Part 11: Ohh, Mamma Mia. No good... Ohh

Final Fantasy IV: Somewhere In The World - I actually prefer the original Zozo music to this.



I bet y'all think I forgot about you. How could I disappoint my adoring fan?



This place is a real shithole. Might've been a nice purple at one point.



Even the enemies are bad. We fought these guys on the Phantom Train!



I still have the answer to this puzzle memorized after all these years. That's most of the reason I don't randomize the answer. I'm lazy, you see.



This was garbage even back in South Figaro



I'm so mad I'll take my rage out on this hapless elemental. I'm very surprised I didn't see any of these on the Phantom Train, actually. I poof it away easily.



I hope she's not facedown in a puddle.



God this place is depressing.



There are safety rails but how slippery do you think these stairs are?



Woof. These are probably the Hill Gigas replacements and that is a lot of HP for a regular enemy.



Thanks for the junk, jerk.



I spoke too soon. A genuine thanks to the Ancisome! The only other attack x5 Rage I have at the moment has Aqua Rake attached. Grav Bomb *can* be helpful but at worst it won't work whereas Aqua Rake might heal something. The immunities and absorptions are just a bonus.

(I forget about this Rage for a bit)



Seriously, give me something useful!



Oh hell yeah!



+7 MAG PWR BABY! A little bit less Bat. Pwr than vanilla but that's OK. One of the enemies here dropped a Striker as well. They're pretty nice but I still have that SwordBreaker for Pipimi. I'll keep this in my back pocket.



Oh hello friend! It in fact WOULD be great if you just let me through!



Rude.

Bring it on, you Dee Jay lookin' motherfucker.



Fuck. This may be a problem. Dadaluma can do all kinds of shenanigans normally.



Rule #1 of Permadeath: Always Use Float



Minor trivia: someone forgot a few pixels in the Cafe sign.



I was just kidding about this fight being a problem.



Alright fine, I outright lied about it. Are you happy now?



I'll never do it again this LP I swear.



Phew, more Final Dungeon mobs. Can't even Morph them properly, I had to stick some asteroids on their heads.

The other chest had an Amulet.



H...uh...hey Saber. How are you feeling?



Who the hell are you, creeper?




I want off this ride, please.



Oh Jesus no not this place my eyes!



Just...just give me your crystal drugs and leave please.



Cutscenes happen and we pick the same group we just had for consistency's sake.



Esper names aren't randomized but you'll notice I can't equip any of them on Minori. This is the dancingmaduin code at work.



These are the only two people in the current party that can equip an Esper. Bolt and Poison are whatever, Warp is very handy. It can be used to escape a "Hard To Run" battle and also leave a dungeon you're in. We'll check the other Espers once we get someone that can equip them.



I also snagged a couple of these from a mob in the city. Doom on a proc is cool, Evade is cool, I'm not real big on the Soul Sabre's gimmick otherwise. It drains MP instead of HP. Sure, that might be useful in a niche but it's not something you'll want equipped all the time. Usually a creature you'll need to drain MP to kill will also be immune to Doom.



Secret of Mana: Flight Into The Unknown - This is some pretty good music for an airship pilot, good work BC.

Meet our gross next party member, Jon. They like to kidnap women and gamble.



MEE MEE MEE MEE



Oh jeez I hope he isn't charging for tickets, we're kinda broke.



Look man I just asked for a discount, I'm not trying to mug you here.



A wink and a finger waggle might calm him down.



Listen to me, god dammit! We can't advance the game unless you let us pretend to get our Opera Floozy captured.



I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?



I've never heard of a grim post-apocalyptic opera before. Maybe I'm just uncultured.



Wait...where's our old white dude? I'm so confused.

Special sprites like this don't get replaced.



This is a textless ROM. I have no idea what this letter says.



I refuse to ruin one of the best parts of FF6 with my pointless banter so we're skipping the singing scene.



GOTTA GO FAST



Awarmeli are the armless gimp wizards, Bryora are the mini-dragons. I couldn't run away even if I wasn't in a pincer attack. These things are jerks and the rats here are almost always a pain in Permadeath runs. Luckily, if you run out of time here, it doesn't count as an Annihilation so you can keep trying.

They're also very dangerous with all those skills. Lucky for me I dodged all the rest of the rats and didn't have to fight them.



I'm sorry I lied again, I murdered most of them.



COMIN' THROUGH! Taiga looks very upset about this whole process.



PLAY MY DAMN MUSIC



Checking for elemental weaknesses is always helpful. Unless the enemy has Reflect.



Oh Jesus.



Smell ya later.



I don't need your pity!



What a dramatic entrance. Surely someone would have noticed him docking his airship to the Opera House?



"Show me the real Pipimi."



"I said the REAL Pipimi."



"Perfection."



This is no way to treat an old white man.



Did everyone sign their consent forms? Oh, Pipimi didn't? Too bad for you, Jon.



We flip a coin to see who's getting this orgy started.



Both sides of the coin said "No orgies until you stop the Empire." The coin has spoken.



Next time, we tackle a continent spanning Empire all on our lonesome.
