[up][up]Ok. You're crazy.

That is a really good game though. Just replayed it last year, and once again basically never took Goombella out of the party. That's probably my only real problem with the game, they give you a bunch of characters, but one of them adds so much dialogue and detail to everything you'd be crazy not to have her in all the time.

Now I'm wondering what would happen if Twilight and Goombella interacted. Also, I find Flurrie's appearance funny for obvious reasons. Kind of wonder how that got past the censors. Then again, I already wonder that about some of Nintendo's other stuff, like the Kirby villain Zero, who bleeds when you attack him, and it's not even Alien Blood. It's freaking red like real blood. You know, for kids!

Come to think of it, some of the partners in that game are interesting personality matches for the ponies. Flurrie and Rarity, Twilight and Goombella, Fluttershy and Koops {Or Vivian}.

@Dark: Part of the issue people had with the initial designs is that the proportions were somewhat weird (i.e. the heads were way too big compared to the bodies), and with the chibi versions they're so stylized that they avoid that pitfall.

@Marston: Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door is one of my favorite RPGs. It has a good combination of puzzles and platforming and the writing is hilarious.

Yeah still think the EQG designs are weird, and not a huge fan, but at least they look alright in motion. The dolls? Pure freaking uncanny valley/ The Chibis are cartoonish enough to avoid that.

The chibis are about 4.5 inches, and have the typical big head, small body proportions, but are big enough to be decently articulate. Apparently they're going to get accessories too.

Eh, as long as they aren't looking like they crawled out of a nightmare dimension (like the Newborn Cuties and other Equestria Girls dolls), then they are fine by me.

Also, my artist friend drew my OC as a robot pony. The assimilation is complete! :D

I think Hasbro has realized their strength in pony is their molded stuff, given these and the Fi M story packs. I'm actually pretty glad they took initiative and made some themselves instead of just giving it to Funko.

Because seeing their opponents healed back to full will totally, devastatingly demoralize them!

If I were Absolute Virtue, sure.

That's odd. You must've missed the right combo. At least, I'm reasonably certain I successfully brute-forced it the first time I played it when I was younger.

Am I at least correct about the hour being 6? I just don't know what went wrong.

Do you have a Let's Play channel where we can watch you play video sauce?

Sorry, no. I recorded some videos of Pickory years ago, but whenever I recorded a video, the audio slowly got out of sync with the video no matter what I did, so I eventually gave up.

Also, are you running with ONLY Sabin and Celes?

Yes. I seem to have missed Shadow. Presuambly he's in Kohlington, which I haven't visited yet.

Locke was basically always in my party. I liked his character

His character hasn't really stuck out to me at all though. He steals stuff, and occasionally there's this thing about swearing to protect Terra, and that's about it. Certianly a lot less memorable than Edgar or Cyan. Or Gau, but he's annoying. Perhaps the problem is too many characters and not enough focus.

Call me crazy, but the only RPG I ever really got into was Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. That game was awesome.

One time some random family stayed at my house and brought it and a gamecube, and I spent most of the time playing it. I got up to chapter 2 bad sadly they left.

Anyway, time to see if I can squeeze in a few more minutes of FF 6 today. I guess I'll try to brute force the clock again.

Yes the Hour is 6

Wait only TWO party members? Even going back to get Shadow, you can still have four total You can go back and get more people, will need it for the bosses and higher fights in that town.

Locke, like I said, mostly just cause there is a lot of good stuff you can get through stealing.

Final Fantasy 6: Just tried to brute force it again. I realized I could use savestates to speed things up a bit. Apparently the correct combination was 6:10:50. I have no idea how I was supposed to get that because while it tells you the hours obviously enouhg, the only clues I could find for the minute and second were 2 and 30 respectively. At least that's done with now.

Obtained chainsaw! Uh, what?

I'm on the second floor balcony of the Inn. Now what?

After walking back inside and downstairs, something weird happened to the wall. Still don't see anything new though.

Incidently, I now have 5 barrier rings since the monsters here drop them so much.

Anyway, guess I'll stop again. Still not quite sure what I need to do in Zozo. I immagine I have to get over to that building that guy was jumping from but I have no idea how.

Wait only TWO party members? Even going back to get Shadow, you can still have four total You can go back and get more people, will need it for the bosses and higher fights in that town.

I would have only taken Sabin, but he needed a lightning rod in case Kefka shows up again.

Chainsaw is another item Edgar can use. Deals a bunch of single target damage, with a chance of instant death.

EG Chibis> MLP Chibis. Some of them look cute, others just look kind of weird to me. Plus they don't have one locked behind being a "Buy the set, get special one free" deal. At least we don't know about that know.

Also, just realized just how much stuff is happening this month. Besides Halloween, theirs R+M S2 finale, Walking dead returning, RWYB returning, Gravity Falls likely taking another break after a big episode, Ash Vs the Evil dead premiering, Supernatural returning, Grim returning, Life Is Strange ending, Tales from borderlands ending, and Wooly World coming out. One hell of a month. Add in the other shows having new episodes as well. Busy, busy month.

As usual I don't follow half of that...

...but there's also season 2 of Fargo.grin

Grim returning
For some reason I took that to mean that The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy was still going. (Hey, if Fairly Oddparents is still going...tongue)

There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.

Didn't know that Fargo show was good enough to get a second season.

Grim adventures is over, but the guy who made it(Maxwell Adams) is working on another thing called Dead Meat.

Oh yeah, and Sex Swing had a reunion tour.

Okay, now FFV is just cheating.

I went through a dungeon, and I found Leviathan at the end. I decide to go at him with my regular party at this point (knight, ninja, black mage, summoner). While fighting, he used about four different attacks against me. Three of them were single-target, and one did no damage and paralyzed while the other two hit for about 400 or 500 damage, which is a lot considering my character with the most HP only has a little over 1300, and my lowest a little under 900. His fourth attack is Tidal Wave, which hits everyone for just under 800. I got thoroughly demolished, though in hindsight that attempt was easily the most fair of them, because he didn't pull the things I'll describe below.

Seeing how fast he can kill me, I say screw it and make everyone a black mage so I can exploit his lightning weakness. This is where things start getting pretty bullshit, because while he was fast before, suddenly he's outspeeding me to the point that he can use two attacks one right after another. While my entire team is Hasted. And with those attacks, his attack pattern went from somewhat evenly using all four moves that I've seen from him, to his basic attack (which still hits for as much as his others) and Tidal Wave. I finally gave up when I saw him wipe my party from full health in one turn by going Tidal Wave into another Tidal Wave, and then attempt a third Tidal Wave immediately after everyone died.

[up]Coral rings are your friend.

#131670: Oct 8th 2015 at 8:19:12 PM

I have no Coral Rings, and I don't really feel like exiting the dungeon to find them, since that means coming all the way back. Besides, I was lucky that I only ran into one Tonberry on my way down here, I don't want to run the chance of encountering more.

EDIT: Killed him. Turns out that the reason he seemed to be going so fast was because every time a Thunder spell is cast on him, he's supposed to immediately counterattack with Tidal Wave. What's funny is that while trying to look into this, I only figured this out because something somewhere on the Internet just kind of offhandedly mentions it, as if the fact that it was a counterattack (rather than him simply moving just that fast) was immediately obvious. And pretty much everywhere I looked, anything talking about the guy just boiled down to "Buy some Coral Rings, spam Thundaga".

So, since following that advice ("just spam Thundaga") only succeeded in getting me killed that much faster, I ended up just switching my ninja out for a spellblade so that I could still get that Thunder damage in without actually casting Thunder on him. Even then, he managed to kill me a couple of times.

Try moving around and hitting some buttons. That is, assuming you're getting to where I think you are.

As for the clock, the trick is that everyone in the town says the time that it isn't. Some of the NPCs that say that don't stand in plain sight, either, so I guess maybe that's why you got the time off?

Irish: Yeah, FF3-5 are all quite heavy on the counterattack mechanic. Glad you figured it out, though. FF6 still has it, but is more lenient about that. Then Square decided to go totally nuts with it (among other things) in the FF4DS remake.

[up]At least in the FFIV remake, it tends to explicitly tell you that the enemy is countering your attack. Here, I kind of just had to sit and wonder why Leviathan started getting so Tidal Wave happy when I filled my party with mages.
