other words.
I bet it sucks trying to climb up a waterfall in heavy armor.
Oooooooooooo Tellah's gettin' this
FFIV is known for its creative equipment names.
Those cave toads are smoking something I swear
Also, "surprised" just means the enemy attacks first. It can be annoying with weaker enemies since they're just doing like two damage and wasting time and it's like YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WIN OKAY JUST LET ME KILL YOU OR LEAVE OR SOMETHING
And yes, I also forgot to put Tellah in the back row for a while. :B.
SECRET ROOM BEHIND A WATERFALL SOMEWHERE :O There was 1,000 GP, an elixer, and a cure 2 in those chests.
Would be more useful if you could use this against bosses and stuff D: There isn't really much of a point, otherwise.
ARGH this is funny at first but it is so annoying later on, especially when you come across the Toad Witch or whatever the heck she's called and she just constantly uses toad on everyone and aghgda. Toad totally (or should i say TOADALLY HURR HURR shoot me) lowers your defense and offense (to the point where you only do one damage) and prevents you from using magic, by the way. >(
The toadified character portraits are pretty great, though.
Again, just showing you guys what the spells look like. Psych just saps MP from the target. Can be pretty useful if there's nothing left, given that the enemy has a lot of MP in the first place.
SUDDENLY A DRAGON BREAKS OPEN THE DOOR AND KILLS THEM ALL wait
And then they just... go into Tellah's robes and disappear. I don't wanna know.
She already is :B
He keeps changing his story every time.
Only a friend? :O
OH GREAT
I've always been amused by this for some reason.
Does just what you'd expect from something called "venom." It doesn't seem to work most of the time, sadly. D:
SECRET WALL PASSAGE GOOOOOOO
Haha, WaterHag. I hate TinyMages so much.
PANTS i mean helmet, helmet.
I've always really liked this view :O I think a neat picture idea would be to have the party on the first floor and have them looking up at all the upper floors and stuff, if that makes sense. Too bad I suck at that sort of thing or I'd do it.
Picked this up at some point. That sword is totally awesome at this point in the game.
AND SO I DID
Salute!
WAIT CECIL THERE WAS A PATH AROUND-- oh nevermind
*penny whistle*
And somehow, we land several feet away from the bottom of the waterfall. Okay.
D: Guh. This just makes me think of going through the swamps in MGS3 and having to battle all those aligators (or were they crocodiles?) and stuff. I should really get a capture card or something so I can record myself going through those -- it'd probably be pretty funny for you guys, just 'cause you'd get to see me turn into this bumbling wuss and shoot crazily at anything that moves. WHAT WAS THAT WASDFHSDF *long string of gunshots*
Oooooo new Cecil equips.
Dang, I guess Rydia's still too weak for this to really work :O At least while it's all spread out like this, anyway.
Lets you warp back to the last door you walked through. Mostly useless, though I guess I can see it having some use in harder dungeons and stuff.
And suddenly, we are treated to the sight of a couple of tentacles dancing around in the distance. I WONDER WHAT IT COULD BE
Hahahahaha. WHAT A NAME
lol
Anyway the point of this battle is to destroy the tentacles (about 250 HP each, I think), and then finally kill the head (pretty sure it's 700 HP). Have Cecil attack and Rydia and Tellah cast lightning spells and you're pretty much good to go :O
And I just think this is neat. See, the artists could've just been lazy and had eight tentacles sticking up and then just make one of them disappear when you destroy it, but instead, they actually redrew each tentacle. I just think it's a neat detail. GOOD JOB, SQUARE
He really does attack less often with less tentacles. Which makes sense. I don't think he even attacked me anymore at all, at this point. Something about this makes me feel oddly guilty.
Poor Octomamm :(
AND THEEEEEERE IT IIIIIISSSSS
Wow, that sucked. Seriously, that's like... the unluckiest thing I've ever seen.
Run! randomly bursts in at this point.
And then it switches to Castle Damcyan once you walk inside. I just think that's kind of funny I dunno SHUT UP
I guess these guys are dead :O
I dunno, I just like the scenery. YOU KNOW, ALL THE DESTRUCTION AND FIRE AND STUFF why is the stone on fire, anyway
Wow, I read that as "terrible bombardments from terrible airships" at first glance. I didn't get much sleep last night |D
THANX 4 DA TIP
WHO COULD IT BEEEEEEEE NOW waa waawaa waaaaahhh waaaa
This cracks me up and it probably shouldn't.
Also, this hilarious DUN DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNNNNNN sound clip plays when this pops up, which only adds to it.
WELL HELLOOOOOOOO WHO'S THAT LOVELY LADY OVER--
...wait...
...oh.
Wow, talk about your field and battle sprites being inconsistent.
Possibly the most famous line in the whole game.
God Tellah, use magic or something.
Wooooo first mention of Golbez. It's weird seeing everyone being all clueless about him.
Pretty sure Cry in Sorrow comes in at this point. Sad music :O
It's funny if you imagine him saying this instead of actually acting it out |B
"You couldn't even face Octomamm alone, you silly fool!"
SMACK!
AND I FORGOT TO UNEQUIP HIM AS WELL ARRRRRRRGH
Haha, even little kids think Edward's a wimp. I still love you, Edward :<
...although vowing to stay in a room with the corpse of your dead girlfriend is a little creepy.
SMACK something about castles getting blown up just puts everyone in the mood for a good slap-a-thon.
Anna: FREAK
And Edward automatically assumes Cecil's friend is a she. I mean, he's right, but still :B
But... how? I mean does it just give birth to a ruby after it lays eggs or something what
Hoooraaaaaaayyyy except Edward sucks in battle. I'll get into that later.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, but Melody of Lute comes in... somewhere during all this, can't remember exactly where. WOO.
Anna slowly blinks out of sight, which, in old RPG terms, means she's officially dead.
SWEEEEEEEEEET
But I'm not done checking out the castle, so I go back in :B
Thanks for the heads up, guys!
Edward's portrait. His face looks very... square.
Can't you fight this while wandering around the desert in FF7, specifically around the Corel Prison area? :O I seem to remember fighting this before...
WELL WELL WELL WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE
Blinky death.
YEAH I'LL KEEP YOUR ITEMS SAFE ALRIGHT AHUH HUH HUH
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP
So anyway, what lurks within the depths of the Antlion's lair? LET'S FIND OUT
NEXT TIME because I really ought to do something else...
Jeez, the PSP gets more and more tantalizing the more I hear about it. Maybe I should get a job or something :B
Anyway, tiiiiiiiiiiiime for sum FFIV! When we last left off, Cecil and Kain had just defeated D. Mist or Dragon Mist or whatever it's called and are now on their way to Mist. Let's see what happens next!

Date: 2007-09-26 04:39 am (UTC)Haha, AWESOME. And Kain did it all for yooouuuu, Cecil.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN
Fission Mailed.
D: Oh no, did that kill him? Or is he just gone?
and what mountains reforming what? They don't look different to me. :O
Aaaaand battle. I find Cecil's size compared to the soldiers to be completely hilarious.
He's a midget! Or the others are giants. Or just a lot closer. :B
THAT'S OUR CUE TO TAKE HIM DOOOOOOOWWWWWNNNN I mean talk to him and try and come to an understanding.
Haha, I love that one old man is keeping everyone from going through the pass. Unless he has special powers or something I mean. Maybe they just don't want to hit an old guy. :B
Falling down what? :O
delivered a package of Bombs to Mist
And you didn't really... do anything about those bombs and burning the village down, did you? :O
Useful, since a lot of the monsters here are water types :B
That makes sense... but it seems like ice spells should also be extra-effective against water types.
hahahah tentacles XD
Found Darkness! In other words the chest was empty, better luck next time. :B
Hahahah. SUDDENLY IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE SUCH A GREAT IDEA TO JUST WALK UP TO IT, HUH.
See, the artists could've just been lazy and had eight tentacles sticking up and then just make one of them disappear when you destroy it, but instead, they actually redrew each tentacle.
Oh, cool :D Heh, and when there's only one left it looks like he's waving goodbye.
SPOONY >(
His help? What could he do anyway?
So is the aircraft any faster than walking or is it just a means of avoiding random encounters? :O

Yeah, seriously XD Though I guess he does have black magic, and townsfolk are apparently too wimpy to take on SANDPEDES of all things, soooo
YEAH I KNOW they just stand there and angst and don't actually try to fight the Bombs or evacuate anyone or anything. YOU BOTH FAIL AS HEROES
Good point :O I double-checked just now, though, and it says ice spells are only effective against fire types and "certain cave-dwelling monsters." Weird.

*cracks up*
YOU SPOONY BARD I am now tempted to change my LJ display name to "Spoony Bard."
HE'S PRETTY OF COURSE
Actually someone said something about how only Damcyan royalty can get in the Antlion's cave for some reason, which actually doesn't make a lot of sense since you really only need a hovercraft to actually get over there. ONLY DAMCYAN ROYALTY CAN OWN A HOVERCRAFT
Both, actually! 8D The hovercraft is awwweeesooome

Date: 2007-09-27 01:57 am (UTC)DAMCYAN ROYALTY IS SOMEHOW MORE HOVERCRAFT-WORTHY THAN OTHER ROYALTY?
maybe this is why golbez blew up their castleno subject
Date: 2007-09-27 01:56 am (UTC)Yeah, townsfolk are always so helpless. :O
YOU PROBABLY COULD HAVE SAVED SOME LIVES THERE OR SOMETHING, BUT YOU KNOW, WHATEVER.

Huh. :O Too bad...
