Update 25 Update 25 Video Our infiltration into Isla's secret jungle village continues, only now we're actually defending a barrier from monster hoards. They've learned to use heavy artillery, so we've got to continually knock out the operators of the machinery while going back to the gate every time things get hairy. Monster medals can only do so much in this situation so it's actually quite a challenge. When it's all said and done medals of a different type come into play, as we can now afford something worthwhile from the mini-medal shop. Scalding Coffee posted:
Seriously, they don't have hair/beards. The hair/beards have them. And a 24 episode tournament arc? That's... well, that's Dragon Ball Z actually but it's still insane.

Neither of those images are from Super fyi And who cares how long the tournament is (it's more of a Royal Rumble) if it's awesome (which it is)

It is more like 50 episodes for that arc. Half of them are for gathering the people that were displayed on the opening credits, so no spoiler there. The tournament itself is almost halfway done. The level bar you had seems to have glitched and gave you half the XP for killing a Liquid Metal, that later gave you the rest after you killed some monsters. I did notice that your minions emote a cheer when they kill something, but generally the giants made the kills.

Update 26 Update 26 Video We've finally reached the village, and it kind of looks like Tristram from Diablo III. There's a couple residents who remember Isla, and they're in desperate need of our help before the monsters kill them all. Isla finally does some explaining, and then we've got two bosses to fight while they try to destroy the tree we're here for. Scalding Coffee posted:The level bar you had seems to have glitched and gave you half the XP for killing a Liquid Metal, that later gave you the rest after you killed some monsters.

And yes, the emote from the monsters is great. They're just so happy when they're wreaking havoc. Glazius posted:The "big brother" nature of Yangus is irrepressible.

So, if the Mediators are supposed to be maintaining "the balance", wouldn't their being the caretakers of Yggdrasil be a bit of a contradiction as that keeps the darkness suppressed? And for that matter just what have they been doing with themselves if any possibility of balance was completely wrecked with the start of the war between the Goddess and the Dark Dragon all those years ago? I mean, usually they aren't this blatant about "balance" being a meaningless concept in these situations. ddegenha posted:We might not be his guv, but to him that doesn't matter.

Update 27 Update 27 Video The only thing left between us and the dew is Isla's grandmother, so it looks like we're going to have to beat up a senior citizen... or maybe not. We've got a bunch of new equipment and are thus flat broke, but we're going to need it all because now we have to climb back to the top of Yggdrasil to set things right. The monsters have actually gotten worse there, but that's something we know how to deal with. Edvarius posted:So, if the Mediators are supposed to be maintaining "the balance", wouldn't their being the caretakers of Yggdrasil be a bit of a contradiction as that keeps the darkness suppressed? And for that matter just what have they been doing with themselves if any possibility of balance was completely wrecked with the start of the war between the Goddess and the Dark Dragon all those years ago? Evidently they've just been hanging out in this village not going anywhere and mumbling about balance this and balance that. You'd think that the previous situation represented balance more than anything, since there was an equilibrium between the tree and the dragon that allowed everyone to thrive rather than a constant war for dominance. It'd be great if Evil Zorro just gave in and said "Look, I'm an rear end in a top hat okay? I just want to see everyone else suffer." Glazius posted:Good thing the killing machines haven't fixed their weakness to Zap or we'd have been proper fileted. The weakness to Zap is handy, but it's also got its downside. If you notice they pop back up after being zap and do a nasty jump and spin attack, and that gets REALLY painful when you have three or four of them who all got Zapped at once.

Yeah, the Mediators were needed once, but if current events are to be believed, Darkness pretty well wrote 11 on their amp so it goes one higher and then broke the knob off. I have a feeling anything more than monsters existing is a bit too much to risk for Darkness right now.

Update 28 Update 28 Video We're all the way up at the top of the tree right now, and the boss fight here is a huge pain in the rear end. The Barbatos can throw us around like toys and does a ton of damage, as well as summon mawkeepers on a whim to make things more confusing. After it's done we've got a monologue from Evil Zorro, and then we've got a creepy volcano for future exploration as well as a bunch of new quests to keep us busy and prepare. Scalding Coffee posted:You should use your minions more, even if they are going to be left behind in a minute. I really should, it's just that mental thing of "but what if I need that minion later!" Glazius posted:Yeah, the Mediators were needed once, but if current events are to be believed, Darkness pretty well wrote 11 on their amp so it goes one higher and then broke the knob off. I have a feeling anything more than monsters existing is a bit too much to risk for Darkness right now. That's a fair description. He literally wasn't happy until monsters were devouring people, but at the same time it isn't likely to work out any better for the monsters. We've killed literally thousands of them, so the actual result has been monster genocide while humanoid races are actually doing fairly well for themselves. Scalding Coffee posted:Who would have thought that recycling evil into breathable air would end up corrupting the tree. I heard story of evil being used as a power source for the internet and it caused an advanced civilization to sink. I'm reminded of a review (pretty sure it was on SA somewhere) that included the line "I used a demonic book to try and pick up girls, and it worked out great!"

You know, it's weird that history only seems to go back to DQIV. Maybe the music dips back farther? I suppose as the start of the second trilogy it's not a bad place to start, and characters didn't really have much to go by in the previous three games. Still and all, where's an Erdrick when you need him?

Update 29 Update 29 Video In the grandest of Dragon Quest traditions we're going to completely ignore what looks like the final dungeon and instead bugger off and do some side-questing. On the docket for today: getting Isla a new outfit, expanding the size of our inventory bag, and heading right back to the World Tree to keep some monsters from wrecking it. Truly, a hero's work is never done and that only gets worse when you've got like a dozen. Glazius posted:You know, it's weird that history only seems to go back to DQIV. Maybe the music dips back farther? I suppose as the start of the second trilogy it's not a bad place to start, and characters didn't really have much to go by in the previous three games. That is a point, since at least in DQII you had different characters even if they weren't exactly developed and in DQIII you did have the whole legend of Erdrick and the fact that you were chasing after your father. Your character actually did have at least SOME things that could be worked off of. DQ, on the other hand, had a pretty blank slate. Scalding Coffee posted:The remixed music has to come from somewhere. It's a testament to the series design that so many people can actually recognize it immediately.

So, it seems that twitch is experiencing some issues and we're currently unable to stream. No clue if it'll come back up tonight, so I guess I'll chase some metal slimes down. We'll check back in a bit and see if it's back up. Worst case, we might do a stream tomorrow. Edit: Twitch is finally back up, but we're already more than an hour and a half past our goal for starting so we're going to do a stream tomorrow if Twitch permits. ddegenha fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Aug 31, 2017 |

Update 30 Update 30 Video After one more delicious little sidequest it's time to go into the Fault after our favorite unmasked luchadore, and it's... well, it's pretty much a bunch of volcanic steps with a few new monsters that prompt Healix to make slime-based puns. In some ways you could say that it's the quintessential Dragon Quest Heroes level, but we've still got a few more to go. Scalding Coffee posted:A shame when NPCs have more personality than your party. The king in DQ did get royally pissed off at you dying and getting cursed. Yeah, you had to REALLY mess up to get that screen. Cursed necklace, I think, or the belt.

There is nothing wrong with charging your tension if it helps hasten battles. It is a very helpful mechanic. You have four people who can shoot if off at once.

Pretty sure additional slimes spawn after activating i-frames, when they are going to form near you. Happened with the first type of big slime.

So, we've hit a minor technical glitch in the LP... for a given value of glitch. The actual problem here is that evidently most of the last couple hours of the game is locked away as "blocked content" for streaming. I've tried both of the other built-in streaming services for the PS4, and the blockage is on all of them. At this point if we want to continue we're going to have to do so with a capture device that isn't picky about blocked content, and it'll take a few days to research an appropriate device and acquire it. We might also have to post somewhere else. In the meantime, I'm going to edit and post the last hour of attempted streaming we did, although because part of it was blocked content I'm going to have to get... creative.

I'm guessing that they figure allowing people to stream games can boost sales for stuff that's multi-player, but locking away end-of-plot stuff of games with plot will hopefully entice people to buy the game to see how it ends. And speaking of LPs enticing people to buy things, I just got a PS4 late last week, and due to this LP I decided to make Heroes 2 the first game I got for it. And as I suspected, I'm not really the best at this type of thing, but hopefully sufficient grinding will make up for that. I hope your happy with yourself, ddegenha.

So, a quick update on how things are going: We've got a capture card now and captured about an hour's worth of footage last night. That gives us enough to actually start putting updates together again, but our capture card is giving us some issues... maybe I'll check in the tech support fort on that. It's basically randomly cutting off at certain points. But we're at least partially back in business, and we'll continue to figure things out. The first update that'll be from the capture card is #33, so I'll be interested in if people notice a perceptible difference. Based on the feedback we get, we might just cut out streaming and go with the capture card once we've figured it out. Otherwise the plan is to use the capture card to get through the part of the game where streaming is blocked and then switch back.

Update 31 Update 31 Video After our unexpected hiatus we're back, continuing to assault the fault. We've got a couple of fairly basic levels to go through, although there's some interesting height differences. This is actually an occasional problem when dealing with flying enemies on these maps, but nothing we can't handle. At the end we've got Evil Zorro to deal with, and he's got a monologue for us... with the crucial difference that this time we actually get to kick his face in.

 "How do you plan to defeat me?" "I have devised a brilliant strategy! I shall employ the pointed end of this 'sword' to reduce the energy barrier to entering your body, so I can randomize a small selected area, thereby acquiring your status!"Seriously, though, we're going to go haring off after this Circle of Light thing, like as not. Unless the real Circle of Light was within us all along, buried under the terrible puns. Y'know, as you do. Glazius fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Sep 16, 2017 |

Update 32 Update 32 Video Evil Antonio's monologue avails him naught, so we just go ahead and kick his face in. The whole dungeon is falling apart at this point so we have to escape, but there's ANOTHER boss fight between us and the exit. Evil Hydra's a gimmick boss, but we know the gimmick and can handle it from there. There's a cut scene afterwards that we can't view, but just in case I've produced some artwork for everyone:  Scalding Coffee posted:The last stage looks c/p from Final Fantasy IV. Only thing missing is damage floors and evil doors. Only without the doors to be experience pinatas and give someone a level every time we finish one. Glazius posted:
