Part 1: Naked. Burned. Fountains




Chapter 1: Naked. Burned. Fountains


THE BEGINNING
Nobuo Uematsu, the sole FF composer until X when he left to do freelance work and create his own record label, composed the Prelude, one of two things to appear in every FF game, in about 5 minutes.


Compelling story. Also the basis of half of the later FFs.


This is the party. No we are not doing four white mages, this is Petoux's first time through the game and she wants something forgiving.


The heroes, after a LONG journey, are dumped in front of the town of Corneria.

[
Naked. At level 1. Some long journey.
Pitu: Goddammit Oyst, what the fuck is wrong with you. I told you gasoline and goblins don't mix, now our clothes are burned. Now I have to spend time getting new clothes before I hit the goddamn bar! Libb, I'm hiding behind you until we get clothes.




Changing of the order. Interesting note: Running is supposed to based solely on luck, however it is in truth based on luck and the status condition of the character two spots below. Any character with over 15 luck can flee 100% of the time if the character two below is not affected by any status ailments. If one of the last two characters is trying to flee the integer is random. Since thieves have the highest luck, Libb gets to head us up and Oyst gets to pray to god he doesn't die.


Pitu: Sweet, dirt gone!
Medi: WATER! DELICIOUS!
EVERY GODDAMN FOUNTAIN IN THE GAME SAYS THIS


Pitu: ClOTHES. NOW.


Medi: Yo Libb, you're a handsome looking thief. Do the bargaining, and score me some wooden armor.
Pitu: GET ME SOME FUCKING CLOTH.
Oyst: what she said.
Libb: Fuck you guys, wooden for me, you guys get some if there's money left, bitches.


They could afford it.
Pitu: Hammer. Now. Next time Oyst pulls that kind of shit I need something blunt and heavy to smack him with.


Libb: Let me guess. I'm buying for everyone.
Pitu: You're the thief. HAMMER. NOW.


Everyone else picked up stabbing objects as well. Oyst's flaming antics wouldn't go far like this.


This is a screenshot. You may think there was something to it, but in fact is just an ordinary screenshot. Again EVERY FUCKING WELL SAYS THIS.
Libb: What are we doing with wells. Time to steal me some women!


Libb: Do I get a reward? No? Well, maybe she'll think of one.
Oyst: Yo dude, you want to rescue the princess? I need some firepower. Unless you want me to use gasoline again.
Pitu: MAGIC. NOW. AND FUCKING CURE THIS TIME.


Oyst: Thanks for the fire. Much more fun throwing fireballs instead of pouring them.


Pitu: And thank you for that.
Medi: What about me? Can I get both?
Libb: Sorry bud, I haven't stolen enough. We get to go kill monsters so I can steal off more dead corpses.
Oyst: I swear being a thief doesn't help you do that....anyway, hit the castle. I want to know more about this chick we're supposedly saving.


Libb: One of these days, Pitu, you're going to let me steal shit from one of these places....
Pitu: PETOUX SMASH!
Libb: okay, okay.....


Libb: Now this I could get behind. Let's find the key sometime, kay?
Pitu: Shut up and lets do whatever the fuck we're supposed to.


Nice lock job there.


Libb: So we beat up this guy and take the princess? Cool. We won't return her right away.
Pitu: SHUT THE FUCK UP LIBB YES WE ARE. MONEY. NOW.


Imps. Original name: Goblins.
8 hp. 6 exp. 6 gold. 4-8 damage. weak to none, strong to none.



Oyst: NEW TOYS WHEEEEEEEE!


Oyst: Take that suckers. I get the fun.


Pitu: GOLD! PUB GO!
Oyst: Shit. no more fire fun.


Next time: Grinding, finding a reason to, treasure raiding, and famous lines.
