Beyond Chaos EX: Final Fantasy 6 Randomizer

Part 18: Time For Phun!





It's that time again!



This is a cozy little place. Has the same relaxing town music as some of the other places. It looks a little worn down but mostly untouched!

Chrono Trigger - Battle 1

Oh sweet Jesus!



No, not that giant flash of light and music change. The item shop! It sells Megalixirs for a 65k! Expensive but boy are those nice to have. I've also edited out the characters we haven't gotten yet, no spoilers here.



No reason we can't engage in a little backwoods drug dealing.



Wei is the only one that can equip it and as they can't cast magic at all, this Esper is useless to me.



I've never seen a load bearing clock before.



Normally this would be Sabin. Instead, we get Mog. Since Mog is missable in the WoB, we get the chance to name them now if we wanted. We don't, but we could!



For those unaware, the Collapsing House is a timed segment. There are random battles, treasure chests, and a child to rescue. Most permadeath runs avoid the chests like the plague, for reasons you will see in a bit. They have a good chance of holding amazing gear but they are not worth the risk.

The Phobod have 1208 HP and nothing really notable. That's about 400~ HP higher than a GP Rain will do so the fight is not quite as fast as I'd like. They also sometimes cast Imp.



Eniw Ibi can cast Schiller, lowering my level. Otherwise, not a threat. This would be a real easy permadeath house.



I stuff the child inside Scar's robot body and head to the last chest in the house. What'll it be!?



A good reason not to open chests here! I actually came to the house first thing and found this little fella hanging out. I decided I wanted to kill it and Serena couldn't do it alone. Normally this boss is in a chest in Daryll's Tomb.



A Blowfish for 1000 and Kaoru takes to the sky.



Serena hitting hard with that Attack x5 rage.



Unfortunately it frequently counters with, and regularly casts, Giga Volt. It hurts a lot.



Even the multi target version is rude.



Hope you remember how the Whelk fight at the beginning of the game worked!



With Serena doing almost 3k and Kaoru doing at least that much every time, this fight was a lot easier than trying to solo it. It did take me a couple tries but was short enough that I'm not uploading video of it.



They were probably rich, fuck em.



Later, suckers!



One year out, Mobliz is in real bad shape. A direct hit from Kefka's Light of Judgement will do that.



Oh god I hope this isn't another Little Lamplight.



God dammit!



An adult! Oh thank goodness.

(The sprite is Judge Vossler, who I'm guessing is either Final Fantasy Tactics Advance or Final Fantasy XII)



Said adult appears sad, maybe that they're stuck in an underground bunker with so many children. And two horny teenagers.



Through a Vulcan mind meld, the stranger tells us what happened.



Everyone but the children died. And I guess more children showed up?



We leave because this person doesn't have any fight left in them. They just want to hide and protect the children.



There are loud footsteps outside.



Fuuko is their name, murdering monsters is their game.




Nevermind.



SIKE we never left!



Phunbaba is a good monster sprite.



Our party don't give a fuck about -aga spells.



Phunbaba DOES give a fuck about meteors.



And clocks jumping on them. Seeya, nerd.



A nap sounds like a good idea, Fuuko.



Phunbaba dropped an esper! It has +2 Speed! Nobody can use it yet!



We'll be back in a bit.



Alright we're back.



The plot has advanced, time is irrelevant.



SOMEHOW, one of the horny teenagers got pregnant. Also Phunbaba has returned I guess.



I beat his ass some more and he rewards me by Blowing Wei and Serena away. Kaoru is still in the air.



Oh shit, it's on now!

That's the Emperor from Final Fantasy 2. Also Fuuko isn't our Terra replacement but that doesn't matter, the game still Morphs them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNfEDl31Fms - No failures this time, just success.



Oh. Whatever weapon Fuuko has equipped has an element that Phunbaba absorbs.



We got ourselves a Rager! Even their "throw my body at the enemy" attack does nothing.



Luckily, Scar and Kaoru are the best two characters to have been left behind.



WaveCannon is the worst thing Phunbaba can throw at us. It's not TOO dangerous but my only healing with Scar dead is potions.



Finally, with Fuuko dead I can stop healing the boss. Kaoru has a Wall Ring on so the only potential problems are its Attack x3 and WaveCannon, both of which frequently missed due to Kaoru flying in the sky.

LOCATION:
Just a big fucking sack of meat. The previous two iterations (all three previous forms have separate stats) had Blow Fish and I'm very happy this one didn't. 1,000 unblockable damage is bad. Fuuko had a Graedus on, which is Pearl elemental.



Kids scared of their "momma" when morphed.



Kids realize that this person is their momma and are happy, then momma pees on us. A classic tale.

Secret of Mana - Secret of the Arid Sands (Fuuko)

Final Fantasy VI - Umaro (Popuko)

We got us two party members to look at! Also, the music in game is weird since we randomized character locations. The game plays the music of the character that is normally supposed to be there, instead of the character that is. I've provided their real themes, instead of the ones that played here.



While I was making seeds to find a good one, I kept my eye out for this exact thing. A Rage Rager! Yes, this means Fuuko will chose a random Rage from the choices while also attacking like a Berserker! You can't get much more RNG than that. They have the Strength, Speed and Magic to back it up, too. I'm sure no one will vote to put this person in the party because who could possibly want to make things difficult for me?

Popuko is still random but less so. R-Water is the same as Ranma's 3xWater, just with changed percentages.

code:
(3/8 chance each)  Water Edge
  (2/8 chance each)  Bismark, CleanSweep
  (1/8 chance each)  El Nino
The random Slots I drew are pretty nice and I'll show them off in a future update.



Popuko also gets Sraphim as an option, which still does me no good as they don't have Magic either.

Nobody else gets Sraphim.



And we're off!

------------------------------------------------------------

ALL TREASURES COLLECTED
Wing Edge
Jewel Ring
Tiger Mask
Gold Armor
Dragon Horn
Poison Claw
DaVinci Brush
Safety Bit

Nothing with major changes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Please VOTE for which location we should aim for next from this list:

Mt. Zozo
Cave on the Veldt
Owzer's House
Zone Eater's Stomach
Doma Castle
Opera House
Narshe - If you choose Narshe, please also VOTE for which three characters we take to make room for Mog's replacement: Serena, Wei, Kaoru, Scar, Fuuko, Popuko. We will be recruiting both characters from Narshe.

For reference, we still can't get the person at Fanatic's Tower as we need Relm's replacement and I refuse to do the Phoenix Cave with less than eight people. I'm not THAT big a masochist.

There are other places to go in the WoR that don't really need their own special update so I will sprinkle them in as needed. Or I might forget to include them. That probably won't happen.

Voting will last for one week, until Saturday, August 17th 2019.

Edit: FUCK! I forgot! Also VOTE for which four characters I take along.
