Chapter 12: Airships, dragons, and gender changes.


Well, well, someone forgot to show you the goodies of Crescent Town last update. Here they are. It's mainly the spells here that are important. Note the steep price tag. Pitu picked up INVIS2 and SOFT... though, admittedly still RUSEs herself before anything...


Oyst picked up some LIT3 and STUN here. Stun basically stops any enemy under 300 HP, the effectiveness thereafter is random.


: I'm really not comfortable revisiting these guys. They tried to get me to drink some funny smelling Kool-Aid.


Actually, this is utter crap, according to Oyster. They don't say much else...


: Don't worry, buddy, we'll pencil you in.




: You sure it wasn't months of brainwashing?


This is the guy that gave us the canoe.


: Alright, guys, let's get this show on the road. Apparently if we throw this FLOATER at some sand, it will do something cool!
: Oh boy, can I throw it!? Can I!?


: NO, just give me the fucking thing.
: Pitu, come on, just this onc-- HEY! DAMMIT LIBB GIVE IT BACK!
: ...Hooboy, look how far I threw it!



: YOU SON OF A BITCH! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!
: Seriously, what the hell were you thinking!?
: Wait, guys, do you hear something...?

RUMBLE RUMBLE

SHHH SHHH SHHH


: WOW! I guess I threw it far enough!
:


: Yes! This is great. I'm going to drive!
: ...Eh, better check with Pitu first. Pitu? Pitu?
: Yeah. She's still in shock.


So now we go sightseeing. The airship can only land on grasslands, and sometimes destinations, like this one, are a far walk from where you land.


: Last time we went in a hole like this... oh god, Marsh Cave...


Not to worry, Oyst. It's just Bahumut's little penthouse.


: Uh, Pitu, don't you care about the treasure?
:


: Aw, look at the cute little dragons!


: Heh, wow, look at all this loot! How about it, Pitu!?
: I think she's still in shock from Libb doing something useful.


Oh god. This doesn't sound good.


You know you're in for something serious when you walk down a long corridor...


...Only to walk into an even longer hall with a bunch of candles.


: Well which one is he, for God's sake. That's what we came in here for!


: Oh.


: Ok, so I have a good feelin' about that guy. If we do what he says, maybe he'll give us something good.
: Yeah, I bet this place they were talking about has lots of TREASURE! Eh, GOLD! And... uh... ITEMS.
: ...Heh, look, guys. I can poke Pitu with this stick and she doesn't do anything.


Maybe there's a money making game in that waterfall.


: Hey, this looks like the place.


: Oops. Nevermind.


: How annoying that we have to walk.
: It would be even more annoying if Petoux kept all the screenshots from our random battles.
: Wha...? What are you talking about?
: Oh! Nothing!


: Aw, I have nothing to throw...


The walk to the Castle of Ordeals is tough, but just use a HOUSE before entering, you'll be fine.


I think at this point they just stopped trying with naming the monsters.


: I think this is the place Bahumut was talking about.


: Eh, doesn't look so bad. Let's see if that guy can help us out.


Good thing we picked up that crown waaaay back at the Marsh Cave. Also, does this guy just stand here all day waiting for someone to talk to him?


The Castle of Ordeals is a teleporting maze. You touch a colum, it could bring your forward or totally ruin your day. But it's pretty easy  especially with save states .


: Pitu, come on...
: Well, at least she still fights. Let's just keep going.


There is some major SUCK going on with the enemies here. If you go the wrong way through the teleporters... you could get stuck fighting a bunch of monsters and dying. GO THE RIGHT WAY.


:...


: Alright! Making some progress!





:...I... give... that to... me.
: I think she's starting to recover!


: Lucky we found this stick, so I can keep my dear friends alive.


: Look at all this armor we can share. Go on, Libb. Take it.
: Uh... guys... she's scaring me.
: Me too, Libb, me too...


: Wow, that sure is a lot of money. Maybe we can get you some new spells, Medi!


: With teamwork this was possi-
: Alright, let's just get the fuck out of here. She's creeping me out.


: I wonder what Bahumut's gonna give us for this!


: I wonder if he can cure Pitu of her... humanity.
: She's more tolerable like this though.


Oh boy!


Wait, did anything happen?


: Oyst, what the hell is with your hair, buddy?
: Seriously, what the fuck, dude?
: OH GOD! WHERE'S MY HAT!?

Next time on Let's Play: Final Fantasy... Will Pitu recover from her... amicable state? Will this sprite change prove worthwhile? Will someone grind for an hour just to buy a level 8 spell?
