There is a very quiet voice in the background at some points during this video that doesn't seem to correspond to any of the three commentators. Am I just imagining this, or did somebody step away from their mic, or what?

That's my wife leaning over my shoulder wanting to be a part of the rock and roll lifestyle of an lper hanger-on like myself.

Or it could be me, liquidy had to crank up the gain on my mic for this session because I didn't want to listen to my own audio.

But back to the randomizer, just going to say to those playing along with the seed, remember you can see temp party member equipment by selecting equip, hitting left and seeing the whole crews load out. The equipment options are interesting to say the least.

I'm really enjoying this. Please keep doing them.

Dem and I will ensure this.

So knowing about vanilla and its strange quirks I wanted to do a little roundup of what's been missed during the videos. This will cover the first 2 episodes. Don't know if I'll keep pace from now on or if I'll do every other week or not. But behold, just how much Beyond Chaos loves/hates you, the player.

Yeah I'm sorry for Simon for knowing what good and bad Mega Man games look like and all the people here who know what it takes to make a rom hack. Cause I too can see this guy threw a bunch of ideas into it just to say he ripped the limitations of the NES in half. So technical ability takes a back stage to sensibilities saying "we don't need 10 enemies on screen with another one hovering on the edge waiting to spawn once you kill it." "Let's make a little shotgun with 6 shots or so on screen instead of 3 slow eggs at a time, but let's make it do a fraction of a point of damage so you have to see each and every one."

In hindsight, it's probably whirlwind, but I always thought it was Wild. Which only complicates things when FFVII started using W for double.

No update this week, and probably not next week since liquidy covered almost everything in Zozo and my playthrough was just screwing around before the opera house.

To tide you over, enjoy this gif that makes no sense to anyone but us.

I wouldn't write Zepeli off as the Absolute Worst quite yet. After all, you haven't come across the character that inherited Umaro's berserk status. You could get an exploding berserker! Or a runic berserker! I have that last one on the... interesting seed I've been playing.

Fake edit: To be clear, I haven't played the LP's seed, so I'm not trying to be coy or anything. You could end up with a really good berserker for all I know!


TooMuchAbstraction posted:

Zepeli might theoretically be redeemable by getting access to really awesome equipment. I mean, imagine if he were the only one able to use the Ragnarok.

That is honestly the only possible redemption. He's able to equip basic swords, like the elemental blades we just got but not the enhancer, so I really doubt it.

Since I'm delaying another week since this was episode was short on missed content I'm going to do a quick summary of our characters (note that Hato, Shanon, Gendo and Hiiro have had some esper bonuses, so their stats may not be stock)

Party Average Stats: Strength 37, Speed 35, Stamina 32, Magic 32.

Chichi, aside from Vigor is pure average. Strength is low, but she's here to heal rear end and chew doritos, and she's sometimes out of rear end, so no big loss there.

Gendo is fast and strong. The third strongest on paper, but the strongest person we'd willingly choose to attack with. He's not bad, but he is boring.

Jean currently is low across the board, his magic is terrible, which is really sad to see from the guy who ate a gem box. 13, 13! Zepeli is double that! I'm going to fix that as soon as I can.

Viral is slow and weak, but his magic stat is above average, so once we get some magic in him we may see value.

Hato needs no introduction, he's great if you can look past his unpredictability. Only Viral is slower than him. Magic is a little low, but still in the curve.

Hiiro's stats are above average across the board. Fastest by far and second only to Shanon in raw magic power. R-elem has a much smaller pool to draw from, so damage should be more reliable than Hato, but it lacks the piercing strength of GrandTrain.

Shanon is a glass cannon, Stamina is the only dump stat.

Mog Saber is included in the pile, but I'll skip mentioning her since its been 9 episodes since we saw her last.

Legato really only has magic going for him, he's one of the slowest ninja's ever.

Zepeli is weak but fast. The only plan for him is when he has to be used, I need to cram his face full of the highest +Strength Esper I can find. In vanilla I love Cyan as a character, but drat if Zepeli doesn't beat him out for most pathetic member.

If we were to enter Kefka's tower today, Zepeli would definitely be left on the ship, and the second seat would either be Gendo or Legato, depending on if I had enough skeins or MP to sustain offense with Legato.

Extra fun: because his skill is X Magic and not just Magic, he can't cast anything outside of battle.

Yep, I realized it as soon as Chichi got back. But I didn't realize his magic stat was poo poo until last night.

In today's roundup I find out some bosses aren't as Heavy as they seem.

Why yes I'm playing Four Job Fiesta, why do you ask?

Also, full disclosure, I was permitted to go out into the world, and did so. Which is why I was acting informed about Dullahan. So I've already picked up all but Jean, Gendo and the Umaro/Gogo surrogates. Fun was had by all. And by fun I mean bum. and by bum I mean bumrush. And by all I mean Shanon, sometimes Iggy.

Also, spoiler Zepeli continues to be the biggest loaf, the lowest level of the whole party at 29, where he will remain forever

TooMuchAbstraction posted:

You really should've gone to get Mog so you could get Umaro. I think at this point he has to have the Tools and Morph commands, right? Or are not all commands guaranteed to be on all characters?

Zepeli has !Morph (we've relic'd it to something more useful, since it doesn't seem to work, at least based on the MP we'd accumulated). I don't believe anything is certain, we'd need Umaro and Gogo's standins to have Steal, Tools, Rage, Slots, Sketch. Plus who knows, maybe he does have those things, but he's still a mindless berserked lunatic.

Alternatively his default command could be set to Suplex Everything.

I myself have gotten everyone but Gogo, Umaro, Gendo and Jean, since those are somewhat deep in dungeons or things that I don't want to spoil myself on in the videos. This is why I was :circlefap: at Bum Rush. All The Damage. And with Iggy its All The Damage Again.

FYI W-Esper showed up in another seed for Ancient Cave. It only casts a single esper. There may be some hard coding somewhere that considers "you can't double use the magicite item, you can't double cast slots, you can't have two espers, so you aren't capable of doing that."

:siren: FF6 Rando Part 30 - Hype For Nothing :siren:

In this session, we find out just how much of a slog the randomized version of the Phoenix Cave is while I demonstrate my lack of adaptability. Also, we see an old friend. No, not that one. I would never refer to that one as "friend."

No real update for me. Only 2 things: 1 - I forgot to buy more Fenix Downs... again. Thankfully that glitch where you can use tents with other squads as long as one is on the save point works. Second, I finally got a prize out of a monster in a box. It was a Hyper Wrist, so it wasn't that useful.

Also, liquidy was so antsy to get Content out to you that he didn't wait to put this in.

So in one of my randos, one of the Level X0 Magic enemies had innate Runic. That was fun. :shepicide:

Is the Runic Gendo's "Eat loving Ultima" Runic, or normal runic where you can chuck space rocks and ultimas in their face? Did you allow that jerk to just eat every other enemies magic and MP alive until they died, then leave your mimic to mime nothing (which I think means generic fight) until that rear end in a top hat died once every other target was down?

Or just hover over it and be confused for the lack of context.

There's just one thing to mention so no real update today. Dispel does work. May not really "help" since a turn casting dispel is a turn not casting ultima. But you know what they say: "A stitch in time saves 9999"
