Part 20: Suddenly, High Technology!
Chapter 18: Suddenly, High Technology!
This otherwise unnoticeable island harbors a dark secret.
Death robots!
Death robots a beastmaster's soothing words can control.
Death robots we can make explode at themselves.
That give 500 experience a pop.
Also, Missile is blue magic. It reduces the target's HP to 1/4th.
I could've gotten to Jachol as soon as I got the fire-powered ship, but the walk is long and Bio Soldiers scare me.
Heh, sounds like a big deal, don't it?
I could tell this kid I flew over them on my magic bird.
But I won't. Because being a pompous asshole isn't possible in this game.
The Coral Sword is lightning elemental, and a big chunk of the upcoming enemies are robots. Mage Mashers are nonelemental daggers that cause Silence sometimes upon hitting and give 1 magic.
Considering that I'm in the middle of the 'magic fucks everything up' part of the game(read: most of it), I don't exactly need more than maybe a Coral Sword for Burtz to spellblade.
I think 4, 10, and maybe 1 are the only FF games that keep physical attacks and magic about equal through most of it.
On the idea of controlling enemies, the Black Flame's Dark Spark is Blue magic. It halves level, rounding down, and can screw over a lot of stuff when paired with Lv. 5 Death.
Anyway, let's fly back to Gohn and ask King Tycoon just what the fuck that hole was about!
What's going on?
Look! The town...
HOLY SMOKES! WHAT IS THAT THING?!
...
OH GOOD GOLLY FUCK! CID!
Save your breath...
...'coz we saw the ruins through the telescope!
The ancient Ronkans amplified the earth crystal to make their town float. But once they realized amplifying the crystal could make it shatter, they stopped the machine. Shake a leg, miscreants! Someone's turned the machine back on!
Do you think Father...
Never! He would never do such a thing! How're we supposed to get that high?
... That's simple enough!
Are you sure? You calling me a liar? OF course not... it's just that your memory's still kinda spotty, right? Pish-posh! The adamantite part is clear as day! It's good a place as any to start. Let's go check it out.
The word pumice comes to mind.
Huh. I wonder if all meteorites have switches like that.
I've always imagined Adamantite as green for some reason.
...It never ends, does it?
BOSS FIGHT: ADAMANTOISE 
Rods broken: 9
Otherwise, he's an annoying prick who attacks twice a round.
Quick! Give it here so we can install it! Burtz, you guys take a break.
Cid, Cid, Cid, Cid, Mid, Mid, Mid, and Mid install the Adamantite at blazing speeds!
Rise and shine! It's done!!! Yikes, You work fast! After you lift off, press the A button to fly higher! So, with this, we can go to the floating ruins? Technically, yes, but... Well, take a gander at this.
Whatever, I'll smash it!
...Goddammit, Burtz.
NEXT TIME:
Oh fuck!
