    I asked Sephex to bump this thread so I wouldn't have to double-post. That's why he just acted like he's been into the Black Crack. Wasn't expecting Psy.

    Chapter XI: It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

    Well, the forest won't let us in, might as well try the stick


    The hell? It worked?



    Do I sense foreshadowing here?

    The forest is pretty annoying; we can only see a little bit of room around us, and we have to poke squirrel-holes in order to open tunnels to keep going. The random encounter rate is also ludicrously high. There's lots of treasure, but I don't know what else we're going to fi--


    Yep, that was definitely foreshadowing

    That fire got big fast.




    Looks like we're thoroughly fu...huh?


    Maybe moogles are good for something besides eating. We'll just hang out here until the fire burns out

    Once the flames subside, we head back outside.


    Holy crap.

    There's still treasure to be had


    No. I don't.

    It's about what you'd expect



    Surely there's a point to coming all the way out here and burning down this forest, though, right?





    Inside...



    Routine boss battle ensues.


    Bet you can guess who that is


    Yep.



    Tzep zaps us with some freaky lighting stuff that shoots out of the crystals. I still do not understand this.


    Saying that makes it happen


    Called it!

    It's Cara! She seems better!



    Tzep can't stand this.



    Seeing his daughter about to get sent to Hell galvanizes Galuf.



    Galuf challenges Tzepish alone, and predictably, within a few rounds his HP is 0, and it's game ov...what?



    The battle is not without cost, however.





    A titan has fallen...We give Cara some time to come to grips with ther loss, when..




    Nope. He's dead.


    Didn't you just say that?


    WHAT.




    Worst grandfather, or worst grandfather ever?


    Funny how that works out

    We've given her enough time. Let's go outside and see Cara.






    In summary: Galuf is a dick.

    We head back to BFE to see how people have reacted to us burning their forest to the ground. Surprisingly well.



    That about wraps up all of the loose ends. Time to take on Tzepish in his lair. The barrier tower has been down for a long time now.

    Turns out we don't have to destroy the other four.

    Inside Tzepish's Castle, we hit a dead end.









    Good to catch up on old times. You will be missed, Ninja Wolf.





    Nothing else of interest happens until we reach Tzepish at the end, where he predictably barfs out another one of his long diatribes.







    BOSS FIGHT!



    He's....he's finally dead?


    Oh, crap. I mean, it is predictable, but it still sucks. Good thing we're invincible. Except Galuf, obviously, but even he got a new body by stealing his 12-year-old granddaughter's

    Later...



    Can it really be?



    Tuesday Morning, Chapter 12: My Home Sweet Home?

    First of all, the fire line. Yes. Yes.

    Secondly, smurfing Galuf what a badass. Battles on with 0HP, gets murdered anyway, nicks a new body. I like his style.

    Also Ninja Wolf's dying words were kind of cool. Well, the nicknames of the other warriors really.

    this is so enjoyable

    Dorgann "Sex Organ" Klauser is a great name.

    Also, yes, Galuf is an even bigger dick than Unne.

    Why are we not fighting Galuf instead of Tzepish? Clearly an immortal guy who if killed by a plot line, can simply come back, then maybe that is the guy I would be looking at askance.

    Did you grind your characters' levels to max out their HP and now just Attack your way through every battle?

    As per my first post, I'm cheating like a mofo so you folks don't have to wait for me to grind. I started playing normal FFV about 3 weeks before I started this and haven't got to Terra yet.

    Battles are unimportant when you have dialogue this great.

    Short holiday shift at work == longer update.

    Chapter XII: My Home Sweet Home?


    A warm reception...




    And the spoof is supposed to be over?




    The Chancellor hustles Faris up to dress him up like a woman.



    It is quickly apparent that the game does not want to let us talk to Faris or Lenna, since the dancers step on us every time we approach.


    Could this be foreshadowing?

    A book in the King's room triggers a flashback...



    Jenica is insane...



    And outside, more foreshadowing.


    Yep. Everything's definitely going to be just fine

    It sure doesn't seem like the Spoof has ended...Better ask Galuf.





    We have to do something about this! We should leave at once!



    Outside, we run into an old friend


    Holy crap!


    Yeah, smurf you too, Boco.


    The plot thickens!

    Boco offers us a lift so that we can cross a river north of Tycoon that wasn't there before. Let's head to Tule and see how the people there are holding up.


    On second thought, let's not go to Tule. It is a silly place

    Further on, Boco intentionally drops us into a hole where we have to fight an antlion with only 2 party members. Fortunately it's a pushover. Time passes, and a rope appears. Whenever we try to grab it, it jerks out of reach. Who the hell would do that to us?

    Oh wait, I know.






    He hasn't changed a bit.


    Galuf is the only one who didn't realize right away

    Further on, we find another old friend in a cave


    !


    Must...resist...perverted...comment...


    Dude, you totally died! There were explosions!




    Tzep, you're a dick.


    She'll be fine


    I have a question: How the hell did we see all of that?


    Some people never learn

    I tried to get screenshots of Dr. Carr flipping out & knocking Tzepish flat on his arse, but I couldn't get the timing right.



    Having barely survived our encounter with a new, turbocharged Tzepish, we retire to the manga library to plan our strategy.


    They accept him pretty quick, though



    Sounds good. When the hell do we get Lenna back?


    That's dedication

    Tomorrow: I Have No Idea What The Hell To Title This Chapter

    I'm glad that Archie is going to repeat the information for the rest of his mouth, it would be a shame to forget it!

    I think you could do it. It might be a little bit more highbrow at some points, but I think you could do it!

    I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw the screenshots. I think it's funny enough to warrant its existence, but I usually don't like humorous hacks like that as they usually feel out of place if you've played the original. Final Fantasy V is such a lighthearted adventure at times that it manages to flow very well.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Chapter XIII: Getting Our Stuff Back

    Let's explore the new Manga library now that it's overrun by the Surgate crowd.


    On second thought, let's not.

    Dr. Carr directs us to the pyramid located in the middle of the desert that Cid and Jacob exiled to us earlier, but on the way, we walk past 4 trees and run into...






    Well, the desert isn't moving anymore, so that's good. On the way into the temple, we're attacked by gargoyles who have to be killed at the same time or they regenerate. This is annoying, but it is not funny, so no screenshots were taken. In fact, the whole pyramid is pretty eventless, until...



    Make one Admiral Akbar comment and I'll stop updating.


    Goddammit, our airship was on that peninsula!


    Ohhhhhh crap.




    w00t!

    Well, things couldn't be going better! We head past the Mana Tree again on the way back, and...



    Yeah, what a jerk

    We were just getting ready to bury Lenna when...


    There are FOUR esses in possessed; one for each Satan inhabiting the word




    He just never learns, does he?


    Told ya.


    And then ssstop hisssssing your sssibilants

    Another boss fight down (with no black mages or anyone with black magic!) when we have a moment of silence for the passing of our dear comrade Lenna. And then a not-so-silent moment.




    So with Lenna back in our party, we go to reclaim our airship, which can now land in the water and act like a normal ship in case we want to...uh...be on a boat? There's really no reason to do this ever.

    Meanwhile, in the Mugenjou....




    Unne won't miss them.

    Program control finally returns to the player, and now we can chart our own course again, so it's off to the Sealed Castle to use the tablet we got to unseal 3 of the Elite Weapons of de Ownage. Which 3 should I take? Your choices are:

    OMGSCALIBUR
    The Liberty Bell
    PTN's Harp
    Lord Bildo's Iron Dildo
    The Staff of BFE
    Whip of the Dominatrix
    Cupid's Bow
    Chrono's Katana
    Skemp's Axe For You
    Tonepoke's Pokemon Poker
    Scho-Ju Wajasaki's Wakizashi
    Dirk Diggler

    Choose well, or I will melt your Nazi face off.


    w00000000t!
