Let's Play Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest

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.

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

Attachment 41216
Dude, all my stuff was there.

Attachment 41217
That's not an answer!

Attachment 41218
The flying cloud only seats one.

Attachment 41219
Could have sworn there was a mountain there.

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

Attachment 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.

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

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

Attachment 41224Attachment 41225
Not sure I'm going to like where this is going.

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

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

Attachment 41229
We could have been gone by now.

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

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

Attachment 41232
Not so tough without your horns!

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

Attachment 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.

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

Attachment 41236
Seconds later and a more favourable result.

Attachment 41237
Dude, I smurfing died back there.

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

Attachment 41239
Son of a bitch!

Attachment 41240
Cough 'em up old man!

Attachment 41241
SON OF A BITCH!

Attachment 41242
Can I assume some leveling will be involved?

Attachment 41243
Yeah, we're confused too kid.

Attachment 41244
Spoiler alert: you probably never find out.

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

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

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

Attachment 41248
Whoah old man! Keep it in your pants.

Attachment 41249
Not sure if euphemism...

Attachment 41250
Foresta: where people quite literally live in trees.

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

Attachment 41252
She's the trusting sort.

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

Attachment 41254
I've had enough of your jibber jabber.

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

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 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?

Attachment 41259
And any concern for her daughter has melted away.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41261
Is it stealing if Kaeli's with me?

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

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

Attachment 41264
Finally got a line on the loot.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41266
It only took several decades.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 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*

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

Attachment 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.

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!

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

This is great, I look forward to reading more.

Attachment 41303
More effective than poking it with my sword.

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

Attachment 41305
Square demonstrating their racial sensitivity.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 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.

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

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

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

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

Attachment 41312
What did I say about seeing a specialist?

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

Attachment 41315
Tree syphilis.

Attachment 41316
Attachment 41317
We all know where this is going.

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

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

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

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

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

Attachment 41323
SON OF A BITCH!

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

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

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

Attachment 41327
Kaeli's not THAT hot.

Attachment 41328
A true salesman sticks to his guns.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41330
Okay, but I don't do anal.

Attachment 41331
Sounds perfectly safe guy I just met.

Attachment 41332
Attachment 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.

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

Attachment 41335
Risking our lives on a maybe? Totally reasonable.

Attachment 41336
Vivi Von Fancy Pants to my friends.

Attachment 41337
Interesting choice of Ninja name.

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

Attachment 41339
I'm as shocked as you are.

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

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

Attachment 41342
Entering bone dungeon. Sounds pleasant.

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

Attachment 41344
not very bird like apparently.

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

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

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

Attachment 41349
Does anyone actually say no?

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

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

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

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

Attachment 41354
First bit of black magic.

Attachment 41355
Attack the big red monster head on? STRATEGY!

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

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

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

Attachment 41359
Tristam sleeping on the job.

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

Attachment 41361
Almost there.

Attachment 41362
Attachment 41363
Everyone knows crystals are secretly worthless.

Attachment 41364
Now he can molest me from across the room.

Attachment 41365
A man of his word.

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

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

Attachment 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:



You won't regret it.

This thread is better than the actual game.

Not that that takes much.

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

But yes, this is priceless. XD

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

Attachment 41475
Back to Forest town.

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

Attachment 41477
Now now, don't rush me.

Attachment 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...

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

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

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

Attachment 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.

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

Attachment 41484
Sorry dude, I had plans.

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41487
Finally starting to live up to my name.

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

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

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

Attachment 41491
She makes a hell of a first impression.

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41494
Luck and careful plotting.

Attachment 41495
smurf him, let him die.

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

Attachment 41497
Now for Fridays lottery numbers.

Attachment 41498
Nothing says helpful like forcing yourself on a woman.

Attachment 41499
Not that she seems to mind.

Attachment 41500
Attachment 41501
Not very aquatic.

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

Attachment 41503
Physics!

Attachment 41504
Invisible monsters? Sure kid.

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

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

Attachment 41507
I didn't listen to the dying Grandma.

Attachment 41508
Attachment 41509
Sounds nice and convoluted.

Attachment 41510
Sorry, I was staring at your boobs.

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

Attachment 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.

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

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

Attachment 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 trout you not.

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

Attachment 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.

This is some serious Ballz to the wallz action.

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

Better than the absolutely hideous dialogue in the game.

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.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41789

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

Attachment 41790

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

Attachment 41791

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

Attachment 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?

Attachment 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?

Attachment 41794

These puzzles practically solve themselves.

Attachment 41795

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

Attachment 41796

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41798

The spring must be lined with lead.

Attachment 41799

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

Attachment 41800

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

Attachment 41801

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41803

Always a step ahead. Damn him!

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41805

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

Attachment 41806

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

Attachment 41807

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

Attachment 41808

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

Attachment 41809

She took that remarkably well.

Attachment 41810

I'm not actually sure how I know this.

Attachment 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.

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

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

Attachment 41828

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41830

Ahhh! It's a talking box.

Attachment 41831

Important items are always in treasure chests.

Attachment 41832

Called it.

Attachment 41833

Insert PS3 joke here.

Attachment 41834

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

Attachment 41835

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

Attachment 41836

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

Attachment 41837

You've been holding out on me?

Attachment 41838

This would have been useful information a dungeon ago.

Attachment 41839

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41841

Ice Pyramid. It's about damn time.

Attachment 41842

No sensible adventurer would fight monsters in heels.

Attachment 41843

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

Attachment 41844

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

Attachment 41845

No monsters in sight? This'll be easy!

Attachment 41846

Oh god! They're invisible!

Attachment 41847

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

Attachment 41848

Noble? Ironic armour might be more like it.

Attachment 41849

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

Attachment 41850

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

Attachment 41851

Impressive since he's made of ice.

Attachment 41852

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

Attachment 41853

Holy trout! Fire works!

Attachment 41854

Almost there...

Attachment 41855

Another crystal saved.

Attachment 41856

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

Attachment 41857

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

Attachment 41858

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

Attachment 41859

Aquaria is looking much better.

Attachment 41860

Why are you not more concerned?!

Attachment 41861

And how is this under her house?!

Attachment 41862

It doesn't end!

Attachment 41863

WHY ISN'T HE DEAD?!

Attachment 41864

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

Attachment 41865

Yet here I stand shieldless...

Attachment 41866

So in other words it isn't here?

Attachment 41867

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

Attachment 41868

Attachment 41869

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41871

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

Attachment 41872

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

Attachment 41873

Welp, back to Focus Tower...

On Monday that is. :p

I have a tunnel like that under my house.

It's filled with starving wolves, though

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

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

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

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

Nope, still not seeing any white squares.

LSD has that effect.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Attachment 41987

New shield.

Attachment 41988

This old guy again.

Attachment 41989

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

Attachment 41990

Could you just tell me for once?

Attachment 41991

Got a new spell too.

Attachment 41992

This is what the statue was for.

Attachment 41993

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

Attachment 41994

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

Attachment 41995

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

Attachment 41996

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 41998

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 42000

Your dad is James Franco?

Attachment 42001

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

Attachment 42002

Told ya so.

Attachment 42003

I'm an expert at breaking and entering.

Attachment 42004

Or not...

Attachment 42005

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

Attachment 42006

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

Attachment 42007

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

Attachment 42008

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

Attachment 42009

So I heard.

Attachment 42010

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

Attachment 42011

Well smurf.

Attachment 42012

That was stupidly easy.

Attachment 42013

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

Attachment 42014

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

Attachment 42015

The names in this game... I swear.

Attachment 42016

Best Blizzard spell in the series.

Attachment 42017

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

Attachment 42018

Can't pass that up.

Attachment 42019

I'm a viking!

Attachment 42020

Wait, the boulders over there.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 42022

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 42025

Boss time.

Attachment 42026

He seems shocked that I killed his friends.

Attachment 42027

Doing a poor job of vanishing like a ninja.

Attachment 42028

The world map would disagree sir.

Attachment 42029

Careful or you'll put an eye out.

Attachment 42030

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

Attachment 42031

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

Attachment 42032

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

Attachment 42033

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

Attachment 42034

Aha! You can see me after all.

Attachment 42035

I never would have thought of that.

Attachment 42036

Quick stop at a temple.

Attachment 42037

What?

Attachment 42038

Nothing of value in the temple. Back to Fireburg.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 42040

Time to climb the volcano.

Attachment 42041

The smurf are these?

Attachment 42042

Three headed dogs? I should have known.

Attachment 42043

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

Attachment 42044

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

Attachment 42046

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

Attachment 42045

For some reason the ash disappeared as I went higher.

Attachment 42047

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

Attachment 42048

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

Attachment 42049

For a Medusa she doesn't look half bad.

Attachment 42050

I take it back.

Attachment 42051

Not as threatening without her snake hair.

Attachment 42052

Last stop on the way to the Fire Crystal.

Attachment 42053

The smurf?

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.

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

I love this thread so much.

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.

As long as it remains funny

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

ohhhhhh. Can't wait!

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

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

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

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.

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

'tis all good now. :cheers:

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Attachment 46465
I bet this switch is important.

Attachment 46466
Now to find a way to that door.

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

Attachment 46468
And we still aren't done.

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

Attachment 46470
I strongly doubt that.

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

Attachment 46472
Might be time for a name change.

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

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

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

Attachment 46476
Again with the clever names.

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

Attachment 46478
Yeah, that place.

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

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

Attachment 46481
I'm so smurfing sick of this guy.

Attachment 46482
Found this on a brief jaunt beneath Focus Tower.

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

Attachment 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.

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

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

YAAAY! It's back!

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

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

A TV show where I don't get paid.

:(

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

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.

I actually died once.

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....!)

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

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

Attachment 46588
A vine to nowhere. Totally safe.

Attachment 46589
You were thrown from a bridge...

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

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

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

Attachment 46593
I only save one forest per game.

Attachment 46594
I think the trees are telling me to run.

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

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

Attachment 46597
I am an ass.

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

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

Attachment 46600
Back to Aquaria.

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

Attachment 46602
You mean the place I was already headed?

Attachment 46603
We haven't met.

Attachment 46604
Wonder if he's related to Locke?

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

Attachment 46606
You had me at gay sex!

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

Attachment 46608
Good riddance.

Attachment 46609
Our bromance ends just like that.

Attachment 46610
Yes?! :love:

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

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

Attachment 46613
Was it something I said?

Attachment 46614
But I've had bombs for ages already!

Attachment 46615
I've had training remember.

Attachment 46616
Why are you so useless?

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

Attachment 46618
Everyone else hates me. :(

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

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

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

Attachment 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.

Great updates!

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

Attachment 46632
My new claw is a grappling hook.

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

Attachment 46634
Trees within a tree? Treeception.

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

Attachment 46636
Yes, those are their real names.

Attachment 46637
Eat some flaming rock: Meteor!

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

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

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

Attachment 46641
Say what?!

Attachment 46642
The tree is actually walking.

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

Attachment 46644
Another new temple.

Attachment 46645
I hate this guy.

Attachment 46646
What the hell are you for then?

Attachment 46647
The only useful thing in Windia.

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

Attachment 46649
Should we call Mario?

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

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

Attachment 46652
That seems unlikely.

Attachment 46653
What FF would be without?

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

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

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

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

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

Attachment 46706
You've got to read the signs kid.

Attachment 46708
But I made him a fruit cake.

Attachment 46710
Not quite what the map sprite looked like.

Attachment 46711
These names guys. :exdee:

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

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

Attachment 46715
Back to wind town.

Attachment 46716
I believe that was the plan, yes.

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

Attachment 46718
This guy literally doesn't even know me.

Attachment 46719
Please don't rape her.

Attachment 46721
There's a euphemism in here somewhere.

Attachment 46722
For the record, I hate the next dungeon.

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

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

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

Attachment 46728
Seriously, this is the first room.

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

Attachment 46731
There is a catch right?

Attachment 46732
And he immediately disappears.

Attachment 46733
Okay.

Attachment 46735
They always say that.

Attachment 46737
Not bad.

Attachment 46752
Gilgamesh would be proud.

Attachment 46753
Flippin' all dem switches.

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

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

Attachment 46756
I know what I'm having for dinner.

Attachment 46757
Roast chicken.

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

Attachment 46759
Just about done I'd say.

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

Attachment 46761
Crystal saved.

Attachment 46762
Quit stalling old man.

Attachment 46763
I was worried when I left you for dead.

Attachment 46764
Your shattered femur?

Attachment 46765
Focus Tower?

Attachment 46766
Sure, that sounds simple enough.

Attachment 46767
How the hell does he know about the tunnel?

Attachment 46768
Like I need an excuse to play with explosives.

Attachment 46769
Yes?

Attachment 46770
Huh?

Attachment 46771
Of course he would.

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

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

Attachment 46774
Back to fire town.

Attachment 46775
Lying down on the job I see.

Attachment 46776
Snap to mister.

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

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

Attachment 46779
And back to wind town. Again.

Attachment 46780
In his dad's pants.

Attachment 46781
Straight forward enough.

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

Attachment 46783
Sure, why not.

Attachment 46784
Huzzah.

Attachment 46785
How the hell do I know that?

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

Attachment 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!

Attachment 46788
Already got it.

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

Attachment 46790
Were you expecting a funny caption?

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

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

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

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

Attachment 46795
Treasure at the bottom of the ship.

Attachment 46796
I've been keeping it warm for you.

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

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

Attachment 46799
I hope he's not allergic to lice.

Attachment 46800
The dark whosit prophecy?

Attachment 46801
Those lice can do a number on you.

Attachment 46802
No butts.

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

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

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

Attachment 46806
That answers that.

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

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

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

Attachment 46810
Has she even met Reuben?

Attachment 46811
Damn layabout.

Attachment 46812
The pinnacle of public healthcare.

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

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

Attachment 46815
What game have you been playing kid?

Attachment 46816
Not so lost anymore.

Attachment 46817
That doesn't sound that threatening.

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

Attachment 46819
Don't worry. Cruise control comes standard.

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

Attachment 46821
Back to the ship.

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

Attachment 46823
Ha! Cruise control. :jess:

Attachment 46824
Must be the servants entrance.

Attachment 46825
That sounds menacing.

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

I love this series. :jess:

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

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.

I'm looking forward to this :D

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

Doom Castle is probably my favorite music from the game.

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!

Attachment 46834
Wrong game fellas.

Attachment 46835
Hold on, this guy looks familiar...

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

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

Attachment 46838
Only one place to go.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Attachment 46846
The next floor. Still not shocked.

Attachment 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.

Attachment 46848
Let's do this.

Attachment 46849
At least some things still make sense.

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

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

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

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

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

Attachment 46855
About damn time.

Attachment 46856
I already had 30.

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

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

Attachment 46864
... :stare:

Attachment 46865
The Dark King doesn't look so tough.

Attachment 46866
Self explanatory really.

Attachment 46867
He's never played an RPG before.

Attachment 46868
But I have.

Attachment 46869
I hope it's not gas.

Attachment 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?!

Attachment 46871
We get no further explanation.

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

Attachment 46873
Very, very, VERY, weak.

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

Attachment 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.

Attachment 46876
Huh?

Attachment 46877
OH smurf! PHOEBE! SQUISH IT! SQUISH IT NOW!

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

Attachment 46879
I write my own prophecy. Or something.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Attachment 46886
It's what I do.

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

Attachment 46888
smurf. Not even a thank you?

Attachment 46893
Or not. smurf those guys right?

Attachment 46894
No thanks to any of you.

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

Attachment 46896
Time to get the hell out of dodge.

Attachment 46897
Oh trout, I must be concussed.

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

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

Attachment 46900
It's what makes you a Captain.

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

Attachment 46902
It was your granddaughters fault.

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

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

Attachment 46905
Whatever.

Attachment 46906
He's with the band now.

Attachment 46907
No matter how much you tried to change that.

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

Attachment 46909
Yeah, smurf you and the bridge you fell off of.

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

Attachment 46911
Seriously, why is he only checking this now?

Attachment 46912
... for almost getting me killed.

Attachment 46913
Do I get to wear the hat?

Attachment 46914
Hopefully something that isn't made of rainbows.

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

Attachment 46916
Photo bombed by Jiro.

Attachment 46917
O.... k...?

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

Attachment 46920
I'm not your new boy toy pal.

Attachment 46921
It's called monogamy mother smurfer. Try it sometime.

Attachment 46922
Wanna make out before I leave?

Attachment 46923
And my dashing good looks of course.

Attachment 46924
No, just kidding.

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

Attachment 46926
Let's leave already.

Attachment 46927
Finally sailing away.

Attachment 46928
I'm not the new Spencer dude.

Attachment 46929
Oh, I guess that's cool then.

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

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

Attachment 46932
These are the people most responsible for this trout. smurf them.


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

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

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.

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.

THE END
