Final Fantasy IV - "Ah, The Power of Cheese"

Great new episode, as usual. I don't think FFVI translation was that bad. You'd be limited to at most 10 bad translations if you wanted to do an FFVI parody, and that's not much. I have a PSX emulator and FF7 PSX, and I could take screenshots, but I don't think FF7 translation was that bad overall. The script is huge there, 300-400+ pages for merely dialogue, so if there's one page worth of typos, that's still less than one percent of the game. And those tlansrations were fixed in the PC version anyway.

Finally, is it just me or are FFIV characters saying "What...!" or "What!" really frequently? :D

A good one to do would be Final Fantasy Tactics. The Engrish is awesome.

That game is too awe inspiring to make fun of. Any hope of the next one being done by Tuesday?

The translations of FFVI arn't that bad, but there's still plenty of parts in the game that are strange or corny enough to make a good parody of. Example: (SPOILER)The citizens of Doma all drinking the poisoned water, not seeming to realize that GLOWING PURPLE WATER = BAD. Not to mention just about everything Ultros says.

WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THIS :mad:

It's a great line but it was mentioned earlier in the thread which sort of takes some of the surprise out of it. If you like a certain cheesy part of the game it's most likely to see the finished episodes if there is no external references to it.

Same reason I didn't put a You Spoony Bard! image in there.

Episode II - "Cid is da bomb" Golbez may not put his words together in a clear or coherent manner, but since the lights have dimmed we can safely assume that this is a threat. Better think of something fast! Whew! Well, that was convenient, unfortunately the Red Wings are after you in hot pursuit and catching up fast! With everything on the line, Cid decides to sacrifice his life so that you can make a safe escape. Yang somehow stopped a supercannon by locking himself in the room with it, and Cid rebuilds a mountain by jumping out of an airship and blowing himself to pieces... right Never said it had to make sense, but it's damn funny to watch. And it assures us a sweet new ride in the near future. Sorry Kain, I'm sure if Cid knew you were so concerned he would have killed himself in a much safer way. Did he give that order before or after he fell to his exploding death? I have no idea what the hell that means. ... Yang and Cid... THANK YOU! Again, your new vehicle capability only allows you to go to one new area in the entire world. That must be the next destination. And what a way to start it off. This is probably the least interesting "town" in the whole of Final Fantasy IV, if you even have the nerve to call it a town. Even the Namingway in this place gets on my nerves. If I were you, I would hurry on as soon as you possibly can. There is much better things to experience in the cave following anyway, for instance: I guess it wasn't the monsters who brought this one down. After a few battles and other soldiers who felt the wrath of the temperamental prince, it's finally time to meet him. And boy oh boy does he suck Pwned. Aww, cheer up there Rydia, we have awesome vehicles to compensate for all of them! That hook was more useful than Cid ever was. Heal up Edge and start heading up the Tower of Bab-il... Again. Poor kid... I don't know if it's worse that his parents have been turned into horrible beasts or that they improperly use "the" in their threats against him. Can't say I blame him for being so angry, although I'm not sure I'd ever make that noise. But wait... There is something Rubicant doesn't know about Edge. When in a rage, he gains unspeakable powers! And it does erm... -376 damage... No matter, the members of your team who are actually worth the space in your party will take Rubicant out without a problem. Don't worry Edge, your father's death was not in vain... TO BE CONTINUED! (Two handsome princes as permanent characters, good lord)

It rocks like always. Especially "The Incredible power"-part from Edge is great

Maybe Edge should've thought to wait until Rubicant took his cloak off.

"Pwned"

Love it! :thumb:

Good job.

man thats rich, it makes me want to continue ffIV im still stuck on that friggin dark elf :( man you make cid look like a wimp and a woman

The images of the last one you posted aren't appearing! And I NEED to see this one! T__T (and I wanna see too, the other ones are so funny XD)

Hey I just spent the last hour reading all these (like I said I would over a month ago <_< ) Good stuff! So if I get fired it's your fault.

Good one. Especially the -376 damage thing.

You have brought a whole new meaning to the word 'ownage' :D

Wow, this rules. Glad I followed that link

Same. Although actually I first saw this yesterday and thought "I will read all this tomorrow!" and your link reminded me that tomorrow was now today. :love:

Since when is Cecil a prince? I mean, King Baron was his adopted father, but does that make him a prince?

Edward + Edge.

Noooo! I thought you posted another one!

Same here :(

lol, dont fool us like that :p j/k

You've got serious talent. Looking forward to the next one.

Hee hee, all those useless sacrifices in FFIV always pissed me off. Can't wait to see more man. You could certainly make some funny comments on the number of times you visit the tower of Bab-il (man, that was annoying as hell).

This thing just keeps rocking. Keep up the awesome work!

C'mon... I can't wait for the next one! :)

ps: almost 6400 views... :eek:
;)

chaos: This is truly a masterpiece! Well done! :D

Episode III - "Episode of Text and Picture" Unfortunately, as you'll soon realize, your awesome, unbeatable, stylin' new airship... Sucks. The only place you're going in this thing is right back to that damn dwarf castle since it doesn't have the ability to cross magma (yet it had absolutely no problem when it was chasing the Enterprise in the last episode) Well, you don't have a choice, so head back to the ugly lali-hoes. Hmm, Giott really one-upped me on the interpretation of that "I am afraid" line... Hey! I have an idea, let's go get the crystal before Golbez has a chance! Yeah! Great idea considering we've already tried that plan an ass load of times and its had a 100% fail rate. On the up-side of coming back to this dumb castle, the inhabitants do have funnier dialogue than before, take advantage of it. You see, coming here wasn't so bad after all... Do you mean the of the Cid? Well, he's is right of the here in the of the basement. Convenient... Take this as a lesson kids, jumping from a great height and exploding in mid air is perfectly safe. Cid is living proof... Don't bother asking any questions, just head off with Cid's modifications and visit the dwarf town which was previously unaccessable. It's home to some delicious genuine cheese. For future reference, the word "from" is not, has not, and will never be spelled "frum". And now, for the three general rules of a friendly underworld dwarf town: 1. Ask strangers dumb questions that answer themselves. (To answer your question... It's up) 2. Give strangers all of your treasure for no reason (If friendly underworld dwarf towns really existed college tuition wouldn't be so bad...) 3. Farmer Now that you're done here, you've got some options. More specifically, you can enter cave A, cave B, or the spectacular cave C. All sound equally uninteresting... Let's choose A! And the winner is! This would be a great name for an area if every single area in the game didn't also fill the criteria contained in it. This is the equivilent to specifically naming your friend Jim's house "House of Floor and Ceiling" That Rydia is so cute... I wonder if all callers are as cute as her. Guess not. Make your way through the Land of Ambiguity to reach the Land of Summoned Monsters, AKA the Land of... BUSH HAGS!!! You're going to have lots of fun here. Just start talking to ALL the Bush hags. I hope he's not as stupid as the human kings of Final Fantasy IV. Yeah, other worlds, like RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR STUPID TOWN. True, but in his defense, at least he hasn't talked in Engrish yet. Besides, Titan could totally kick your ass. When you're ready, head over to the library. Actually there is exactly 240 books, not even close to countless, however, saying that you'd never get bored reading them is a lot closer to being accurate. Take a look at some of my personal favorites: "Strong in body and mind" otherwise known as "Float" In other words: "The worst" FFIV Translator: "The word unbeknownst looks really cool... Where can I throw it in to this game..." This book is titled "Top 100 Farfetched Legends!" and this is numero uno but maybe you shouldn't laugh about this one just yet... *sigh* Most importantly, you'll DEFINATELY want to read the book next to it before you move on. I call it Le Scripturé Di "There is Actually a Boss Coming Up That Requires a Semi-Clever Strategy to Beat so Here is the Strategy For Those of you Who are Too Stupid to Figure it Out Yourselves.", It's a classic in Bush Hag Land. It's finally come time to face Leviatan and Asura! The official King and Queen of Monsterworld. erm... Ladies First. Well, do you? Talk about not looking like your on screen sprite... Keep Wall(Grapefruit Slice) casted on Asura and this will be a quick battle. Then move on to King Leviatan! Leviatan is probably the toughest boss you've faced so far, luckily he's almost in the shape of a pretzel. Give it your all and you'll come out on top as the glorious winner and the new master of the King of Summoned Monsters! All that time he went unbeaten... You'd think he'd have come up with a better speech than that. Surprise, surprise, you get the bootleg Leviatan. That's what you get for summoned monster shopping at the swap meet. TO BE CONTINUED! (Extended due to delayed update, DON'T get used to this treatment)

another classic XD

Updates! Yay!

They are wonderfull again. But I am still waiting for the sweaters and posters with Rydia on it ;)

YAY, more updates.
Sorry, got a little over-excited there.

Yet another classic. :D That one was one of the funniest yet. Keep 'em coming that Necronopticous of the message board!

You know the Island that you find the land of summoned monsters on? I'm surprised that no one pointed how it is the exact same shape as the continent of South America.

I ate a chip that looked like South America the other day.

Great new episode, and a long one too! :D BTW Are you going to make fun of the fact that Golbez would have never made his way to the Sealed Cave if Cecil and the others hadn't brought the Crystal out for him? Would have been funny if Cecil and others had just waited Golbez to get himself killed getting to the Sealed Cave rather than being total idiots and doing exactly what Golbez wanted.

BUSH HAGS!!! :D

Since it is now at the bottom of last page and no one will see, I will again point out this:

The island on which you find the land of summoned monsters is the same shape as the continent of South America.

Feion

Which is why Del made the cookie comment on the first post of this page.

BTW, yep, haven't they figured out that trying to get the crystal first will always fail?

I love it, another update soon I hope :D

Ive read only a part of this so far and I can only say one thing..

BUUHHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep it coming!

I am a farmer. :love:

Guud stuff.

"ugly lali-hoes" :thumb:

I always thought that island looked like a giant penis.

The "I'm a farmer" part originally came from FF1. A guy in Melmond said it. I can't find a screenshot on google atm, though, and I'm not allowed to play video games at work, so I'll have to come up with a screenshot later on.

Delicious. Necronopticous is the awesomest!

Come up with the next episode soon! I can't wait!!!

I always laugh at those snake-things the enemies summon because they look so much like David Bowie's head on...a snake's body.

Hey guys, don't kill me, I know you probably thought this was an update ^_^;

Just writing to tell you that I just started my Spring semester and I'm taking 15 units on top of work, I've been extremely busy and just haven't been able to get around to this lately, I promise I will post new episodes as soon as I get a chance so keep checking back, thanks for the support so far!

Sorry again!

*kills*

HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY, HURRY!!! :)

No worries, amigo...slow updates just mean that it's longer before it's over and we get no more updates, ever.

Ill just have to agree, it is great, its really, kupo, good. Man, really, kupo. kupo, po, ku ku popo, ku... *gasp* (hair ball)

Yeah, we'd much rather you take your time and make it quality, much like the translators did with this game.

I agree, take your time. The series has been great so far and I'd hate to see it sink in quality. I'm looking forward to the next one, whenever it'll be completed, though.

Art takes time to make. And the more time you get the better it's going to be. Maybe it's a bit like wine. The longer it stays in the cellars the better it tastes. Well, the longer you take, the better it is. :D

I just went back and read it all through again and it's as good the second time through as it was the first. Very well done. :)

Awww... I hope Necro get some time for this soon! :choc2: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :hyper: :excited: :choc2:

I'm begining to get nervous, shoudn't he have done something by now? :confused:

is there gonna be any more!

Patience people, he said that he wouldn't be making many updates for while.

*posts to keep the tread alive... just because it's cool to do so.* :cool:

Need.... updates........... *gasp* *faint*

Are we there ye, I mean.. How long more?

Episode IV - "In the Event of an Explosion" We all know Giott's plan is a bad one, in fact it's already failed plenty of times before. Unfortunately there is no way to move the story forward without following his instructions, so make your way to the next cave. There it is, good and sealed. Completely safe from infiltration by the enemy, I guess our only option is to remove the seal and protect the crystal, or in more common speak "do the dirty work for the enemy yourself... again..." Trap Doors are a real pain, and you'll be surprised the first time you have a run in with one. That surprise will slowly diminish as you realize that every single door in the entire cave is a trap door. Expect to die a great deal of times in this place learning which trap doors have absolutely nothing behind them and avoiding them. On a side note, there is a positive side to coming here, you'll be able to encounter palette-swapped VampGirls <3 Soon enough (HA! don't kid yourself) you'll find the crystal room. Yay! Let's see... Long frustrating dungeon, lots of random encounters and trap doors, crystal at the end... Sounds like we're overdue for a big random demonic wall boss. And there he is! Beside looking like he came directly out of Contra III The Alien Wars, EvilWall is a real son of a bitch. Use Levia[than] whenever you can and try to take him down quick or else he'll do what EvilWalls do best, make you restart at the last save point. This won't feel like a very representative statement after restarting the boss battle 7 times before actually winning. Hmm... Well that didn't take long. My thoughts exactly. Brilliant plan asshole. The heroes are exhausted and worried, one by one they have lost the crystals to Golbez and his sinister plan. With all hope quickly fading from sight, and the entire world in the balance, Giott resorts what any one of us would in the situation. He calls for a giant stellar whale. ... Pimp my airship. Before continuing, there is one more cave to explore in the underworld. It's called And at the bottom is And inside of it is Yang! Proving once again to all young viewers that firey explosions are fun and perfectly safe. Not only that, the side quest that follows this revelation displays exactly what to do if you know anyone who has recently been in a firey explosion. For the sake of the young audience, I have decided to fully detail the procedure. First, leave them unattended for a long period of time and visit their home. Tell people where they are, but leave out the part about them having third degree burns all over their body and that they are losing profuse amounts of blood. Take a heavy metal object of your choice from their house. Return hours later to the victim and ignore the protests of any onlookers. And finally, bash them in the face with the object you've obtained. Despite the ignorant ramblings of those who were watching at the time, The victim will be in tip-top shape and you will be rewarded with a spoon. Take it and head for Mysidia, your next destination. Upon entering, you will be greeted by other old lunatics obsessed with the giant whale. You should probably prepare yourself. Uh oh... You don't mean... -_-; Well, now you have a perfectly good whale to ride around in, and you'll be happy to know there is a big fat chocobo stuck inside of it as well, always ready to store any extra items you have in its disgustingly obese stomach and puke them up later for you. Convenient, but how does this help in the struggle against Golbez and his completed crystal collection? WHO CARES!? It's time to go to the moon in a whale! TO BE CONTINUED! (In the meantime, pipebomb your friends)

Awesome.

lol pimp my airship i also thought it was funny when your rewarded with a spoon it shows a picture of a knife

Yay! An update!

*Stickies thread*

Necro is my god. :jap:

A couple of wee typos in that latest entry - nothing serious, but perfect presentation would only make the series even better:

No apostrophe in the possessive "its".

Not at all trying to be pedantic or nitpicky here; just pointing out a couple of easily-overlooked things.

Noticing that makes you a nit-picker :D

Thanks for the proofreading, fixed!

Always appreciated.

This is bound to happen when people are consistently harassing Necronopticous to come up with a new episode. There is no need to pressure the poor lad, he's already done a tremedous job.

And again, with a thread like this can somebody please explain to me how FFIV is in a forum with three other games, while FFV and World of EoFF have their own? Give FFIV it's own forum, or at least merge it with the FFV forum. Let's make the Vulcans proud, people.

Start a thread in feedback.

I've always wanted to ride around in a big whale. Just like Pinnoccio!

Whos stopping you? Live the dream~

Finally, that's all I can say

Just found this the other day. This is great. Good stuff, keep it up.

Hehehe..."Brilliant plan asshole." And "Pimp my airship."

I might start another FFIV game, just for this.

I can't believe I have'nt read this by now.
I love it.

You should play Musashi: Samurai Legend.

Very nice, as always!

Necronopticous, that is some hilarious stuff. It will be a sad moment when you reach the end of he game.

Playing through the FFC version makes me feel so damn relieved that I don't have to put up with that horrible horrible translation, but god is it funny. I may play through the original just to experience the dialog.

エピソード V - "月はチーズから実際に成っている!" 期待するかもしれないので月は噴火口、棚、傾斜路、洞窟、モンスター、および月宮殿と過剰運転する。最初の行先は月宮殿であるが、... あなたの船を駐車することを試みることを迷惑を掛けないまたは誰かが完全に100% のレベルでない表面で上陸したいと思うかもしれないと... ハイテク未来派エンジニア以来のそれの前のクジラは考慮しなかった。 スペースプディングの月道そして無料の無数によってあなたの方法を作りなさい。 結局月の3 荷車引きトラックであなた自身を見つける よりもっとよく知られている次のように: 髭がある恐い月の人の家。 すべてのための倉庫は、同時に、であるかだれ、今まで、未決事項または仮定されたミステリーに残した最終的な想像IV の物語について知りたいと思った。s の権利は、大きく愚かなクジラ説明されること。 待ち時間は... 私はちょうどそれに答えた。 総計するためには、Lunarians は月からの恐い人々(決して期待しなかろう) である、Golbez を制御している邪悪な月の人があり... 破壊したいと思う地球に巨人がある地球... この率で、私はそれらにまだ千年少数が待つあることを言う。 アンペア時! 質問私達に待っているすべてがある。 ... この文脈では、彼は実際にクジラがまた恐い月の人であることを起こった彼の父によってなされたと言っている。この暴露はいまいましい事が月の表面の85% をカバーする噴火口を弾くことで上陸できない愚かな事実にアクセントを置くためにだけのに役立つ。 白及び青の極度な量であることの側で、フソヤ はすべてのよいののレベル50 で何でも彼告げなければならなかったより重要にあなたの党に綴る彼に負荷をする標準を入って来る。 まだ埋まることをもどって来てはいけない従って速く先頭に立ちなさい結局、それに生命すべてを終えることを巨大な試みることがあるようにそれはない。その代り、この隔離された洞窟に訪問をしなさい: ... 不快感がのなされること原料のためにあなた自身を準備すれば。 この洞窟は、すぐに、最終的な想像IV の全体の最も恐く、最も愚かな位置である。より妨げるそれを作るためにはこれらの人の小さい一部分しか及び事のような、"ハム雑音ハム雑音" を繰り返す他のあなたの名前を変えることを可能にしない当然: この場所のあなたの苦境を得たら、またはものは何でもそれを呼んでほしい地球へのあなたのクジラ及び頭部の背部のホツプ。 オハイオ州の否! 悪のようにあり進行中が見え、あるのでライトを揺すり、薄暗くするが、全体的なスケールの今回あり! 私はそれが地球の生命すべてを終えることを巨大な試みることであるかどうか疑問に思うか。 それはある! そして外見上彼はそれらの山の陰、恐怖でピクニックを持っている人々でs 大虐殺を始めた! 地球のためのあらゆる希望があるか。外見上Rydia はそう考えない。 終わりのエピソード! 続けられるため!

?????????????

Awesome!!! :D

I wonder if it'll be rewritten after April fools?

I'm wondering if that's actually in proper Japanese or if Necro just spun a bunch of characters together.

Best episode ever. ;)

... Hmmmmmmmm.

I can read a bit of it so I know that at least some of it is, but it's still far too complicated for me to understand. :(

April Fools, thanks for not hating me.

Enjoy!

Episode V - "The moon really is made of cheese!" As you might have expected, the moon is overrun with craters, ledges, ramps, caves, monsters, and moon palaces. The first destination is the moon palace, but don't bother trying to park your ship... or... whale in front of it since the high tech futuristic engineers didn't consider that someone might want to land on a surface that isn't perfectly 100% level. Make your way through the lunar path and complimentary myriad of space puddings. Eventually you will find yourself at the Lunar 3-Wheeler Tracks Better known as: The home of the bearded creepy moon man. Who is, coincidentally, a storehouse for everything you ever wanted to know about the Final Fantasy IV storyline that has, until now, remained a loose end or assumed plothole. That's right, even the big stupid whale is explained. Wait... I just answered that. To sum up, Lunarians are creepy people from the moon (would have never expected), there is an evil moonman controlling Golbez, and there is a giant on Earth who wants to destroy... Earth... At this rate, I'd say they still have a few thousand years to wait. Ah! The question we've all been waiting for. ... In this context, he's actually saying that the whale was made by his father who happened to also be a creepy moonman. This revelation only serves to accent the stupid fact that the damn thing can't land on flipping craters that cover 85% of the moon's surface. Beside being an extreme amount of white and blue, FuSoYa comes into your party at level 50 with all the good spells standard making him loads more important than anything he had to tell you. Don't be so quick to head back to Earth yet, after all, it isn't as if there is a giant trying to terminate all life upon it. Instead, make a visit to this isolated cave: ...And prepare yourself for the stuff that nightmares are made of. This cave is, at once, the scariest and most asinine location in the entirety of Final Fantasy IV. To make it even more disturbing, only a small fraction of these guys will even allow you to change your name with the others repeating things such as, "Hmmm Hmmmmm..." And of course: Once you've gotten your fix of this place, or whatever you want to call it, hop on your whale and head back to Earth. Oh no! Looks like evil is afoot, being as there is shaking and dimming lights, this time on a global scale! I wonder if it's a giant trying to terminate all life on Earth? It is! And apparently he's started the massacre at the people having a picnic in the shade of those mountains, the horror! Is there any hope for the Earth? Apparently Rydia doesn't think so. End Episooode! TO BE CONTINUED! (The moon is a lot like Victorville, CA.)

Nice episode. i was planning to try and translate it but luckily I saw this first.

When I read the first version I was scared and confused but now I feel witty and clever and superior to japanese people. Good job!

Evil is a foot? I always thought of it as a giant claw or something.
(Sorry, I had to use the Nuke Power joke)

Anyway.... I'd say that the farcical-ness of this story has absolutely obliterated any semblance of suspense that Rydia's screeeam could have evoked.

It's tough. I'm far more interested in the next comic for the next comnic's sake than I am for the sake of whatever's happening.

You never cease to amuse me, Necronopticous. Keep it coming, I'll be expecting it.

This is truly one of the great achievements of our time.

Where did you get that Rydia pic? That is absolutely beautiful (well, for an anime girl anyway). Are there others for the other FF4 characters similar to that one? Let me know.

What Rydia pic are you talking about?

Actually, I thought you were a she as well, simply because of the terra picture. However there are a few posts whch suggested you were a guy, so I was somewhat confused for a while.

Anyway, how often do necro's updates usually take? How often do you usually expect one?

Yea, people usually think you're a girl if you have a girl in your sig. Strange, isn't it? :D

And it wasn't a picture of Terra. It was Rydia! :p

Well... in the begining, Necro updated more frequently... however... he have been busy lately and therefore it takes atleast some weeks between the updates.

... ...I can't believe I mistook rydia for terra ;_; I deserve a painful death. Rydia > Terra (don't hurt me FF6 fans).

Regarding Necros updates, that's perfectly understandable. I have been plenty busy myself.. school is actually getting pretty intense fro me this semester.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wooooow!

I have just spent the past hour reading this whole thread and absorbing it all. My cat has been staring at me strangely as I've burst into long peals of laughter.

This is the most wonderful thing I think I've found online this year.

Good April Fools, BTW. :D

I can now die happy.

Oh god, give me a break. He wasn't making fun of final fantasy, he was making fun of the horrible translation.

Besides, if I said "final fantasy 2 sucks" are you going to get pissod off? Calm down for god's sake, it's just an opinion.

Whew. Thank goodness you said it's just an opinion - I thought for a second you were going to say it's just a game.

Great April Fools joke.
SCREAM!s and falls to the floor.

Get pissed off? Of course not. We would all form a quiet, calm lynch mob, and go about our mission of finding you.

I don't think it is really kosher to dislike anything to the point of hating it. I don't like Pokemon or Yugioh much myself and neither do you from the sounds of it... however that doesn't mean they suck, it just means it wasn't marketed to you. So let's leave the stuff we don't like to the 12 year olds it was meant for.... like my little brother. He loooves his Pokemon.

Like what you like and tolerate what you don't like.

Sorry... I'm way off topic. My apologies.

More cheese please!

Just because Pokemons better than final fantasy doesn't mean you have to hate it. And what could he say about YGO apart from it being a Duel Masters clone?

Not to get too technical, but isn't duel masters an Anime that was made AFTER Yu-Gi-Oh? It appears to be a mock.

"Who's the kid with the big hair? SHOVU!! (Or however it is spelled)

"Oh no! I think he might not in some crazy way win when he is losing badly like he always does!!"

^_^ These are pretty funny! Not sure why you called it "Ah the Power of Cheese" Though. o.o

It's probably because cheese was involved in the thinking process or he just really like the commericals... which ever n.n

These are hilarous man! XDDDD Take your time with the next one, I'm not in a freaky mood where I need to read it now so I'm not pressuring you.

Many people think that but Duel Masters was out in 1995 I should know I was obsessed with it!

OOC:	Someone said something about people being off topic in this thread so I just thought I'd stop by to tell everyone to STAY ON TOPIC Thanks. <3

Because it's cheesy.

Because a main theme of the game is the moons and the moon is made of cheese! Duh!

:bleys: LOL. There's a bleys smiley!

...sorry, that was off topic.

Nice walkthrough, though. But the 'cheese' bit... i'm lost.

The initial translation of FFIV was bad. Thus, it could be called "cheesy". Necronoptinopticopticus is simply pointing that out.

you know, DJZen... that actually makes sense... still a weird name though, always has, always will be.

I don't think Iri knows what the world "Cheesy" means. Ive tried explaining it to her, but I couldn't think of a synonym for cheesy that wasn't "corny" or something equally nonsensical.

Entry Word: cheesy
Function: adjective
Synonyms dowdy, tacky, campy, absurd, cheap
Related Words outmoded, crude, unrefined, junky, low-grade
Antonyms elegant, smart, stylish

Hmm, "Final Fantasy IV - "Ah, The Power of Elegance".

Yeah, it just doesn't sound the same.

It's because the moon is made of CHEESE, man!

o_o Actually...I think it is because I like Cheddar.

*kicks Necro fondly*

Dude, I just came back to EOFF after a month and a half hiatus and I'm PMSing, so update, darn it. :p

Yes, I have been gone for longer than I expected. I'm not going to scream but, please update soon.

Series 4

Episode I - "There's a monster in my passage!" And now, for a recap: The Giant of Bab-il is already at large fulfilling Golbez's evil scheme to annihilate the Earth, two lone mountain ranges and a few acres of grassy plains have already suffered due to the machine's destructive nature. Obviously something must be done, but what will our heroes do? They've only a giant flying whale and a moonman- But wait! Ah, how the tables have turned! It seems that Cid and his genius airship maintenence crew have discovered the machine's main weakness, which is apparently yelling out affirmation! YES! Now it's time to make the move on the Giant of Bab-il, but not before a few heartfelt introductions. You heard the man, it looks like Cecil and company will be entering the machine through the mouth. Take landing on his big mechanical tongue. To prevent the potential argument, YES destructive machines do have tongues and they are very purposeful! Actually, giant destructive robots are much more genetically similar to humans than you would probably expect. And Hold on: Mouth, neck, chest, stomach... What's after stomach? Oh yeah, passage. Passage is an internal organ that is commonly totally forgotten about, but it's in every one of us! As a bit of trivia, Passage is the anatomical part of our bodies that spawned the popular children's song "The stomach is connected to the passage." Make your way through the elusive organ to the robot's lung, your next destination. YES! I'm telling you, robot's have lungs too! In the lung you'll be launched into a battle with the evil Second Hand Smoke! No wait... actually it's none other than the four elemental fiends who not only have been revived, but have been given the intimidating power of finishing each other's sentences! BREATHED life; they're in the LUNG, how clever! The fiend's newly gained ability to talk for each other and the ingenious concept of fighting together instead of getting killed off one by one should spell certain death for Cecil and the party, but thanks to a certain moonman with lots of good magic, it spells a very anticlimactic death line instead, courtesy of Rubicant, better known among his elemental peers as "That Idiot" Be sure to save your game back in the passage before continuing on, more trouble awaits the team in the next room, er.. organ. Instead of removing the CPU from the ZIF socket, you will decide to attack it with swords, magic, and summoned beasts. I'm not sure what speed this CPU runs at, but judging by it's ability to do 9999 damage when the north and south bridge on the motherboard are fried, I'm guessing it will be in Alienware PCs within the next couple of months. After destroying the CPU, the Giant of Bab-il is finally put to rest. But it's not over yet! Golbez will surprise the party with an evil statement somewhere along the lines of "GOSH Everytime I come up with a good plan to destroy the world you mess it up!" But don't worry, Golbez is finally going to come around. I'm going to be totally honest with you, he did have a little more hatred than the average Joe. So it turns out that Golbez was being controlled all along (go figure) by an evil moonman named Zemus, so he's got a perfectly good reason to want to settle the score. In all fairness, it would be a hate crime if the other moonman didn't watch him settle the score. Kain has been fooled so many times by this moonman throughout the course of Final Fantasy IV, that if he doesn't want to go beat the crap out of him now everyone else on the team will surely refer to him as "The dumb sissy" for the rest of his days, so Kain clearly has his reasons set out for him. And then; There is Edge... The original translation of this textbox was "You're going to need me for a full 5-member party!" If you can honestly and earnestly use the following phrase at any point in the entirety of your life, consider yourself an accomplished human being. TO BE CONTINUED! (Seriously, get off the big whale.)

Holy Mackeral! An Update!

I love you Necro!

I especially like the giant of babil 'organs' part leading to the 'passage', that was pretty hilarious.

Rosa: Cecil!
Rydia: What!?


I love you so much Nec!

"Actually, giant destructive robots are much more genetically similar to humans than you would probably expect."

"The original translation of this textbox was "You're going to need me for a full 5-member party!""

Good stuff... It's good to see an update, that's for sure.

Are you gonna do the optional stuff, like Bahamut, Odin, and the Namingways?

He's already done the Town of Phantom Beasts, the Sylph Cave, and the Humingway colony, so I'd say Odin and Bahamut are a sure thing. Maybe even the Adamantite quest.

Whoo-hoo! That was awesome! I would love to see Odin and Bahamut's quest!

Another quality piece of work. :)

Well done.

Classy :D

"It seems that Cid and his genius airship maintenence crew have discovered the machine's main weakness, which is apparently yelling out affirmation! YES!"

*dies laughing*

Takara, how I love you. Dance, DANCE

Once again, Necro made my day. :D

I've spent the better part of the last hour and a half laughing my ass off.

This is great stuff, man. Feel free to break your arm patting yourself on the back.

My passage hurts from laughing so much. :D

I enjoyed the bit about the CPU, too.

But seriously, get off the Big Whale.

Finally found the time (read: remembererd to find the time) to read all of this after coming across it due to a reported post back when I, er, responded to a reported post.

And I have to say that this stuff is fantastic. I was laughing out loud (literally) (...maybe that's what they mean when they say loll...) at various parts, most notably the area where the crew is going through the body of the giant. Great stuff, Necro. Quality. Good job.

"Come on Get off the Big Whale"

that's hilarious.... I'll try that one out sometime

THE JACKEL

So awesome....

And I expect the Bahamut and Odin sidequests will be addressed. We've already seen reference to the book with the Bahamut strategy, after all. ;)

Have I told you lately, that I love you? Cause yeah. :love:

I just urinated from laughing so hard. Thanks a LOT, that's ANOTHER pair of pants I have to burn!

That was great. I loved it! Get the next one up soon, ok? Come on, get off the big whale and write!

I love you so much! n.n You're awesome.

WOW, nice walkthrough. And very hilarious too :D

Heh, heh. Great stuff. Nice to see an update. :)

Sweet. I'm late on this, but great update!

Man, late again.

Anyway, great stuff. Can't wait to see the next update.

So, I haven't been here in a while, and what do I find out, that the comics are even better. They are great. Fantastic.

I have just read everything,from the beggining........it's hilarious!!!!!!I laughed out loud for about an hour!!!!!! Necro,you are a GOD!!!!!

Yeah that would be the ideal time you'd tackle them.. heheh more material :D though I'm a nut, love a challenge and go for Bahamut first before the Giant.

Haha very good! I reread some of it to catch me up and Im still LOL XD Keep to the books (done soon if not now I bet) and keep up the good work!

Your work is hilarious! FF IV is one of my favourite games and I really appreciated it. I'm looking forward for more. ^__^
And I think you should also add some comments on non - easytye translation one day when you're finished with this. Things like the Baronian strip dancer, Nobuo Uematsu turned into a red chocobo and the Playboy Magazine item (in the Programmer's Room, that unfortunately easytype version doesn't have) are a must see! :D

What am I seekin here.. An update! Yes, that´s what we need, an update!

:bigbiggri :bigbiggri :bigbiggri :bigbiggri :bigbiggri :bigbiggri :bigbiggri

"There is a pot of recovery above me", so are they AWARE that they are living in a 2D world? I thought they were supposed to think it was 3D lol. Do you mind if I put a link to your website on mine?

If I was granted 3 wishes, 1 of them would be to make Necro update "Ah, The Power of Cheese" more frequently. :p

hey cool necroctopus, you look a lot like your son

oh yeah thanks for the comics btw but I'm stuck on the boss now :confused:

Haha, I notice that kind of stuff in Final Fantasy games all the time. Especially crap like Auron defeating Sin and everything with Jecht, but as soon as he's in your party, he's like, barely better than Tidus who has never held a sword.

Whoa....maybe it's the aging.....:p

Nec, when will the next Episode be out?

I enjoyed all the previous episodes you've done a great job..

I apologize for the lack of updates, I'm just very busy after graduation. I'm moving, transferring, and working on getting a job near my new house. I promise I'll continue the series as soon as possible.

Thanks for being patient.

Thanks to you for making us laugh. We'll wait. :)
