Oh wow, that Hidon quest sucked.
Uploading pictures now, will be finished up soon.
EDIT: Chapter 43!
Hey, remember way back when, there was that guy who totally didn't seem to care that Leo died? He was ranting about some monster that he and Sarda couldn't find when they were young'uns or something. Well, we've got some time... let's go find that monster!
Well, the guy isn't where he used to be... but someone else around here must have some idea of where said monster could be. Maybe that lady?
...Ebon's Rock... Oh well, it's not like we have anything better to do.
Sarda has to come with us because that way he can DO WHAT HAS TOBE DONE TO DEFEAT THE ENEMIES.
Also, it was his quest in the first place when he was younger.
It's too bad he sucks. I could do another montage but I think he'll probably die of age before it's over.
...Ebon's Rock is a very boring place.
Let's head back. Maybe we just asked the wrong person...
OHSNAP SURPRISE CUTSCENE!
Loli gives up and decides not to adventure anymore.
Oh well, we can
beat Kefka find Hidon without her.
You've been saying that for ages and I think you've probably hit the upper limit by now.
Oh no! Not Gungho!
"Was it Sephiroth? Or was it those terrorists? Oooh, I bet it was those dang terrorists!"
Pics or gtfo.
...Okay, now I feel like crap for doubting him.
He can't hear you anymore you senile old twit.
"I'll go it alone from here!"
"SAAAARDAAAAAAA!"
Do you even know what this thing looks like? HEY GUYS IM SARDA IMMA GO HUNT BIGFOOT DONT COME WITH ME YOULL ONLY GET HURT
I don't think you have any say in the matter. You wanted to give up and go home.
Have fun, Sarda! Don't forget to write.
This old word for "hidden"... was it "hidden" by any chance?
I guess we're going with him then.
Cavern Ex Machina!
...So we're now expected to wander through this cavern, unable to see more than a foot around us. Great.
If only I had filled my Pokedex more! Then I could have gotten that damn HM...
This cave, unlike most dungeons we've encountered, revolves around the mechanics of teleport plates on the ground. You step on one and end up at a random place somewhere else. Yes, RANDOM. I've had the same plate teleport me right next to it a few times in a row. It is a stupid, stupid cave.
You have to use the teleport pads to find treasure chests full of coral.
Once you think you've found enough, you give it to the chest.
It's funniest to hear his crazy made-up lingo a few times first, but if you pick yes...
You know what else is happiness?
A warm gun.
Glad we understand each other.
Behind the sentient chest...
THAT SHE BLOWS
WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL
HOLY GRAIL
HOLY
Hey guys, I think this monster's weak against Holy!
Wait, weren't we supposed to learn some Blue Magic for Sarda from this guy? Oh well, it's not like we ever used him anyway.
...
Please explain your reasoning to me again, slowly.
You DO realize he's dead...
WHAT
......b-but...
...If he wasn't dead, why the HELL did we have to avenge his death?!
Loli is just letting Sarda take all the appreciation. She was the one who beat it by dualcasting Holy like crazy.
Sarda. You know like THREE SPELLS and have no physical combat skill. Cripes, you cast Fira for the whole battle.
Yeah, weren't you DEAD a second ago?
He got better. Sure.
Just gonna point out that Sarda was using a knife for the whole battle.
"But you weren't, so you're just gonna have to take everything I say on pure faith!"
Oh, I get it. They were tricking an old man into fighting a monster.... or THINKING he was fighting a monster when we were really fighting it for him! Clever!
"DEAD PEOPLE DON'T TALK! MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONTINUE ACTING!"
Well, that was a huge waste of time.
.....Okay...
We go through the whole business of mindless teleporting and monster hunting until we fight the monster again.
But this time, we're ready!
First, we wipe out the little things around it...
And then we allow Sarda to be hit by a massive attack!
Glorious.
Now that that's taken care of, we can win this fight our usual way.
And now Sarda knows Grand Delta. Huzzah!
And as a quick bonus...
WHITE WHALE
HOLY GRAIL
Let's teach this underwater motherfucker a lesson it will never forget. Because it won't live long enough to forget. Because we're gonna kill it, you see.
It seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill boss fight, I guess. Meaning, no challenge.
LET'S CHECK OUT SARDA'S NEW MAGIC!
What a fucking waste of time.
Hey, turns out El Nino is some kind of magical counterattack move. It uses it every time you cast magic on it unless it dies first. Who'd of thought?
Good thing my magic kills it so quickly.
And Sarda learned a new lore! Wouldn't it be neat if it had a chance of being used at some point?
Of course, we didn't come for the Lore.
We came for a new spell that Bitch hasn't actually learned yet! Hurray!
...Oh thank god this is almost over.
