WSC graphics are much more advanced than that. It was probably made from the white magic merchant by Kevin, the same guy who made Garland's sprite.

It sure was!
Some one should put this thread in the archive.
Maybe once it's closed we will.
OOC: Just out of curiosity, did Dr Unne become a Cid's Knight while I wasn't paying attention? Or has he been that way?
An interesting use of that poem, I'd say...
Heh, the Ram fighting style.
Btw, anyone got a guess on how the party will screw the boat up somehow?
The boat will probably be really crappy with bandages on the side an sails with holes in and the likes.
Hm... I think they will get attacked and Bm will hadoken the sail or something. Just something involving hadoken would be great.
Isn't Hadoken a street fighter attack, or something?
It is indeed. The way a Black Mage holds out his hands when casting a spell is very similar to the form a person supposedly takes when throwing a hadoken in the Street Fighter series, so Brian made the connection and started having BM casting a hadoken spell. If it is spelled using the kanji I think it does, "hadoken" translates to something along the lines of "surging technique." Most people to settle for translating it to "fireball," though, since that's basically what it is.
Ooooh, thankyouverymuch.
Err...here's this...
Edit by Kishi: The comics are too large in general to post here without becoming a nuisance. People can find them on their own, anyway.
*resurrects thread*
184. Best comic ever. Replace the Creep with a sock, and there you have it.
(I might archive this soon. But someone will probably just make another one, so who knows.)
Since it's ressurected my oppinion on comic 184 is: way too short, most comics are 33% bigger than this one, I don't kow why he made it that short.
Dr. Unne, doesn't the maker of this comic use the sprites from your website? You should mail him.
I just love the whole armior of invincibility thing, that is so classic...
yup, the armoire was funny, I really like it, heres a few links to webcomics
www.ffglory.com
www.megatokyo.com
www.penny-arcade.com
If you notice, I have a link to 8BT in my sig...
Unne, don't archive it. It must live.
I think the top-right panel of 181 was pure genius.
I wonder if they'll ever visit the peninsula north of Pravoka?
Lol, that would be uber, everyone 'cept BM would die then White mage would come and save the day.
So somehow I ran across 8-bit last week or so when it was on episode 180. By the time I read all of them, it was up to 181. Then I was gonna post a thread on it, but just as I was going to do so, I saw this thread resurrected, so i started reading it. THEN, I ran across the reference to bobandgeorge.com, so I went and checked that out. I finished that up yesterday, and just now finished reading this whole thread.
*whew*
So...uh, reading several years of web comics in the space of a few days.... That sort of achievement is only, like, one step short of being the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, right?
Do I get a prize or anything?
Loving 8-bit, and loving Bob and George, although I will admit that early 8-bit was better.
Jon
The episode when BM said he didnt have any hadouken's left so he grabbed the Fighter and used fighterdoken! That was a good one, oh, and two fisted monkey style attack!
Ha ha! I thought the black belt getting eaten was hilarious!
"Dear god! Hes ripping the entrails out of the creature from the inside!"
"...help..."
"I can almost hear the creep scream"
Darn that thief. Darn him!
hehehe...
We need to be moving along though. We've been standing by this creepin creepy creep for three weeks or something like that.
I love the NP cameo.
Bets on the what now?
b14ck m4g3 !5 7h3 funk!35+ d00d5+3r @r0und, |-|3 i5 50 1337!!!!111
i love this stuff...
even though it is taking quite a long time.
my favorite episode though is from awhile ago when the whole episode was about Bm trying to hook up with Wm with those horrible pickup lines, and she's smacking all over the place.
Darn that Brian! He won't have it up till noon. How am I supposed to get my morning 8-bit fix?
grrr...
Can't complain, though. I'd never have time to do what he's doing. :-)
the new one is up, it's kinda funny
The new one was good.
He can still make some great comics. IMO, he should go down to just the two a week. More time for creativity would mean a better product for everyone
I'm wondering how the guest comics will turn out
what happened to 188, it's gone
Weird! Maybe he's revising it?
At how long it takes them to face a random encounter how long do you think it will take them to face Lich? And not only that...how wussie do you think Lich (Plus Vampire, ugh he was easier than garland) will be!
it would probably take another year, till they even get to astos
Well, even though it's a long gap between peices of actual plot, the space inbetween is just plain cool.:)
The guest comics were almost 100% cool and fun to read, but I sure am glad he's back to his regular strip. And I am DEFINITELY glad that 8-BIT (SPOILER)the Creep is dead and gone!
I just think its hilarious how Fighter lands, says: "I think I'm gonna be alright"
SQUISH!
Is this some kind of SICK CRUEL JOKE that my computer is playing on me, or is the site really down? (8bt site)
the best part about the story moving along slowly is, that as long as there is still support for his comic, he can continue the FF1 story for a couple more years.
WOW, 191 sux.
DAMN IT BRIAN! get them on their way to Provoka already!
Edit by Kishi: Don't double-post.
191 was pretty subpar, compared to the rest. 189 was fantastic.
i agree about 189. It was so amazingly funny.
"Everyone do the Black Mage. 'specially you White Mage." :)
such a funny line
Yeah 191 isn't great.
Don't double post Dragonfire, there is an edit/delete command.
um....I don't get it.
191 was just another of those weird ones. He did one on a specific game before, and has had a few other just plain weird ones before that. Not for comedy's sake that one, just a minor joke, but it's all good.
Edit: Looks like the TRUE 191 is up now. Good. Good but not great.
Haha, I love 8 bit theater!
Red Mage and Thief make for a funny combo, the whole time Fighter is under the armoire, Black Belt is in the Creep's mouth and Black Mage is having his inner dialogue and they're timing BM... hahaha
"Four minutes, twenty seconds, gettin nervous?"
"Nope, you?"
:p
Oh, theres too many good moments, but thats the most recent one I can think of.
btw, I'm new 'round here :rolleyes2
Welcome, Sentinel. Pull up a cow stool and stay awhile.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddddddddddy-Ho!
Welcome to the forum with 10 bored posters talking about Final fantasy 1 parties everyday! Hyuk Hyuk Hyuk.
The night falling made me giggle. Thief's commentary on Red Mage made me say "hmmm"
That's about it.
I can't believe this thread is still alive! :D
Aside from the episodes, the Ask Evil Princess Sara and Twinkin' Out With Red Mage are also fun to read. :)
I haven't been able to access the page in about a week now, anyone have any advice?
So funny!
Fighter + armory = fun :)
Red Mage + Warcraft = also fun :)
Man, Bikke OWNS Garland.
Bikke = LeChuck?
*Leovs 8-bit*

Black Mage finally stabbed Fighter. I guess we can all go home now.
Pfft. He's going to get back up, laugh it off, and call BM silly...and we'll be back at square one.
Cheers.
We're all learn it was nothing but another dream sequence.
Drat those comic aurthors and their dream sequences of confusion.
It may have been mentioned already, but let's not forget www.bobandgeorge.com because he started it.
You know, with a comic with the star pure evil, and a comic with the star pure stupid, I think I shall start a comic. The main character shall be purely....insane! Hmm, but what lame arse sprites to base it on? Ah, Zelda! Link should be fine for an insane fellow. He runs into houses, breaks all their belongings, asks them about stuff, and leaves. He's not stupid though, because he has this amazing ability to solve amazingly complex engineering problems in any underground place he goes to, and can learn the contents of whole books instantly.
On topic, me lovses the 8-bit.
Now they just plain suck. I mean, the thief is the Elf Prince? How predictable and inaccurate is that? I just had to stop reading them, because not only is the plot repetitive and stupid, all they do is friggin yack.
I swear, all that author's trying to do is show off his vocabulary skills.
Considering he's trying to keep the events semi loyal to FF1's I'd say he's doing a good job.
I'm with Paladin, here. Given how predictable and inaccurate the source material occasionally is, I'm not sure that's something you can fault the strip for. I mean, it's a parody, right? How often do you follow those for the plot, anyway?
Yeah, but the thing is, it used to be funny at some point.
I'm still laughing.
That could be a medical condition.
Predictable and inaccurate? Thief would be the elf prince, as he states several times that he doesn't want to go. It's called foreshadowing, hinting at upcoming events. The comic would become just plain nuts if crazy plot twists just happened. I also don't think Brian has had time to play through the game several times and get the plot down, I don't blame him for making it inaccurate. You have to trail off a bit if its going to be funny and entertain an audience that hasn't played the game.
Repititve and stupid? The plot has ALWAYS been stupid, its supposed to be. I don't think its very repetitive either. They went from a port to the middle of the ocean across a rocket-ship to the Elven kingdom, and are now preparing to leave for the Marsh Cave. The jokes are getting a bit repetitive but he has to develop the plot, and the Elven kingdom isn't very exciting. After they get out, there will be more opportunities for jokes.
All they do is yak? Its the ramblings of the characters, like Black Mage's recently, that makes it funny. Brian's massive vocabulary allows him to use adjectives in a way I never thought possible, which just adds to the laughter. Black Mage's rant about how he is superior all leads up to him being told by the ninjas without him even saying a word.
I still find it funny. I'm pretty sure things will pick up once they hit the Marsh Caves.
Of course.Quote:

Brian has said a few times before that he's not at all trying to copy the plot/story, but that it's supposed to be "loosely", as i believe he put it, on the plot. I also think he said that in the FAQ
I like episode 25. that is the only picture of Black Mage doing the best spell that never existed in the FF saga.

Oh. Also. Who here saw the animated 8-bit theatre? 'twas awesome.
Um yeah, but it used to be funny. I will admit that the latest ones have been a bit better, though.Quote:
Repititve and stupid? The plot has ALWAYS been stupid, its supposed to be.
Perhaps to those who like to hold cocktail parties tittering about dénouement, juxtaposition and dipthongs. Really, all of the characters speak exactly the same.Quote:

I've been hoping for that for a while.Quote:
I'm pretty sure things will pick up...
No, those were my to-hit dice. These are my damage dice!
I like the recent one where fighter escapes the web and starts running in circles WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I really like how long it took to set up and reveal Astos, and now that he's been introduced, he'll actually last for a while. Along with Bikke, he's all set up to join Garland in a more inclusive evil alliance than is found in the game. Nice.
Hang on a sec...Who's Bikke again? Kinda forgot. :eep:
The pirate from Pravoka.
He kind of died.Quote:

I love it! the comic gets better and better all the time!
Black mage and Fighter are my favourite characters, Black mage i so evil and Fighter is to dumb for hes own god.
I wish they would've spent more time on the whole Marsh Cave thing. They didn't even fight any Wizards did they?
Well I talk about it almost every day and I make sure I'm awais up to date with the new comics. Of course only one person here on EOFF would know that. So yes I love 8-bit Theater.
I thought it was awfully obvious that Astos didn't really die and just made a deceptive retreat.
>>> Wow.. This comic is sucking very badly, just look at all that Lich thing..
Brian finally ran out of good ideas..
I actually liked the whole Lich battle. It was amusing to me. Then again I'm just easily amused.
It's always amazed me how Brian has been able to fit his ludicrous story into the FF1 plot.
