Final Fantasy IV Adventure!!1 Part 6

[backupdump002]

Man, I had this dream last night about eating waffles. They were pretty big, too... not like GIANT but kind of big for waffles. And they were really crunchy and fluffy and delicious. I was all disappointed when I woke up and realized we didn't have any waffles in the freezer :( SIGH

AAAAANYWAAAAAY let's play some FFIV. Where did we leave off... ah, yes. Cecil became a paladin, Tellah remembered his spells and also learned Meteo (which he can't use, btw, since it costs more MP than he will ever have), we reunited with Yang (though not before having an EPIC FIGHT with him where he suddenly has thousands of HP, even though he actually only has about 800+), we snuck into Baron through the underground waterway, defeated Baigan and Kainazzo, reunited with Cid, lost the twins (they got stoned lol get it omg), got an airship, met Kain who told us he'd trade his level 100 Charizard Rosa for the Crystal of the Earth, and now we're going to Toroia to get said crystal. LET'S GO

Previous episodes





Airship music! I used to like this until I spent a billion years flying all over the place and trying to find stuff. Then it just gets annoying and why does my shoulder hurt



Before we go to Toroia, I have a couple errands to run.



..uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
OKAY, so I guess Mist actually didn't get destroyed. Or something. I forgot about that. Or maybe they rebuilt it. The mountains sure reformed, though, so you can't get to it by normal means (well, walking). I dunno. AWKWAAAAARRRRRD



oooooooooo need to check that out




lol, "unknown." I guess nobody heard Kain and Cecil standing in the middle of town going WHAT THE KING GAVE US A PACKAGE OF BOMBS TO BLOW UP ALL THE CALLERS WAIT YOU MEAN HE TRICKED US INTO DELIVERING THIS PACKAGE OF BOMBS TO MIST HEY I THINK THE KING IS EVIL OR SOMETHING SINCE HE JUST HAD US DELIVER THESE BOMBS TO THIS TOWN THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY STANDING IN





CAN YOU GUESS WHERE I AM
(hint: fireplace)









After successfully looting Mist, I decide to move on.



TO SILVERA, TOWN OF MIDGETS AND FURRIES! POPULATION: 12



I wonder if the dialogue changes if you go in as a toad or something? Haha, maybe I should visit that dancer in Mysidia 8D If you can use the airship while you're an animal, anyway.




There were a couple buildings in here that you could walk in, but it wouldn't take you to a different screen and there weren't any hidden treasure chests in them or anything. Weird.




I SURE DID HUBBA HUBBA




Tell me more of this antsteak



I don't think I actually checked out said mine or anything :B Durrrr. SOMEONE REMIND ME TO DO IT NEXT TIME



WOO!



ALRIGHT!










OH GOD I THINK HE'S DEAD








YOU'RE NOT WELCOME >(




I know the knife is for Tellah, and I think the staff is as well. I sold them both, though, since Tellah doesn't need a knife and I'm pretty sure the Rod of Change is stronger than the Silver Staff. Not sure, though. WHATEVER. MONEY!



WOOOOOOOOOOOO



Grabbed a bunch of armor for Cid and Cecil :O Actually, I think I just got a set for Cid, and just got Cecil the shield since I didn't have any cash left over. Normally I'd put Cecil before everyone else in this sort of situation, but Cid really needed it -- he just had a Prisoner Outfit, a Wooden Hammer, and nothing else. Not to mention Cecil gets some new armor for free in an upcoming dungeon. Soooo
Oh yeah, and keep Cid's Wooden Hammer. You're gonna need it in a sec.



Hahahahaha there's our old hovercraft. I'LL COME BACK FOR YOU SOMEDAAAAAAYYYY



Anyway, to Toroia! Yes, that little spot is the only place you can land your airship.



Trojain Beauty. Very pretty and peaceful :O



THANK YOU. I THINK.







A PRINCE YOU SAY





You're a woman!?



Uhhhh sorry lady but it looks like you're wearing a bright yellow swimsuit and a great big bow to me. What kind of a "combat uniform" is this



Hahahahaahaha Cecil oh my god how did you even initiate this conversation
HEY BABYCAKES, THAT'S A NICE LEOTARD YOU GOT THERE. HOWS ABOUT YOU SHOW ME HOW THAT THANG FITS IN THE BACK, IF YOU KNOWS WHAT I'M SAYINS





wuh



Oh, so some Dark Elf fellow took it. We're gonna have to do somethin' about that!



IT'S VERY ANNOYING, TOO



Gettin' back mah woman



Hahahahaha I just think it's kind of funny that they don't even know about Cecil's deal or anything and they're still like "WELL IF YOU CAN GET OUR CRYSTAL BACK THEN WE'LL LET YOU BORROW IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE" and all. I mean, what would he even do with it?






I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE. PLEASE DIVERT YOUR EYES FROM THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE SCREEN.





Tadaaaaaaaaah







Seriously.








So much concern. The girl gets swallowed by a dragon and everyone's just like "Poor ol' Rydia, goshdurnit. Boy that's sure a real shame alright. Anyway ROSA ROSA ROSA ROSA"













Aaaaaand he just goes back to sleep. Poor guy :<



Man nurse! Hehehe. I have a stuffed penguin named Man Nurse.





Frogs :D




Uhhhh I think this is down the right staircase. Can't remember.



This was down the middle. I think. I'm stepping on a switch on the floor in this, which would make each door open one at a time. FREE TREASURE WOO




Decided I should probably be honest.



What.






Toroia, the city of beautiful greenery and water and creepy old men hiding in bushes and spying on women swimming in aforementioned water.



WELL
HOW ABOUT I... TAKE IT OFF?
*heavy baseline*



BUT SHE JUST SAID I CAN'T SWIM OH GOD I'M SO CONFUSED



walkin' through the streeeeeaaam



walkin' through the foreeeessssst



WELL GREAT NOW YOU JUST RUINED THE MYSTERY OF THE TWINHARPS FOR ME I HATE YOU






AND JUST FOR THAT, I'M TAKING ALL OF YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE >( JERK



Yes.
...no.




I actually thought she was dead or something for a second :B





Best book title ever.





YEEEEEE



I hope whoever wrote that article got a hefty raise



D'AWWWWWWWWWWWW






GET OUT OF THERE



<3
They all say this, by the way.



In other words once you fly them, leave them somewhere, then come back and get on them later, then they'll automatically go back to the Chocobo Village.



hahahahaha just left the door open



I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT METALS GETTING HEAVY IN THE CAVE IN THE NORTHEAST EVERYONE JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT ALREADY




Ahh, yes. The pass. It's completely overpriced, and the feature it unlocks is pretty worthless. If I were just playing by myself then I'd skip all of this entirely, but since I'm playing for you guys, I thought I might as well show you what it does. I made sure to save before doing this, though.










THESE GUYS SURE KNOW HOW TO PARTY!



The what now




Best conversation ever.



FINE, I DIDN'T WANNA BE A PART OF YOUR SNOOTY CLUB ANYWAY



drunk




Oh wow you fought an Imp yeah that's pretty epic alright



Well, he is an NPC.



NO I WANNA SEE WHAT THAT LADY SAYS AAAAAAAAAAAAAA



Oh yeah, pass. That's what I was gonna do.




HEY GUYS, CHECK OUT MY AWESOME INVENTORY




WOOOOOO ALRIIIIIIIGHT



Interesting name, there.



OH BOY



Jesus Cecil, get a chair or something.
MUST SEE PRETTY LADIES HURSFHFDURF



Aaaaaaaaaand Samba de Chocobo! If you thought the regular chocobo theme was cheerful then WAIT 'TIL YOU HEAR THIS. This is actually one of my favorite themes from the game :D It's just so catchy and happy.
















okay what are they even doing seriously











And there you have it :B There was some video of this dance on YouTube (and they had Tellah's sprite visible instead of Cecil's, hahaha), but I can't find it anymore.




I'm sure you did



BUH HUH HUH HUH HUH



wtf this is the worst dressing room ever



Anyway, let's go to that cave everyone's yammering about. The cave is on an island and the island is covered in trees, so we can't land our airship on it. THIS CALLS FOR A BLACK CHOCOBO!





Weeeeeeeeee
Samba de Chocobo plays when you fly these, by the way :D




The cool thing about Black Chocobos is that you can leave them somewhere and they wont automatically run off, like a normal chocobo does. Awesome! Though like I mentioned before, once you get on them for the second time then they auto-pilot over to Chocobo Village, soooo :O






So yeah, I hope you have some spare leather armor laying around, and I also hope you kept that Wooden Hammer. If you wear any metallic equipment into this cave then that's pretty much just an automatic game over, since it'll weigh your party member(s) down and they wont be able to move (I think it may automatically go YOUR PARTY HAS LOST GAME OVER LOL as soon as you enter battle, but I don't know for sure, since I've never really gone in with metal equips). It's probably best to just run from battles for this part and just focus on getting to the end of the cave as fast as possible, though I did fight a couple battles just for the heck of it. I dunno :B
I don't really get how it makes any difference whether your party is WEARING the equips or not, though, since it seems like just carrying that stuff around should weigh them down. Whatever, FFIV.



GOD THESE THINGS ARE AS ANNOYING AS ZUBATS. STOP USING VAMPIRE ON ME AND LET ME RUN OR SOMETHING VAMPIRE DOES NOTHING OKAY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BEAT ME STOP WASTING TIME ADGFKDHJFG



Octomages.



ALWAYS COMFORTING TO SEE SKELETONS IN YOUR DUNGEONS



Ogres freak me out and I don't know whhhhhyyyyyy



Hahahahahahaha naga. God, its head even kind of looks like something she would draw, if you think about it. The face looks kind of similar and stuff. HMMMMMMMM




oooooo Yang's gettin' this one.



I HATE YOU AND YOUR STUPID BAT ARMY AND I HOPE YOU DIE AGHRGHGHFGD




Anyway :B



THE DARK ELF, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I LOVE HOW HIS FIELD SPRITE JUST LOOKS LIKE THIS AVERAGE GUY, THAT IS GREAT.




DID YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T HAVE HIM TALK IN ALL CAPS IN THE GBA VERSION?! THEY JUST HAD HIM TALK IN SEMI-CAPS. I MEAN HOW LAME IS THAT. I WAS OUTRAGED.



wait are they talking to the Dark Elf or what



You can't win this battle, so just attack normally and wait for him to kill you. Maybe you COULD kill him, if you levelled enough and really worked for it, but you wouldn't gain anything, so
















MEANWHILE!!1



This reminds me of this video I saw on AFV where there was this kid in a cape and he was lying on a cardboard box and he was like I SENSE TROUBLE and pretended to fly for a moment and then the box just collapsed












Insert Melody of Lute here. Again. IS THAT ALL YOU KNOW OR SOMETHING GOD |<







And the beautiful melody shocked the Dark Elf so much that his finger slipped from the shift key.









Cecil steps back, thus giving you a chance to equip your regular items. Woo!




Aaaand battle. Melody of Lute plays during this.
So you can go ahead and battle the Dark Elf the normal way, just with hacking and slashing and so on, or you can use a method I prefer. You'll see in a minute.




Boss music starts up when he changes. IS EDWARD NOT PLAYING ANYMORE OH GOD WE'RE ALL SCREWED AREN'T WE
Anyway, once he changes, this allows you to do this...




...which should bring his HP down to the single digits...



...which should make the next blow you deal fatal.





Tadah! Just a little trick I like to use |3 Beats having to widdle down his 4000 hit points or however many he has.






blink blink blink






Now to make your way out! The magnetic field is totally lifted at this point, so you're free to wander around and level and pick up any treasure chests you might've missed.






lol, just rode another chocobo back to the castle. SO LAZY















TOOK YOU A MINUTE






NOW THAT'S WHAT I WANNA HEAR



but i already have the crystal






Ohhhh so that's what Cecil could use it for. I don't actually know if you really DO get stronger by holding this, though, since I didn't really notice any difference in random battles and stuff. Whatever :B






I SHALL



om nom nom nom





HEY LET'S SAY HI TO EDWARD EVERYONE i like how we're just taking as long as possible to meet up with Kain.











Aww. Tellah finally has a change of heart.



Take his what?




I like how he's looking at Tellah as he says this. What.




Aaaaaaand then I picked up some supplies in town and stuff. I just imagine Kain and Golbez pacing around and staring at the clock and going THEY SHOULD BE IN THE AIRSHIP BY NOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY'RE NOT THERE YET. BEING LATE FOR THEIR OWN RESCUE MISSION IS JUST... IT'S JUST RUDE








I was actually kind of confused by this at first and thought it was a translation error or something, since Cecil just sort of stood there on the bridge and didn't move or anything.




...then they did this. Oh. 8B.



GASP
WHAT IS THIS MYSTERIOUS PLACE? WHAT COULD BE WAITING FOR US IN THIS PLACE?? THIS PLACE OF MYSTERY???
TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT

HEY GUESS WHAT MY BROTHER'S STAYING UNTIL NOVEMBER 1ST WOOOOOO i'm all excited. He's gonna bring his new girlfriend and stuff, too, which should be interesting. Kinda curious about what she's like and everything. She seems nice from what I've seen, though, a lot more outgoing than Julia and stuff :O Should be fun.

I've been getting all into Princess Tutu, lately. It's actually a very well-done show, I really enjoy it 8D It's also the GRANDMASTER OF CLIFFHANGERS jesus. And I can't even count how many times its made my hair stand on end, just from the way they execute a certain scene or word things and... it's hard to explain. JUST WATCH IT OR SOMETHING. I've been getting the episodes off of Veoh. Apparently they have this new deal where you have to download Veoh TV or whatever to view full videos, and I know that sounds like a pain, but it's worth it. I say you get it, if not for Princess Tutu then for other stuff, since Veoh actually has a pretty darn fair collection of shows and the like :B And it's not like YouTube where everything gets deleted after like a week. So yeah.

I preordered Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations! For those not in the know, if you preorder the game then you get a free Phoenix Wright plushie. HOW CAN YOU RESIST ITS ALLURE whew I'm sure glad I remembered it was through GameStop 'cause I almost ordered from Amazon for a moment, there. THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE. Man, I can't wait for that game.

woo tired

Hahahahahahaha naga. God, its head even kind of looks like something she would draw, if you think about it. The face looks kind of similar and stuff. HMMMMMMMM

You mean Snapesnogger from deviantART? xD I used to watch her a lot. I liked her art and her naga stories and stuff. :B But she was really whiny, I admit, so I couldn't really read her journals much. xD

D: to Zubats. And anything in a game that is similar to a Zubat. a;dfja;dfas stupid zubats. D<

xDDDDD hahahahaha he only talks in caps. THAT'S GREAT. I have this image of him holding a microphone in his hand and screaming at the top of his lungs. xDD

<3 Edward.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

PERHAPS
I actually used to watch her, too, to be honest :B But her stuff sort of... weirded me out after a while. That, and I just got tired of watchin' her. WOO

ZUBATS ARE THE CANCER THAT'S KILLING POKEMON
RIGHT UP THERE WITH TENTACOOLS AND TENTACRUELS

Hahahahahaha someone totally needs to draw that. HMMMMMM

Oh, Edward :D

[melaniedavidson.livejournal.com]

...Now I want waffles, too. Y u do dis? :<

Ohhhh I see how the mountains reformed now. I think. :V

lol, "unknown." I guess nobody heard Kain and Cecil standing in the middle of town going WHAT THE KING GAVE US A PACKAGE OF BOMBS TO BLOW UP ALL THE CALLERS WAIT YOU MEAN HE TRICKED US INTO DELIVERING THIS PACKAGE OF BOMBS TO MIST HEY I THINK THE KING IS EVIL OR SOMETHING SINCE HE JUST HAD US DELIVER THESE BOMBS TO THIS TOWN THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY STANDING IN

Hahahahahahahhahhahahahlkhfd;k cwqslweimc owwwww

Woooaaah okay now that's a good secret passage. :O

So this one isn't a sexy dance then? thank god

"I wonder how much we can actually defend ourselves."
Haha probably not a lot I bet.

That would be a really crappy "combat uniform". I mean, no protection at ALL. Unless it's really tough material... but it still leaves the arms, legs, and head COMPLETELY unprotected.

HEY BABYCAKES, THAT'S A NICE LEOTARD YOU GOT THERE. HOWS ABOUT YOU SHOW ME HOW THAT THANG FITS IN THE BACK, IF YOU KNOWS WHAT I'M SAYINS

Hahahahahhahaahah XD

I mean, what would he even do with it?

No kidding. :B Maybe they just trust him automatically because he's a paladin?

I love how random people know stuff about your inventory items.

They look more blue and purple than black to me but I guess it's just a name. :O

Hahha awesome. :D

OH MY GOD IT'S DAVY JONES wait no

Why do the panthers have... like... tentacles coming out of their heads?

Holy crap talk about the battle sprite not being the same as the regular sprite. :O

Oooohhhhh so I bet it would really suck if you hadn't visited him to get the harp before you went to the cave. Or if you sold the harp or something.

Hey, how'd all your hp get back up? Potions?

So... if you just tell her "yes" earlier.... I mean, she seems pretty trusting about this.

Take his revenge, I guess. :V

Wooooooo ALMOST THERE :D

Oh hey sweet! :D

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHA wait a sec i just realized i forgot to get some while we were at the store yesterday. DANGIT.

OH GOD THAT WOULD BE THE MOST AWKWARD SEXY DANCE EVER CAN YOU IMAGINE I MEAN WITH SOME SHORT GUY AND A PIG AND A FROG RUBBING THEMSELVES ALL OVER YOU AGHGDFGK i wonder if someone did a Rule 34 on this

Yeah, seriously! >O That's one thing that has always kinda bugged me with like 99% of female combat uniforms in games -- they almost always try to make them look all "feminine" without really taking their practicality into account. Like how the female knights in Guild Wars wear these weird dress-type things that leave their arms and legs out in the open, or how Tifa from FF7 wears this tight (leather?) mini-skirt with suspenders when she's supposed to fight using martial arts. IT BUGS ME GRARG

Hahahaha, that's true XD If he weren't then we'd have to go through the whole "BUT YOU ARE A DARK KNIGHT. CAN WE TRUST YOU??" spiel.

Y'KNOW, I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA. I think it's a recurring monster, though, since I remember there being something like it in FF7 :O Except I think those only had one tentacle. I MUST RESEARCH THIS

YEAH I KNOW, HE GOES FROM LIKE THIS GUY IN A BUSINESS SUIT TO SOME NAKED ELF THING. wtf square

You can't sell the harp, thankfully (since god knows I'd probably wind up doing something like this), but yeah, that would suck if you didn't visit him :O I don't know what actually happens since I've never done that, though, so you could get some thing where like... I dunno, you start to leave and some guy runs up like HEY YOU GUYS DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT GUY IN THE INFIRMARY HE SAYS HE'S A PRINCE PRETTY COOL HUH WHY DON'T YOU CHECK IT OUT or something. I'm kinda curious about what happens, now :O :O

Nahh, your HP/MP gets restored once Edward plays the harp :D

Again, I've never done this, so I'm not sure :O HMMMMMM

Hahaha, probably. IS REVENGE ALL YOU THINK ABOUT TELLAH I SWEAR

[melaniedavidson.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Maybe I'll make pancakes tomorrow... Or maybe I'll just be lazy. Yeah, that sounds more likely.

IT WOULD BE OH MY GOD although you know, I just meant like all those women in the game who are all, "Do you want to see me dance?" because I assume it was a sexy dance of a mild kind. ...If they haven't, you may have just spoken it into being. D:

EXACTLY >( women need to protect their organs and limbs too, okay? NOT JUST THEIR NIPPLES.

Weeeeeiiiird. :O

Well that's something, at least. :B Does it give you a message if you try to sell it, or does it just not come up as an option?
Hahahhaha and THAT is why we Talk To Everyone.

Oh, nifty! :D So you don't have to do the boss battle with, like, no hp.

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

I HATE PANCAKES but waffles are delicious. Now I'm just making myself hungry.

WELL yeah that's true 8B I don't think it applies to these guys, thankfully! ALTHOUGH Y'KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, ONE PERSON'S ART IS ANOTHER PERSON'S PORN wait no oh god

YEAH and even then they tend to be kind of barely protected. YOU GUUUUUYYYS

It was greyed out, but I dunno if a box comes up or not :O I'm sure there's some garbled YOU CAN'T SELL THIS message, though. Now I'm kinda curious.

[melaniedavidson.livejournal.com]

HOW CAN YOU HATE PANCAKES I feel like I don't even know you anymore
Unless you mean restaurant pancakes, which are almost always too light, with a poor texture and a more... fake... taste, for some reason.

EXACTLY and given how many people have played the game, the odds are good that someone, somewhere... D:

Ohh, I see. You should check! :D If you have a save, I mean.

[puddinchan.livejournal.com]

is that dancing old guy naked? I also LOLED at his dance-type-thing.

Have fun with your bro. :D

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

Oh, the guy in... Fabul, I think? Haha, probably not, what with Nintendo's censorship and all. THAT WOULD BE HILARIOUS THOUGH 8D Unless you're talking about someone else? :O

IT SHALL BE GRAND INDEEEEEDDDD

[puddinchan.livejournal.com]

In the village of midgets. Those three dancing brothers. Silly~

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

OHHHHHHHHH THAT GUY i think he's wearing like this... leotard or something. Or a swimsuit. what is he wearing that little freak
The pig and frog sure are naked, though. SOMEONE GET NINTENDO IN HERE

[neutraltwin.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, oh Mist. Somehow this giant fire only killed one or two people and left everything else unscathed. Probably doesn't stop Cecil from going HEY GUYS DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THAT TIME I DELIVERED A PACKAGE OF BOMBS TO MIST TO KILL ALL THE CALLERS THE KING GAVE IT TO ME IT WAS A TRAP MAN WHAT A CHUMP I WAS

Edward saves the day woohoo yeah! Despite being so extremely piss-weak Edward is still my favourite character. <3

I always thought that special Pass dance was like, a ten-woman lap dance or something. :O Apparently they were just jumping around?

argh frickin Silver Cave. The only thing you were good for is lots of EXP of those Vampire ladys...I forget how, but I found some really easy way to kill them but NOW I FORGOT :B

DARK ELF TALKS IN CAPS BECAUSE HE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

arhalfhdsf I'd forgotten how much treasure was in the Tororia treasure room $_$

[doxinator.livejournal.com]

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN IT MAN THE WHOLE VILLAGE WAS UP IN FLAMES IT WAS A REAL TRIP I TELL YA

Good old Edward :D YOU SUCK IN COMBAT BUT YOU GOT A GOOD HART. that was almost "a lotta hart," wow

Yeah, I always thought it was supposed to be something like that, too, but the actual lap dancing wasn't animated :B Or it was taken out. WILL THE WORLD EVER KNOOOOWWW hahahaha oh man i wonder if they'll put it in the DS version, that would be awesome

REALLY oooooo might have to look into that

I BET DARK ELF WOULD BE AN INTERNET TOUGH GUY

YESSSSS and those weren't even all the chests 8D delicious treasure nom nom
