Part 9: Episode 17 - 20 coverage
Welcome back, blitzing through the floating continent and a little taste of the World of Ruin.
NinjaGrass confuses.
Shanon and Iggy being walking death machines mean if I lose control bad things happen.
In my panic I begin grief-eating.
Thankfully GrandTrain hits all enemies even in a pincer attack.
Blitz gives zero shits!
Zero.
I weigh the difference between the Graedus and the Pearl Lance. I eventually settle on the Pearl Lance for the speed and magic boosts.
I can't remember if these guys show up in the video. They burn really well so they only last as long as Shanon allows them to.
I know these guys didn't show up though. 2 Fire Dances killed the Extolls and one of the Bonign. The last remaining one uses 2 consecutive Thousand J attacks.
They inflict Zombie. Thankfully I chose to buy some revivifys before going up.
For being so beefy, Kow Ders don't last to Hadokens.
I save and hop back on the airship since the thread suggested giving Zepeli a second look, since he can equip a relic that changes one of his commands. Jean and Hiiro also have gimmicky relics.
The Fake Mustache gives Zepeli the same effect as if he really was Setzer and he was using his special Coin Toss relic. GP Rain damage is dependent only on Zepeli's level. So his horrible magic and vigor are not a factor.
Jean using a Dragoon BOots gets to use StepMine. So he'd be able to deal about 1000 damage right now. Compared to Chichi, Iggy, Shanon, Hato and Hiiro who can do twice that on a bad day.
Hiiro with Dragon Horn doesn't get anything cool, which I guess makes sense since it requires !Jump to be useful and only Hiiro can use it. The rest of the Floating Continent is uneventful.
I go off and kill time while killing Cid. While vanilla has earthguards and peepers being the only encounters, I get these guys.
And this guy.
And these guys from Thamasa.
In case anyone hasn't played the game before and wants to see if you follow the
These guys show up on the way to Albrook. The Bikite Ses counters Fire Dance with Megazerk. The Wiza dies after Shanon is berserked, like the game was considering if another counter was coming. Ordi... Ordi seems familiar...
Oh yeah, guess he didn't feel like abandoning his home on the Imperial Continent.
Still can turn people into Magical Girls.
A Berserked Magical Girl who gives zero fucks and pummels him even though Shanon should be restricted to Fight.
Liquidy mentioned to me that he got a Cursed Ring from somewhere between updates. I have that, and a Crystal Shield, and an Oath Veil, and a Gauntlet, and a Crystal Orb?
I hoped the Oath Veil would be a good replacement to the Mystery Veil, it gives no bonuses and a huge penalty to MEvade. NO.
These guys from Thamasa are here too, they absorb fire so not interested in dealing with them one by one.
And these guys too.
