Hi guys, today, we got trapped in the Underworld. Again. As our new airship can't survive lava yet, we can only go to the Underworld part of Babil and the Dwarven Castle. Castle it is.
Giott: You've returned! Were you able to recover the Crystals?
Cecil: I'm sorry...
Giott: I see. Golbez is very persistent. He is trying to open the Sealed Cave by force. It will be a matter of time before he succeeds, though. Please... get the Crystal before he does. Luca, Come here.
Luca is Giott's daughter. She owned the Calcas and Brinas before they went all A.I. Is a Crapshoot on us. Giott asks for Luca's necklace.
Giott: This is the key to open the Sealed Cave. Without this necklace, no one can enter. We must protect the last Crystal!
Somewhat clever key I'll admit.
Cecil: We'll do our best.
Also, I have no idea why Giott is still tasking Cecil with things. All we've done is screw things up even worse. And kill Rubicante, but I don't think they care about that.
Still, we can't GET to the Sealed Cave. Maybe we should have a look around. In the Infirmary...
Cid: Hey, where's my food?
This shouldn't surprise anyone by now. Not Quite Dead count: Cid:1
Cecil: Cid!
Rosa: I can't believe it!
Kain: How did you...?
Cid: Heh heh!
Edge: Who's this geezer?
Cid: Geezer!? Who's this snot-nosed kid!?
Edge: Watch your mouth, windbag! I'm Edge, prince of Eblan!
Kain: It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Edge: I'm also handsome and really skilled!
Rydia: Oh hush! Cid needs to rest, not listen to you brag!
Cid: Heh heh, Rydia's got you whipped, eh, kid?
Edge: Shut up! Geez!
Master cockblocking combo there. We tell Cid about our lack of progress and that the last Crystal is beyond the lava.
Kain: We've taken an enemy airship, but it can't fly over the magma around here.
Or magma. Whatever.
Cid: I guess it's time for me to shine! You're all just hopeless without me...
Cid gets out of bed. The dwarven doctors try to put him back.
Cid: Aw, can it and give me a hand!
They leave.
Rosa: I think he's fine.
Cecil: Yeah...
We follow him out to the airship where he, the dwarves, and a somewhat involuntary Edge make some adjustments.
Cid: Now you can fly over anything.
Rosa: Thank you, Cid!
Cid: ...
Kain: Cid!?
Cid: Zzz...
Yeah, like they were gonna kill him right there.
Well, we can now go anywhere, but first, I've got other plans. First, we summon the Fat Chocobo by using some Gyshal Greens in the Dwarven Castle basement. and drop off some weapons I may want later, but not now. You see, the player characters in FFIV have only 48 inventory slots. The Fat Chocobo has a lot more, maybe infinite, I dunno. I want as much space as possible.
Next, we sell some crap I'll never use. This leaves me with 30 spare slots. Plenty.
Then we head back to the Tower of Babil (Underworld) and head up to B7. For some reason, the bridge in is back. On B7, we encounter a Security Eye.
Now we're going to make use of Auto Battle. Auto Battle in this version allows you to repeat the last move your character took automatically. We set Kain, Rydia and Cecil to Defend, Rosa to Pray, and Edge to Steal. You see, from Security Eyes, we can steal Sirens, the most important item in the game. Why, you'll see later. The Security Eye won't fight back unless we damage it, so we're at no risk, although Pray is up, as Edge takes 2 damage if he fails. We can get nearly infinite Sirens this way.
I'm going to end it here, I'm not reporting stats, as my steal fest is going on as I upload this update. See you next time!
UPDATE: 485 Sirens in one hour. Yeah, that's good.
