Beyond Chaos EX: Final Fantasy 6 Randomizer Part #14

Part 14: It Is Terrafying

Previously, we took a boat to this...island? continent? Whatever it's called. There are only two locations here and we'll be going to both of them!

God dammit.

It amuses me that these birds are auto-floating and you can't escape them.

Saber wows them with their sick dance moves.

I'd be in constant seizures too if I looked like that.

Final Fantasy IX: Black Mage Village - This is Thamasa's theme as well as Strago's. It's super fitting! (Strago's regular theme for comparison)

This is a town made up of Baby Boomers. They prospered for years with the magic handed to them and now they keep it all to themselves and get mad at anyone else that calls them out.

They don't even have decent items to buy so instead I dig through the trash and find: Tonic, Kung Fu Suit, Echo Screen, Antidote. Just throwing out good medicine because one of their MageBook friends shared a picture of someone else's child that died while drinking an Echo Screen.

Wait a minute, you don't look very old at all! YOU have a granddaughter?

Chrono Trigger: Corridors of Time - Chrono Trigger is the perfect game.

Silver hair is all the rage nowadays.

Stupid potato doesn't even know to lay on the pillow.

Rem is very very slow but when they do act it's gonna hurt. They're not a natural mage so hopefully they have a decent selection of espers to equip.

Well..at least Ifrit gives Magic Power.

Man, fuck this house.

This is the weirdest fetish I've seen in game.

FlameEater (Level 26)

Blue flames are about 600 F hotter than red flames, if my hurridly Googled results are accurate.

FLAME ON!

It always starts with this, to summon some friends.

Some double Quasar takes care of the littler ones.

This boss isn't too terrible to face. Just a decent amount of HP. It never even used Ice 3 or its unblockable Petrify.

That's one way to bake a potato.

Uncoct (Level 22)
/---------------------------------\
| HP: 955 | ATK:   23 | SPD:   36 |

LOCATION: Sealed Gate, Esper Mountain

With this many monster sprites in the game, I wonder what the odds are of getting a palette swap in the same location are. Two locations actually, as both bears could also appear in the Sealed Gate. The Uncoct are somehow casting a shadow in midair but really, at this point, I don't question much.

I never go through this dungeon without breezing past Relm/Touko like they aren't even there. It's the small things in life.

This motherfucker.

Ultros (Level 25)
/-----------------------------------\
| HP: 26500 | ATK:   23 | SPD:   41 |

LORE: Aqua Rake
STEAL: Hawk Eye
DROPS:
LOCATION:

Time for some seafood soup.

Saber gets to boogying, using my best available healing.

Wooooo, Rem bringing the (non-elemental) thunder with that 44 Magic Power.

Ultros was pretty complacent this whole fight; makes chewing through that 25k HP much easier.

A supposed small child drops out of nowhere, WuFei breaks the 4th wall and Saber resorts to punching Ultros. I..don't think combat works that way, Saber.

Since I don't have Sketch, I still have to kill Ultros like normal. Unfortunately Touko is near worthless here. They have a few spells available as they are a natural mage but nothing super helpful. Tapir does stuff:

code:

Recovers from Blind, Zombie, Poison, Imp, Petrify, Doom, Silence, Berserk, Confuse, Seizure, Sleep, Slow, and Stop. Targets afflicted with Sleep will have their HP and MP fully restored, even if the target is undead.

There is also a bug with it; if the character affected doesn't have Sleep status, it displays a "Miss". It still heals all that stuff at least.

Whirlwind is still near useless.

As I was saying, Touko is pretty worthless this fi- oh.

God damned miser!

"I did it!" Touko says, hoping the party ignores her middling stats.

The only good things here are +1 Speed and +1 Magic Power.

Touko's knees have to hurt casting like that all the time.

Sometimes, Whirlwind is OK I guess.
