The flood jokes should not have cracked me up as much as they did. I feel used.
Maybe it is because I have not played V in years, but this game is progressing rather fast. Is it just me?

I hope the drunken guy in the tavern is named Cuch. :cuch:
That was the best part.Quote:

Chapter III: Trial by Fire
We rejoin our heroes washed up on the shore next to a meteor; Before when they investigated it, it was just a rock. Now, it has a door, and inside, they find...

And thus our story en...what?
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/02guessnot.jpg
On the other side of the vaporizer-cum-portal is a town. Sort of. Are these people insane?
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/03onfire.jpg
Am I unreasonable for thinking this is weird?
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...methingodd.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...eahthatsit.jpg
Well, that's a relief
It doesn't take long to get arrested. Faris didn't even get a chance to rob anybody! Well, at least we get to meet new people in jail. And cornhole them.

That sounds like something dangerous to say in a town populated entirely by pyromaniacal psychopaths...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/11blackcrack.jpg
yep, sure enough
Well, on the upside, telling people that gunpowder is drugs did manage to get us out of jail, and all we have to do is help Dr. Cid. Not really seeing a downside here.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...rprisehere.jpg
Never mind
Now that we have access to the castle, let's meet some Karnakish people who, unaccountably, are not on fire.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/13xbox.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/14awhat.jpg
A what?
Off to the steamship, then!
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...nottreason.jpg
This is definitely not treason
In the bowels (ha!) of the steamship, we finally meet the queen, and I can't stop saying smurf. Knew that would happen.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...raindamage.jpg
Including, but not limited to bleeding, third-degree burns, and irreparable brain damage
Of course there's a boss fight! It's not enough that we're surrounded by psychopaths, everything's on fire, and the Queen is snorting gunpowder. And to top it all off...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/17notgood.jpg
Only in Final Fantasy can there be a massive explosion two meters away and nobody gets burned
It looks like we're actually in time to save the Fire Crystal! Oh well, no more superpowers for us, I guess. But wait...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...yagoodidea.jpg
That is definitely a good idea
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/19oops.jpg
OK, maybe not
Luckily...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/20w00t.jpg
Let's head back to Karnak and see if people have learned anything from the death of their Queen and destruction of their castle. They should be grateful that we saved them before they all snorted too much gunpowder to recover, right?
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/21thewall.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/21getout.jpg
Well, I never!
At least that gives us a direction to move now that we've utterly destroyed yet another country. Off to the Manga Library! Looks innocent enough at first...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/22demons.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/3/23thanks.jpg
A hero's work is never done
Thus do we delve into the musty depths of the Manga Library...

Tomorrow: A Hero's Work is Never Done
Haha, that was a good post!
Damn black crack was just too tempting not to smoke. You could have warned them it would blow up their castle! Unne is a total dick.
Glad I wasn't the only person who thought it was odd to have random fires laying about.
Crack kills.
Black crack is the best smurfing name. I'm excited to see more of Unne's journey!
Don't be. This one sucks.
Chapter IV: A Hero's Work is Never Done
Imagine our surprise to discover the basement of the library is filled with....books!
Oh, and an ancient fire demon. Perfect place for a fire demon to live, surrounded by highly combustible books.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/00runningout.jpg
Tzep was clearly running out of ideas for dialogue
After gaining control of the fire demon and threatening to burn the library to the ground, the moving bookshelves stopped getting in the way, allowing us to locate Cid's weeaboo grandson. Who, it seems, is a little bit special.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/01mid1.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/01mid2.jpg
His friends were relieved to find he hadn't burned to death hanging out with the fire demon
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/02getoutmore.jpg
These guys need to get out more

Jacob is weird
But wait, there's more to the book than just hentai!

Cid and Jacob rush out to the steamship, when Galuf catches a glimpse at his lost memories...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/13what.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp...edyrfather.jpg
Yeah, sorry about that
It went a bit like this...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/15monopoly.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/16btw.jpg
In the morning...
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/17w00t.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/18w00t2.jpg
The world is ours! Or at least the parts which we are not denied access to for plot reasons
That's helpful...except we have no idea where to go to try todestroysave the Crystal of Earth! We'd better take the steamship and visit Cid and Jacob in the Manga Library to see if they can provide us with any leads.
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/19savethem.jpghttp://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/20toobad.jpg
Thanks a lot, guys
There is nothing for it but to sail the seas for American gold! We'll fire no guns, shed no tears~!
http://www.bastardly.org/bleys/ff5sp/4/21onaboat.jpg
Take a good long look at the mothersmurfing boat
Next Chapter: Bare-It's Privateers!
Jacob is just clearly trying to fap to all the library books. What a weirdo.
This is awesome.
Wait, so that's considered unusual behavior? Whoops.Quote:
