This right here (including smiley) is FFV in a nutshell. EFF YES JOBSOriginally Posted by shion
Little update today~
Let's see what happened to the Queenie after the castle incident
Well alright...
Then we go have a chat with Cid
So off he goes. Where does one go when depressed? The pub of course! Let's go look for him there
This from the woman who previously said it was his fault
But he's done talking so we head south...ish and find the library of the ancients!!!
Who is Mid you ask?
Luckily that man was there to tell us!
Ummm... o...okay
"But then he got a new job as a bouncer"
But don't worry! After fighting some possessed books and going through some book shelf mazes
Kay
So Ifrit and I duke it out (using Blizzara) and after a little while
He doesn't have a posse like Shiva
So back to look for Mid but-
!!!!
I have no idea what happens if you don't have Ifrit
So we finally find Mid
But things are never that easy
So this boss is weak against Fire and after some Ninjaing (I forgot how awesome Ninjas are) and some Fira, he goes down without much of a fight
BY THE WAY
I have been level grinding like a mad person. No cheats this time. Mostly because its hard to find a cheat for this game that isn't "gain 10 bajillion exp/fight" and instead just a level multiplier. So after hours of getting up to level 25.... DO NOT GET UP TO LEVEL 25
Syupid level 5 death
Luckily I have the quick save states that I can just reset, but still.
So anywho
*sigh*
So Mid
Bwahaha
!!!!
So we head on back with the "missing" Mid
There's a reason those are at the back of-
Oh
Yeah, cool
"But Grandpa Cid is busy being a drunk"
Y...yeah
So Mid denies it and runs off, presumably to prove us wrong
Tune in next time
If you get to the part where you need Ifrit to pass & don't have him, the bookcase just won't let you pass.
Yeah, the monsters in the library use lvl 5 death quite a bit. It's good to have the characters @ slightly different levels & @ least one w/ a level divisible by 5 to learn lvl 5 death.
WOoOooOoOooOoOoo Upate thyme!!
So we head back to the town to see drinky
Apparently not
But do not worry, guess who shows up to pull him out of his slump?
How did you guess?
So Mid starts ummmdancinghitting Cid
"Your dancing is painful!"
If I talked to my grandmother like that....
she'd probably hate me as much as she already does
How much do you want to bet it'll shatter
So where is the Earth Crystal?
Anyone going to fill me in on how this is going to work?
.............no?
okay then
So they head out and I follow them
*sits tight*
So we head downstairs out of the way when SUDDENLY
'Too many burritos"
And by 'almost' he means he will begin having flashbacks triggered by Cid and Mid
Elder abuse is a very real problem
*awkward cough*
So by 'almost' remember he now means he remembers everything
And we have our villain
Oh look its werewolf and Bartz's dad!
He's fine
So the next morning
Like....a.......top
wat
Oh yay
Nah, let's just make it a party ship
And that is where we will end for now!
Stay tuned
Anyone else notice Cid's got an Einstein thing going on?
I can't unsee it now o.o
Anywho UPDATE TIME
Just a little one today. It felt longer while I was playing
So we take our new fire powered ship to a little town called Crescent, which clearly has some of its own stuff going on.
That's not where I parked it at all
Apparently so
We go through transportation methods in this game like characters in IV
There's some other weird stuff like that going on. Anyway
This fellow here is nice enough to teach me a song
So I leave the town and head to a small forest because... its pretty much the only place TO GO now that my ship sunk
again
A pink chocobo
'Black" sure
So we sail off in to the air very briefly before crashing back down
Yeah, BartzDon't break the chocobos
I thought it was funny
So the chocobo spits out
SOME CRYSTAL SHARDS
For those who don't have an FFV map handy (why wouldn't you though, I mean really)
Karnak is like here
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------And crescent island is like here
Keeping in mind the ship is about the size of this letter a: a
So Ienslaveride the chocobo all the way back to the library to tell Cid and Mid the news of the ship
Don't you wish everyone took bad news this well
oh good
You should have someone go check on that
Oh, we're going?
Oh okay
Also a good point
To which Faris tells him he's too scared or something
Right
But first we head to some other totally unrelated town and find
And then we get kicked by a goat or a sheep or something
We were kind of asking for it at that point to be fair
And we learn another song yaaay
Then we go wander around a forest willy nilly and sudenly
Not everyday you get a preemptive strike on Ramuh
So after the fight, which is me basically attacking and using Fira/Blizzara
What is he, like hanging out in my hat?
Ifrit is like my summon wingman
I'm actually super excited to see the summons interact
So that's all for today, and now we have Ramuh to summon, yaaaaay
ffv5.png
Yeah I never got the pink/black chocobo thing.
Another little update with some touching scenes
We head to the little town of Jackol or whatever its called
Interesting
Mostly people tell me about the cave near there that is overrun with adventurers. So I head over and gets some chests and explore and not much really happens.
So next we head over to a town near the Wind Shrine
Its where Bartz is from
They have a lot of items and stuff to accommodate Ninjas. Take that how you like
So we stay at the Inn and Faris wakes up to see Bartz gone, so she goes to check in on him
Poor Bartz
Well then...
As we explore, we get to see how Bartz got his fear of heights
Bartz heads up on top of the roof of that big house in wait, and soon day turns to night and he's still there
Soon he finds himself slipping off the roof
Yeah........
Then we head over to Bartz's house and see a music box(?) which shows us another flashback
I think he's lying
She says she will sleep after she takes care of a few things
But before Bartz can drift off to sleep
We see Stella collapsed on the floor
Well that whole thing was tragic
Ahem so afterwards, the Bard who lives in Bartz's old house gives him a new song
And that is all for today. Tune in next time!
Requiem is going to be a very useful song. You should consider having your mages learn the song ability.
Okay so time to head over to the shifting sands!
There seems to be a problem though in that they're shifting
What is with this kid
That's a horrible plan!
!!!
So umm boss fight
Just attack him when he pops out of one of the holes. You can use magic but you'll have to heal after because he uses gravity, which halves your HP. It does go faster that way though
So afterwards
So we head through the sands and do a bit of walking and then head to the Town of Ruin
And who do we spot?
He decides to play a game of hide and seek tag and I follow him around until he is finally cornered
Aww
But not everything is roses, as King Tycoon activates his trap card
And down we fall
Aww how sweet
Nah
Galuf at this point starts frantically pounding on the wall
Galuf then jumps down some holes and rejoins us
After some apologies, we head over to some... place thing
We end up getting transported somewhere. When we arrive on the other side...
The thing gets destroyed
Meanwhile
Yeah, that
Speaking of Bartz
This is a world where they don't know what an airship is
But warp devices, I mean those you get all the time
So I head over to a bedroom I find and decide to smell the flowers for no reason whatsoever but WHAT IS THIS
Okay
I check the urn and this happens
I go check the book
I basically ignore it and go press the super obvious switch
Which has negative consequences for Cid and Mid
? indeed Chocobo. ? indeed.
Then I go umm do some other stuff with other switches and things
Yep
Yeah, what's up with that? Madness is what it is. Unlike these underground warp machines...
Your moms house
That explains some stuff
From Final Fantasy VII?
So we head to the basement to find Grandpa Cid
I just told you, its an airship
But not everything is okay just yet
Mid is kind of in the way in this scene
SO BOSS FIGHT
This fight was absurdly easy. I used a Thundara and attacked twice and that was the end of it
I've had regular fights that lasted longer
T...thank you Bartz
Ahem
yaaaaay
Alright
And now we have our airship! So exciting
Hold on tight, because we've got a big one
Now that we have our airship, we head back to Tycoon for a little visit. That night
"I am now"
I like the name Faris better, personally
Flashback time!
Whatever, Jenica
Little Faris is so cute
D'awww
Er... what
Ah
Why is she late?
Because cuteness
So Faris has come a long way from Male Pirate to princess and sister of Lenna
Yay character development!
So anyways we head back to the town where we sawroller-coasterKing Tycoon
The town turned in to a weird floating war ship looking thing
Happens all the time
Oh yeah I went back to see Cid and Mid
But they already knew what happened
Of course they did
oh no
"I haven't seen the man in many many years BUT I KNOW HE WOULDN'T DO THAT"
Bartz please
That always means an Adamantoise
So back to the meteor from the beginning of the game
Its been a while
Gee who would have thought that the big hole shaped discoloured patch on the meteor would be an entrance
Bartz then calls him names
Of course
So this boss is weak against ice and extremely resistant to physical attacks so... cast Blizzara and stuff
I went back to see Cid and Mid again
They then duplicate themselves and get to work on the ship as I rest
Bartz is a psychic
Umm thank you Cid
*ganders*
Sure, why not
Of course they are
Alright
So I have to fight some cannons that look like this:
Just use some Thunder Scrolls if you have a ninja that can be purchased (I think) in Bartz's home town
After
It is pretty sad when 4 people can take out your defense system with ease
A boss fight probably
I was right
So if you use that Lightning scroll with the Ninja that I mentioned, it'll take out the two Launchers. Then use Thundara. Not too difficult
IT IS!
So we head through the area that I was shockingly well equiped for. I had the secret passage active with Bartz which allowed me to reach chests and such, and I had Gaia on Faris, which one hit KO'd most of the enemies (one absorbed the wind attack it would do though). I also used my Bard to confuse the enemies, one of which had White Wind and used it against my party while confsed, which Galuf Learned. Really I think I did very well for not purposely preparing.
Eventually we run in to King Tycoon
Urm
Alright then
And thus begins the most annoying boss fight so far. The weaknesses changing aren't a huge deal as you can just keep rotating what magics you use and you'll be fine. But it still takes a while and then
That's King Tycoon talking btw. Square isn't like fawning over this monster or anything
After it revives it becomes massively annoying by not taking damage from my magic, having high defense, and spamming very bad magics. It does eventually go down
Yeah that's not sketchy or anything
So in we head
Gee, ya think?
So Galuf and Bartz try to go fight him but Lenna and Faris are having none of it
But don't worry, another potato is here to save the day
How she got here so fast is beyond me.
So she attacks the King and he goes flying
you too
Oh good
Lenna and Faris meanwhile are concerned for their dear father
Nope
Anyways the reunion is interrupted by
The last crystal shattering
Then we get to see some of this
and this
and this
and finally
The heck kind of name is ExDeath though honestly
We try to stop him but the crystal shards do indeed smite us
bye
alright
But first they decide to smite us some more
Eventuall he um... wrestles them in to submission or something
He dies
On the brightside, new jobs
WHOOO
But we STILL aren't out of the woods
When it rains it pours, huh
So we get back to the airship and escape certain death
Yeah...
okay
or instead you could tell us a story
Needed a hobby?
I like how the meteros are like cars for them. Just hop in and go
Yeah...
Afterwards we are brought to the meteor Krile came in on
Meteor Juice, now only $498 474.60
shame
So off they go, never to be heard from again...
until the next update
Stay tuned!
Random thoughts:
Four people are defeating the entire cites defense, but that is powered by one crystal and you are using the shattered remains of three crystals. So maybe it is a wash.
This game would have been so much fun is somehow before revealing himself ExDeath convinced people that he was a good guy. While using his same name. "ExDeath you betrayed us! How could we have guessed you were a bad guy?".
>>Am willing to change opinions based on data<<
Free Thunder Scrolls can also be had by beating the Thunder Anemones.
Alrighty so Galuf is gone and stuff
Well I'm glad that was decided
Total rip off of Tales of Xillia but w/e
>.>
Oh well I guess its time to give up
Sure. When I think meteorites I think... Cid..... alright
But first
Oh Chancellor
Aren't you supposed to be evil?
So if this is the room Lenna and Faris had growing up... why the heck did they need 4 beds?
That already makes Faris a geezer by RPG standards
So we head back to the base or whatever to find a note left by Cid
It then occurs to me that to save time I could have flown here and THEN done the tycoon Castle scene since the meteor is right there
oh well
How else would they have got here?
Of course it is
Ah
(I'm bored with this conversation, make up your own commentary)
So we have an objective
No matter what is going on, they beat us to it
So I fight these six bomb things and win by using that expensive samurai attack
And head to the next meteor
So then I get a fight with
TITAN
I fight Titan by mostly attacking. Its 1 am, I can't think of anything more clever to do in battle right now
Yay!
I'm never going to use that
So I head over to the last meteor
Lenna's face
Another boss fight. Again, attack and junk
I look at the map
Guess where I go?
The light looks the same to me but what do I know
They all agree
Gosh I should've stopped by to see a lot of people before leaving
So we head up and then down to this place
No, we landed on the wrong world
So I decide to rest in a tent for no reason and OH LOOK A SCENE
Because Drake's lives are important too
Note: I have repeatedly flown back to the wind drake and told it to fly home. It did not
Well the tender moment is interrupted
So boss fight!
I think this one is losable, but I won by using a speed drink and attacking
I'm never going to use that item either
Oh well
He really likes that laugh doesn't he?
Some soldier out there is forever labelled as "the others". They will have nothing more important in their life ever, other than being the other after Galuf
For some reason I imagine ExDeath sounding like Patrick Stewart
Those things are easy to mistake
I like how he has to name them all individually
Not the best quality on his giant mirror
Look, its Gilgamesh!
She has her own wind drake?
Spoiled
So he flies over to ExDeath's VERY showy castle
And immediately walks over to the treasure chest because he's played a few RPG's in his day
Well that was convenient
Tune in next time
