It should be noted that Steiner is actually his surname. So Lightyear might work better, as in, Captain Adelbert Lightyear (or however his first name is spelled).
Name him Tidus. It is our sacred duty to continue the established (in an entire 1 LP before this) tradition of naming the protagonist after the next protagonist.
I like this idea myself.
What happens when someone does a X LP? Do you name him Yuna? FFXI-Character? Vaan?
And I know I'm going to get shit for this, but I never got past the first disc on IX. I just couldn't get into it. So, I'll probably follow this because I'm too broke/lazy to go buy this again.
I'm too lazy to buy it online, but if I could find it in the brick and mortar world I'd definitely get it. I played through it once, right when it came out -- this means I was only 12 at the time, though, and I don't really remember it beyond having fond memories of it.
Do Gamestops et al even carry Playstation games anymore? I know it'd be in the backroom, just curious if it's something they even do. I can't think of anything other than a non-chain maybe having a bargain bin of stuff with one of these floating around in it. I wish I'd bought up stuff like this when they had the clearance sales for it.
Vivi is too awesome to get a joke name, and Vivi is the best non-joke name. Steiner's a joke, but he's a lovable joke at least, which makes Zenigata a cool choice. Also, it sounds fancy, and knights love being fancy.
It should be noted that Steiner is actually his surname. So Lightyear might work better, as in, Captain Adelbert Lightyear (or however his first name is spelled).
Or Zenigata, because the likeness is uncanny!
Wait, there's a point - he's a Captain... call him Obvious.

Chapter 2: It Takes A Princess To Catch A Princess
Why aren't you on the boss's ass for being late, huh?
HOLY SHIT. It's...it's a weirdly-dressed fat dragon. Seriously, are those bracers squares? Dragons are weird.
This took like 4 minutes of stealing, god.
Note our party members. Cinna is the fat pedophile-looking guy, Marcus is some sort of goblin, and Blank is...I don't know, he looks kind of normal if you ignore the fact that part of him looks like he's stitched together. And haha, look at that goofily-dressed motherfucker with the monkey tail oh wait that's me.
Don't sneak up on people pretending to be a dragon and then complain when they beat your face in.
Despite us kicking his ass handily, we're the ones all tuckered out on the ground. Man, if we can't take on a fat pig man without looking like we just ran up eight flights of stairs, we're going to be in trouble.
Once everyone is inside, they reveal their nefarious plot:
Cinna: "I'll take it from here, so listen up! Our ship's about to
dock at Alexandria... And when it does, we're gonna put on
our costumes... ...and perform 'I want to Be Your Canary,'
the most popular play in Alexandria! Break a leg, Marcus!
'Cause you're playin' the lead!"
[The man with the bandanna stands up.]
Marcus: "Leave the actin' to me! Of course, the real kidnappers'll
be Blank and Bowie!"
Blank: "I'll distract the audience from backstage with these little
buggers. I can't stand oglops... But I'll manage, so don't
worry about me. And that'll be your cue, Bowie!"
Bowie: "That's when I kidnap Princess Garnet, right?"
Baku: "You bet! You're gonna kidnap the most babe-ilicious
beauty in all of Alexandria, Princess Garnet!
Okay, that wasn't creepy at all. He's a pig.
I mean...he's a pig-guy, but also, he's a pi-you know what, nevermind.
Scene change, and we see a tiny black mage looking up at a huge airship passing overhead.
Gentlemen, we have a title! And lens flare.
A crowd of freaks stream past and knock Vivi to the ground. Dicks!
The giant words on the screen tell us we are in ALEXANDRIA.
It's AWWWWWWWWRIGHT
The little girl hands us our ticket, and we're on our way.
"I'm just that good." 8-)
You don't need to be such a jerk about it, Mr...what the fuck are you, anyway? Mr. Baboon Face. We'll go with that.
Vivi channels his Inner Vader.
"Here you go, little guy. Townsfolk have been saying they've saved up thirty years for a ticket, so I'm sure you paid a lot for it, so here's three playing cards. You need 5 to actually play a game. Go find some guy in an alley and play with him."
"I love my job."
I don't see any Jack in the alley, but I do find Master Splinter's nephew. He knows about our ticket trouble, and has a solution, but...
"What? This is because I'm black, isn't it? That's offensive."
Rat Kid apparently reads SWAT manuals when he isn't stealing ladders.
MOOGLES!
After some chatting with a pimp moogle and promising to deliver some mail...
We're yelled at by Das Fuhrer. I HAD TO SAVE MY GAME, ALRIGHT?
Vivi it is.
Wow, he came through. You were awesome in Gargoyles, by the way.
Awesome view.
Puck and Vivi sneak by. Armed with a cardboard box and the knowledge of CQC, we'll be able to avoid any guard that spots us.
OH GOD WHAT
Now I know why she's depressed: She was spawned from that thing's va-I can't even finish that sentence.
...I wonder if there's any Queen Brahne Rule Thirty FohgodIjustthrewupinmymouth
Steiner (Zenigata, although it might not fit!) looks on, worried. Nice make-up.
And here's our band of thieves.
The text of the play stuff:
Baku: "Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight's performance is a story that
takes place long, long ago. Our heroine, Princess Cornelia, is
torn from her lover, Marcus. She attempts to flee the castle,
only to be captured by her father, King Leo. When our story
begins, Marcus, having heard of this, crosses swords with the
king. And now, Your Royal Majesty, Queen Brahne, Your Highness,
Princess Garnet... ...noble ladies and lords, and our rooftop
viewers, Tantalus proudly presents 'I Want to Be Your Canary'!"
[Baku bows, and the scene changes to backstage. Cinna, Blank and
Bowie ready their entrance.]
Blank: "Bereft of father! Bereft of mother! Marcus! Thou has lost
even thy love!"
Cinna: "Fortune hath escap'd thee! For what end shalt thou live?"
Bowie: "For the sake of our friend... Let us bury our steel in the
heart of the wretched King Leo!"
Blank: "Aye!"
Cinna: "Aye!"
[The three run out onto the stage, where Marcus, Baku, and two others
are readying to square off.]
Blank: "We shall back thee, kinsman!"
Marcus: "Pray, sheathe thy swords! This villain is mine alone!"
Cinna: "Nay, kinsman! For I, too, have lost a brother to this fiend!"
King Leo: "What ho? Out, vermin! Away! Thou darest bare thy sword
before the king!? All who stand in my way will be crush'd!"
Bowie: "Treaherous Leo, my kinsman's suffering shall not be in vain!
For I shall instruct thee in his incomparable pain!"
Well at least it's better than the play in FF7.
Man, we couldn't even bother getting into costume? We're supposed to be knights.
A fake dramatic sword fight ensues between Bowie and Blank. This should be easy...
What? Man, fuck them. It isn't until later that I realize I had my controller set to Digital so my directional pad was disabled. Oops.
The gang runs off to mild applause.
...and promptly strips two dudes down and steals their stuff.
"Let's do this shit!" *brofist*
"Maybe if I play my cards right..."
Bowie makes it a point to hit on every white mage he meets. He hears they're freaky as hell in bed. It's like nuns in our world.
"Not on purpose, any way. Sometimes they chew through the restraints."
I didn't get a screenshot of it (which is weird because I took a picture of literally every line), but Bowie realizes that the girl is- wait for it - the Princess! They take off in hot pursuit.
I never noticed that portrait until now. Hey, it kind of looks like she's cuddling the Noid. Which makes sense, given how many pizzas the Queen eats in a single sitting.
"She's having a snack. An appetizer of two or three dozen oysters, six crabs, and a few servings of green turtle soup, followed by a main course of two whole ducks, six or seven lobsters, a sirloin steak, two servings of terrapin and a host of vegetables. Come back in five minutes when she's done."
Okay I guess I missed another shot of Beatrix saying that she'd inform the Queen.
"I'm tired of her and her goddamn green mushrooms!"
She stole a necklace and ran off? Man, this economy does suck, if Princesses are forced to steal jewelry.
"General, I'm thirsty. Be a dear and pop a dozen tacos in a blender for me."
"Hunger...sapping my...memory..."
Darn, Zenigata is one letter too long.
Name him Tidus. It is our sacred duty to continue the established (in an entire 1 LP before this) tradition of naming the protagonist after the next protagonist.
I like this idea myself.
What happens when someone does a X LP? Do you name him Yuna? FFXI-Character? Vaan?
And I know I'm going to get shit for this, but I never got past the first disc on IX. I just couldn't get into it. So, I'll probably follow this because I'm too broke/lazy to go buy this again.
I'm too lazy to buy it online, but if I could find it in the brick and mortar world I'd definitely get it. I played through it once, right when it came out -- this means I was only 12 at the time, though, and I don't really remember it beyond having fond memories of it.
Do Gamestops et al even carry Playstation games anymore? I know it'd be in the backroom, just curious if it's something they even do. I can't think of anything other than a non-chain maybe having a bargain bin of stuff with one of these floating around in it. I wish I'd bought up stuff like this when they had the clearance sales for it.
As far as I know. . .no. I mean, if Rhino were still around, their specialty was old games, but since Gamestop bought them out (And every other standalone game store), your best bet is eBay.
I figure once I have some extra cash flow, I'll pick up VIII, IX, and XII again. All of them go for under $20 on the Bay. I'm just glad I never got rid of VII. . .that thing is stupidly overpriced. In fact, that's really the only FF that's crazy expensive anymore. With I-VI being readily available on PSP/GB/DS, and X, X-2 and XII still going for dirt cheap in brick and mortars, everything's relatively cheap save VII. I don't know why VIII and IX are, but that's the reality of it.
also I need to start thinking about funny sword names for Garnet
uh
Scimitar?
Wakizashi?
Katana?
From the second playthrough on, I just renamed her Garnet, because it amused me that the conversation was absolutely pointless.

I always renamed Garnet back to Garnet, because Dagger is a a stupid name. Maybe some other gem stone would suffice, like Ruby?
Also, I'm partial to renaming Steiner as Rusty, you never know if Zidane is calling him Rusty like he does sometimes throughout the game, or is calling him by his actual name.
I always call Garnet "Sarah" because I'm the guy who always calls Marle "Nadia" and Magus "Janus". And to a lesser extent Frog "Glenn." The point is I don't bother with the pseudo name cliche because it only makes sense until you learn the character's real name and then you're stuck calling them "Dagger" or whatever even though the need for the change has passed.
I can only presume, looking at the super-smooth textures, this is being played on an emulator. The original CG backdrops on all the PS1 games are shockingly low-res, even in FF9, so they all look bad stretched in any way, whereas the actual textures fare better.

I think he might be playing it on a PS3. I booted up my copy of FFIX for old time's sake, and even with the picture set to standard width and with the Smoothing option on, it is still fuzzier than I remember it being on my PS2.
"And bring back a snack. I feel like a dozen eclairs in a gallon of melted butter."
Awesome runs off to find his cadre of elite guards and finds...
...these two chucklefucks.
We then gain control of Awesome, and can run around finding his guards. I found like six.
Man, look at that freak. I'm sure glad that thing isn't a character that'll be forced upon us later in the game.
"I need to...lay off the Kentucky Fried Chocobo..."
"I just need to catch my breath and then I'm so jumping over there!"
Man, I can't find a video of the cutscene on Youtube. I need to record those and upload them.
The Princess stands on a ledge...and backs off it.
SHOCK! The Princess falls to the ground, her back shattering in several places and her brains splattering the ground. A walrus man slips in the gore and falls on his ass. All around, it's very tragic.
Nah, just kidding, she swings on a rope to safety.
So does Bowie.
I don't get a screenshot of Awesome trying to do the same. He ends up swinging into a wall or a window or something. He's wearing platemail, that's like a -8 to your Use Rope check. Oh god I'm such a nerd.
That violin playing guy kind of looks like a Muppet. Maybe that mad bomber guy.
"Yew better not be movin' in on my turf, little lady, there's only room fer one tart on these here airship!" This is Ruby. She speaks with a Southern accent, ya'll.
"Yeah that's real adorable Ruby. It's a good thing you wear low-cut dresses, that's all I'm saying."
Bowie: "Whew... Well, it looks like you've finally made up your mind."
(Wow. We really had to improvise. But hey, we got her!)
Hooded Girl: "Do you... do you work on this theater ship?"
Bowie: (Aww... So she figured it out, huh?)
Hooded Girl: "As you have no doubt suspected... ...the truth is that...
I am actually... Princess Garnet Til Alexandros, heir to
the throne of Alexandria. I have a favor I wish to ask of
you... I wish to be kidnapped...right away."
Bowie: "H-Huh!? I don't... I mean..."
[Awesome makes a racket somewhere.]
Awesome: "Princess! Where are you!?"
Garnet: "Please... They've come for me!"
Bowie: "Aha... So that's what's going on... Alright! Leave them to me!"
Garnet: "Thank you. You have my gratitude."
Bowie is awesome and here's just one of many reasons why. He's pretty cool, even if he dresses like a ponce.
"Not bad for a terminally hideous pedophile, right?!"
The soldier volunteers to leap in, and gets stuck. Awesome runs out, frustrated. But oh ho! The guard turns out to be Blank, blocking the way for us. Just as planned.
"You're not nearly as hideous or immobile as your spherical-shaped mother!"
"Because until now we've been kind of a laughing stock and I'm sure the fact that you stripped two of my finest knights naked won't help our reputation any! How did you get them naked anyway? You know what, nevermind."
Easy fight. I make sure to steal everything from him before moving on. We win, but he manages to knock out Cinna. And nothing of value was lost.
Awesome does a badass move that shatters Blank's armor...and releases a bunch of Oglops. Oglops seem to be some sort of hopping beetle with the face of a panda.
Back at the play...
King Leo: "Tonight, I shall finally see my daughter Princess Cornelia
betroth'd to Prince Schneider! And then Prince Schnieder and
his kingdom will be mine! Gwahahahaha!"
[The two lackeys from before restrain Marcus.]
Zenero: "Your Majesty!"
Benero: "We have caught an intruder!"
King Leo: "Why, my poor Marcus! Hark, lad. No matter how much thou
dost treasure Cornelia... ...no matter how deeply she might
believe she doth love thee...
King Leo: "When yon bell strikes three... Under
the axe thou shall be!"
Bowie and friends enter the fray. I mean play. They come up from the ground.
"She's a drama student. This is great. I'm going to score for sure."
Awesome is waving his hands in the air, like he just don't care. He, of course, believes that Garnet just died.
"Now where is that eclair and butter smoothie I ordered? Hmmm. Oh, what luck! There's that half a summer ham I lost under my funbags. And it's still warm!"
YAY VIVI! RUN, VIVI, RUN!
Vivi creates a bit of fire to scare off the guards, but manages to set Garnet on fire.
"That's Awesome Rustalot to you!"
That name is growing on me like you wouldn't believe.
Another battle with Awesome and pals. I can't steal, because the option is replaced by SFX. BOO! Who knows what treasures I'm missing!
Baku lifts the ship off. Cutscene time!
THAT FUCKING MERMAID AGAIN WHY DO YOU HAVE WINGS I HATE YOU
The guards fire harpoon chains to reel the Prima Vista in...
...and then launch a bomb at us. That is to say, a bomb that opens up to reveal a Bomb.
Yet ANOTHER fight with Awesome, but this time with a Bomb behind him, steadily growing. It finally reaches critical and does what Bombs do: Go get a job as an actuary.
As you can see, the Bomb's knowledge of tax law causes heavy damage to the ship. The ship sputters off, crashing in the distance...
"Is the chocolate-dipped turducken finished yet?"
Whaaat? Man I did not expect her to turn out to be evil!
I was going to put up the rest (going through the Dark Evil Bad Forest of Evil), but I don't want to make these updates too long. Or do I? You guys tell me! A little feedback, if you don't mind. Enough game text? Not enough game text? I pretty much take a picture of every line of dialogue so I could fill them in with actual pictures but that seems excessive.
I'll put up the next part later tonight or early tomorrow.
I'd just make sure you break at a significant change in location. Like from here you could do from the start of evil forest 'til you hit the world map, or 'til you escape the ice cavern... But don't like do it up to the save point in the ice cavern and no further. That'd suck.
You are good at this. Good screencaps, good knowledge of when to just give us the dialogue instead of the frame-by-frame, good commentary. Pacing is good right now, this update was longer than the others but not too long. It was a really hilarious bit, so who the heck cares anyway.
Also Captain Awesome is the best name used in a Let's Play to date. Calling it!

It should be noted that Steiner is actually his surname. So Lightyear might work better, as in, Captain Adelbert Lightyear (or however his first name is spelled).

Bowie: (Aww... So she figured it out, huh?)
Hooded Girl: "As you have no doubt suspected... ...the truth is that...
I am actually... Princess Garnet Til Alexandros, heir to
the throne of Alexandria. I have a favor I wish to ask of
you... I wish to be kidnapped...right away."
Bowie: "H-Huh!? I don't... I mean..."
[Awesome makes a racket somewhere.]
Awesome: "Princess! Where are you!?"
Garnet: "Please... They've come for me!"
Bowie: "Aha... So that's what's going on... Alright! Leave them to me!"
Garnet: "Thank you. You have my gratitude."
Bowie is awesome and here's just one of many reasons why. He's pretty cool, even if he dresses like a ponce.
"Not bad for a terminally hideous pedophile, right?!"
The soldier volunteers to leap in, and gets stuck. Awesome runs out, frustrated. But oh ho! The guard turns out to be Blank, blocking the way for us. Just as planned.
"You're not nearly as hideous or immobile as your spherical-shaped mother!"
"Because until now we've been kind of a laughing stock and I'm sure the fact that you stripped two of my finest knights naked won't help our reputation any! How did you get them naked anyway? You know what, nevermind."
Easy fight. I make sure to steal everything from him before moving on. We win, but he manages to knock out Cinna. And nothing of value was lost.
Awesome does a badass move that shatters Blank's armor...and releases a bunch of Oglops. Oglops seem to be some sort of hopping beetle with the face of a panda.
Back at the play...
King Leo: "Tonight, I shall finally see my daughter Princess Cornelia
betroth'd to Prince Schneider! And then Prince Schnieder and
his kingdom will be mine! Gwahahahaha!"
[The two lackeys from before restrain Marcus.]
Zenero: "Your Majesty!"
Benero: "We have caught an intruder!"
King Leo: "Why, my poor Marcus! Hark, lad. No matter how much thou
dost treasure Cornelia... ...no matter how deeply she might
believe she doth love thee...
King Leo: "When yon bell strikes three... Under
the axe thou shall be!"
Bowie and friends enter the fray. I mean play. They come up from the ground.
"She's a drama student. This is great. I'm going to score for sure."
Awesome is waving his hands in the air, like he just don't care. He, of course, believes that Garnet just died.
"Now where is that eclair and butter smoothie I ordered? Hmmm. Oh, what luck! There's that half a summer ham I lost under my funbags. And it's still warm!"
YAY VIVI! RUN, VIVI, RUN!
Vivi creates a bit of fire to scare off the guards, but manages to set Garnet on fire.
"That's Awesome Rustalot to you!"
That name is growing on me like you wouldn't believe.
Another battle with Awesome and pals. I can't steal, because the option is replaced by SFX. BOO! Who knows what treasures I'm missing!
Baku lifts the ship off. Cutscene time!
THAT FUCKING MERMAID AGAIN WHY DO YOU HAVE WINGS I HATE YOU
The guards fire harpoon chains to reel the Prima Vista in...
...and then launch a bomb at us. That is to say, a bomb that opens up to reveal a Bomb.
Yet ANOTHER fight with Awesome, but this time with a Bomb behind him, steadily growing. It finally reaches critical and does what Bombs do: Go get a job as an actuary.
As you can see, the Bomb's knowledge of tax law causes heavy damage to the ship. The ship sputters off, crashing in the distance...
"Is the chocolate-dipped turducken finished yet?"
Whaaat? Man I did not expect her to turn out to be evil!
I was going to put up the rest (going through the Dark Evil Bad Forest of Evil), but I don't want to make these updates too long. Or do I? You guys tell me! A little feedback, if you don't mind. Enough game text? Not enough game text? I pretty much take a picture of every line of dialogue so I could fill them in with actual pictures but that seems excessive.
I'll put up the next part later tonight or early tomorrow.
