Looking back at some of the Yoshitaka Amano artwork for Final Fantasy IV, VI, and even IX, I realize now that Amano's artwork didn't really work for the medium of a video game. Amano's artwork is good as a stand-alone, and as a baseline for the sprite artists and modelers to base around.
But this isn't about saying that Nomura is a screwy hack who shouldn't ever design clothing. This is about fun!
Worst Forums Ever, Let's Play Final Fantasy IX!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-01.png)
This is about an epic tale of mortality, justice, and searching for your place in this great world.
The world of Gaia has had its own share of strife, based on some of the backstory the game comes with, what with all the wars that have plagued the Mist Continent. In this world, airship travel is common and all that, which fills me with glee.
But anyway, let's get on with it!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-02.png)
Looks like someone decided that the best way to see the world was to set out across the ocean in a dinky little rowboat. And to not check the weather report prior to leaving.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-03.png)(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-04.png)
...Huh. Looks like IT WAS ALL A DREAM.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-05.png)
Aww, don't cry, honey. At least you're not Yuna. You're also in a pretty nice place right now.

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/001-11.png)
Okay, gang. What we got here is a frilly-shirt-wearing nancy boy with The Mayor-like wrist cuffs. At least he isn't wearing crappy overalls with removable pant legs.

Alright. Seven characters.

Goku.

Well, looks like this one's over!

Well then, call me Dagger!

If you wankers can't come to an agreement by the time I get home from work tomorrow, I break out the dice.

You're gonna name him a random series of numbers?

I'm naming him 3d6+2
(THIS IS A LIE)

AAAAAAA

AAAAAAA

Call him Adam
Steiner can be Duncan
Vivi Orko
Amarant should be Fisto
and so on

The slow decent into merging with the T. Frog forums begin here, don't they?
Goku.
Appropriate and seconded.
-
Hey, I was giving up on Let's Plays before they were a twinkle in Bang's eye.
-
Okay just the one Let's Play.
-
And there weren't any screenshots and videos in that one.
-
I'm the king of lazy!
-
I came into this thread to ask what the hell is wrong with you. But then I realized this was a thread for FFIX, not FFXI. My mistake! Carry on!
-
I'm gonna have to second DN. Naming your Final Fantasy characters after a theme is the de facto way to go.
-
Goku, because if you're anything like me you'll make all the same jokes when [spoiler]Trance or whatever that gameplay mechanic is called[/spoiler] comes up later on.
-
Spoiler: [spoiler]Kuja is a boy[/spoiler]
-
Another vote for Goku, provided you follow the Dragon Ball theme.
-
Goku, because if you're anything like me you'll make all the same jokes when [spoiler]Trance or whatever that gameplay mechanic is called[/spoiler] comes up later on.
That's exactly why I feel Adam is a better choice.
Plus, the He-Man names sync up a lot better with the characters.
-
For something completely different:

From the file I used for my test run LP I did in #finalfight.
Vivi = Fighter made me :lol:.
"Fighter, can you break down this wall with your magic?"
-
Okay, guys. We have 4 votes for Goku, and that's good enough for me. I will start playing some more, then take a few screenshots and whatnot. Expect it either later on tonight, or tomorrow.
-
BUT I WANT IT NOW!!
Okay fine. I'll be patient.
Also, yes, Goku is acceptable.
-
Goku is best, yes. I mean, tails aside, [spoiler]they've got the same fucking backstory[/spoiler].
-
Are we really using spoiler tags for FF9 here
because seriously I already gave away the game's biggest spoiler
-

But you used a spoiler tag for that, so you didn't.
-
Aside from Vivi's being generally endearing and Garnet's well-rendered ass, I found FFIX kinda forgettable. I remember fighting a giant orb, running around an auction and/or opera house looking for playing cards or something... and a villain who was pretty hot.
Still, anything beats junctioning.

Kayma: Dear God you had better be talking about Beatrix,

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-01.png)
...right then!
I'm not quite keen about the name, but I'm sure it'll set up for some HIGH-LARIOUS jokes later on.
Now that Goku has identified himself to his unseen interrogator, the door opens, and out pops Generic Buddies #1, #2, and #3.
They wonder where "the boss" is, and suddenly!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-02.png)
OH GOD. THEY GOT HIM. THE DRAGONSPORES GOT HIM.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-03.png)
Final Fantasy IX introduces an interesting concept: monsters with multiple items. Obviously, the bosses of the game hold the best stuff. Thorough stealing will net you some really nice items for your point in the game.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-04.png)
See, I got this Mage Masher, a stronger weapon for Goku!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-05.png)(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-06.png)
Oh, thank god! I saved the boss from the Dragonspores...wait what?
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-07.png)
...Only one conclusion can come from this. Goku and his buddies are obviously Mr. Fabulous Gay Leader's harem.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-08.png)
Right...so that's what they call it these days...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-09.png)
...Oh, okay. I got the wrong idea. These cats want are kidnapping the princess? Everything I know about RPGs is WRONG!
So, what's Goku's role in this whole thing?
Hmm...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-10.png)
Mahahaha.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-11.png)
Okay, got it. He's obviously trying to camoflage his sexuality.
Anyway, the airship moors on the Alexandria Castle's lawn, which is witnessed by a particular boy. He's particular for 2 reasons. First, the camera centers on him. Second...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-13.png)
He's a freakin' black mage.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-14.png)
Okay. The title screen for reals. NOW the game begins.

Black Mage Fall Down count: 1
A kind little girl helps the black mage up and gives him his ticket to the performance tonight back, and I take the opportunity to tweak the settings a little bit, speeding up battles, etc. I switched the text boxes and stuff to blue to help make the text show up a little easier.
Final Fantasy IX features a shitton of items just laying about all over the place, signified by a thought bubble with a question mark or exlamation point hovering over the character's head.

Jerk.
Anyway, let's go turn our ticket in to get in to the show!
What the...GOD DAMN IT. It's a fake? What the shit is that?
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-19.png)
The ticket taker is nice, however, and gives Black Mage a few trading cards, drops the name 'Alleyway Jack', and sends him on his way.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-20.png)
Let's skip rope and be totally hetero!

Fuck.

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-25.png)
Dante here decides to take off, and who should show up but...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-26.png)
...this jerk. He taunts BM about the fact that he can't get in to the show with his phony ticket, then he drops a proposition.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/002-27.png)
...uh, what? Well, this turns in to a "BUT THOU MUST!" scenario, so BM decides to play along. His first assignment, a lookout. Rat Boy steals Dante's ladder and dashes off down the alley. Instead of being a dutiful servant, I tary for a bit, and run in to (gasp!) Alleyway Jack in an alley! True to the ticket booth guy's word, he teaches me about Tetra Master, the card game played the world over!
(I lost my recording footage of this part, but I won, damn it.)
Anyway, since there isn't much else to do here, BM runs along and follows Rat Boy to a small chapel on a sidestreet of Alexandria. Rat Boy orders Black Mage to go up the ladder, but a moogle falls on him! (Black Mage Fall Down count: 4) Black Mage receives a quick primer about the Moogle saving system, and Mognet, the postal system that has completely failed so hard that they enlist BM's help.
Anyway, I save the game, and then go up the ladder and outside, where Rat Boy leads Black Mage across the rooftops. Then, a thought occurs to Rat Boy.

Hm!

Alright. YOU know what to do!

So now we're okay with Let's Play threads?
-
Bulma.
-
Moe says "Clumsy," at which I must shake my head nay.
If we're following the Dragon Ball trend, go with Krillin. As I'm not a fan...
FIGHTER. In caps, yes.
Or Lezard, the blackest mage of them all!
Maybe Shaft, because he's actually... like... black. Yeah, I like Shaft.
Oh hell, I just don't know anymore *_*

Toth.
All Black Mages are named Toth. It is ape law.
-
I would put forward Orko, but since everybody decided to that Goku was a better name than Prince "By the Power of Greyskull... I have the POWER!" Adam, fuck it.
Name him Lily.

Maybe Sanzo if you wanna mix-n-match your Monkey King versions.

Ralph.

Shaft!

-
Yeah. Shaft is decent.
-
No, name him Orko. It's one of the few bits of 80s nostalgia I actually had a connection to.
-
You don't the right to ask for Orko now after I tried so hard to get all the characters named after the Masters of the Universe.
-
I really want Orko, but Fighter worked so well for some jokes.
-
:sadpanda: I am a big fan of themes, and neither Orko nor Fighter fits with the name we already gave...
... I guess we've gottsa go with FGTR on this one.
-

Orko +1

NANAKI'S REAL NAME IS NANAKI?!?!?!?!?!?! :scanners:

R66-Y? That's a stupid name. What should we name him, Crono? R66-Y? That's a cool name!

So, we're pretty much down to Orko and Fighter.

You're one to talk, pal. His name's Puck, by the way.
Right...anyway, the two kids dart across the rooftops, and Puck uses the ladder to get across and over the wall of the castle. If this were an RPG of the modern day, then you'd probably have to do some stupid stealth minigame. Thankfully, that's absent.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-03.png)(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-04.png)
Solid Snake and Gray Fox they are not. I'm suprised that the posh nobles don't sense the funk of street urchin coming off either of the kids.

(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-07.png)
Oh. I guess that's the queen. Good god, how is Princess McSadface alive? By all rights, I'm sure after Queenie there squirted her out, she would think "MMMM DELICIOUS HAM"...but this isn't Friday, so...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-08.png)
Speaking of Princess McSadface, she's still McSadface. Her Sadfaceness doesn't go unnoticed.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-09.png)
Good lord, that guy's wearing some SERIOUS eyeshadow. Perhaps this is the emo git of the game?
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-10.png)
...He smiled. Never mind.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-11.png)
Yay! The play begins! Pretty fireworks! Glee! Rapture! Fun!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-12.png)
Queenie's happy!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-13.png)
...Huh. A hydraulic orchestra pit above the stage. That must've set them back a penny or two.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-14.png)
You can't tell behind the whatever that's obscuring Gorku's face, but he's obviously enjoying himself too.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-15.png)
Even Captain !Emo's in the spirit!

Aww...she's not in the spirit...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-18.png)
Fabulous Gay Leader introduces the play, "I Want To Be Your Canary". Apparently, this is the city's most popular play. It must be damn good if it's running on the Alexandria equivalent of Broadway for God knows how long. Apparently, like centuries or something. Hell, even Cats and Rent didn't run more than a few decades.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-19.png)
...Apparently, they blew the budget on the hydraulic stage, and there wasn't any money left over for costumes. The gang's all wearing their street clothing. Even Fabulous Gay Leader, who probably just took his costume out of his personal closet.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-20.png)
Banter! What follows is actually interesting. The fight scene is carried out in an actual battle. However, replacing everyone's Steal commands is SFX, which do interesting little things, but deal no damage. It's a play, remember?
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-21.png)(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-22.png)(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-23.png)
Thrilling! I'm captivated. Eventually, our heroes vanquish King Fabulous Gay Leader and his two cronies. Then, for absolutely no reason...
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-24.png)
I don't get it. Why would Goku and Blank (they don't have stage names.) start fighting inexplicably. This isn't carried out in a normal fight scene, but in a button-pressing minigame.
The idea is to do it as fast and accurately as possible so it looks THRILLING.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-25.png)
Apparently, I wasn't too convincing...
Anyway, nuts to this. Time to sneak in to the castle!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-26.png)
Two stolen sets of armor later, Goku and Blank are prepared for their infiltration mission! Now, if this were a modern RPG, there'd be some stealth bullshit mini-game. Thankfully, this is not the case, and it's not too far before Goku triggers the next event. A white mage is running down the hall, and bumps in to Goku. He puts the mack daddy moves on her.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-27.png)
Wait a second...what would a normal, run of the mill white mage be doing running around here? It's gotta be the Princess!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-28.png)
Get 'er!
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-29.png)
...Oh Jesus, it's the Recurring Sub-Bosses. Anyway, they bumble about trying to tell the Queen about the Princess getting the hell out of Dodge.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/003-30.png)
That luscious bit of warrior woman is Beatrix, and she is the only reason this game was made. Anyway, she informs the Queen about the princess. She calls upon her...

Presenting Captain Adelbert Gronku, of the Alexandria Pluto Knights! It should be stated that Alexandria is a total matriarchy, so much that there is a separate order of knights exclusively for men. This order of knights being nine in number, including the Captain. Also, these other eight knights are the biggest screwups imaginable. Gronku calls a muster immediately to find the princess, and only two of them show up. And these are the two who Goku and Blank beat up for armor.
Classy.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/004-02.png)
They need some serious lessons in military bearing.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr358/kirinjimcdohl/004-03.png)
Gronku searches the entire accessible castle, and the princess is nowhere to be found!

Well, this certainly cheered her up. Can't call her Princess Sadface anymore. Goku bravely chases after her, and they both land on top of the orchestra pit.

...TELL me he doesn't remind you of Heavy. Steiner gives chase, taking a cue from the other two!

...Uh...you're goin' the wrong way. Unless there's a Sandvich over there. I think that I should hunt down the Namingway card so I can rename him to Heavy.

Ouchu.

God damn it, Lyrai. We could have called him Heavy.
This is all your fault.

Team Fortress 2 humor is fast approaching the Portal threshold. Where something funny or clever begins to incite rage due to people thinking it needs to be in everything, everywhere, ever.
-
Okay, kids. I realize that the way I want to go about this is TOO FUCKING MUCH WORK. I also realize that I want to actually play through this game myself. Plus you guys suck at naming characters.
Sadly, this thread is over, but I HIGHLY suggest you guys procure a copy of FF9 by any means necessary, because it's very enjoyable!
-
And so it ends like all other pyoko projects.
-
Except that I am picking up the torch this winter break! Look forward to it!
-
My thing with FF9 is that the characters are expressive and interesting to look at, rather than the flappy face talking vapid boring FF10 people.
-

Lyrai. Lyrai. Lyrai.
Although I was hoping we could name one of the next characters Gackt.

Yeees?
-
Lyrai is sort of a dumb name.
...
What? Oh. Oh right, that.
-
..."Brentai" is my fault. But I take no credit or blame for anything else.
-
I keep reading this as "Let's Play Final Fantasy XI" and then thinking, "Let's not."
-
I kept mistaking that thread for this one and being confused about Kraken Clubs.

I guess this would be a bad time to mention I have a Black Orc named Compainion Cube.

Yes it would. I hate you forever.
No seriously though. The other day there were two redneck teenagers at the Uhaul store screaming TF2 quotes at each other.
It's a FUN GAME. So is Portal. It's a rarity in this day and age to have such wonderful games. But people, please. Quoting it 24/7 is not a substitute for actual humor!
PORTAL HUMOR RAPED MY DOG
...
This thread was about FF9, right? I'm one of the few people who enjoyed that card game. Mostly because I'd savereload until I got power cards early on and basically rape everyone else up the ass.
-
While telling them to cry some more, right?

Well, realize that for the most part, the card game in FF9 was completely god damned random. It never told you in any useful detail how to win, so getting cards that are incredibly high level was the only reliable way to win.
And even then, sometimes the bits and bytes would randomly go "Nope, you lose this one"
-
Truthfully, the way I've seen it is to use cards with fewer arrows, because more arrows = more chances for your ass to get comboed.
-
Okay, issue: Are Tents bugged?
I just used a tent at a save point, and it restored NO ONE's HP, and a dead Quina didn't get resurrected by it. I used a Phoenix Down on Quina and another tent, and Quina was only at 260/518 HP.
-
cottages :whoops:
-
I don't think Cottages are in FF9.
-
The only odd thing about tents in FF9 that I can remember is that you can use them in battle, which has a chance of a snake biting you and poisoning you. I used it on a boss once and it actually poisoned him, but I doubt that works often.
-
Well, I know tents in 9 don't resurrect characters, and I'm pretty sure they only restore a set portion of HP to all characters.
-
Is it so miniscule that it only heals a certain number of HP?
