Thanks, thanks, and here ya go!Originally Posted by Tallulah
Hurrah, a welcome return!
Incidentally I think Selphie's line: "T'as qu'a croire!" might have translated better as "That's what you think!"
Moar soon, plz!
After reading what started off as a weapons magazine that turned into a naughty S&M fetish column, we return to Linoa's attempt to interfere with the plan by having the Priestess wear a bad pun.
Linoa: "I'm not a Seed, but..."
Linoa: "...I am courageous!"
(As opposed to "I'm not a SeeD, but I can do this!")
Linoa: "I uh, wanted to offer my congratulations."
Linoa: "And so I brought you this welcoming gift."
I should probably start taking screenshots of the dialogueless action, as it'll be easier to narrate the game's events. Edea zaps Linoa with a light beam and knocks her on her ass, then does some telekinetic crap to drop her on her ass. Again. Afterwards, she retracts like half her hair and walks through the Stargate to make a big acceptance speech.
All in one image, here goes...
Edea: "Pathetic puppets... pitiful yes men*... Look at yourselves! Today you make a celebrity of the one whom you condemned for generations! Don't you carry the tiniest morsel of shame? How can you bring yourselves to celebrate the very being whom you so demonised? Today you glorify that which you have always hated! Don't you even comprehend? I am the Queen of all the Necromancers, and I am now your new leader! A new era will finally begin!"
Deling: "Edea, is everything okay?"
Edea: "Take a look at your sheep! They know no better than to follow! We should at least give them their money's worth... Worry not, my poor, poor cattle! You needn't wait much longer, for this is only the beginning... the beginning of a new reign of terror! Your worst nightmares will very soon come true!"
Selphie: "This is not cool."
*The word she used was "girouette", which is a wind vane. I figured "yes man" was the nearest thing.
At this point, Edea animates the gargoyles, who promptly start knocking crap in seventeen shades of brown out of Linoa, only to be pwned by Squall and Irvine who are hungry for some new spells.
Break. A straightforward pun on "monolith".
Got a new G-Force too!
Ahuri does indeed mean Carbuncle, but it's Carbuncle in the less glamorous sense of the word. Instead of meaning a deep red stone, darker than a ruby, it means a zit on your skin, or a bump on a smooth surface. Kind of cruel really. I ain't had a chance to summon it yet though.
Linoa: "I was all alone..."
Squall: (Well you are amateurs.)
Squall: "I haven't forgotten your order, you know?"
Squall: "Stay by my side and I'll watch over you."
Meanwhile, down in the sewers (of which five miles are plugged with crud and sludge), we meet some more monsters.
With the ability to launch a powerful "Infarctus" attack...
...conjuring a large pink heart which explodes on the enemy. Kinda like a lame Magic Girl show.
Irvine takes a shot at Edea, but she catches it (and that's after he freaks out about shooting her), so Squall runs after her and meets none other than his high-school sweetheart Seifer!
Seifer: "Squall, you will die!"
Squall: "You really are in la-la-land, Seifer."
Edea: "A tiny seed..."
("Graine" is the French word for "seed"... Squall actually makes mention of this during the prison scene, so I'll see if I can get him to do so)
Edea: "Planted in an infertile garden."
Linoa: "I want to fight. I wanna be useful!"
Irvine: "I have to redeem myself."
Edea: "Pretentious creatures!"
(As if that wasn't obvious)
Time for Edea to lay some serious Priestess/Necromancer (we're not sure at this point) smackdown on them! One of them, anyway.
And that's it for disc 1. Now when I've got a bit more time I've gotta rip an ISO of disc 2 and continue playing. Next stop: Winhill, 20 years in the past! (Give or take.)
Bestiary: Chapter 8
Iguion
Iguanor - Sounds like a future Power Rangers villain.
"Mutated from a gargoyle. Uses petrification attacks and also knows how to cast Boomerang."
What's Boomerang? We'll find out a little later, hopefully.
Creeps
Formicide - I believe this is the proper term for "ant poison".
"Mostly made of shadow... some believe it is in fact a biological life form. Kills its enemies with its final sigh."
Edea
Edea
"This powerful sorceress reigns over Galbadia. Her powers are limitless."
And yes, I forgot to scan Seifer. D'oh! Maybe I have a save a bit further back. If I do, I'll go scan him later.
See you on disc 2!
