I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT THAT PINOCCHIO GUY
lol darkseed 2
TAAAAAAKE OOONNNNNN MEEEEEEEE hey did you know the art style for Hotel Dusk was inspired by this video? It's true. And now whenever I hear that song I just start thinking of Hotel Dusk and giggle.
Otters holding hands, in case there's anyone out there who hasn't seen this yet. Hahahaha, the crowd.
I never get tired of this.
CAN SOMEONE CLOSE THAT CHAMBER OF SECRETS THERE'S A TERRIBLE DRAFT
Hoooo man I'm tired. OH YEAH I have some FFIV-related things I keep forgetting to mention. First of all, here's the intro video for the PSX version. Wanted to wait until we got Edge to show that one :V And jeez, way to spoil all sorts of plot points in the OPENING VIDEO, Square. I know it's an old game and everything, but christ.
Oh yeah, and here's a FFIV DS trailer. Was holding this until we got adult*Rydia :O Also woooo voices.
Aaaaand I was just sorta browsing around when I came across two FFIV remix albums: "Piano Collections" and "Celtic Moon." Both of these are pretty awesome :D I'm especially fond of the Celtic Moon album, but that may be because I have a secret weakness for Celtic stuff. BRB GETTING BOXTY
So anyway hey speaking of FFIV what do you guys say to some more screencaps. When we last left off we ran around the Cave of Eblana, found Eblan's ninja squadron slumming around in alleyways and dealing drugs (WHAT, YOU GUYS DON'T REMEMBER THAT?), got Edge, "fought" Edge's parents (sort of), beat Rubicant, tried to get the crystals and fell down a hole instead, gained ANOTHER aircraft and dubbed it the "Falcon," met up with Cid who put silver on the Falcon and passed out, and then, finally, we told Giott about our crazy adventures and Giott was all like "okay fine just go get the crystal in the Sealed Cave you morons." WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Previous episodes
So this walkthrough I'm looking at was all "go northwest!11" so I did, only to find out that the SYLVAN Cave is over here, not the Sealed Cave. The Sealed Cave is actually southwest. GOD, WALKTHROUGH
Except then I still doofed around for a bit because I dunno :V THERE WERE TREASURE CHESTS IN THAT ROOM, OKAY?
Will talk about the Sylvan Cave some more once we officially get to that part. Because I'm lazy.
GOD I HATE TOAD WITCHES WITH THEIR TOADING AND THEIR GRRRARRRRGG
I got, like, 5500+ EXP for this battle. Which is good, because it was annoying.
ANYWAY after getting mah tresurrz, I set out once again to find the Sealed Cave.
Cecil: Okay, guys! We're here!
Cecil: Wait, whoops. Nevermind. False alarm! :B
Everyone: ...
Heh. Trap.
Cecil: Okay, guys! I got it for sure this time!
Rosa: Just open the door, Cecil.
I forgot how brown this place was.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm pretty sure Illusionary World plays at this point... wait, did I already plug that? I can't remember at all. Uhhhh WELL IF I DID THEN UHH THOSE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T GET IT THE FIRST TIME CAN GET IT NOW! YEAH, THAT'S IT! Pretty sure I didn't, though.
HOW MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF BAT DO WE NEED, SQUARE >(
They sure are huge. Though everything is huge in comparison to the party. BATS are bigger than the party.
Just makes me think of those annoying Internet things.
ALRIIIIIIIGHT now I can take on TrapDoors.
Anyway, Sealed Cave is littered with these things. As you walk through the cave, you'll come across various doors that will LOOK like regular doors, but once you examine them then Cecil will squeal out "trap door!" and you'll go into battle. There are some TrapDoors you HAVE to beat in order to move on, some are guarding rooms with treasure inside, some are guarding rooms with nothing at all. It's up to you whether or not you fight them all or only fight the necessary ones. I like to just go for them all because they give out awesome EXP, and not to mention you can pick up some great treasure from the rooms they're guarding and YOU KNOW HOW I LIKE MY TREASURE.
However, I always make sure that Rosa knows Wall before I fight them. Here's why.
This is all a TrapDoor can do and it is SO ANNOYING omg. The good thing about it, though, is that "Search" lets you know who the TrapDoor is going to attack. This is where Wall comes in.
Tadah! Just cast Wall on whoever the TrapDoor uses Search on, and its attack will reflect right back at it and kill it instantly. Easy EXP. You REALLY have to move fast, though -- quickly make anyone who goes before Rosa use Parry, then as soon as it's Rosa's turn have her cast Wall. You have to act as soon as it's the character's turn, otherwise Disrupt will kick into gear and kill people and you have to waste a turn bringing them back. This can get really annoying if the person in question is Rosa.
Awwwwwww yeeeeeeaaaahhhhh
Ooooooo, Edge is gettin' this one.
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOKE ON THE WAAAAAAATEEEERRRRRRR
This is for Edge. Lets your party escape from a battle immediately upon casting it, without you losing any gold. I never use it, personally :B
NOT BAD AT ALL
Throwin' item.
Yaaaaaay now Edge has matching swords :V
And a helmet!
This room looks suspicious.
...NO TRAP DOORS?
FIRE?
LASERS?
NOTHING???
Something fishy's going on around here. I actually cautiously walked around the room a bit before I took the crystal, expecting to run into a trap of some sort, then waited for a little bit afterwards to see if the screen turned blue or anything. I was totally expecting something to happen here, but I guess not. I'm just so used to these guys having the worst luck imaginable, so the thought that something could actually go well was just surreal.
Then the screen started rumbling. I KNEW IT.
THIS ISN'T GOING TO TURN INTO ANOTHER PALOM AND POROM INCIDENT, IS IT
AUFDHGDGHNDF god that wall creeps me out.
Anyway, EvilWall will just start slowly inching closer and closer to the party, and your job is to kill it before it crushes you to death. Also, it has 19000 HP. FUN TIMES.
I think I had Kain jump, Cecil attack, Edge throw/attack, Rosa buff/Aim, and had Rydia start off using various spells and eventually going with Virus, since the other stuff wasn't doing much.
audhfgdhfg getting closer D:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i managed to catch it while it was attacking. I got two shots of this at different times, actually. i has a gift
crap crap crap i can see the whole thing now
Desperate attempt, here. I don't think it worked.
CRAP
For some reason it doesn't crush your party all at once, and instead just crushes them one at a time. Okay, then.
The screen flashed red whenever it did this, but I didn't get a shot.
Aaaaaaagh. Witness my first death in this runthrough. This is actually pretty good, considering we're almost at the end of the game |B
LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN
OKAY, NO MORE MESSING AROUND. Now that I had a better idea of what I was doing, I was ready to beat this wall fo' real.
I had Cecil attack, Edge throw/attack, had Kain attack since Jump was taking too long and wasn't doing much, had Rydia start using Virus from the get-go, and had Rosa start with casting Haste and stuff like that, but eventually just had her start using Aim since I really needed all the help I could get with this thing.
CRAP NO NO NO AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HUDFGHA MY GOD THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE oh man I seriously did not think I was going to make it that time. If it had killed Rydia instead of Edge that one turn, I would've been dead. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RYDIA <3 PLEASE BE MY WIFE
Haha, would've been nice if Edge and Kain got to join in, here, but I'm really just happy I made it out alive. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I PULLED THAT OFF
YESSSSSSS
"A PETTY TRAP" Edge exclaimed after having a Life Potion poured down his throat
And with nothing else to do, the party heads back out.
...heeeey, wait
Does this room seem... darker to anybody?
Everyone eyes Kain suspiciously.
Kain: *PUNCH*
I KNEW IT, I KNEW GETTING THE CRYSTAL WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. These guys can never be happy.
We got it the first time, Kain.
I just think of Nelson from The Simpsons whenever I see this.
Edge: OH GOOD HEAVENS
CRYSTAL RAVE PARTAAAAAAAYYYYYY oontz oontz oontz oontz
Hahahaha, guess we better swallow our pride and tell the king what happened. Giott is going to feel real secure about entrusting Cecil and the gang with the safety of the world, now.
"Well, Your Majesty, we got all the way into the Crystal Room and I was just about to get the crystals back, but then I fell through a trap door so we had to leave :("
"Um, you see, we went and got the crystal at the Sealed Cave and everything, like you asked, but just as we were leaving Kain got possessed and punched me in the face and took it :(
It really hurt :("
UHHHHHH WELLLLLLL
How do people keep doing that in this game
ONE TO BE BORN
FROM A DRAGON
HOISTING THE LIGHT
AND THE DARK
ARISES HIGH UP
IN THE SKY TO
THE STILL LAND.
VEILING THE MOON WITH
THE LIGHT OF ETERNITY,
IT BRINGS
ANOTHER PROMISE
TO MOTHER EARTH WITH
A BOUNTY AND MERCY.
You could always go in through the ground floor and take the elevator.
...just sayin'.
CIIIIIIDDDDD were you just eavesdropping on the whole conversation
OH BOY ANOTHER HILARIOUS AIRSHIP REMODELING SCENE
Edge: ;-)
Also wtf Rydia, just shove her out of the way why don't you
Cid: GET OVER HERE
Edge: NOOOOOO LET ME HIT ON HOT CHICKS NOOOOOO
They start jumping and spinning in the air at each other for a while. I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE ARGUING
...that has got to be the biggest sissy fight I've ever seen.
Cid just went over to Cecil and started nodding and I forgot what Cecil did. Who knows :V
GOD CID, NOT AGAIN |< THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS
Aww. That kind of depresses me for some reason.
Tenderly, making sure it feels loved without feeling like a whore. Unless Cid is implying that he has the ability to attach hooks to himself so he can carry hovercrafts and fly at the same time. I need to stop this train of thought immediately.
And the people in the Underworld aren't too shabby, either! Makes me think of when you go to Hell in Legend of Mana and everyone there is all nice.
That is now my new catchphrase.
Oh yeah, turns out that you actually CAN choose how many items you buy at a time. All you do is select "10" and press the up or down buttons. And, of course, I take nearly the whole game to discover this, since buying items is really complex and everything. Derp!
WOO YEAH A DRILL
At this point, you have two choices: drill your way to the upper world and continue with the plot, or do a bunch of side-quests so you can get powerful summons and equips and things. GUESS WHICH ONE WE'RE GONNA DO???
If you guessed "do a bunch of side-quests," then you are correct!
We're not gonna get all old, are we
Right, so you can't walk on the floor in this dungeon. Well, you can, but the floor is really hot or something and does like 50 points of damage to the whole party with each step. So have Rosa cast Float on the whole party. The annoying thing about that is that you have to re-cast Float every time you change floors, so it can suck if you forget about it or don't know. Not like I did anything like that on my first playthrough, of course. cough.
But yeah, THIS is why I was so excited about getting Float beforehand. I remember playing the GBA version and not having Float by the time I got to this... actually, more like when I went to a different cave that had this same system, BUT ANYWAY I didn't have Float, and I was way underlevelled and didn't feel like training, so I just bought an epic amount of Hi Potions and slogged through :B One cool thing I learned is that even if your HP gets real low from walking on the floor, you can't actually die from it. So you could actually just run through, flee from all your battles, use Phoenix Downs and maybe heal once and a while just to be safe, and you could make it. I think that's more or less what I did, actually.
Really, though, it's better to just get Float.
OH PFFFFT, IMPS. You complete failure.
God I hate Fiends.
Heh. Red Eye.
See, now that's more like it!
Got this at some point. FINALLY MOVING ON TO LEVEL 3 SPELLS YESSSSSS
Another cool thing about Float is that Quake doesn't work on you :B I remember trying to go through this dungeon, still without Float, and I was running around with like 1 HP and thought I was actually going to make it through, and then I suddenly ran into a monster and it casted Quake and I died. I WAS SO MAD I think I turned the game off at that point in sheer frustration
Man, I keep reading that as "Hoohooligan." GET OUT OF MY BRAIN SUPERSTAR SAGA
"Clapper" is probably the best name for a monster ever.
arrrrggggghhh
NICE REWARD, THOUGH
Found this at some point. Yes I like showing off my stats okay shut up.
Oh hey, a warp pad.
OH HEY, A TOWN.
There was a lot of gold stashed all over the place, which was cool. No I don't have a problem
YEAH YEAH WHATEVER HEY A RAT TAIL YESSSS
So I think Rydia might be kind of well-known here what do you guys think :B
OH SCREW YOU
HA HA OH U 2 R SO HILARIUS
I imagine "your friends" being said in a distinct tone of distaste
HEY, KIDS
But what if you're just interviewing him for a newspaper or something? :<
Apparently BlueGuy doesn't care if PurpleGuy talks, then. Unless BlueGuy actually WAS talking to PurpleGuy, and PurpleGuy is just sitting there shouting THIS IS A GREAT BOOK over and over.
HI RYDIA
...HI RYDIA
...y'know, I'm just imagining all of this being said in the Pokedex voice
What the heck, what kind of encyclopedia is this. CHOCOBO IS THE BEST SUMMON EVER BECAUSE IT'S SO KAWAII OMG =^_______^= SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! xD xD xD
HINT HINT: VISIT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY TODAY
Is it just me, or is "Sylphs, the gentle, frail" not even a sentence?
Haha, yeah, I imagine that would put someone out of commission.
cough leviatan cough
We have Inuyasha does that count :(
Jeez, way to give away his weakness, there.
This is the most surreal textbox in video game history.
So anyway, that's enough rigorous studying for now. Let's move on!
Okay.
So what is Rydia, then?
Huh, the dwarves said this, too. Again, I had no trouble using anything at all.
ALRIGHT ALREADY, WE'RE GETTING HER PERMISSION
o king u r so clevar
This was the first thing she did, before I had a chance to attack. GREAT WORK, QUEEN
Anyway, she'll keep casting Cure3, Cure4, and Life on herself until you do something about it. We will in a sec.
She'll also BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU OW
As soon as it's Rosa's turn, have her cast Wall on Asura. This will reflect her healing spells onto your party, thus giving you a huge advantage. DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CHALLENGE YOU INDEED
Once you've done this, just resort to the usual pummeling method.
Yaaaay :D Once you summon her she'll heal or revive your party, or she'll attack the enemy. Very useful, especially if Rosa's healing spells aren't enough. It's sort of a gamble, though.
Talkin' with the kiiiiinnnggggg
Leviatan is a bit tougher, so you really have to put on the drills for this one you guys. For one thing, he'll start the battle off with Big Wave, putting you at a disadvantage.
AND he'll keep casting Ice2 on you, which does a lot of damage and is annoying and sucks.
Anyway, Cecil should attack, Edge should use Blitz until he runs out of MP, Rosa should heal, and Rydia should use Lit2 or Indra.
You'll beat him before long :D
YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
We are now free to leave this place!
HEY THE DRILL WORKS YOU GUYS :B
Anyway hey you guys remember picking up that rat tail, right. And you remember that guy who had some "funny ore" right. Right.
Also lol, Cecil leaving his various aircrafts and junk lying all over the place.
...y'know, I just realized how completely creepy this is. Ewwww.
Here's your tail or something you freak.
OKAY SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW YOU GUYS
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO ONCE WE HAVE THIS, RIGHT
BECAUSE IF YOU PICKED ANYTHING OTHER THAN "GO FLY TO THE DESOLATE REGIONS OF THE UNDERWORLD WHERE A MICROSCOPIC BUT OTHERWISE PLAIN-LOOKING HOUSE IS" THEN YOU'RE WRONG, BY THE WAY
AND IT'S UP TO US TO BRING IT BACK, YEEEAAAAHH
but first :3
I like how the sleeping icon is still over his head
oh
you mean this old thing
He started jumping and spinning all over the place, but I decided to leave it like this because it kind of looks like he's so happy that he just starts floating around the room and down the stairs. It's funny, shut up.
...is it even possible to have two "greatest blacksmiths"?
I'LL JUST BE TAKING THIS
And with that, I must bring this episode to a close. Sorry this one is so short, but I'm about to pass out all over the keyboard so I thought I should call it a night.
SO, WHAT AWAITS CECIL AND CO. NEXT?!?!!? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
Wow, really close to the end, here. This actually went by a bit faster than I thought it would, heh.
I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT THAT PINOCCHIO GUY
lol darkseed 2
TAAAAAAKE OOONNNNNN MEEEEEEEE hey did you know the art style for Hotel Dusk was inspired by this video? It's true. And now whenever I hear that song I just start thinking of Hotel Dusk and giggle.
Otters holding hands, in case there's anyone out there who hasn't seen this yet. Hahahaha, the crowd.
I never get tired of this.
CAN SOMEONE CLOSE THAT CHAMBER OF SECRETS THERE'S A TERRIBLE DRAFT
Hoooo man I'm tired. OH YEAH I have some FFIV-related things I keep forgetting to mention. First of all, here's the intro video for the PSX version. Wanted to wait until we got Edge to show that one :V And jeez, way to spoil all sorts of plot points in the OPENING VIDEO, Square. I know it's an old game and everything, but christ.

HI RYDIA
...HI RYDIA
...y'know, I'm just imagining all of this being said in the Pokedex voice
What the heck, what kind of encyclopedia is this. CHOCOBO IS THE BEST SUMMON EVER BECAUSE IT'S SO KAWAII OMG =^_______^= SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! xD xD xD
HINT HINT: VISIT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY TODAY
Is it just me, or is "Sylphs, the gentle, frail" not even a sentence?
Haha, yeah, I imagine that would put someone out of commission.
cough leviatan cough
We have Inuyasha does that count :(
Jeez, way to give away his weakness, there.
This is the most surreal textbox in video game history.
So anyway, that's enough rigorous studying for now. Let's move on!
Okay.
So what is Rydia, then?
Huh, the dwarves said this, too. Again, I had no trouble using anything at all.
ALRIGHT ALREADY, WE'RE GETTING HER PERMISSION
o king u r so clevar
This was the first thing she did, before I had a chance to attack. GREAT WORK, QUEEN
Anyway, she'll keep casting Cure3, Cure4, and Life on herself until you do something about it. We will in a sec.
She'll also BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU OW
As soon as it's Rosa's turn, have her cast Wall on Asura. This will reflect her healing spells onto your party, thus giving you a huge advantage. DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CHALLENGE YOU INDEED
Once you've done this, just resort to the usual pummeling method.
Yaaaay :D Once you summon her she'll heal or revive your party, or she'll attack the enemy. Very useful, especially if Rosa's healing spells aren't enough. It's sort of a gamble, though.
Talkin' with the kiiiiinnnggggg
Leviatan is a bit tougher, so you really have to put on the drills for this one you guys. For one thing, he'll start the battle off with Big Wave, putting you at a disadvantage.
AND he'll keep casting Ice2 on you, which does a lot of damage and is annoying and sucks.
Anyway, Cecil should attack, Edge should use Blitz until he runs out of MP, Rosa should heal, and Rydia should use Lit2 or Indra.
You'll beat him before long :D
YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
We are now free to leave this place!
HEY THE DRILL WORKS YOU GUYS :B
Anyway hey you guys remember picking up that rat tail, right. And you remember that guy who had some "funny ore" right. Right.
Also lol, Cecil leaving his various aircrafts and junk lying all over the place.
...y'know, I just realized how completely creepy this is. Ewwww.
Here's your tail or something you freak.
OKAY SO WHAT DO WE DO NOW YOU GUYS
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO ONCE WE HAVE THIS, RIGHT
BECAUSE IF YOU PICKED ANYTHING OTHER THAN "GO FLY TO THE DESOLATE REGIONS OF THE UNDERWORLD WHERE A MICROSCOPIC BUT OTHERWISE PLAIN-LOOKING HOUSE IS" THEN YOU'RE WRONG, BY THE WAY
AND IT'S UP TO US TO BRING IT BACK, YEEEAAAAHH
but first :3
I like how the sleeping icon is still over his head
oh
you mean this old thing
He started jumping and spinning all over the place, but I decided to leave it like this because it kind of looks like he's so happy that he just starts floating around the room and down the stairs. It's funny, shut up.
...is it even possible to have two "greatest blacksmiths"?
I'LL JUST BE TAKING THIS
And with that, I must bring this episode to a close. Sorry this one is so short, but I'm about to pass out all over the keyboard so I thought I should call it a night.
SO, WHAT AWAITS CECIL AND CO. NEXT?!?!!? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!
Wow, really close to the end, here. This actually went by a bit faster than I thought it would, heh.
