Let's Play Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest

[Slothy]

Since most people probably haven't played the most under appreciated game Square ever made, why not watch as I play through it for you? Complete with my usual charming lack of wit.

41215
Yes, this game did come out AFTER Final Fantasy IV.

41216
Dude, all my stuff was there.

41217
That's not an answer!

41218
The flying cloud only seats one.

41219
Could have sworn there was a mountain there.

41220
Mountain's collapsing beneath us? Must be story time.

41221
There's no caption for this one. It's really just here for completeness. Though Vile 4 will totally be the name of my new band.

41222
I bet you say that to all the confused young men on collapsing mountains.

41223
It was nice of the mountain to stop collapsing long enough for you to explain all this.

4122441225
Not sure I'm going to like where this is going.

41226
I'm not even sure I'm going to make it off this mountain if you keep yammering like this.

41228
I ran into you on a collapsing mountain after all. What more proof do you need?

41229
We could have been gone by now.

41230
Sure, this doesn't look one sided at all.

41231
You can't see it, but I wiggle my butt to distract my enemy.

41232
Not so tough without your horns!

41233
Oh trout, he found the horns! He found the horns!

41234
Huh, guess I'm not the Hero of Destiny.

For the record, I didn't even know it was possible to lose this first battle, but here we are one critical hit later.

41235
Sure, just give me a sec to put my insides back on the inside.

41236
Seconds later and a more favourable result.

41237
Dude, I smurfing died back there.

41238
He does seem to be a poor judge of character.

41239
Son of a bitch!

[Slothy]

41240
Cough 'em up old man!

41241
SON OF A BITCH!

41242
Can I assume some leveling will be involved?

41243
Yeah, we're confused too kid.

41244
Spoiler alert: you probably never find out.

41245
In the leveling forest we find another needy old guy shoving his problems onto someone else.

41246
Don't feel obligated to step aside or anything. I'll just jump over you instead.

41247
Foresta? They thought long and hard about that name.

41248
Whoah old man! Keep it in your pants.

41249
Not sure if euphemism...

41250
Foresta: where people quite literally live in trees.

41251
This is Kaeli and there's a tree in the forest.

41252
She's the trusting sort.

41253
First reasonable thing someone's said all game long.

41254
I've had enough of your jibber jabber.

41255
Should have seen the guy who gave it to me.

41256
Yeah, it's not like you hollow them out for your homes or anything.

41257
Just running off to a dangerous forest with a stranger who showed me an old man's wither. I'll be back by 9:00.

41258
And she's got more health than me and a big axe. Is that old guy really sure I'm this knight of legend?

41259
And any concern for her daughter has melted away.

41260
Yeah, he might get a bit of a sunburn without his cap. That might hurt a bit. And don't get me started on the peeling.

41261
Is it stealing if Kaeli's with me?

41262
Just adding some speed holes to the sheets so the bed will go faster. Don't you know anything Flanders?

41263
Yeah, and I'm a hero of legend.

41264
Finally got a line on the loot.

[Slothy]

41265
Don't mind me. Just sneaking in the back to help myself to some provisions. Try not to break a limb before I get this back to you.

41266
It only took several decades.

41267
Ah great, even the young hotty is crazy. Probably should be a bit more careful when picking up traveling companions. Especially when they carry a giant axe.

41268
Will you be joining me? I mean, I kind of have this thing going with this other girl but I've heard she's a little off balance if you know what I me- *axe to the head*

41269
Am I the only one who hasn't heard this prophecy?

41270
Guess it's time to chop some trees and start some fires.

That's it for now. You'll be pleased to know that we're through like, 1% of the game. On the plus side though, we're through about 25% of the useful exposition. Yes, I am serious. Join me next time when we continue on through the Level Forest and head to the bone dungeon to save the Earth Crystal. I know that's what's coming because some old people told me.

[Formalhaut]

Never heard of this game, like, ever.

However, I find your commentary entirely amusing and witty (And sarcastic. Love sarcasm) so I shall keep watching! Also, two free rep points for you!

[Greatermaximus]

I know I need a better vocabulary but that's what I call self-incrimination/indoctrination.

[Pumpkin]

This is great, I look forward to reading more.

41303
More effective than poking it with my sword.

41304
I seem to recall hearing about this north exit not two minutes ago. From you no less.

41305
Square demonstrating their racial sensitivity.

41306
Kaeli kills one outright while I just wound the second. There's an old guy on a cloud I should introduce her to I think.

41307
These blobs like to practice their dance moves. This was 1992 so we may be dealing with New Kids on the Block. Either way I'll still poke them with my sword.

41308
The old mans withered tree is glowing. He might want to see a specialist.

41309
And here I just thought it was happy to see me.

41310
Chop it down and a cow pops out. You can't make this stuff up.

41311
You got me. I did not see that coming.

41312
What did I say about seeing a specialist?

41313
41314
This battle was over so fast these were the only screenshots I got.

41315
Tree syphilis.

41316
41317
We all know where this is going.

41318
Sure, because I'm all about making reasonable decisions.

41319
Good idea. I might run into some trees that need chopping in that sand temple.

41320
There was a box I couldn't get to in Foresta earlier, but now that I have an axe...

41321
I can find out there's nothing useful in it.

41322
Not a single monster in the sand temple? At the chest already? Everything's coming up Viv-

41323
SON OF A BITCH!

41324
I'm in the sand temple opening the box that's supposed to have Elixir in it. A regular Sherlock Holmes this one.

41325
You'll address me by my formal title peasant.

41326
This is 1992. That sort of GP doesn't grow on trees until at least 1994.

41327
Kaeli's not THAT hot.

[Slothy]

41328
A true salesman sticks to his guns.

41329
Are we even pretending I'm a hero of legend at this point? And since my village was technically destroyed my allowance is now limited to what I pillage from the corpses of my enemies.

41330
Okay, but I don't do anal.

41331
Sounds perfectly safe guy I just met.

41332
41333
Does any of us really have a choice or are all of our actions as pre-determined as the programming of this game. Deep philosophical questions being raised here.

41334
8 o'clock. I do my killing after breakfast.

41335
Risking our lives on a maybe? Totally reasonable.

41336
Vivi Von Fancy Pants to my friends.

41337
Interesting choice of Ninja name.

41338
Time to fight. See you on the other side.

41339
I'm as shocked as you are.

41340
I cleaned out a battlefield and all I got were some stupid levels.

41341
Another battlefield cleared and a whopping +1 to my defense obtained. Frankly, I'm surprised a necklace offers that much protection.

41342
Entering bone dungeon. Sounds pleasant.

41343
I wonder what these funny bird looking dudes look like up close.

41344
not very bird like apparently.

41345
Desert dungeon? Time for the obligatory Dune reference. Because nothing can survive the deep desert except the worm.

41346
A chest I can't reach? I'm guessing I'll have to come back here soon.

41347
41348
Sell bombs to a kid? Anything to make a buck.

41349
Does anyone actually say no?

41350
We were literally in the same room as the blocked chest when he sold me the bombs.

41351
You mean I've been walking around being a legendary knight with no shield? Scandalous!

41352
I don't even have a caption for this. These guys are just freaky looking.

[Slothy]

41353
With modern pharmacology these skeletons shouldn't have to suffer from a case of floppy sword.

41354
First bit of black magic.

41355
Attack the big red monster head on? STRATEGY!

41356
The Behemoth that killed me at the start of the game would beg to differ.

41357
And I have Quake magic. Something you happen to take a lot of damage from. Yeah, that's legit.

41358
I don't remember seeing one of these in Jurassic Park.

41359
Tristam sleeping on the job.

41360
The thing exploding on me right now is a rib. I don't think that even needs a funny caption.

41361
Almost there.

41362
41363
Everyone knows crystals are secretly worthless.

41364
Now he can molest me from across the room.

41365
A man of his word.

41366
He gets a grappling hook and I get a coin. Fuck you Tristam.

41367
Another companion leaves. I'll probably stumble on another faster than you can say Doctor Who.

41368
Maybe they wouldn't leave if I showered after a battle.

And we'll leave it there for today. But as one final thing to leave you with, be sure to play these while I'm fighting a battle or a boss:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOTI8j1egZg

You won't regret it.

[Citizen Bleys]

This thread is better than the actual game.

Not that that takes much.

[NeoCracker]

The game is aweful, I'd certianly hope any thread created here is better then it. :p

But yes, this is priceless. XD

[Slothy]

This game is amazing and you're all going to hell.

41475
Back to Forest town.

41476
I guess those old people weren't senile after all. Or old people.

41477
Now now, don't rush me.

41478
Poor thing's delirious. Either that or she didn't expect me to come back alive.

Note to self: keep an eye on Kaeli...

41479
Just recovered from a deadly poison? Time for an adventure.

41480
I don't want your tree syphilis. You can stay here.

41481
Square had a thing for towers in the 90's. I wonder what Freud would say?

41482
This old guy again. Captain Mac is the dude who forgot his hat. I highly doubt some hatless loser will be important to my quest.

41483
Lucky for you there's precisely one Phoebe in the entire world.

41484
Sorry dude, I had plans.

41485
Finding important characters while following the main quest? Yeah right pal!

41486
It doesn't actually say so, but the Sand Coin opened this door. I guess it wasn't totally useless after all. But it certainly is now.

41487
Finally starting to live up to my name.

41488
Lush green plants and arctic Tundra separated by a tower. Make sense. It's like how Florida is on the Canadian border.

41489
The arrows say I can't go any farther. Guess they want me to go here.

41490
Dancing in a cave. Odd place to find a stripper.

41491
She makes a hell of a first impression.

41492
At least some old guy didn't hand you his wither.

41493
I asked her about Spencer. Sometimes the game keeps the last speech bubble on screen, other times it doesn't. It's frustrating when I'm trying to cut down on the number of screenshots.

41494
Luck and careful plotting.

41495
smurf him, let him die.

41496
I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's Phoebe from Aquaria.

41497
Now for Fridays lottery numbers.

41498
Nothing says helpful like forcing yourself on a woman.

41499
Not that she seems to mind.

[Slothy]

41500
41501
Not very aquatic.

41502
Your grandmother got pneumonia? She's probably going to die kid.

41503
Physics!

41504
Invisible monsters? Sure kid.

41505
We waited until we got to her house to ask the obvious.

41506
He was digging under your house? And he can't get out? Phoebe, I'd say he's dead.

41507
I didn't listen to the dying Grandma.

41508
41509
Sounds nice and convoluted.

41510
Sorry, I was staring at your boobs.

41511
Wait, what's this place called when it's not frozen solid?

41512
You'll note that when blinded our heroes turn their backs to the enemy to make sure they don't peek in the spirit of fair play.

41513
I honestly thought this spelling was wrong until I typed wintry into Firefox and it didn't smack my knuckles with a ruler.

41514
Hedgehog's with icicle coloured spines in the Wintry Cave I get. But why the fuck are there scorpions here?

41515
Not only did they do a lot of pallete swaps in this game, but they only changed one letter in the name. These worms also use an attack called quicksand. I shit you not.

41516
Might have been useful info before I fell down the cliff.

41517
No that's fine: give me the claw and I'LL carry you out. Interesting side note, Phoebe's bow does almost twice as much damage as the claw did. Why was she using the claw at all?

And that's it for today. A bit shorter than usual, but I did clear out four battlefields as well as getting all of this done. Just as well too since my internet connection decided to be a dick and took at least six minutes to upload the photos for this post. I have Fibreop so even accepting that it was being bogged down by something I still can't believe it took that long.

[NeoCracker]

This is some serious Ballz to the wallz action.

[Formalhaut]

This is definitely good to watch. I love your witty humour.

Better than the absolutely hideous dialogue in the game.

[Slothy]

Sorry for the delay folks. I've been a bit busy/sick lately. I'm going to try and do an update every weekday from here on though until it's done.

41788

And we're at the boss. Does it seem sudden to you? That's probably because absolutely nothing interesting happened between where we left off and here.

41789

Hey guys! I think I found Shorty's next tattoo!

41790

Nothing says fuck off and die like Lightning to the face.

41791

Lightning: it slices, it dices. But wait! There's more!

41792

I hate reusing a joke. Why'd I have to blow my load early with that crack about modern pharmacology a few updates ago?

41793

Wait a second, we haven't even opened the chest yet. How can you already know what's inside...

Can... can you see my underwear right now?

41794

These puzzles practically solve themselves.

41795

Phew. Man am I glad she didn't say murder temple.

41796

Jokes on her. I'm not wearing any underwear.

41797

I get that they're not the popular societal vision of attractiveness, but it still seems a bit mean to call them hags. Obvious joke about deserts and frozen wastelands averted.

41798

The spring must be lined with lead.

41799

Thank god! I was worried she'd been drinking sand all of these years.

41800

She is the least positive person I've ever met.

41801

I can sense someone watching us. Is this what it was like for you when you were getting dressed this morning?

41802

I've been a step behind this guy all game long. I bet he doesn't know that the frozen wasteland isn't supposed to be frozen.

41803

Always a step ahead. Damn him!

Wakewater? Pouring water on frozen objects and plant life to thaw them out huh? Physics!

41804

I'm considering leaving her behind. Can I have Kaeli back? She was poisoned by an evil tree and still wanted to come kick some ass with me.

41805

The old guy's sick of her silly bullshit too.

41806

"I was going to use it to make some tea, but if you insist."

41807

If you don't, I really might have to kill her.

41808

I hope you like eating a leaf. Because it's either that or some Hags.

41809

She took that remarkably well.

41810

I'm not actually sure how I know this.

41811

Wait. Before you go to the Ice Pyramid, you should beat this totally unrelated dungeon we arbitrarily placed in your path.

And that's it for today. I would have done more, but most of today was spent fighting enemies, and almost none of that is worth taking a picture of.

[Citizen Bleys]

I don't see what people have against the murder temple. It's actually a very nice place. The housekeeping is superlative.

[drotato]

hahaha, omg this is great. So much more entertaining than the actual game. xD

[Slothy]

41828

41829

I remember always screwing up the pushing of these blocks as a kid. Will I do any better 20 years later?

No, I don't think so either.

41830

Ahhh! It's a talking box.

41831

Important items are always in treasure chests.

41832

Called it.

41833

Insert PS3 joke here.

41834

Just going out on a limb here, but I'd guess the Snow Crab is weak against Fire.

41835

Or not. This game is breaking all of the rules.

41836

It's not such a fan of lightning to the face though.

41837

You've been holding out on me?

41838

This would have been useful information a dungeon ago.

41839

Another battlefield. Be thankful you guys don't have to watch me beat these.

41840

This screenshot is probably a good place for a knowledge break. At this point, I'd been hit by confusion at least two dozen times. Want to know what it did all of those times? At best I hit the enemy with an attack I wouldn't normally. At worst, they literally did nothing. I was honestly starting to wonder if Confusion had any real downside aside from not attacking.

Then I went to the Ice Pyramid where Lamia encounters are frequent and on at least three occasions I almost died, and one time did die. And that was three or four times in a row. In the easiest game you will ever play. A game where I hadn't died since a bad luck critical from a Behemoth in the first battle. Go figure.

41841

Ice Pyramid. It's about damn time.

41842

No sensible adventurer would fight monsters in heels.

41843

Don't worry; I come fully equipped...

41844

With a handy dandy sword. Get your minds out of the gutter.

41845

No monsters in sight? This'll be easy!

41846

Oh god! They're invisible!

41847

I have to walk all the way around and hit that switch? God damn it!

41848

Noble? Ironic armour might be more like it.

41849

Three new weapons and one piece of armour since I came to Aquaria. This place is really dragging on.

41850

You can't see it, but his pecs are bouncing up and down.

41851

Impressive since he's made of ice.

41852

Is it too much to hope he's weak against Fire? Find out in a few minutes.

[Slothy]

41853

Holy shit! Fire works!

41854

Almost there...

41855

Another crystal saved.

41856

Abandon me in a dungeon filled with invisible monsters? I hate you Phoebe.

41857

You mean the one who froze to death under your house?

41858

All of the ice melted. Except the ice pyramid. I don't get it either.

41859

Aquaria is looking much better.

41860

Why are you not more concerned?!

41861

And how is this under her house?!

41862

It doesn't end!

41863

WHY ISN'T HE DEAD?!

41864

Seriously; how long have you been stuck here and why haven't you left?

41865

Yet here I stand shieldless...

41866

So in other words it isn't here?

41867

I remember because I've only met 8 people with actual names so far.

41868

41869

He can't just walk across the lake bed then?

41870

So instead of walking across a lake bed, you dug out the foundation of your house trying to go straight through the Earth? Yep, that makes sense.

41871

Wait, so we're not digging to the ship?

41872

So your "by the way" is the actual bit of information that leads me to the next crystal? Fuck you pal. Fuck you...

41873

Welp, back to Focus Tower...

On Monday that is. :p

[Citizen Bleys]

I have a tunnel like that under my house.

It's filled with starving wolves, though

[Formalhaut]

Still loving it, but what are those white squares I keep on seeing?

[Citizen Bleys]

What white squares? I don't see any white squares.

[Formalhaut]

41878
I'm seeing these white squares on every screenshot. Could just be me though. :)

[Karifean]

I have them too. Though the strange thing is they weren't there at first, they only recently started showing up.

[Citizen Bleys]

41878
I'm seeing these white squares on every screenshot. Could just be me though. :)

Nope, still not seeing any white squares.


I have them too. Though the strange thing is they weren't there at first, they only recently started showing up.

LSD has that effect.

[Slothy]

There are some attachment issues with the forum right now. I made the resident staff responsible for fixing such things aware of the white squares in this thread since I'm seeing them too. We'll see what happens, but in the meantime, posting it as attachments, even with the white squares, is significantly faster for me than using a hosting site and [IMG] tags. So I'll keep doing it this way, and fix things once attachments are working properly again if I have to.

These already take me an an hour and a half or two hours for each update as it is (between playing, taking screenshots and posting), and fixing it later will still save me more time in the long run.

[Citizen Bleys]

So what, not one person is going to play along with my joke? :(

[Slothy]

It's late and I'm tired so your joke went right over my head. Sorry Bleys.

[Citizen Bleys]

*dramatic pose*

And now I shall ne'er be able to make Formal think he's gone mad evermore, for verily he doth be on his guard now. Curses and consternation!

[Formalhaut]

*dramatic pose*

And now I shall ne'er be able to make Formal think he's gone mad evermore, for verily he doth be on his guard now. Curses and consternation!

Haha! Your plan is foiled! *Dramatic flourish with a cape*

[Slothy]

Apologies for the lateness of this update. I've been busy as hell lately so I haven't found the time to update until now. Luckily though, I've still been playing almost everyday so this is going to be a big update.

41987

New shield.

41988

This old guy again.

41989

I keep hearing about Captain Mac only to find out he isn't important right now.

41990

Could you just tell me for once?

41991

Got a new spell too.

41992

This is what the statue was for.

41993

I passed five battlefields on the way here. Sometimes I hate this game.

41994

This is a flashing neon sign. Add it to the list of things that make no sense in this game.

41995

Tristam is here and contributing nothing of value at the moment. How did he get here with the Focus Tower locked though?

41996

A locked door? Bet I open it in under 10 minutes.

41997

Nothing in the game told me he was Reuben. I can only assume my character noticed he had the only unique sprite in town too.

41998

The end of the world will have to wait. My dad's in trouble.

41999

You've never met me before and I did barge into your house uninvited, but a man on a cloud told me to help you.

42000

Your dad is James Franco?

42001

His dads friend is behind the locked door by the way.

42002

Told ya so.

42003

I'm an expert at breaking and entering.

42004

Or not...

42005

Luckily I know a guy who is that just happens to be in town.

42006

"We want to break into a guys house."
"Okay."

42007

Don't let the name fool you; this is probably the only time we'll use this.

42008

You didn't just run, you ran and hid and locked the door. Some friend.

42009

So I heard.

42010

I assume there's a secret technique? Perhaps an arcane initiation ritual or blood sacrifice?

42011

Well fuck.

[Slothy]

42012

That was stupidly easy.

42013

Is a mine really abandoned if it's full of monsters?

42014

This guy has a teleporter in his basement for some reason. I can't use it yet though.

42015

The names in this game... I swear.

42016

Best Blizzard spell in the series.

42017

A thunder spell of my own means I hopefully won't need Pheobe ever again.

42018

Can't pass that up.

42019

I'm a viking!

42020

Wait, the boulders over there.

42021

Conveyer belts and mining buckets. Say what you will about this game, but the level design actually gets surprisingly complex as you go along.

42022

Some of the games wonderful palette swaps. It's doubtful that this is the last time I'll see skeletons with floppy swords.

42023

These enemies are called zombies. They're also startlingly fast because I miss them a lot when I attack. Nothing about this makes sense.

42024

I'm rolling in new gear now. Sadly this is the last new weapon I'll get until I head after the Air Crystal.

42025

Boss time.

42026

He seems shocked that I killed his friends.

42027

Doing a poor job of vanishing like a ninja.

42028

The world map would disagree sir.

42029

Careful or you'll put an eye out.

42030

Reuben stealing my thunder. Not literally though since he's a terrible mage.

42031

No, you stole my bomb and you did it. Asshole!

42032

I'll just stand quietly over here. My name's chopped liver by the way.

42033

You mean we're not sending him up the volcano first? We don't even know if it's safe yet.

42034

Aha! You can see me after all.

42035

I never would have thought of that.

42036

Quick stop at a temple.

[Slothy]

42037

What?

42038

Nothing of value in the temple. Back to Fireburg.

42039

And I forgot to get a screenshot of what he said right after this. I don't remember what it was, but that's because it was of absolutely no value.

42040

Time to climb the volcano.

42041

The fuck are these?

42042

Three headed dogs? I should have known.

42043

Don't let the flag fool you. These dogs need to be put down.

42044

You won't find any Black in this game. Is that racist?

42046

Smoke and Ash can only mean one thing: more invisible enemies. Yay!

42045

For some reason the ash disappeared as I went higher.

42047

Now I'll be able to navigate through the smoke in sty... well, I'll be able to navigate through the smoke.

42048

I'm at the top, but I don't think Square knows what an active volcano is supposed to look like.

42049

For a Medusa she doesn't look half bad.

42050

I take it back.

42051

Not as threatening without her snake hair.

42052

Last stop on the way to the Fire Crystal.

42053

The fuck?

And that's it for today. I may or may not get an update done tomorrow. I'm playing a talent show in the evening and may take the time to run through my bands set list a few times instead. So more to come either tomorrow or Monday.

[Formalhaut]

I do find the sprites changing at they get damaged an interesting little feature.

[Jowy]

I love this thread so much.

I love this thread so much.

And I, for my part, do second the motion. Never change, V22, thou'rt a credit to our fair province

[Slothy]

That is awesome Spooniest.

Thanks guys.

And someone has to be a credit to this province. There aren't many reasons to like it aside from EOFF members and LP's of terrible games. :exdee:

On a side note. I'm thinking of recording my LP's in the future since I want to do more. Probably wouldn't record for longer RPG's, but I wanted to ask if there's much interest in me doing that. It may or may not be a bit more work, but I think it could work quite well with certain titles.

[Citizen Bleys]

As long as it remains funny

[Formalhaut]

Vivi, your humour while doing these rival actual comedians. Never change that. It's positively lovely. :D

Can't wait to hear the end of this tale. I wonder what game you could do next? I have an idea: The World Ends With You. The game is ripe for your brand of humour.

[Slothy]

Thanks Formal. I've been a bit distracted since my copy of Heart of the Swarm came this week, but I'll be getting back to this next week. I think I'll revise my plan of updating everyday though. I'll still play everyday, but some days are taken up by just grinding through battlefield so nothing happens worth updating for. I'll shoot for two or three updates a week instead.

I'm not sure what I'll play next, though the World Ends With You might be a good one if there's a decent DS emulator out there. I never played it actually so that could be fun.

[Formalhaut]

I'm not sure what I'll play next, though the World Ends With You might be a good one if there's a decent DS emulator out there. I never played it actually so that could be fun.

The reason I suggest TWEWY is because almost all of the cast are either teenagers or young adults. Knowing how teenagers behave, you can mock them to their graves. It would be brilliant!

[the_best_noob]

Im pretty sure there are a few good GBA+DS emulators.

[Slothy]

I've been back at it playing a bit here and there. Sadly no updates just yet. The dungeons are getting longer and more tedious so I'm trying to build up a backlog of screenshots so that when I do update again there won't be any huge breaks before the end. Stay tuned, because if memory serves I have two, maybe three dungeons left to go.

[Formalhaut]

ohhhhhh. Can't wait!

[Flying Mullet]

RIP Let's Play Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest :aimsad:

[Slothy]

It is very much not dead Mulley. May has just been surprisingly crazy for me.

[Flying Mullet]

Excuses are like armpits: Everybody's got them and they all stink!

[Slothy]

What excuse? I was just explaining the lack of progress according to the schedule you made up in your brain and which I am not beholden too.

I was playing some more just this morning.

[Flying Mullet]

Lucky for both of us the schedule made up in my brain had you paying this morning.

'tis all good now. :cheers:

[Formalhaut]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS!!

Well, at this point, I can do one of two things:

Start up an LP of Mystic Quest vanilla, or start up an LP of the Mystic Quest Retranslation by my friend Matt (aka DarknessSavior).

Back up in yo ass wit da resurrection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqXT4-bY5Gk)

We need to fill this Mystic Quest sized hole in our hearts.

[Spooniest]

Well, I spoke with Matt, and he says the project never got off the ground, so I guess vanilla it is.

I'll begin pre-production work in T-60 minutes.

[Formalhaut]

Well, I spoke with Matt, and he says the project never got off the ground, so I guess vanilla it is.

I'll begin pre-production work in T-60 minutes.

Geez you make it sound like a movie! :p

Geez you make it sound like a movie! :p

I've been reading a lot about the first six Star Trek films lately, and it's got me interested in film production.

But why not? I'm putting on a show, aren't I? :)

Update: I have cancelled my LP as Vivi22 has not abandoned his.

enSYlCEz5VI

[Slothy]

So my last update was in March huh? Well I guess I suck. But I've made it to the final dungeon, so it's time for a somewhat steady stream of updates until we reach the end.

46462
Sword grip and purple PJ's aside these are the most accurately named enemy in the game.

46463
If there is anything here that make sense please explain it to me.

46464
With this helmet my entire body is now fire proof.

46465
I bet this switch is important.

46466
Now to find a way to that door.

46467
Best we skip over how tedious it was to get here.

46468
And we still aren't done.

46469
Yet another thing you can't see. The head's dance.

46470
I strongly doubt that.

46471
I thought Hydras having more than one head was implied.

46472
Might be time for a name change.

46473
This might be the first time a boss looked threatening all game long.

46474
And the first time we've seen a fourth sprite.

46475
The fire crystal is purple. I don't have a joke for this or anything. Square is doing just fine without my help.

46476
Again with the clever names.

46477
My guess would be in the quarter of the map we haven't visited yet.

46478
Yeah, that place.

46479
And I'll need this to get there. I'm learning.

46480
Earthquakes have stopped and a new path opened up. Convenience!

46481
I'm so smurfing sick of this guy.

46482
Found this on a brief jaunt beneath Focus Tower.

46483
Wait a second. I've seen Cliffhanger. Maybe we shouldn't....

46484
The text bubble is in the way but a monster attacked me from behind. I hear it's not rape if they yell surprise.

46485
There is absolutely no reason to do this except to get himself hurt so someone else will join me.

46486
This is me fighting a monster alone after Reuben was thrown from the bridge for being a moron.

[Formalhaut]

YAAAY! It's back!

[Slothy]

Yep, and I've got a stock pile of 160 more pics to post and I just entered the final dungeon this morning. This shit is getting finished god damn it.

[Flying Mullet]

Huzzah! It's like a new season of a tv show has started.

[Slothy]

A TV show where I don't get paid.

:(

[Formalhaut]

A TV show where I don't get paid.

:(

You get paid in our adoration, cookies, and reputation points.

[Slothy]

I won't have time to update today, but I have good news everyone: I just beat the game and took a total of 89 new screenshots in the process. We should be able to move at a significantly faster pace from here on.

[Formalhaut]

I won't have time to update today, but I have good news everyone: I just beat the game and took a total of 89 new screenshots in the process. We should be able to move at a significantly faster pace from here on.

Yay! I bet the final boss was like, reeeaally difficult.

[Slothy]

I actually died once.

[Jiro]

Reuben you dick.

Also lol @ the map just being four quadrants. It's not even subtle. Windia is just southwest of the conveniently central location. (And I wonder what element they're associated with....!)

[Formalhaut]

I actually died once.

Hey, you died in the very first battle. I'm sure it's fine :p

[Slothy]

This game is many things. None of them are subtle.

46588
A vine to nowhere. Totally safe.

46589
You were thrown from a bridge...

46590
I lost a party member. Must be time to pick up another. Enter Tristam.

46591
Hell, I've got nothing better to do.

46592
That was the only enemy on the bridge by the way.

46593
I only save one forest per game.

46594
I think the trees are telling me to run.

46595
Feels like the first new weapon in... months!

46596
No one told me this. How do I know about this tree already?

46597
I am an ass.

46598
Hopefully she's finished not dying and can help.

46599
Sure, why wouldn't she get there after we already saved it.

46600
Back to Aquaria.

46601
But I came all this way. And the world's ending. Where's the sense of urgency folks?

46602
You mean the place I was already headed?

46603
We haven't met.

46604
Wonder if he's related to Locke?

46605
How about we say fuck it to this saving the world thing and skedaddle?

46606
You had me at gay sex!

46607
Not saying it's cause you don't put out, but maybe if you let me cop a feel now and then.

46608
Good riddance.

46609
Our bromance ends just like that.

46610
Yes?! :love:

46611
So I'll always have my hooks in you.

46612
Well, that's... ugly as shit. Thanks a lot!

[Slothy]

46613
Was it something I said?

46614
But I've had bombs for ages already!

46615
I've had training remember.

46616
Why are you so useless?

46617
Way to sleep on the job! We've got shit that needs doing.

46618
Everyone else hates me. :(

46619
I had to quest across half the world for that axe. She just gets poisoned and takes a nap.

46620
How do the people who can't talk to trees get to Windia?

46621
I'm gonna make you an offer you can't refuse.

46622
I've given up being surprised by anything in this game.

And that's all for today. Join us tomorrow when we go inside a giant tree years before Ocarina of Time made it cool.

[Flying Mullet]

Great updates!

[Jiro]

Just the way he says "whack the monsters inside of me" seems oddly suggestive.

[Slothy]

46632
My new claw is a grappling hook.

46633
I don't like this door. I don't like it one bit.

46634
Trees within a tree? Treeception.

46635
Five floors? I'm officially sick of this dungeon.

46636
Yes, those are their real names.

46637
Eat some flaming rock: Meteor!

46638
I killed the goat. The least dangerous head of all.

46639
Wait, are those heads dead or is something else going on back there?

46640
I should hope so, this was the worst dungeon so far.

46641
Say what?!

46642
The tree is actually walking.

46643
Now I have to walk all the way back down. :roll2

46644
Another new temple.

46645
I hate this guy.

46646
What the hell are you for then?

46647
The only useful thing in Windia.

46648
I can't answer your question right now. Too busy standing here.

46649
Should we call Mario?

46650
Well, rainbows aren't known for being particularly good building material.

46651
Sounds like a job for me. When the hell do I start getting paid for this?

46652
That seems unlikely.

46653
What FF would be without?

46654
Do i really need to make a joke for this one?

46655
The only thing to see on this mountain before the boss.

46656
Aside from a minor defense boost this really just looks snazzy.

[Slothy]

46703
Place your bets on what this is supposed to be.

46705
He only takes up one tile so he's probably not the big bad.

46706
You've got to read the signs kid.

46708
But I made him a fruit cake.

46710
Not quite what the map sprite looked like.

46711
These names guys. :exdee:

46712
The horse is finally realizing it's supposed to be dead.

46713
Now if only he understood how decapitation is supposed to work.

46715
Back to wind town.

46716
I believe that was the plan, yes.

46717
That was remarkably easy. You sure you don't need me to find a leprechaun first? I'm sure Cuch is somewhere.

46718
This guy literally doesn't even know me.

46719
Please don't rape her.

46721
There's a euphemism in here somewhere.

46722
For the record, I hate the next dungeon.

46724
I'm just glad there are no battlefields on the way to this damn tower.

46725
This is right next to the entrance I shit you not.

46726
If only getting the crystal was this easy and monster free.

46728
Seriously, this is the first room.

46730
Boss on the first floor? Must be a catch.

46731
There is a catch right?

46732
And he immediately disappears.

46733
Okay.

46735
They always say that.

46737
Not bad.

[Slothy]

46752
Gilgamesh would be proud.

46753
Flippin' all dem switches.

46754
Why did a guy with wings need an elevator anyway?

46755
I actually had by this point. Thanks for reminding me.

46756
I know what I'm having for dinner.

46757
Roast chicken.

46758
I wonder if fatigue affects the taste of the meat?

46759
Just about done I'd say.

46760
Riding the elevator. Not pictured: the chicken leg I'm devouring.

46761
Crystal saved.

46762
Quit stalling old man.

46763
I was worried when I left you for dead.

46764
Your shattered femur?

46765
Focus Tower?

46766
Sure, that sounds simple enough.

46767
How the hell does he know about the tunnel?

46768
Like I need an excuse to play with explosives.

46769
Yes?

46770
Huh?

46771
Of course he would.

46772
You're a woman and therefore the most suited to taking care of the sick and injured.

46773
I'm a girl and therefore can't say no to a man with a big sword.

46774
Back to fire town.

46775
Lying down on the job I see.

46776
Snap to mister.

[Slothy]

46777
Why was this in bed with you and where was it hidden?

46778
You know what? Who cares? At least I don't have to quest for it.

46779
And back to wind town. Again.

46780
In his dad's pants.

46781
Straight forward enough.

46782
I know, we came up with this plan five minutes ago.

46783
Sure, why not.

46784
Huzzah.

46785
How the hell do I know that?

46786
Not the strangest thing I've been asked to do all day.

46787
I forgot to number this picture and was too lazy to figure out exactly where it's supposed to go before uploading the pics. Now that it's here, it ain't moving. Also, Hidden treasure in Spencer's place!

46788
Already got it.

46789
I keep a teleporter in the basement, but I don't have the key to use it.

46790
Were you expecting a funny caption?

46791
Aren't you a little small for a sailing ship?

46792
Bigger on the inside? Woooo eeee ooooo! Doooo doo doooo!

46793
Climbing a pole. Incidentally, this was the first pic I took a few days ago after that long break.

46794
I think this is a rope the size of a pole.

46795
Treasure at the bottom of the ship.

46796
I've been keeping it warm for you.

46797
Careful though, I have lice. Maybe some fleas and ticks too. I hang out in a lot of forests.

46798
Months spent clearing this ship and she just waltzes right in.

46799
I hope he's not allergic to lice.

46800
The dark whosit prophecy?

[Slothy]

46801
Those lice can do a number on you.

46802
No butts.

46803
Those two stormed off then Reuben collapsed. Can we all say no shit Reuben?

46804
That'll help set your broken bones and reduce the swelling in your brain.

46805
Is this Spencer? I haven't seen him in months?

46806
That answers that.

46807
She must miss my dashing good looks and infectious charm. And by charm I mean herpes.

46808
Thank you for conveniently coming to this dock you have no business at to tell me what to do next.

46809
Maybe not since we're coming up on the final dungeon.

46810
Has she even met Reuben?

46811
Damn layabout.

46812
The pinnacle of public healthcare.

46813
When have I ever liked the news in this game?

46814
Phoebe's back for the last party change of the game.

46815
What game have you been playing kid?

46816
Not so lost anymore.

46817
That doesn't sound that threatening.

46818
Could have saved some time if I knew that before.

46819
Don't worry. Cruise control comes standard.

46820
Guess he broke a specific kind of bone in that fall.

46821
Back to the ship.

46822
I was too lazy to kill all of the monsters so I'm glad they just left all on their own.

46823
Ha! Cruise control. :jess:

46824
Must be the servants entrance.

46825
That sounds menacing.

Well, I think that'll do until we rush to the end. Probably tomorrow.

[Karifean]

I love this series. :jess:

[Formalhaut]

Wait, there's a prophecy? Since when was this?

[Slothy]

Beats me. This game just kind of plucks things out of thin air to keep you moving forward. I just got back from the gym, but I'm thinking after I grab a shower I may finish this up today.

[Formalhaut]

I'm looking forward to this :D

And then we have the F1 as well! What luck!

[Flying Mullet]

Doom Castle is probably my favorite music from the game.

[Slothy]

It is pretty epic. But then, the whole soundtrack is so much better than it has any business being in a game this... interesting. :erm:

Anyway, let's get to the end already!

46834
Wrong game fellas.

46835
Hold on, this guy looks familiar...

46836
Oh fuck, I'm in a Mega Man game.

46837
The boss was a pushover so here's a door.

46838
Only one place to go.

46839
Yep. Very familiar. One guess which statue I need to poke.

46840
I have a feeling this dungeon is going to take a while.

46841
Some tedious puzzle solving and, surprisingly, only five battles later we get to Mr. Dancing Pecs.

46842
Not made of ice anymore. Guess he got that weakness of his figured out.

46843
Ironically, he's now weak against ice magic.

46844
No new path. Guess I should head back to those stairs.

46845
The way is clear. Colour me sh- okay you know what? I'm not the least bit fucking shocked.

46846
The next floor. Still not shocked.

46847
If this guy is weak against fire I'm just going to give up on the captions and let the game make its own jokes.

46848
Let's do this.

46849
At least some things still make sense.

46850
I could have shown a picture of the stairs but I thought they'd be boring. So is this.

46851
Yeah, I skipped over most of that floor because it was stupid. Like this guy losing half of his name.

46852
The battle took me three tries because I managed to miss getting the life spell somewhere along the way. Pfft! Not important.

46853
I really hope there isn't more dungeon beyond this door.

46854
A talking statue huh? Handsome devil too I must say.

46855
About damn time.

46856
I already had 30.

46857
Oh good, I thought the 95 I had might run out.

46858
Power of the Crystals! Now available at a corner store near you!

[Slothy]

46864
... :stare:

46865
The Dark King doesn't look so tough.

46866
Self explanatory really.

46867
He's never played an RPG before.

46868
But I have.

46869
I hope it's not gas.

46870
So, you told people that you existed and were responsible for the four dudes who were messing with the crystals and that we need to kill you? What the hell kind of a plan is that?!

46871
We get no further explanation.

46872
I'll let you in on a secret: this guy is weak against cure.

46873
Very, very, VERY, weak.

46874
I don't know, it seems to be doing the job.

46875
Okay, that is more threatening I have to admit. But as someone who shot a few bows I feel I should point out that that's not how you use them.

46876
Huh?

46877
OH FUCK! PHOEBE! SQUISH IT! SQUISH IT NOW!

46878
He's dying right past his final form. Sorry guys. At least it's less nightmare inducing.

46879
I write my own prophecy. Or something.

46880
It better be. I can't take much more.

46881
Okay, that's it! This old guy is...

46882
a crystal? I wish that was the strangest thing about this game.

46883
And always recycle. Remember, the power is yours!

46884
Umm, I've already seen the whole world.

46885
But I guess I'll settle for the lousy prize anyway.

46886
It's what I do.

46887
Are they dead yet? Because that would be awesome.

46888
Fuck. Not even a thank you?

[Slothy]

46893
Or not. Fuck those guys right?

46894
No thanks to any of you.

46895
Well, unlike you guys, my family and home were destroyed. Fuck you for asking.

46896
Time to get the hell out of dodge.

46897
Oh shit, I must be concussed.

46898
We'll always have that old man's wither.

46899
Wait, you let me sail that thing and you weren't even sure it was safe after the monster attack?

46900
It's what makes you a Captain.

46901
I thought you were off having a bromance with Tristam?

46902
It was your granddaughters fault.

46903
I'm guessing not you since you strike me as more the little spoon type.

46904
He's just not the type to settle down.

46905
Whatever.

46906
He's with the band now.

46907
No matter how much you tried to change that.

46908
Sorry, I don't swing that way. Go visit Spencer.

46909
Yeah, fuck you and the bridge you fell off of.

46910
Only if someone carries you there. You can't be trusted to not trip and choke on a pebble.

46911
Seriously, why is he only checking this now?

46912
... for almost getting me killed.

46913
Do I get to wear the hat?

46914
Hopefully something that isn't made of rainbows.

46915
I'm not even sure who the fuck you are.

46916
Photo bombed by Jiro.

46917
O.... k...?

[Slothy]

46919
Then how about next time you walk across the bridge like someone who isn't an idiot?

46920
I'm not your new boy toy pal.

46921
It's called monogamy mother fucker. Try it sometime.

46922
Wanna make out before I leave?

46923
And my dashing good looks of course.

46924
No, just kidding.

46925
Forever if there's any justice in the world.

46926
Let's leave already.

46927
Finally sailing away.

46928
I'm not the new Spencer dude.

46929
Oh, I guess that's cool then.

46930
Let's get it straight up front: I'm the big spoon.

46931
Sure, that's an insult I'd use.

46932
These are the people most responsible for this shit. Fuck them.


And that's it. There's absolutely nothing else. Which is good because I have some Formula 1 races to do next.

[Karifean]

And so it concludes. It was a fun ride. Great LP, at many points you had me laughing out loud.

[Formalhaut]

FORMULA 1.

Vivi, I feel like we should have a day of mourning for the loss of this Let's Play. It was just so epic.

[Slothy]

Part of me is going to miss doing this LP. I don't think there's another FF title that could ever be quite so hilarious.
