CONTENT WARNING: episode contains an accurate depiction of the feeling of the chocobo race. May trigger PTSD. :negative:

edit: if you're gonna do all the bonus fights, are you going to finish the plot first? I ask mainly because if you're strong enough to beat the ultimate enemy, you'll beat the final story boss in about two or three hits. Not really pushing for either choice, since completely clowning on the end boss is pretty funny. But it's also kinda cool to show it sooner when it's a little bit of a challenge.

Grace sounds oddly frustrated by the game. Does he genuinely think there's nothing fun there? I always enjoyed the combat and the sphere grid. And some bits of the story are Good.

I've been struggling with that myself, on the one hand I do want to fight Sin now while it's still a difficult fight, but on the other hand if I fight Sin now, I guarantee my barely functioning mass of misfiring synapses will get distracted and hyperfixate on something else, leaving this LP sorta semi finished in a way that satisfies nobody

That might sound super specific, which is because that happened to a couple games. The Saboteur comes to mind

Grace might be frustrated with ME, or with Blitzball, but I can assure you this stupid JRPG bullshit is the exact brand of garbage he loves

I think if you beat the final boss I'd consider the LP finished enough that there's no shame to moving on (not that there's shame anyway, but you know what I mean)

Also, I just got to the end of the video and I'm actually super glad to be wrong and hear that the dark aeon doesn't spawn until you leave Zanarkand all the way and start having the airship to fly around. That poo poo sucks and anyone not having to deal with it until they want to is a win.

I fought the lava, and the lava won.
What happens when you pray to the cactus stones is that they add Qactuars to the random encounter pool for the Thunder Plains. The more you pray to, the more you can meet in a single fight, up to three. Of course, with No Encounters active, the contents of the encounter pool are irrelevant, but you do need to catch some if you want to complete the captures for the area.

Oh sick, I've been off screening a bunch of collection stuff because it's boring as poo poo, but I haven't done thunder plains yet :toot:

Also despite not being on the list for the stolen fayth cave, I fought and killed like five Marlboros. Gooba& can hastega and Delay Buster (a stronger version of delay strike) constantly so Marlboro just never gets a turn :v:

I know it might be wrong, but I want Seymour's mom's aeon :banjo:

Anima Quegg's a pretty nifty aeon; I've found her useful when getting started on the Monster Arena grinding process.

You can get more info about the O'aka/Wantz stuff if after you go to the Thunder Plains for the first time, you turn back around and head to the Farplane. Why anyone would think to do this, I don't know, but you get a very hidden scene of Wantz and his sister.

If you hadn't told Dona to give up on her pilgrimage after Home gets destroyed, you can find her in the Zanarkand Dome. She's like "what the gently caress there's nothing here this sucks" and you tell her "yeah we killed Yunalesca sorry"

Yeah, that's a fun interaction. If Yuna and her gang weren't around, killing religious leaders, Donna would have been the fifth summoner to succeed. Also Barthello would have been the next Sin.

Unfortunately, it's true. I love Blitzball but you can definitely burn out on it pretty fast.

Shout-out to the Blitzball mega fan on YouTube who has levelled every single team to Level 99.

EDIT: You know, that Jecht Sphere got me thinking that starting in Besaid is by far the most optimal route. Poor Braska started in Bevelle, had to go to Besaid via a reversed route of what our party did, then loving backtrack all that way just to get back to Bevelle. drat.

They do have everything needed to win it, except for the stats. Just get Wakka able to do true-max damage per hit, and then one perfect spin of the Attack Reels will kill it.

If you push your various stats high enough, you can probably defeat that guy without even breaking the lower damage limit.

I'm sure some combination of First Strike > Rikku uses a broken Mix could win the day here, too.

Turns out that while the Remiem chocobo race has some good prizes, it's not necessary for the celestial weapons!

So I'm not doing it.

E: The audio is janked up until I fix it roughly four minutes in. My computer sets the mic volume to 50 for some drat reason whenever I unplug the microphone but I need it at 100 dammit :argh:

There might be a small break in content, it's currently like 40 degrees outside and our downstairs neighbours are a billion years old and/or actual lizards who have their windows open to let the heat in, so our AC is barely keeping up and I don't like any of you enough to turn it off for long enough to record

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.

I swear we're recording this Saturday, my shift change made it so I work evenings which narrows our recording options a bit, plus sometimes I gotta work the weekend during the day which means I can't drink the night before because I gotta get up early plus I'm helping my boss by switching to days for a bit because there are literally no causals or part timers left plus the provincial healthcare system is horrifyingly close to complete collapse and I'll find out within 24 hours whether we're holding a strike vote and god drat I miss the feeling of being bored

As fun as it is to do the "Hur dur entertaining us is more important" thing, make sure to take care of yourself.

I'm with you, I don't like living in interesting times anymore either, I want to go back to mildly dull and entirely predictable times. Cursed fortune cookie!
