How many posts does it take to get to a new page on here anyway? Oh, hey, an update!  I find Han more useful than our LPer, maybe because it's relatively easy for me to get 7-Flush and Airship Bombing in the slot game most of the time. Why not have a Tiger Esper in the flashback that tells Maduin "Man is FORBIDDEN!!!"? Then he could be the one sacrificed to make Olivia, explaining a lot of her stubbornness and rage issues. Perhaps I've been watching too much Jungle Book. I always thought Gestahl was a dog too. GHK: Awww....

I like the story but I wish the esper world was depicted as a bit more fantastical, rather than just another place like any other in the human world. Maybe that's the point though, that man and esper are not so different really?

My younger brother watched me play this game and during this section he asked me what was going on so I thought I'd be the cool older sister and tell him what sex is. He said ew and ran off and tattled on me. My mom was so furious that I dared to educate my brother on sex and the existence of sex that she took my games away for a month. I just read young adult novels the whole time which had way more explicit sex than this video game. During this month, Mercedes Lackey taught me that homosexuality existed. Okay that's my FF6 story, bye.

Really, you gotta wonder how any Espers stayed in there for so long without going stir-crazy and stepping outside, considering how tiny their world apparently is.

Man, when I was a kid, I read a lot of the sprites way wrong. Like I thought the rats had big red eyes. Ifrit looked like some weird alien. And the "lady fell down" sprite as a girl with suddenly red hair and a weird blanket on her.

It can't be a glitch because it's present on both my SNES cartridge and on my Final Fantasy Anthology disc - but if you get the first diamond for 7-Flush, it doesn't matter where you stop the second and third slots; they will always show diamonds.

I was never able to make out what the hell that Girl Falling Down sprite was supposed to be. The way Gestahl punches Madon...Madeline led me to believe he'd broken her neck.

I interpreted Pokey's nose on his Earthbound sprite as his eyes for so long that I still have a hard time envisioning it as his nose.

I remember a long time ago reading a theory that Sabin was gay solely based on the fact that he's the only male character in the game (besides an upcoming one) who doesn't exhibit an interest in any of the women. Completely overlooking the fact that celibate martial artists are a real thing. Not that I'd complain. He's welcome to the team anytime

Update Thirty Two: A Slam-Dancin' Update Howdy, folks, and welcome back! Last time, on Final Fantasy VI, we discovered Terra is half-esper, and that the plot hinged on Madeline being a furry. Keeshhound pointed it out, by the way. Anywho, today, we're going to do a little bit of plot stuff, then we're going to recruit a new character, so let's roll.  But first, we have an airship to explore.  This guy plays a pretty interesting role on the ship.   He has the ability to remove equipment from people who are either not currently in the party, or from everyone at once. I'm not sure how it works, but I'm assuming he's drafted the Underpants Gnomes for help.   There's a fair bit of space up here, as well as some gambling tables, befitting the wandering gambler.   Inactive party members hang out here, too.  They each have a little bit to say before prompting you to switch characters.    Since she hasn't been around for a while, I swap Terra into the party.  And, what the hey, here's what Han says when he's inactive.  At the end of this update, I'll hold a vote for a new party. I'm sure some people would like to see some fresh faces around, and that might help with my problem of stomping everything in my path into the dirt.  Just south of us is a door leading outside of the airship, but since we're currently flying, it's a terrible idea to open it.  This guy functions as an item shop.  It's handy if you need to stock up real quick-like, but don't want to find the nearest city.   While this fella is a free healing spot.  I'm not sure what's in the refreshments, but I can only assume they make you trip balls.   Let's get back to Narshe; a lot of new things have happened, and I'm sure Banon wants to see us. Plus, maybe they've quit pussy-footing around about helping out the Returners.   I can hear you humming Highway to the Dangerzone.  It's okay. You don't have to stop.   Okay, now you have to. We're landing.    ...Are you back to being dicks? I'll gently caress you guys up again, if need be.  Oh, good. I'm used to hostility from this place.   Man, ya'll ain't never gonna believe what poo poo went down over there.  Alright, we'll start hooking them up with magic rocks and we'll show the Empire a thing or two!   While Banon looks sad here, like he's being told his puppy was disemboweled in Vector, he just nods rapidly while they silently explain what all went down.  Wait, how? Figaro is still over by Kohlingen, so unless the castle has been popping back and forth, you guys haven't been talking about poo poo.  There's also that issue. I'm pretty sure the southern continent and Figaro are about the only places to tap for troops.  ...Banon, are you high?  Yeah, since espers love humans so much.  Why, exactly, would they want to help us? Sure, they might want revenge against the Empire, but there's also an equal chance they want approximately jack and poo poo to do with us.  Okay, it's just assumed that they'll be totes down to come and help out.  And if they decide to kill the poo poo out of us instead? I mean, I really think we should have a better plan than, "Well, this oughta work!"  I tried that once; it's why my daughter is missing two toes and will forever look at me with contempt.  Alright, here's the plan; we'll open the gate, but have a fancy cheese and wine event directly outside. And I mean with the good cheese, the kind where you're willing to slap someone because they didn't tell you how good the cheese was.  Once again, Banon, you're putting a ton of pressure on Terra. She just found out she's half-furry, now you want her to exploit that?  'course, this is a fair point.  And that's that! We'll...Uh, go to the sealed gate and have Terra knock.  Keep in mind, he wants to put an end to this war by making sure every last Imperial pigdog is a bleeding mess, spread across a couple of city blocks.  Until Banon showed up, you guys were doing okay with remaining neutral.  Hrm. We should send an advance scout.  ...Man, how do you work this Photochop thing?  Anyways, we'll do that later.  The shops have updated here in Narshe, so I'm going to hit the weapon and armor shops.  Nathan gets a couple of new weapons, but that's about it. I wonder who the Poison Rod is for.  A couple more long-range weapons, allowing Nathan to keep his niche.   And into the armor shop we go!  The magic boost on these is lower than that of the Magus Hat, but it offers slightly better defenses. I keep the rear end kicking power.  But I buy a couple of these, for Nathan and Leave.  I like the numbers going up.  If physical attacks were more useful, then Leave and Jack would rarely have to do more than smack the poo poo out of whatever is in the way.  I also bought some Gold Shields, and gave those to Terra and Remain.  Anyways, we want to go into this house.  Not only because there's a bunch of treasure in it.   Lone Wolf, the pickpocket!  Get back here! How did you even get out of Final Fantasy V?  Give it back, you furry bum!  He runs out, but we loot the rest of the chests, which nets us a Hyper Wrist, a Thief's Bracer, a Thief's Knife, a Reflect Ring, another Earring, and 5,000 gil.   We're on the hunt!  Meanwhile, a pair of twins engage in a staring contest the likes of which has never been seen before!  You'd have gotten away if you didn't keep stopping!   He's gone into the mines!  I keep ending sentences with an exclamation point!   We couldn't get through here before, since Magitek Armor is bulky and poo poo.  It's pretty much the same as before, but going different directions.  Hell, the enemies aren't even any different. Or if they are, I didn't meet the new ones.   We're actually heading up to where we fought Kefka and the troops he brought along.     Why Lone Wolf would come all the way up here, I don't know, but whatever.   Oy, furry!  Well, this is unexpected.  Now, we can turn and run here, but the correct answer is to just hang out for a little bit.  For then the Moogle will make his move!   I'm not sure what happened here, but they explode away from each other.  Hmm. The Gold Hairpin will halve MP usage, but the Moogle is one of those that helped rescue Terra. Plus, we can get another Hairpin later.  Also, esper just hangin' out. I'm surprised they don't want to try and do something with this guy in regards to fighting the Empire.  Anyways, we're not massive dicks, so we rescue the Moogle.    I thought you guys were all Hodor about speech!   ...Hmm, the SNES description was far better. SNES Translation posted:Human-loving, fast-talking, street-smart, SLAM-dancing Moogle . . .  Anywho, he and his Moogle pals helped Terra at the beginning of the game, and now he's going to join up with us again. However, as per usual, he needs a new name! BOLD a vote for what we're going to name him!  In the SNES version, he was a little looser with his speech; for instance, he referred to Ramuh as an "old psycho".  Mog is the poo poo.  Little bastard knows it, too.  ...Huh? Hell, I forgot about you, Lone Wolf.   Yup, Lone Wolf just took a nosedive off a cliff. Bid farewell to the only werewolf in Final Fantasy VI.   No, I didn't omit any dialog. They just watch him fall, then Mog goes to wait in the airship.  Which is where we're heading back to, as well.  Now, before we leave this update, do me a favor, and BOLD some votes for a new party. We can keep our current members, if you'd like, or we can swap people around. I'll give you guys a few days before I tally the votes, so go hog wild, and don't forget to vote for a new name for Mog! New Espers I didn't point these guys out in the last couple of updates, so before I forget completely, let's check out our new espers.  Unicorn teaches the second level healing spell, as well as Esuna, which will heal most status effects. He also teaches some utility spells; Protect and Shell decrease damage from physical and magical attacks respectively, while Dispel will remove beneficial buffs from enemies.  Terra's dad teaches the second level elemental spells, at a fairly good clip, too.  Catoblepas teaches more black magic, but of the status effect variety; Bio can inflict Poison, while Break can petrify enemies, instantly killing them, and Death does just what it sounds like it does.  Bismarck teaches the basic spells at a hell of a rate, as well as the revival spell.  Carbuncle is all support, as he tends to be.  Last, but not least, Phantom teaches utility spells; Berserk makes a target use nothing but physicals, while Vanish makes a party member invisible, which means physical attacks can't touch them, but magic can damage them and break their invisibility. Meanwhile, Gravity reduces a target's current HP by half, so you can't kill anything with it, but if it works, it'll drop their health like a rock.
