FFIV- I'm going to attempt to play this game AGAIN

Part 17 - How Many Playable Characters Are There?

I will be leaving for the weekend tomorrow so I decided to get another update in here before I go!

First I go and tell Yang's wife the news

http://i.imgur.com/7E9Itev.png

She doesn't take it well :(

Then I head back to Baron and go see Cid's daughter

http://i.imgur.com/tX23BDT.png

Awkward.

And then I go talk to Cid's men like he asked me to

http://i.imgur.com/bJXqs6R.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/UV1pb7q.png

Oh yeah. The hovercraft

http://i.imgur.com/6iUbe5U.png

I think that's a pretty big hint as to where I'm going

http://i.imgur.com/Tafxzyk.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/gISbsk1.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8VtCI4h.png


....


So I head to the place they said

http://i.imgur.com/eNKSiTW.png

Oh look!

http://i.imgur.com/6ANeqP3.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/KUTUj9g.png

Hmm you know I'm starting to wonder. I suddenly have an open spot in my party, this is a Ninja place, they keep talking about the prince, I just got a some ninja stuff in a chest...

Isn't it a bit late in the game for new playable characters? My goodness there's a lot of them

So I head over to the tower of Babel and find the prince

http://i.imgur.com/3vGoYoZ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/LNtSRLM.png

Ouch

http://i.imgur.com/MMZNsyY.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/luQ79VU.png

http://i.imgur.com/d410iJb.png

So they duel and Egde loses badly after I take my max HP cheat off because the fight wouldn't end

I have to say... This is a really pretty window colour

http://i.imgur.com/uCUc9QA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4g6lyUd.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3FUxiD6.png

The heroes. Obviously

http://i.imgur.com/2fgeyyW.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/bQbT2bU.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/l8LWNlf.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/9YJgq79.png

So he doesn't want to join me. I am okay with that

http://i.imgur.com/NDur9Hl.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/LDYgBxH.png

Well turns out he can't stand a lady crying so he changes his mind

http://i.imgur.com/3n0bqIG.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/s7By5MS.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ud2sP4n.png

See?

Roa cures him.

Is it just me or does Rosa have the cutest sprite ever

http://i.imgur.com/wpo8ch7.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jCYSQN5.png

Yeah...

http://i.imgur.com/lqxwCRK.png

oh yay woo

So we head on over to the tower of Babil again

Gettin real sick of this place

http://i.imgur.com/Z4GyrYa.png

Edge goes through the wall because why not.

So anyways, up the tower (down?) we go

http://i.imgur.com/q1F2TpZ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/W7AEOnm.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/RGSkChY.png

"Alive"

http://i.imgur.com/iJ8lDza.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/1RUpCDX.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/hTqG5fP.png

So a creepy boss fight starts

http://i.imgur.com/x0fL6Gp.png

Before long his parents snap out of it and realize they have become monsters. It's actually pretty touching

http://i.imgur.com/pRy65qW.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/84hAyzl.png

And they leave and Edge is all sad :(

http://i.imgur.com/xbVVw2t.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ESZy3aT.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/PW31RFV.png

This... this is interesting? What's up with Rubicante?

http://i.imgur.com/UXvulAe.png

....I am pretty speechless right now. GJ Final Fantasy IV

http://i.imgur.com/cNJcHcq.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/OTKSPDV.png

Edge learns two more skills. So to get him to learn new skills, I have to anger him. Maybe steal his lunch money or put a nail in his shoe

http://i.imgur.com/opihL4U.png

So we fight against him and his stylish cape and we win

http://i.imgur.com/yzWymJq.png

That seems to imply he'll be back. Will he be back?

http://i.imgur.com/yCIK2lS.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/CWgZMfA.png

Edge's posse shows up a bit late to the party

http://i.imgur.com/mt63WIZ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/xGezSl2.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8Dkvh7o.png

Still think that plan sounds loony

http://i.imgur.com/RYlWQfz.png

oh yay woo

http://i.imgur.com/U9z2dNL.png

I do have to admit, Edge has been through a lot in the past few minutes

http://i.imgur.com/So8M0S6.png

So we head in to the Crystal room

Seriously, why does everyone just have a crystal room readily available?

http://i.imgur.com/qm8q5J5.png

This was honestly the quickest I'd ever seen Cecil react to anything.

So we fall through the floor

http://i.imgur.com/frUQSZ1.png

And eventually find a random airship

http://i.imgur.com/0O70Wk2.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/MuHktY2.png

Rly Rydia :|

http://i.imgur.com/Ht9CoPb.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8langVZ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/0N2PKmT.png

And now we are back in teh underworld with our new Airship the Falcon.

What will happen next? Tune in next week :monster:

I'm back :D

Part 18 - Summons and Stuff

So I'm in the underworld and I see that basically the only place I can go is back to the Dwarf Castle because I can't fly over lava.

At least I get to hear the cool music again.

So I get there and someone tells me about someone in the infirmary... hmm

http://i.imgur.com/qKWYXo6.png

Speaking of which, what the heck ever happened to Edward

http://i.imgur.com/VgPA0aF.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4sFt4Q2.png

Instead of answering, he and Edge get in to some verbal powpow as Cid seems to do

http://i.imgur.com/8Wfs9tz.png

:|

Ahem so anyway

http://i.imgur.com/7bngWYE.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/9r1MzUo.png

Oh I thought he had them all. Am I ever behind :lol:

http://i.imgur.com/XCGIuy3.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/e7PPRyp.png

That's what I said!

http://i.imgur.com/1nQAmye.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ZNRyTJC.png

The dwarfs want him to rest up but he isn't having it

http://i.imgur.com/l9yqzZm.png

So we see a little airship work montage and he and Edge do some silent bonding(?)

http://i.imgur.com/zwH72h8.png

Thanks Cid!

Then the music changes

http://i.imgur.com/MzbscLN.png

Is he dying :onoes:

http://i.imgur.com/q80M016.png

No. No he isn't

So I let him rest and go speak with the King

http://i.imgur.com/rz2bre7.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/kNgDbwX.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Hn494sh.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/viAzfuj.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/5icWmJ5.png

Because the last plan worked out so well

http://i.imgur.com/gz4CRJv.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Zb9Abs4.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/8tcijd4.png

I feel a bit odd bringing the key to the Cavern right to where Golbez is trying to unseal the cavern

http://i.imgur.com/0lmf8Ug.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4rjLqfV.png

I feel like the crystals are a big source of stress for everybody

BUT FIRST

http://i.imgur.com/GqvA2Lz.png

And find the right cave I do

http://i.imgur.com/o6NCWPS.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ECAKP3d.png

Pretty ugly so far :-/

And I get burned a lot




A LOT

So eventually I arrive in the summon mcsummonville

http://i.imgur.com/PUhm95C.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/u4d7cgj.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/huUBc6j.png

All good facts

http://i.imgur.com/DFmzYUF.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/16IN3bQ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/yIMmO6s.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/dxFkrBZ.png

BOSS FIGHT

http://i.imgur.com/aDvQDsV.png

That's how she starts the fight. And then she heals herself. And she does a good bit of damage. But after a little while

http://i.imgur.com/bV2MuzR.png

Yay :jess:

Then I talk to the old dude who LIED TO ME AND TOLD ME HE WAS JUST AN OLD DUDE

http://i.imgur.com/SOtobvM.png

He likes to Tsunami me.

Anyways I am happy to see Leviathan as the king of summons. I feel he gets kind of left behind in most FF games

http://i.imgur.com/9fUnkye.png

And I feel like that's a good chunk to do today

Tune in next time :monster:

Shion! You forgot to cast Float on your party?

:shifty:

TBF, it doesn't matter cuz she has infinite HP

MOAR

If she hasn't been doing any leveling she might not even have the spell float yet.

Yar I have le float :monster:

Part 19 - So Much Stuff Yet So Little

So I found a little Dwarf village and was soon going to continue the game but then they told me about a Sylph cave. So off to the Sylph cave where I now remember to use Float and then oh yeah I find Yang

http://i.imgur.com/auOoThA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/9BGaqFY.png

Okay so ummm

Yep :|

Then I find this other little place in the corner of nowhere and nothing

http://i.imgur.com/tEh9t5t.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/uCkBosj.png

I don't have that.

Also, your business is in a terrible location if you expect regular customers

So after that and some leveling I head to the cave finally

http://i.imgur.com/KP0bWHt.png

So I unseal it and then head in

And this junk happens :nonono:

http://i.imgur.com/JoanZ2G.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/DUnLqYt.png

It's a really ugly door

So I go through the long evil door's dungeon and get the Dark Crystal. Not the movie though, I could have just ordered that online

http://i.imgur.com/SlT1hub.png

But nothing is ever that easy so

http://i.imgur.com/giA2ReU.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/oQi2xku.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/C3KgEj9.png

BOSS FIGHT

http://i.imgur.com/NMFWEbC.png

We meet again, Demon Wall

So anyways, after that I suspiciously notice that I can't warp out of the dungeon

http://i.imgur.com/1dvdjmX.png

That's what I said

http://i.imgur.com/4UjzK3X.png

Oh boy here we go again :-/

http://i.imgur.com/GmmpQlk.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/5OGI675.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/eCYKn2d.png

He says immediately before attacking me and stealing the crystal

http://i.imgur.com/yQHjPWL.png

That's what you say when your friend attacks you and steals your crystal

http://i.imgur.com/A2720l3.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/R2lk2Bz.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jWtIduK.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jpgjTQY.png

Still on about that moon thing, huh

So that's all for today! Another plan failure under our belt. We should seriously consider hiring a professional strategist at this rate

Okay clearly I missed the part where you spent infinity hours leveling up because why do you have 9999 hp?

Ha!

MOAR

:3

Its a cheat code metagloria xD I mentioned it in one of my posts

CHEATER! :p

I don't blame you, it's an annoying game to play through normally.

Part 20 - Hitting a Man Over The Head With A Frying Pan And Traveling To The Moon, My Life Is Complete

So I go back to let the Dwarf King know what a disappointment I am

http://i.imgur.com/SDV8B5u.png

:G

http://i.imgur.com/tL9bmlA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/eXQsmt7.png

It's not nice to call fat people Lunar Whales

http://i.imgur.com/t1gRY6B.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/L06Ftnr.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/y657eA1.png

Yeah I remember that


:crying2:

http://i.imgur.com/pj2UI60.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/w01nZMw.png

Don't judge him :colbert:

http://i.imgur.com/kCRZLks.png

But the exit is s-

http://i.imgur.com/7bgLdyb.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/mzKBHZB.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/BHrbOu4.png

WHO COULD THAT MYSTERIOUS VOICE BE

http://i.imgur.com/bnbArfV.png

Oh its just Cid

http://i.imgur.com/ssAh1fw.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3M9V94J.png

Cid isn't concerned

http://i.imgur.com/fq9Sx7q.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/CX9yb2j.png

But I don't know how

Doesn't matter, he puts us to work anyway. Eventually our Ninja friend slinks off to chat up the ladies and Cid is not pleased

http://i.imgur.com/nyVX3mP.png

There's some jumping around and such

http://i.imgur.com/xIH7L7u.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/77KK24X.png

Eventually old man Cid has had enough

http://i.imgur.com/Kqta29e.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/JJ206nL.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/k7CNSF2.png

Who is going to be my 5th party member then :confused:

http://i.imgur.com/IsanXoz.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ELoLpOk.png

Okay Cid, thank you

So with our new drill we can bust open the top of the mountain thing again

http://i.imgur.com/AsG9Uq6.png

So also I google'd cleverly figured out what to do about Yang, so I headed over to see his wife

http://i.imgur.com/cX0UweX.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/x5TV7C9.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/jXjGqCm.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/51KRy3d.png

So she gives me a frying pan and I head back to the underworld and thump him over the head

http://i.imgur.com/dblZjam.png

No you stop

http://i.imgur.com/oadU6u0.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4xdolBq.png

No..

http://i.imgur.com/FcB9qun.png

Way to blow your cover Cecil :colbert:

http://i.imgur.com/5JYm6FD.png

I gathered that thank you

http://i.imgur.com/h4jCgZL.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/CWuquyk.png

But the Sylph's fuss at him

http://i.imgur.com/BH2nNre.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/B9iHWhu.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/KSWolQN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/4gsp7QW.png

So um

Still no fifth party member

Also, the tower is glowing and its pretty weird :erm:

http://i.imgur.com/Qh2kZ3Q.png

Ahem so with that we head back to Mysidia

http://i.imgur.com/aLEwRZj.png

We head to the place to pray and the legend gets spoken to me again

http://i.imgur.com/Prn6aYK.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/d0eTek0.png

Cecil is making zero effort here

http://i.imgur.com/gi8HAfo.png

:erm:

http://i.imgur.com/pzUaAXK.png

Oh good

http://i.imgur.com/zruX6HH.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/fFySilV.png

Ta da! It's a big whale looking airship!

Now the airship Cid spent all that time on is never to be heard from again

http://i.imgur.com/g3mpAfQ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wXxTNcx.png

yeah okay

http://i.imgur.com/0oJsCY2.png

I'm guessing the Lunar Whale

http://i.imgur.com/9wWnjVa.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/huescis.png

None of this is strange or anything

So anywho, off to the moon!

http://i.imgur.com/UWxsTus.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/qUz6xEU.png

The moon is ugly!

But hey, 3 different world maps in one game is pretty darn impressive

Let's do things on the moon!

First I find Bahamut's Cave and these strange children

http://i.imgur.com/bH9W9uG.png

And then I find Bahamut

http://i.imgur.com/QVVc5KT.png

I mean it has to prove SOMETHING

http://i.imgur.com/driwsCL.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/1mC7yE3.png

So I would like to stress that I won this battle entirely due to my max HP cheat. He would have wiped the floor with me otherwise

http://i.imgur.com/q2jaBJY.png

Yaaay

http://i.imgur.com/YCjFRjp.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/dz5WkHc.png

Seriously WHO ARE THESE KIDS?!?!?!

Anyways then I find this place here

http://i.imgur.com/FRuqk7h.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/b6T8Bah.png

So that... that all happened

Tune in next time :monster:

You made sure to make good use of reflect in the Bahamut fight, right?
