Ohhh, the one FF I never finished due to unfortunate circumstances. Given I enjoy your LPs, I'm definitely gonna be following this.

I forgot how drat charming it is, just from the opening alone.

It really feels like when they were making this game they were doing it as if they were making the last FF ever, so they made it as referential as possible.

That's XIV's job now...if people have the patience to find said references.

I couldn't help but hate Steiner. His antics in the early game weren't even close to endearing and they soured me on the guy. I threw him out of what would be my endgame party out of pure spite. FFIX was actually pretty up and down with me on characters. I can think of a few party members that I wanted nothing to do with. Maybe this LP will show me what I didn't grasp in my own playthrough though, that's certainly possible.

I agree with this, but we have to wait to see Steiner's character a bit more before I delve into reasons why.



The very first time I played that part (read as: back when I was an ignorant kid), I thought Queen Brahne was a monster (aesthetically), I thought Zorn and Thorn came off as more creepy than funny, and I wondered why all of Alexandria's soldiers are scantily-clad chicks with giant helmets and yet Steiner's the only male knight. Also, that was a nice detail on Blank; I'd never seen his artwork before this thread, so I didn't realize he was all stitched up like a doll.

There isn't any Black Waltz #3. Black Waltz #4 is so powerful, he just skips right over #3.
