Part 6: Grinding. And more grinding. Good god, the grinding!




Chapter 5: Grinding. And more grinding. Good god, the grinding!

Alright, so let's get this show on the road. Our brave heroes defeated a group of... challenged pirates. There's much to be done, a ship to be sailed and a city of elves to visit!


So, we're still in Pravoka. I think it's time to do some shopping, we've earned plenty of gold, so it was time to put it to good use. But first...


Wow, that guy is really a pushover!


I think it's time for an armor upgrade, if I'm gonna be the tank, I'll need some protection.




I equipped everyone with GLOVES. Now that we're meeting tougher enemies, it's time to pay attention to what your party is wearing.  And remembering to actually equip this stuff is important too. 


This creature was originally called 'lizard' in the original Japanese. There was really no reason for the change, because it will certainly fit text-wise. This enrages Oyster beyond all means.

That's no iguana I've ever seen. Looks more like a purple lion with thick sunglasses.


I don't know much about geology, but somehow this landscape doesn't really seem plausible.


In the theme of silly name changes, this guy was originally the cobra. This little guy can poison you, which is not very fun for anyone. Make sure to use a PURE if that happens.


Look at these beautiful mountains.
They certainly are lovely!


Guys, I have a bad feeling about this place...


The gheist, or the ghast.
OH NO! OYST!? COME BACK TO US!


Can things get any worse, seriously!?
Just shut up and fight!


So, after quite the struggle to get back to Pravoka, our heroes decided it was best to have an adventure on the high seas. There are random encounters here too. It's useful to remember those classic elemental rules...


Did the shark jump on the boat, or are we in the water or... oh fuck it. I don't care.


Kaizoku, or Kyzoku, either way, these guys mean money at 120 a piece!


Well, holy shit, we need to find more of these suckers. My pockets are getting heavy!


Don't worry guys, I got this covered with some BLACK MAGIC!!!


OH GODDAMIT!
...must...cast...RUSE...one...more...


...time... UGH. I WILL GET THE GOLD FROM THIS BATTLE! I WILL KILL!




................


We were deep sea fishing, don't ask, just revive.


What just happened?
Ugh, my head... all those sharks...
Pitu, you brought us here, then that means... you... the sharks...
That's right, bitches.


More high seas fun, I hate those sahag things, they are a bitch to hit, and are relatively strong against spells.


Another town, just sail south of Pravoka. It's a town of elves, aptly named... Elfland... I kid you not.
This place can't be all that bad, let's go ahead and...


What the fuck!? Every goddamn TIME!


Can we just walk into a town where people are normal!? Why is it that we are the only ones that can do this shit!?


This guy sounds like that asshole who wore NIN shirts and painted his nails black in high school.


Thanks for telling us?


Actually a useful bit of information. Unfortunately that shit is expensive, and, well, we haven't capped enough Kyzoku yet.


Here Libb, have a weapon upgrade.


I guess you deserve something too Oyst.
What about me?
No.


Oh look, graves!


Bitter much? ...This guy is actually the main character from Dragon Warrior.


This ought to help keep you pathetic fools from dying.


So, here we are, staying at this overpriced inn with this drama goin' down about some lazy ass sleeping prince.

HOW can we cure him!? WHAT will we do next!? WHY does everyone but Pitu die!? THIS and MUCH MUCH MORE, next time on: Let's Play Final Fantasy with Oyster and Petoux.
