    Aerith is the dumbest thing. Aeris sounds so much better.

    I can understand why they changed Tina/Terra, though.

    Because Tina is a stripper's name?

    ...can there be some sort of weird interdeminsional crossover between this LP and the FFVII LP.

    Because there should be.

    Tina seems to be winning right now, but you still have time.

    I've got some more stuff to do, but I have all the pictures uploaded so it should be done sometime tonight.

    I'm going to go with 75% serious here, kinda like my MoO LP from way back in the day. I was considering doing it all goofy, but FFVI really doesn't lend itself as well as VII or VIII do. I'm sure with as many characters as there are one or two of them will end up goofy.

    Also I'll try to show as many of the little character scenes as possible, especially the ones in the WoB. I bet a bunch of you have never seen some of them. I'll also go over interesting random encounters, stolen items, and all.

    Further into the game I'll let you guys decide what party I use, with one or two vetoable exceptions I can think of. Also in the second half you can choose how I go about the open ended part of the game.

    As far as banned names go, I don't think FFVI or Chrono Trigger have them.

    Chrono Cross does though. You can't name Serge a couple of things, Crono included.

    Seriously, name everyone after philosophers. Terra can be Rand (2nd vote for that).

    75% serious? I suppose just regular names would be better then.

    Except maybe Gau/Umaro/Gogo could be different for shits. Especially Gogo.

    UWAUUU!

    Sweet - I'm playing through this game again right now.

    If you're going 75% serious, I suggest you keep the default names. You can joke around in other fashions.

    Looking forward to this LP.

    Hell, I didn't start the game until around this time last year. Some of us didn't get into RPGs when we were growing up.

    I played a few RPGs, but FFVII was sort of my first real one. Though I had played like, Shining Force II before that, I suppose. After FFVII, I really couldn't get into the SNES RPGs. I also haven't played more than a few hours of Chrono Trigger.

    Default names, and dear god at least don't name Terra Tina. Tina is far to normal a name, lacking the earth/mother connotations that Terra has.

    I'd stick to the default names (I could never stand changing them). FFVI is my favourite of the series, must of finished it a million times. It's the game I keep buying :)

    Or you could be a douche like my cousin and name all of them "fucker" but that really ruins the game.

    Man what happened, I was looking forward to this one...hopefully you just got sidetracked?

    I'm near the endgame now and I think I'm seriously overleveled. And then you get that item that lets you attack four times, a spell that doubles your attack, and a relic that drops MP consumption to 1. Is it just me or is that game-breaking?

    FFVI is probably the easiest FF there is.

    All you really need is two people who can cast Ultima.

    Everything else is just overkill.

    Had shit to do last night, got called in to work early and stayed late.

    Luckily that job ends tomorrow, so this thread will have most of my attention starting tomorrow afternoon and for the next month or two. I'm going to aim for three updates a week.

    It seems people want default name for Terra, and I guess most of the cast. I suppose we could compromise and give goofier names to the less serious party members like Gau, Mog, Gogo, Umaro, if you wanted.

    So sayeth the thread.

    Although if you're playing Advance I'm not sure you can even do that, so whatever.

    So...what is supposed to happen? I don't think I've heard of this...

    Note first that I only heard this from the speed runner on Speed Demos, so I can't exactly guarantee it, but apparently if you glitch past the guard out of South Figaro without getting Celes with Locke, and then are able to beat the Tunnel Armor, later on Celes will be replaced by a Moogle, or something.

    I was able to glitch out of South Figaro the last time I played, but I couldn't beat Tunnel Armor to confirm anything. I'm sure there's something out there with more on this, but I dunno where exactly.

    Ah. I think I've heard of that.
    I believe most of your party member slots are filled with the moogles from the "Save Terra" battle, and they get rewritten as you get characters. No Celes and viola, instant moogle.

    EDIT:
    I suppose I'll spoiler just in case...

    Gonna get to the split and then upload everything, then write out the early ones.

    The Lete River Split, mind you, I don't want to do too much extra work.

    Well, I guess the first time you guys would get to pick an actual party would be a bit after that, so maybe I'll play all three and let you decide which one I talk about first!
