Hurry up with the next update! The suspense is killing me.
I take it you've not played FF9 before? This is absolutely how I felt. Greatest disc end ever. I must admit, I do kind of miss disc endings on games. I think it provides a good benchmark for them to 'pace' the game by. Definitely I felt FF9 and Lost Odyssey had better pacing than FF10 which was on one disc and that I think the game benefitted because they sort of planned out how the story would dip and bow and do this and that at different points on each.
You are correct, sir. Actually, I haven't played many multi-disk games, other than the Myst sequels which used different disks for different places. The only multi-disk RPG I ever played was Tales of Symphonia, and they really gauged that disk switch out too.
Of course, it also partially ruined the experience for me, because the game looks like it's about to end way sooner than it actually does, several times in fact, and each time I knew it wasn't going to end because there was another disk waiting. So on the other hand I imagine that multi-disk games can have some problems. Though now that I think about it, most media has the same problem. You always know exactly how much longer a book is, and you can usually approximate how much longer a movie is going to take.
Long update is lonnnng. Sorry for the delay.
And length.
(that's what I said to her) Update 11: Pretty Princess Time
"What? Seriously? I was just talking about the coffee maker being broken."
"But...we're soldiers wearing pointy hats."
"I don't remember slaughtering a bunch of innocent people. D'you?"
"Naw."
"Mm. Probably wasn't us then."
That is the weirdest position to fall asleep in. Look how straight she's sitting up. She's got to be part horse.
Awesome hangs onto this like a man at sea clutches at driftwood.
Adelbert Awesome, Lawful Stupid level 7 Fighter
I can't wait until we run into someone who I can make say lines like, "No, but I will make fun of you for thinking Shiny was a good undercover name to blend in with the normal folk."
"...an obese pedophile with a hammer. Where have I seen one of those before...?"
If there's one thing Awesome excels at, it's keeping quiet on the fact that he's escorting the princess back to the castle.
Awesome Dangerfield.
I'm going to have to side with Awesome on this. I mean, can't you pick better people to call friends? I mean, look, there's a moogle right there! Moogles kick ass! Make a friend with him! Or her. It's kind of pink. Might be a her.
Hard to tell.
Oh how true.
I buy some new shiny items and then, yay, our train is here!
If you find yourself petrified for more than four hours, consult a doctor before continuing usage of Levitra.
"That jerk, always trying to make sure I didn't die! God!"
Shiny offers to help Marcus, saying she feels a little responsible for what happened to him. Then the train stops.
Man, that guy's hardcore.
Black Waltz 3 doesn't listen to Shiny's questions about why he's doing this and attacks.
BOSS FIGHT!
Luckily I bought all those neat new items and armor.
...that I didn't equip. Motherfucker.
This is actually a kind of tough battle, made no easier by my forgetting to equip things after buying them. Marcus actually hits harder than Awesome, because Awesome is still using the sword he joined us with. Waltz whacks people with his staff for decent damage, and casts spells, obviously. He also has a nasty combo where he uses a Freeze spell that stops someone, and then hits them with the staff, killing them instantly. I steal everything from him and win the day (after Marcus bites it)
Seriously.
So, back, on the train, Shiny says she's going to help Marcus whether he wants the help or not. The train soon arrives at our destination, and new (temp) party member in hand, it's just a short jaunt to...
Oh man, that movie was weird.
Awesome, unsurprisingly, objects to stealing, very loudly. He stops only when Marcus points out that Shiny ran off to go look around.
Marcus, of course, sneaks off too.
We gain control of Awesome and a bunch of Active Time Events pop up. Sweet, let's check them out.
I didn't get a shot of it, but the person who stole the money was the Four-Armed Man (also know as Alleyway Jack from Alexandria's card game tutorial, among other names).
OH FUCK YOU SHINY
Another one. If this one causes me to lose money too, someone is going to suffer.
Shiny: "Wow, I love that girl's outfit. I need to ask her where she got that cute top."
Kuja: "Oh wow, that girl's outfit down there is delightful. I must ask her where she got those shoes!"
Easily worth 1,000 gold, especially since you can't buy/synth them now.
I neglected to mention this, but around the world you can find 13 coins, named after the 13 Zodiac signs. Yeah, 13, didn't you play Final Fantasy Tactics? Ophiuchus, also known as Serpentarius, is the 13th.
For each one you find, you get a prize; as you turn in more, the gifts get better. The order doesn't matter, just that you turn in a certain number. At this point I have four, which nets me 1,000 gold, a Phoenix Pinion, 2,000 gold, and...
Hell. Yes.
We meet Shiny at the auction house. I then bid 2,000 gold on a Mini-Cid. I don't know or remember what the fuck it does, I just wanted it. This is why they don't let me on eBay.
We finally meet up with Marcus at the inn.
Harsh.
"She is so un-fabulous."
I suppose he's offering just to be nice, sort of like when a vegan comes to your house and you offer to share your steak. You know they won't take it, but it just seems right to offer.
"Sir, are we...still talking about woman or birds? I'm just trying to keep up."
I don't know about you all, but I mentally hear Kuja's voice as Pegasus' from Yugioh: The Abridged Series.
Back on the boat...
I like this part.
Awesome: ("No... I must be patient. Protect the
princess. Escort her back to the castle. Focus on your
duties... Trust the queen. She would never commit an atrocity.
There must be a good reason. No thoughts of my own? Nonsense.
How can I, a lowly knight, undrestand the queen's thinking? I
need not worry about the ramblings of a criminal. Just think
about escorting the princess home. I'll probably never see him
again... He was the culprit... He pulled the princess and me
into his intrigues.")
Shiny: ("...I wouldn't be here hunting after Supersoft to save
one of your friends. Why am I doing this...? Because Blank
saved me? Yes, he saved me. He saved my life... The least I can
do is return the favor... But I never thought about things like
this before...)
Whole lot of introspection going on in the ship. It's a shame they don't do Marcus's thoughts.
Marcus: ("Goddamn. That princess has a nice ass.")
We arrive at the store where we believe the Supersoft is, only to find...
I THINK he's supposed to be a bird, but his face always looked like a giant nose to me. It's vaguely unsettling.
"Except for the one we're committing right now, I suppose."
Tot tells us to run off as the shopkeeper comes down. We go to his tower, now unlocked.
Nice view.
Marcus gets the Supersoft from a chest.
I hope the giant gaping hole is a part of this globe and not the world.
Tot: "One is 'jewel.' The other is 'summoner tribe.' But 500
years ago, the phrases mysteriously vanished from history... The
archaeologist Frederick Ash theorized that 'jewel' refers to the
pendant passed down to the ruler of Alexandria. But the pendant...
It is much too small to be referring to the same 'jewel.' Other
research suggests a relationship betwen 'eidolons' and 'magic
stones'..."
I'm sure this won't come up later. At all.
d'awww it's little Garnet.
"I failed you as a teacher."
"No. This flashback is over."
Seriously, that has to be a nose, you can even see the nostrils. I think that mustache is actually nose hair.
Underneath that fat hideous shell is a slightly less fat but more nice woman just waiting to be freed!

I think the rematch against Black Waltz 3 is an instant win. I seem to recall that he hurts himself if Steiner and Marcus are KOed and will never deal damage to Garnet.
Speaking of badass moogles, does anyone have an image of that old magazine ad for Final Fantasy 6 (3 at the time) of the moogle killing 5 monsters?
Says something like, "Doesn't seem very fair, does it?" with a moogle surronded by monsters. The next pic said, "Life's not fair." with all the mosters dead.

Oh hell yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8gNwgarFJ0
That may be one of my favorite pieces of music from FF9. It's so catchy!
Well if that isn't convenient, I don't know what is!
"I like what you've done with the place. It's very...underground."
I can't shake this vaguely Daravonian feeling about this sentence.
What the hell? It's not like he's speaking in tongues.
Alright, pull the lever and...
d'awwwww! Lookit the gargant.
"I am, of course, being kind. The child did ask if we could see her room on a globe. This is what inbreeding does to you, I'm afraid."
I can't think of anything funny to say.
I have. I was a cyborg and rode on my faithful gargant and fought off lemurs that had handguns. It was the best dream ever.
One of the rejected slogans for the Sega Dreamcast.
Getting out to check seems reasonable.
A totally random boss fight! These kinds of boss fights are the video game versions of Big-Lipped Alligator Moments. His name is Ralvurahva which sounds like the noise you make when you taste something bad while eating at a restaurant and you don't want to make a scene so you politely raise your napkin to your mouth and say 'ralvurahva' and spit the food out. He was easy as shit. EXCEPT for the fact that stealing from him was a pain. He only had two items, but getting the second was a pain in the ass, made even more annoying by the fact that he cast slow on Marcus who didn't have the ability to raise stealing levels so arg. Fuck you, Ralahvhauvarhyara.
Oh hey he ran away. I'm sure we'll never ever see him again.
"Someone get a stepladder so I can scratch its tummy."
Really, they built a secret underground tunnel to their city in case of invaders? Couldn't they have not built the secret underground tunnel and thus kept this means of entry into their city from existing at all?
"That's adorable, the girl thinks she can be helpful!"
"Why did you not tell us about the traps, Princess!"
":("
Awesome of course assumes that Marcus did it. While they argue...
In the Alexandrian criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the blue jesters, who trap people in cages, and the red jesters, who mock the offenders. These are their stories.
DUN DUNNN
That doesn't sound ominous.
If this was an anime, the screen would be split into three equal parts and you'd get a close-up of each of their shocked expressions as they said this.
Meanwhile, back in Seattle...
Bowie asks if everyone is alright.
That's not really true. I mean, you may really want to go there, but saying you don't have a choice is sort of underselling the whole 'free will' thing.
Why does everyone keep calling Kuja a guy?! What do they know that I don't?
HOW DOES CLEYRA SOUND YUMMY
Vivi asks about Shiny, but Bowie says they he hasn't forgotten about her, and hopes they meet up soon.
A short jaunt later and...
I WILL END YOU
Om nom nom time!
I take back some of the bad things I said about No. Not all of them though.
It's a little confusing going through the tunnels, but there's a shit ton of treasure laying around. Ethers, armor, gloves for Ratchel, this place rocks.
And so Ratchel runs off along with one of the robed Cleyrians. The other one offers to show us around, but Bowie is much too cool to be given a tour. He goes where he wants, letting the wind guide him! The party splits up.
"Help! Help! We need an adult!"
Oh what the fuck Dan, you met him and Burmecia and found out he wasn't a bad guy there. You're just a dick.
"I hate you, Guardsmen Dan."
"You realize we just walked in, right? It wasn't very well protected."
Backstory!
OH SHIT
Haha, you can't appreciate this in the screenshot, but he then walks away. Slowly.
Oh hey, a familiar face. Or name, if you can't see the face.
Boss fight!
He's pretty tough. He doesn't hit TOO hard, and casts an ability that causes the Trouble status effect. What does it do? When someone with that effect gets hit, it spreads the damage to everyone else. Why's that bad? Because he also has an ability that causes everyone to go down to single digit hit points. Despite not having Shiny around, healing isn't too bad. No learned White Wind, a somewhat costly (12 MP, as opposed to 6 MP for Cure) healing spell, and Ratchel has an ability called Reis' Wind that gives everyone Regen. I draw the fight out to steal everything (Gold Helm, woo!) and then
Hell yeah. Vivi Trance. Doublecast Blizzara easily finishes him off. The two spells do like over 3000 damage.
I don't think people who corner confused townspeople and yell about food get to call other people rude.
Well, his name is Puck. Names have power like that. That's why if you don't want your child to grow up and be a butler, don't name him Jeeves.
Man, one of my favorite cutscenes of the entire game coming up soon...
OH yes. Deliciousness.

This LP made me go back and play FF9. It's not my favorite (that dubious honor goes to 6), but 9 does have my favorite music. They left the synth heavy days of 7 and 8 was just so depressing there weren't many great songs.
If this was me playing and not reading screenshots with great commentary to back them up, I would have stopped already. Hell I think this was when I stopped. I think this game gets a lot of extra praise for its soundtrack, its non-sci fi setting and non-emo main character. Problem is the setting isn't more interesting just because it's in typical fantasy fashion, and Zidane is pretty forgettable.

I have to disagree with you on that one. Zidane has more balls then Cloud or Squall.
Let's see cloud or squall do that, much less get away with it. Though he doesn't get quite the character development the those two do, so I can see where you're coming from. I still prefer IX over VII or VIII though. It just has a certain charm to it. That and I Vivi.
I remember running out of steam in disc 3 when things start getting a little more unbelievable given the lo-tech fantasy setting. All I wanted to do was Chocobo Hot and Cold (which the LP has been carefully avoiding thus far) and Chocographs.
It was kind of like what happens to you in 12 when you start doing too many hunts. You forget your motivation for going to the next plot location, and then drop the game altogether.
Oooh can't wait for the next update. Things might get a little cripsy if you ask me. After reading Huck Finn I always feel like whacking Puck in the head for some terrible reason.
Since FFIX fan-stuff has come up, I thought it'd be appropriate to post this video which has someone singing FFIX's theme (which is new to me since I never knew the game had a vocal) with various fan-art shown during the song. If it's been posted before, I apologize.
At any rate, I'm dropping it in a spoiler box just in case anyone who's actually new to the game won't be spoiled by any of the pictures depicting characters not yet seen.
