And just like that, you and Adus have completely rekindled my interest in Final Fantasy, a series I haven't touched in years.
Bless you gentlemen. Keep them coming. Oh, and happy birthday too.
I don't know if I should say You're Welcome or I'm Sorry. Then again half the reason for my thread was that if you didn't find it funny, at least maybe you'd find it nostalgic.
Has anyone ever brought a straight-up magic party to Oeilvert and lived to tell the tale? I feel like you would get wrecked by Ark unless you power-leveled.

I'm fairly certain you got it right with that last sentence. You'll be smacking Ark for minimal damage with Vivi's staff, which is I guess just desserts since the game does tell you outright magic can't be used there. The only way that'd be effective is if you power leveled to 99, and that's just no fun at all.

My first playthrough I sent Vivi, Dagger and Eiko with Zidane; I figured the anti-magic field was just a plot device that only worked on Kuja, or else why would they even let me bring casters there?
I burned through a hojillion high potions; the three casters all became low-tech white mages for Zidane, who did all the grunt work. I killed the Ark with Zidane's trance as soon as the fight started.
It was nice having Freya, Amarant, Quina and Steiner for the Desert Palace, since I didn't have to worry about running out of MP.

It's been a while since I played FFIX, but I'm sure there's an ability or certain types of staff you can equip (or maybe both) where you can hit friendly allies to heal them with? Or has my memory just outright gone in my old age?

Imagine if you didn't Trance, or worse off, you Tranced in a random battle right before the boss.
I salute you for doing that, though.

Ironic; I too used a party of Zidane, Vivi, Garnet, and Eiko for my first playthrough of the game, though I naturally did not make it to the final boss. The monsters in Memoria ripped me a new one, so I had to start over since Freya, Steiner, Amarant, and Quina were around level 20 or 30 by the end game.
The jokes just write themselves sometimes, folks. I'll let this one slide.
Also, who's shocked that a...man...who has no problem leveling cities and killing everyone in them isn't keeping his promise? Show of hands?
You know, if I had to choose a frog to save me, this frog wouldn't be my first choice. Beggars can't be choosers though, and I'm sure his moustache will see him through!
It's a good thing you guys are lovable black mages, because you sure are dumb. :I
So Cid sneaks by under a cardboard box (actually, the black mages leave and he just walks through) to the next room. In it is a cage with a Hedgehog Pie. No, this isn't a weird food item, it's those red spiky-backed enemies from the beginning of the game.
Yay, annoying minigame! The key is on his cage, so you need to press O to have Cid move forward. Very, very slowly. We're talking stop-motion animation slowly. It looks back occasionally and if it sees you, you start over. Needless to say I did awesomely.
Ignore the timer, nothing to see here. This isn't even a game or a puzzle. There are four weights made of wood, clay, something, and something it doesn't matter, you get the three heaviest weights and use them to get up on the raised scale part.
That moustache looks like a huge Cheshire grin. I can't unsee it.
He gives us the vague hint of "having to turn it all on", overheard from the black mages. This should be good.
The Desert Palace is a nice-looking dungeon, but rather difficult. Or maybe it's my team. I found it hard, at any rate. Ratchel was underleveled (although equipped with a nice spear thanks to my diligent stealing), but even with the spear, she wasn't great. I had three casters, one of whom is Shiny. Not bad usually, but she's mute, remember? Half the time when I give her orders, it'll say something about her being a useless bitch and the command won't go through. This is AWESOME when we need heals right goddamn now and she decides moping is more useful.
See? Pretty. I kind of miss pre-rendered backgrounds.
There are a lot of Offerings here, like the one in that last shot. Basically if you light all the candles, a red orb will appear, and you can get treasure from it. Good stuff, too. I'm not sure why it keeps calling me a paladin though. I would have bubble-hearthed from the jail cell if I was a paladin.
Thirty or so laborious minutes later...
No, don't listen to her! Take the child, just let us live!
This is Viva Pinata. Or Valia Pira. I like mine better. When the fight first starts I get about 20 messages about certain things being disabled, magic defense and attack and whatnot. I think what happened was each time I got one of those Offering treasure chests, it weakened a part of him (whoever said greed was bad was an idiot, see!). I, of course, got them all, because I'm all about free items. He wasn't too hard, otherwise. I had to look up what he did to remind myself, which doesn't bode well for his difficulty. He cast a bunch of -aga spells. He's also weak against Water. It's a shame one of those items that I got taught Vivi Water. It's even worse for Viva Pinata that Shiny knew Leviathan.
TELEPORTS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY. GOOD NIGHT!
"I will. And don't call me Shirley."
Whaaaaat?!
Everyone runs into the room, single file. The door closes on the last person, Pants. She fumes for a bit, and then is kidnapped by the Jesters. I wish I could hate them to death.
So...was it magic? Did he take the time to make some dolls and stitch the clothes together himself? I bet he did.
Obviously someone didn't read the Evil Overlord's Handbook.
Well, he got away. Kuja's airship is gone, too. However, we still have a fast ship!
We land at the Lost Continent. Just a short walk away is some old ruins thing, which is suspicious enough to be interesting! Let's check it out.
God doesn't like it when you beat up holy men, right? I'm just checking.
To become a bishop in Esto Gaza, one must serve the temple for five years, take a year-long vow of silence where one meditates the Faith, and then spend the rest of it being a goddamn asshole.
Bowie and Vivi loudly ask him if they've seen Kuja and the mages here, and he admits that they have. Eventually. He's a jerk.
So, let's set off. Esto Gaza has an inn, and a weapon shop, as well as a moogle. A moogle I have mail for!
Oh Christ, that's why the mail hasn't been delivered. The mailmog is addicted to heroin.
I'm glad Vivi's weapon absorbs Wind damage, because those goddamn dragons do a lot of it.
OH GOD NO MORE
WINK WINK.
Well, it didn't work since you need to wait until the summoner is sixteen to safely extract her Eidolons. There's innuendo to be found there somewhere, I am sure.
Kuja doesn't care about her well-being, though. He wants the Eidolons at any cost.
Yes, the moogle beat them up.
Yes Mog, what are you saying?
It switches to a battle, and Mog says to Pants to use Terra Homing.
Hard to get pictures of, but in true crazy Square summoning fashion, the Jesters are launched up into the sky along with a bunch of rocks as the Northern Lights snake around them and then Giga-Mog appears as a huge winged bipedal lion and shoots lasers in the form of a grid and then the grid explodes and traps them in a ball and then it explodes.
I love summons.
Yes, this comes as a surprise to everyone. Mog seems to have vanished, but her ribbon floats down into Pants' hands.
Look, are we going to fight or not?
Well, good. That'd just be icky.
I mean, what?
Vivi runs off after him. We're down a black mage but up a plucky horned child. Not an even trade but it'll do.
Not exactly the form I thought I'd kill them in, but I'll take it. This is Meltigemini. He's not too hard. He uses a lot of Poison and Bio effects. Of course, no one has the nullify-poison Ability set, but them's the breaks. Good stuff to steal, happily.
Happily, a woman's voice calls out to us, saving me from having to make an awkward joke about the black mages and their sorrows.
"I'm sure we can think of some way you can repay me for saving you. Shiny, if you have a problem with this, just speak up at any time."
DUN DUN DUNNNN.
This is really just part one. Part two'll be later tonight or tomorrow.

Bowie is relentless in his search for women. I didn't get a screenshot of it (dammit), but there's a couple in Esto Gaza that you can talk to and the choices are awesome:
Girl: "Hi. Did you come to see the Shimmering Island, too?"
Gatz: "What do you want with Lisa?"
Bowie: "Uh, I came here..."
(Choice between "To see you!" and "By chance...")
Bowie: "To see you!"
Gatz: "Hey, beat it."
Lisa: "Oh, you're just saying that. My name's Lisa, and I come here to see Gatz sometimes."
Bowie: "Hey, Lisa. How about you and me go see the Shimmering Island?"
Gatz: "I hope you get kicked by a horse."
Lisa: "Umm...okay."
Gatz: "Will you just get the heck away from us!?"
Lisa: "Don't let him get to you. I'll see you around."
When you talk to them again:
Gatz: "Will you just get the heck away from us!?"
Lisa: "(Sorry! We'll talk later!)"

You didn't try to fight through Kuja's castle with that useless bitch.
I have a couple of times in fact.
I'd actually forgotten about Shiny's temperamental casting abilities while she's mute. Good GOD that was a frustrating plot device. In fact, I think something was learned from Final Fantasy 9:
DO NOT USE PLOT DEVICES IN PRACTICAL EXECUTIONS. >.> Seriously, it's like the game thought it's magic was too powerful and had to hamper you, repeatedly, throughout the game for it.
Regardless, while I may not have been around to read a fair bit of this - I've been catching up and YAY! FF9!
I think its trying to force you to switch party members.
I also think that in the three times I've played through the game, Dagger has been in my party at that part at least two of those. :P To hell with you, plot twist!
I have that problem. I always tend to use the starting party as my party of choice against the last boss. Maybe because (A). They're the ones who started it, so (B.) They should be the ones to finish it. This is my logic in some RPG's.
Part 2, a little late! Update 22: The World Is My Oyster
Frogs are not toads, lady. It's not as egregious as calling a chimp 'a monkey', but I'll let it slide. This time.
"If they start making out, we're leaving them both here."
Backtracking time? Hell no, we're teleporting.
"We did each other's hair and nails, and we talked about boys. He was like the evil sister I never had."
Remember when I said earlier that Kuja obviously never read the Evil Overlord List? It's becoming more and more apparent that this is true.
"Right below the belt. If I had a belt. Or testicles, I suppose."
"I was out there! You know, on the field of battle! Fighting things! For you. Really, Bowie and the rest would have died if not for my martial expertise."
If this was filmed before a live studio audience, this is where people would be going "OOOOOOH" and clapping.
"Especially the part where I had wild monkey sex with a woman who was not you."
Man, five minutes back and she's already bossing people around.
Come on, man! Look at the moustache! It's a dead give away.
For fuck's sake, no, don't go! Every time we have a meeting and she isn't here, something bad happens! Just let her go!
Even greater than making Norse gods and dragons blow cities up? Is he constructing a goddamn Death Star? Should we check Endor?
OH MY GOD TERRA IS KUJA'S MOM THIS IS EVEN COOLER THAN FFVII's WORLD BEING FOUND BY BOBBY HILL IN A GAS MASK FROM FFX-2!!@$
Screenshots missing of an ATE where Steiner runs into the Tantalus gang and says he can't find Shiny anywhere in the castle, so maybe she's in town. Goddammit, we need to put her on a leash or something.
[Baku and his men gather 'round the hideout front.]
Baku: "How are the repairs comin'?"
Cinna: "They're going really slow."
Marcus: "We can't rush 'em, or everything will probably fall apart
again."
Zenero: "We're not gettin' anywhere."
Benero: "I've been up here forever. I wanna switch places with
someone."
Baku: "I guess the damage is a lot worse than we expected."
[Awesome rounds the bend.]
Baku: "Huh...?"
Awesome: "She's not here, either... Where could she be...?"
Baku: "Yo!"
Awesome: "!!!? Oh, it's only you. Why are you all gathered here?
Are you scheming another abduction or something?"
Blank: "Hey, watch your mouth."
Cinna: "We were just discussing ways to restore this district."
Zenero: "Yeah."
Marcus: "Old timer, you've got us all wrong."
Benero: "Yeah."
Baku: "We're just tryin' to rebuild our home. That's all. What are
you doin' here? From the looks on your face, it seems like
you got problems. What's troublin' you? Maybe we can help."
Awesome: "Err... Can I really trust you?"
Baku: "Yeah..."
Awesome: "...The princess is missing. She is not in the castle, so
I figured she would be in town."
Baku: "Why don't you go back to the castle before you get lost?"
Awesome: "What!?"
Baku: "We'll find her. This is like our backyard. Alright, you
heard me. Get movin'!"
[The Tantalus boys run off.]
Awesome: "You...have my gratitude."
Baku: "Hey, no prob."
Of course not. That'd be too easy.
That's basically what I said, Moe. >:(
How does someone talk in blue, anyway?
"Hell yes. I got external genitalia and everything! Life is grand."
"We'll be done by the time the next scene or two is over. We're going to have to hustle if he starts mashing X and not reading what people are saying though, so let's move, people!"
Oh Kuja. So pretty. So dumb.
FUCK. I TOLD YOU. I FUCKING TOLD YOU.
Well, we can cross off any karaoke bars on our list of places to look.
Oh shit how did you do that
Like 25 hours ago if we're going by game played time!
:whistle:Where In The World Is Shiny Alexandros?:whistle:
I sure hope so. If she stays mute for much longer I'm dumping her ass and we're going to hold auditions for a new nubile young white mage.
"Does this mean you won't be useless dead weight doing nothing but stealing experience from other members of the party?!"
"Oh, right. Your mother. The mother that died. You remember your dead mother? I remember your dead mother.
She was fat."
Yeah, you're a fucking mess. They'll never accept you. I mean, they loved their queen even when she became a power-hungry monster that destroyed other cities, but you. You.
"It's so...Shiny."
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
You don't get to see it but her snatching and twirling the dagger was actually kind of cool.
Now that's some damn fine airship music. I was actually going to put it in next update as I fly around but I forgot it technically starts playing when you're first on it and everyone is talking about Shiny's hair. I believe.
I wonder if I should bother with the Chocobo Hot and Cold stuff. Maybe, right? I've played through FFIX a few times but I've never fought Ozma before.

Ozma cheats. No seriously, he does. Ask anyone. It's been a while since I've done the fight myself, but he pulls some nasty shit like being able to counter you every time, taking 2-3 turns in a row sometimes, being able to take an action at very erratic intervals (sometimes he plays by the rules of the ATB, sometimes he wipes his arse on them).
Oh, and Meteor. Fucking Meteor.

I never bothered to fight Omza either, despite making the chocobo turn into a gold chocobo. So it would be interesting to see the fight.
I personally rank the Hilda Garde 3's theme as being the second-best airship song; the first goes to the Little Jack. I'll be damned if that Harpoon Cannon isn't one of the most amusing weapons in all of gaming.
Omza is ridiculously easy compared to many of the other options bosses. I'll admit it's been years since I actually beat him, but I remember it being quite a pushover.

I'm sure he's harder than Tantarian (who I already killed, go me!) but I wonder how he stacks up against (spoiled in case you really don't want to know):
Hades and Quale. I actually forgot Quale was a hidden boss. Apparently he has the highest hit point total of any boss in the game. Madness!

Depends if you take him out without feeding those weird gem monsters you find in random battles or not. I'm pretty sure if you do all of that beforehand it weakens him.
It doesn't weaken him, it just allows you to physically strike him, which is helpful for a lot of characters but since all of your 9999 damage attacks are long-range and not close-range it doesn't help that much in the end.

For fuck's sake, no, don't go! Every time we have a meeting and she isn't here, something bad happens! Just let her go!
Even greater than making Norse gods and dragons blow cities up? Is he constructing a goddamn Death Star? Should we check Endor?
OH MY GOD TERRA IS KUJA'S MOM THIS IS EVEN COOLER THAN FFVII's WORLD BEING FOUND BY BOBBY HILL IN A GAS MASK FROM FFX-2!!@$
Screenshots missing of an ATE where Steiner runs into the Tantalus gang and says he can't find Shiny anywhere in the castle, so maybe she's in town. Goddammit, we need to put her on a leash or something.
Baku: "How are the repairs comin'?"
Cinna: "They're going really slow."
Marcus: "We can't rush 'em, or everything will probably fall apart
again."
Zenero: "We're not gettin' anywhere."
Benero: "I've been up here forever. I wanna switch places with
someone."
Baku: "I guess the damage is a lot worse than we expected."
[Awesome rounds the bend.]
Baku: "Huh...?"
Awesome: "She's not here, either... Where could she be...?"
Baku: "Yo!"
Awesome: "!!!? Oh, it's only you. Why are you all gathered here?
Are you scheming another abduction or something?"
Blank: "Hey, watch your mouth."
Cinna: "We were just discussing ways to restore this district."
Zenero: "Yeah."
Marcus: "Old timer, you've got us all wrong."
Benero: "Yeah."
Baku: "We're just tryin' to rebuild our home. That's all. What are
you doin' here? From the looks on your face, it seems like
you got problems. What's troublin' you? Maybe we can help."
Awesome: "Err... Can I really trust you?"
Baku: "Yeah..."
Awesome: "...The princess is missing. She is not in the castle, so
I figured she would be in town."
Baku: "Why don't you go back to the castle before you get lost?"
Awesome: "What!?"
Baku: "We'll find her. This is like our backyard. Alright, you
heard me. Get movin'!"
[The Tantalus boys run off.]
Awesome: "You...have my gratitude."
Baku: "Hey, no prob."
Of course not. That'd be too easy.
That's basically what I said, Moe. >:(
How does someone talk in blue, anyway?
"Hell yes. I got external genitalia and everything! Life is grand."
"We'll be done by the time the next scene or two is over. We're going to have to hustle if he starts mashing X and not reading what people are saying though, so let's move, people!"
Oh Kuja. So pretty. So dumb.
FUCK. I TOLD YOU. I FUCKING TOLD YOU.
Well, we can cross off any karaoke bars on our list of places to look.
Oh shit how did you do that
Like 25 hours ago if we're going by game played time!
:whistle:Where In The World Is Shiny Alexandros?:whistle:
I sure hope so. If she stays mute for much longer I'm dumping her ass and we're going to hold auditions for a new nubile young white mage.
"Does this mean you won't be useless dead weight doing nothing but stealing experience from other members of the party?!"
"Oh, right. Your mother. The mother that died. You remember your dead mother? I remember your dead mother.
She was fat."
Yeah, you're a fucking mess. They'll never accept you. I mean, they loved their queen even when she became a power-hungry monster that destroyed other cities, but you. You.
"It's so...Shiny."
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.
You don't get to see it but her snatching and twirling the dagger was actually kind of cool.

Looks like somebody got an Important Haircut!
We can now have her in the party and she'll actually do stuff! Yaaay!!
Well, shit! What now?
Handmade Jewelry by me on EtsyGames for sale
Me on Twitch!
I am disappointed that this was not a Librarian reference, here. You need to read more Terry Pratchett.
In other news: Shiny must have fucking IMMACULATE hair for it to just float off into the wind like that.
I own every book he's written actually. :I
Owning is not reading.
I'm going to send my sapient pearwood chest after you.
My immediate reaction to that line was to think "Did someone get the number of that donkey cart?" in Eric Idle's voice.
I maintain what I said before, bowie is a dick.
Also, this update is missing the Hilda Garde flying music.

I wonder if I should bother with the Chocobo Hot and Cold stuff. Maybe, right? I've played through FFIX a few times but I've never fought Ozma before.
Oh, and Meteor. Fucking Meteor.
I personally rank the Hilda Garde 3's theme as being the second-best airship song; the first goes to the Little Jack. I'll be damned if that Harpoon Cannon isn't one of the most amusing weapons in all of gaming.
I'm sure he's harder than Tantarian (who I already killed, go me!) but I wonder how he stacks up against (spoiled in case you really don't want to know):
Hey YOU. Let's Play guy
Keep this up. This is awesome and I just lost most of my day reading it. You're goddamn funny.
Also with Beatrix you coulda added in a :winky: to her "there are a couple of favours I'd like to ask you...."
Especially with the line of "She must take good care of herself first and even the "I'd like you to give something to her" line.
INNUENDO.
Depends if you take him out without feeding those weird gem monsters you find in random battles or not. I'm pretty sure if you do all of that beforehand it weakens him.
Got an ETA on the next update minion?
