I love how Baku just inexplicably has a Queen Brahne doll here. :allears:

... I love a lot of things about this game, in fact. :v:

One day I may play this and not rename Vivi to Orko.

...nah.

Why not? You have the power. :v:

Welp, you know your chainmail hobby is getting out of hand when you feel the need to comment on it for a Final Fantasy game, but....

Seriously, look at his upper arm there. Those rings are frigging massive! Especially compared to his coif, which is more normal-sized.


Also, regarding the soundtrack...

I hate you all for reminding me that every choice I make for the best song is wrong, even all the choices are right.

It would've been a fantastic touch if the SFX spells actually did damage to Steiner because he's dumb enough to believe they're attacking him with actual magic.

Instead, he mocks you for attacking him with special effects.

Plus, even if you do trigger Trance in a boss fight, usually you still won't be doing anything with it because you haven't finished stealing yet.

There's really nothing in vanilla FF6 that loops its HP if you bring it down to 0? It's definitely possible to do that if you wanted to.

Kaiser and Omega in the remakes, IIRC.

So yeah, BW#1 and Sealion are a very nasty surprise for this stage of the game. You've been coasting alone, one-shotting any enemy that even looks at you wrong. Then the game removes three of your party members and has you fight solos against a pair of bosses, one of whom will heal and revive the other, and said other boss getting more powerful attacks as it gets weaker. If you didn't take the time to understand Trance, row placement, or actually using items to heal, this becomes a roadblock pretty early.

Compare that to FFVII, where they gave you the hilariously weak Air Buster, or FFVIII, who throws you the bumbling Biggs and Wedge followed by the boring Elvoret fight.

Doubly so if your first time playing through was as a dumb kid who thought that Steal and treasure chests only got you worthless crap like potions.

Still not sure how I managed to beat it with only the Dagger.

How about instead of just a Trance Wasted counter, keep track of both wasted and useful Trances. I would love to see that ratio.

While the classic thing is to name the princess "Garnet", it gets funnier if you name her "Princess". :v:

Challenge runs of all sorts are more enjoyable when the RNG has no say in whether or not you fail.

More enjoyable to play, anyway. Watching someone else.... well, there's a reason the word "schadenfreude" exists, after all. :getin:

One of these days I'll get on inventing that device that identifies the gender of everyone on the internet. I'll be rich! Up until I'm murdered by a horde of angry GIRLs that got pissed that I killed their trolling gimmick, but so it goes.

Problem with that is that for most goons, it'll just return "porpoise".

If you step outside of Final Fantasy, there're a few characters in Chrono Cross who are literally born/hatched/created in the same cutscene where they join the party.

Also, Relm is, like, six, isn't she? Older than the Mysidia Twins, but still younger than Vivi.

cue hilarious confusing moments like the Spanish translation of FF7 calling Aeris both a "he" AND a "she" in the same scene.

Considering the English translation implies that she was chilling out in a flower patch in the slums when a church suddenly fell on top of her.... :v:

Yes, but you miss out on a very important key item later, because technically Cinna never tries to make the coffee.

And any outcome that leads to less coffee is a Bad Outcome. :colbert:

Lindblum is usually where my desire to keep replaying the game tanks, though. There's just so goddamn much to do and see, and it makes me realize how much longer the game is, and crap, I like watching the ATEs, but I think I've already spent enough time to lock myself out of Excalibur II, and....

It's okay, dude. We've all done embarrassing things in the past. No need to get all defensive about it.
