Can you get the running shoes or something else with auto-haste at any other point in the game? I forgot to fight that book thing both times you're able to.
Running Shoes are the only thing that teach Auto-Haste. In Treno disc 3, you can fight a monster in the weapon shop named Amdusias and you'll get the Shoes if you win. I don't remember if you needed to fight the Griffon in the shop in Disc 2 to fight it, though.
Hey Min, like your last couple of updates are missing a ton of pics. 13-15
Ah shit, really? Let me take a look...

Hey, I just got Amarant again, and I just realized why I never ever used him, even though I didn't like having two white mages in the party. (frankly, Eiko becomes much better and more versatile quite quickly)
Amarant's first weapon absolutely sucks. His attack is worse than Eiko's with the Fairy Flute. So either steal the poison claws from Amarant or buy them from Condie Piete, and learn Chakra as quick as you can
I use everyone equally so that everyone has every ability mastered that they can possibly have. I also take the time to grind out all the grindy ultimate skills (Thievery, Dragon Crest et. al.) so that way I can beat the final boss with every combination of party members possible.
I never use Amarant and rarely use Eiko. I didn't use much of Quina or ze Dragoon until I did my second playthrough and got everything for their skills are very helpful in grinding out things and killing Zoma.
My patience runs thin, oh player of the let's! Sure, I took a month off during my first LP, but I went straight through my second one, and I even finished it up with time I could have used studying for exams. So I don't want to hear any excuses.

"It has been almost 5 days since the last update. Our supplies dwindle as quickly as our patience. Hope for a new update dwindles fast, and we have supped the last we can from the previous ones. I fear soon we shall turn on each other and, like a pack of wild dogs, force each other to play video games and provide amusing comments until no-one is left standing."

Yeah, I did the exact same thing. I don't know why his first weapon sucked so bad but I remember it barely caused any damage at all. I definitely wasn't expecting that considering he's an 8-foot tall half-giant martial artist.
You want excitement and adventure? Go read something else. Update 18: Love Is A Children's Card Game
"Doctor Tot, clean your glasses. This is Beatrix. Garnet is behind you."
"Speaking about sour puss, I'm going to need you to take a few steps back, Ruby."
The gang mercifully leaves Bowie to his moping, mentioning that Bowie should come to the mini-theater Ruby opened and watch a play. 'Theater' and 'play' are a funny way of saying 'whore house' and 'donkey show'.
Wait, Vivi, you left the castle? Why aren't you living in the castle? Man, Garnet's a bitch.
The answer, by the way, is 'nothing interesting'.
What the rest of us do when we break up with a girl: Lonely nights alternating between crying and masturbating.
(I'm not going to make a head-on joke i'm not going to make a head-on joke i'm not going to make a head-on joke)
We gain control of Vivi at this point. Actually, we gain control of Vivi before that ATE. There are two others, but they aren't of anything interesting: One is of Pants looking at the front of the castle and then being taunted by those weird rat chef things, and the other is about Stiltzkin the moogle grilling Artemecion the moogle about if he's really delivering mail. From his shady appearance and demeanor, I think he's smuggling drugs.
Whoa, whoa, wait. Vivi is way too young to see if a woman can take the entire length of the donkey into her mouth.
(She can, by the way. Ruby can unhinge her jaw like a goddamn python.)
Cover your eyes, Vivi!
Like changing into a pretty dress!
Dr. Tot gives Garnet the three stones that contain the Eidolons that were withdrawn from her.
Then she gets dressed, with the help of Beatrix.
:winky: :winky: :winky:
Dude you just got ice-burned by a six year old named Pants.
Dr. Tot helpfully agrees to help write this letter, as well as equally helpfully providing us with some exposition.
Tot: "That girl has a horn... That horn... I had completely forgotten
about it until now... I'd never been as surprised as I was that
day. A ship drifted ashore after a storm... Inside the ship were
a woman and a baby girl... The woman was dead, but the girl was
still breathing... Imagine my surprise as I looked into the
girl's face! Because the girl... ...looked exactly like Princess
Garnet, who had just passed away. With one exception... She had a
horn! A human with a horn... Wher did she come from? The king
ordered the girl's horn removed. The girl cried out in pain...
He and his wife, Queen Brahne, decided to raise he girl as
Princess Garnet... But that girl who spoke to me... Could she be
related to Princess Garnet...?"
And now you know...the rest of the backstory. Good day!
"I've become a slug from the waist down."
"It's not like you had your mother's chin.
...s.
Chins. All of them. More chins than a Chinese phone book.
What I'm saying is your mother was monstrously obese."
Dr. Tot sheds a silent tear, for he put far more into that letter than he would care to admit, but his and Bowie's love was not meant to be.
We now gain control of Pants.
...who is then promptly knocked off the balcony by Baku. On accident.
That's his story, and he's sticking to it.
Baku drops the letter while yelling, and leaves on the boat once it arrives.
4 out of 5 doctors recommend starting your day with Shinyâ„¢
*Warning: Shinyâ„¢ may not be for everyone. Consult your doctor before starting on Shinyâ„¢. Side effects of taking Shinyâ„¢ are usually mild but may include drowsiness, headaches, upset stomachs, erectile dysfunction, genital shingles, spontaneous beholder eye, and Pangaea lung.
Bowie. Bowie, goddammit, pull yourself together! You've been a fun protagonist thus far, don't do this. Stop acting like a teenager that just lost a girl. Even if you are a teenager that just lost a girl.
That's what I've been saying! Well, at least he isn't going on about how you guys just don't understand him.
Goddammit.
Yes, that sounds fun! Let's go do that.
Yeah man, go over there and grab her ass! It'll be like old times. Do you need a sign or something?
There, that's your sign.
"I'll go find the bullhorn, you go get the giant novelty foam fingers. Let's do this!"
If ever a time called for that *waa waa waaaaaah* trumpet sound, this would be it.
They pull this shit at restaurants too, we can't take them anywhere.
I'd just sit by and watch, or hide, but this is why I'm not a palace guard.
That, and I'd look silly in their uniforms.
I had to stop at this point because I was laughing too hard to continue. You can almost hear him saying it in a wheedling tone. "Come on you guys, seriously! I'm the Flaming Moe! Tell her!"
"Kuja...Kuja...Hmm. Killed off almost the entirety of your people, thrust the world into war, child-bearing hips? The name kind of rings a bell."
"Whaaa? Why would the supposed villain that we never actually defeated come back? I mean, there's only two discs left until the game ends, that's not nearly enough time."
From the mouth of mages.
Adelbert Awesome, friend to children everywhere.
People respect the hat.
"I'm just going to sulk and glare, if that's alright with you."
"Awesome is still going to toss your ass out though."
I'm with Moe on this one. Lean back against a wall and just wait for it to be over.
Pants hides behind the stairs. Is it Bowie? Nope, it's just Blank and Marcus. Blank found the letter and thinks someone wrote it for him. Chicks dig men who look like they've been stitched together.
Blank and Marcus hear someone coming though, so they run off behind the other stairs, leaving the letter behind.
What the hell are you even doing here, anyway?
He means "annoyingly precocious". He's just being polite.
We're going to Treno now, huh.
It's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel!
So we take the gargant over to Treno.
MEANWHILE
Goddammit, we're going to see them more, aren't we.
d'awww. She's going to make some lucky boy miserable some day.
YES, WE NEED HELP, SHUT THE FUCK UP
Alright, time to run around as Bowie.
Vivi: "Um... Why didn't you..."
Pants: "Why didn't I invite Bowie?"
Vivi: "Y-Yeah."
Pants: "Those two are thick like bricks. They don't realize how
they feel about one another until they're apart."
Vivi: "...What do you mean?"
Pants: "Aaargh! You big dope! Okay, listen carefully. Bowie really
likes Shiny. But Shiny wants to act cool, so they
misunderstand each other and end up fighting. Now do you
understand?"
Vivi: "...Not really."
Pants: "Bowiewouldn't stop acting cool in front of me, either.
It's so hopeless... Hey, what's that? Is that the card
stadium?"
[She runs off.]
Vivi: "H-Hey, wait...! ...She's gone."
Passerby: "Hey! You're..."
Vivi: "Huh...?"
You better not get kidnapped again, Vivi!
Luckily, in another ATE, we find out that the man Vivi ran into was the person who took him to Alexandria in the first place. We're given a choice if Vivi should go visit his home near Treno (where his grandfather lived until he passed away), or stay here. I choose to go visit home. More stuff to see, but mostly because I know a Stellazio coin is hidden there.
Technically we're still controlling Bowie, but there are more damn ATEs than you can shake a stick at.
I don't like where this is going.
*insert "would you like some candy? It's in my van!" joke here*
Sorry for the late(ish) update. I've been feeling out of sorts for the past few days. I may or may not have Adus (he of the FF7 Let's Play and friend of mine) do a guest update for the next one, depending on how I feel.
Is it wrong that this is my favorite romance in all of Final Fantasy?
Well the competition isn't very fierce. What do we have? We have Squall and Rinoa's weak-ass spontaneous romance, Cloud and Tifa's oblivious romance, maybe Tidus and Yuna? I don't really remember that well.
Oh, and Shiny and Bowie's of course. There's that.

I'm trying to remember any particular ones in FF6. Isn't there one between Locke and Celes? That could just be in my head.
Edit: Isn't there a romance between Laguna and someone in FF8?
chrono_traveller on
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
Laguna and Julia, which is unrequited. Laguna then goes off with Raine. Raine already has a child named Ellone. They have another child together, Squall. After some shit Squall and Ellone are sent off to a orphanage together.
Julia meanwhile marries the general in Galbadia, and bears his child, who is Rinoa. The whole idea of FF8 is that there's this unrequited love story that ends up with the two parties' children falling in love. Bit weird.
I'd say overall 9 has the two best love stories though. The ending FMV is so perfect in a love story sense. Then a close tie between 6 and 10. Certainly Yuna's "I love you" in 10 was one of the greatest moments in FF storytelling ever. Perfectly pitched.

The hilarious thing is, in the Japanese version and all those which had a translation was based on it, it's "Thank you". Maybe it's just me, but I consider that the most serious mistake the English translation had.

I especially liked him in FFX, he just stood with his arms crossed and casually whacked shit to death.

And I'll be damned if his theme music isn't badass and relaxing at the same time.
Ahhh, FFIX. Best FF ever.
