Let's Play FF6 3: The Revenge

[Lord Setheris]

After dealing with Cocke I think the whole group deserves a little rest and relaxation in Thamasa, just to make sure we never have to see Sarda's face again after that.

[CelesJessa]

I think we should take a trip in the Figaro Castle, just for good times. And possibly to discover any lost ruins that might be there.

[Possum Knight]

Well, to the best of my knowledge, some of the dragons are kinda deep in the final dungeon and are meshed in with other side quests, so you'll come upon those as you go along.

Like Fanatics tower there's one.


I vote to quickly pick up silly at the Coliseum and them go to Fanatics tower so you can get to double casting!

[Kerensky287]

Aww, fuck, I lost track of time.

LP chapter 39 will be coming early (very early) Thursday morning. Like, before 8BT if Brian the auto-update system follows the recent pattern. But still TECHNICALLY Thursday. EDIT AFTER FINISH: Haha, yeah, I beat 8BT despite finishing at like 1:30.

...Y'know, maybe I should just call it Tues/Thurs/Sat updates because I always do them near midnight...

EDIT:



"Where's the gimp?"

"Gimp's asleep."



"Well, I guess you'll have to wake him up then!"


CHAPTER 39










"...Or else you get the hose again, kupo!"



"Less chilly than hose! Chafe less than leather suit!"



Well, we sure have done a lot of work.



Let's blow off some steam the only way we know how...



...by buying overpriced merchandise at the Jidoor Auction House!





Geez, that sure is a nice, shapely chest.

And the woman behind it is attractive, too.



Oh hot damn, that sounds sharp!



Yes you do man. You hear it HARD.

500,000 gil later...



EEEEEEEEEE!



...ExcaliPOOR? Must've misheard him. Oh well, it cost a lot, so I'm sure I'll get what I paid for!! COME TO BITCHIE!



...

...This expensive sword is somewhat less than sharp. Did I buy the right one?



"Not the RAREST sword on auction, no, I bought that one while you were off laughing maniacally with your winnings. It's pretty sweet."



A rare sword hunter? Ohoho, maybe he'll have something worth using once we kick his ass with the Shitsword as bait!

Coliseum ho!



...Once I'm done with this.



Alright, let's do this thing.



I guess I have to talk to the receptionist...

Wait, do you smell that?



Ugh, I think I stepped in comic relief.

May as well figure out how this coliseum thing works, though.









An even better item, you say?! Oh man, I have plans for this place!

But first, before I get distracted again:



Goodbye Shitsword, hello... uh... Not-shit-sword? I dunno, I'll find out soon enough.



There's my opponent. Good luck, Bitch! Godspeed!



And she trances right away, just as I would!



....And then sits there for like 2 minutes getting the tar beaten out of her. Just as I would if I had gotten distracted by MSN or something.



And then she realizes she's getting stabbed in the face.



One-hit KO!



So that's what I win? That doesn't sound like a sword, but at least it's something.

I wonder where that rare sword thief got to? Oh well, maybe he doesn't ca-



EEEEK!



Over our 4 collective dead bodies, creepy voice.



....Gilgamesh? What kind of a name is that?



Pfff, I'm sure he'll go down just as easily as anyone else. Hey, Gilgamesh! I learned a new attack recently!



It's called Flare. It's even stronger than Firaga.

Of course, it's not gonna matter, since 9999 damage is the upper limit, and Firaga would have done that much anywa-

Gilgamesh takes about 1200 damage, I am gobsmacked and forget to take a screenshot.

Uhh... right.

Summons do damage too!





Oh, fucking FUCK. Shit shit shit shit shit.



It's been a WHILE since I had to use this spell.



But hey! Maybe you should check THIS out! This is the OTHER new spell!



Now we all attack really fast! Beat that!



...Wait, wha-



...So he can jump too. REAL NICE.



Oh, hey, I just remembered! We've been able to go invisible for ages now, and Gilgamesh only uses physical attacks.

Heh, I got all worked up over nothing.



".....and maybe your opaqueness."





"But you have to give it back when I ask you to, deal?"



Sure, sure.

Now, then...



...what's this about exchanging good stuff for better stuff?



Undead monsters do NOT affect me! Just don't mess up my hair. (Cookies if you can tell me where that's from)



What's funny is most of the damage Loli took was self-inflicted. Sketching that enemy tends to cast Quake, which hits everyone on the field. Loli sketched it TWICE.



But ooooh, the reward is sweet.



Hmm... Ichigeki, that's an odd name for a sword. Sounds funny. Let's trade it.



...

Well, la-dee-da! It's the guy responsible for the fucking mess we're in! I know the perfect revenge...



...force him to fight a small child!

Silly: "You bastard! You're making me fight my own daught-"

And Loli opens up with a Silence spell!

You heard nothing. Because he was away in the airship BA-DUM-PSSSSH



Oh crap! He's using some... ninja hand-to-hand technique! What a cruel person!



...

Do we WANT this person on our team?



And Loli bounces right back with a casting of Holy.



And he's down for the count!



Our prize is, umm, the same thing we just bet. A bit of a ripoff, but I'm not complaining because I got to see a ninja get beaten up by a little girl.





What a deep, realistic character.



"We're gonna go beat up a clown god."





Look, bud, you're overestimating yourself. Batman couldn't kill the Joker. Why do you think you could?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yep, pretty eventful chapter this was. I got 3 espers (Golem, Zona Seeker, Gilgamesh) and 2 new characters (Gimp and Silly). For those of you watching carefully you may have noticed that the Ichigeki wasn't there the first time I scrolled down... turns out you have to go through this whole cave, including a 2-part boss battle, to find it, and then you run into a wounded Silly + Dog, and some other stuff happens too... Who'd a thunk it?

No one cares about what happens to Silly. But I saved screens of the dream sequence that happens when you find him for later use anyway.

What's next? Maybe we should round out our character roster? Or perhaps there are ancient dungeons lurking underneath, umm, moving castles? That we need to plunder? Oooh, or maybe we should hit one or both large magical towers or hunt some more magical creatures!

It's up to you guys. Next update will be late Friday/early Saturday... because I'm changing what I define as an "Update day". It now means "The probable day it will be read".

Updates continue with a T/T/Sat schedule! Don't miss the thrilling conclusion! And I'm not going to tell you when that will be, so you may as well check every chapter just in case!

[Lord Setheris]

I heard rumors that there is some kind of giant worm on the triangle island! If it has really been eating adventurers for years, as they claim, surely slaying it would reveal a great cache of treasures and weapons! Cause after all, what worm is a threat to your party?

Summary:
Go for Gogo.
Name him "It"

[Amake]

Ooh, I like It. Go for It!

Fun tidbit: Gogo's cave contains the world's only fake 'stache. Which only Loli can wear. And it turns her from an artist to a monster wrangler. I always found that totally absurd on like, five levels.

By the way I lol'd at Loli's well timed Silence spell. We should make clear that you have no control of your fighter in the Colliseum, and the more wacky spells they know the less their chance of doing anything effective. (I once had Sabin doing Spiraler first thing in an important fight.)

It's the best kind of name.

And I know you know, but you know, I said that still.

edit:// The most irratating fights in colliseum to me were those where Shadow had his dagger which can auto-kill, and he was battling against undead. Endless battle where I can't do anything!
No wonder that I love reset.

[corronchilejano]

Might as well get Gogo to complete the roster and then proceed to finish each personal sidequest getting the rest of the Magicite's meanwhile (except, of course, without the 8 dragon killing thing).

[CelesJessa]

Hmm... Ichigeki, that's an odd name for a sword. Sounds funny.

Because sword names instantly sound cooler if they're in a different language. I mean, who wants a sword called "a poke"? (okay, I'll admit, the translation is probably "one chance" or "one attack" or something, but ichigeki totally translates to "a poke" too, and with no kanji to tell me otherwise, I'm going to assume it's that, which is hilarious for a sword name.(Or it could just be "Blow"))

Teehee.

Also! I support exploring that Triangle Island. I want some of that fake-stache action.

From now on the sword's name is Ichigekimon because that's totally how japanese works (get it, it's a pokemon lololool... unless japanese follows the distributive law in which case it would be amon pokemon BUT THAT'S JUST GETTING CRAZY)!

...In any case, I would like to point out that it seems a little logic-defying to keep getting characters when nobody will switch the party anyway, and 2 characters will be left out of the final dungeon anyway. But I'm not the boss. I'm just the lackey who really has all the power but can't or won't use it for whatever reason.
