Part 59: Go Up

Chapter Ten: Go Up

It's been a few days, so when I boot this up, his first thing is...
“I want new magicians.”

I go toward Jobs ”No, pick that one.” He points to Magic, I go and show him there are no jobs there then go to Bartz, where he points to Black Mage.

“I want him be that magician.” I pick black mage for Bartz and put him up, but he changes his mind and reselects Beastmaster for him. “I want them all be that magician.” Though this time, for once, he lets me cycle each person through most every job sprite to view them.


“I want her to be that.”
“The ranger? Okay.”
“She ranger?”
“Yep.”
“Ranger?”


“I want robot magician.” There are no robot magicians, so I go looking and, well…
“I don’t think there are any robot magicians. Uh… the ninja is grey?”
“Mmhm”


Anyway we end up with this. I quickly bird over to buy a bow for the ranger. When I tell him I am going to get a bow and arrow he asks ”A bird?” I correct him. This party is… okay. Weak on healing. Bartz is subbing summon though I swap it to White1 later. Lenna has summon too. I put Black3 on the other two.


”You have two swords?”
“Well, knives, but yes.”


”Bees.”
“Yep!”
”What they do?”
“They can make it hard for us to see! They’re also quiet bees.”
”Fightin’ bees?”


“Should we go on the sand?”
”Yeah.”
Once we start zipping around he asks/observes that we are on the sand a few times.


”What that bad guy?” he points to the Desert Killer.
“It’s a desert bug!”
”And we going to make it go away?”
“Yep. Oh… it just ran away.” (Flee! :aarg: )


”Bear!”
“What’s a bear doing here?”
He does not have an immediate answer.


I get through the shifting sands and trigger a fight in the overworld desert for reasons. Obvious ones in this screenshot.
”He has lots of heads!” He’s seen the chimera before. He had me play as one before with one hand being the dragon, the other being the goat and my head being the lion. ”He blow lots of bubbles!”


“He sure does. Now we learned bubbles too!”
”That was a hard fight?”

We hit the ruins, and start looking for the king.
”We fighting him?
“Nah.”


”Go up there.”
“Nope not there.” We hadn’t followed him enough elsewhere yet.

We catch a glimpse of him, but I don’t catch him in the shot.

”Find the king. Find him.”
“Where do you think he is?”
He points vaguely northwest.


“We found him!”


”We… fall down?"


”Get back up.”


He echoes the sentiment, then asks why he (Galuf) is over there.


”He’s back!” Oh Grandpa.


”What’s that?”
“A teleporter!” The cutscene shows the map moving. “It’s moving us.
As it gets over to Crescent he asks, “Movin’ us back there?”


”It’s shaking!” ”…Ecks-deff do that?”
“It’s breaking! It’s just old and broken.”


”They fall down?” He remembers this scene I am pretty sure.


We go through the rigamarole. When the frog pops out he wants to FIND THAT FROG. He wants to see him again. I have go over this place a little to convince him it is gone. He wants me to go back in later. It takes a bit to get out of here honestly.


”Hole!” He was right. ”Bird lookin’?”


”Boat down here?


”Fly up!” He recognizes this thing. He keeps asking. I tell him it is an airship. ”Air… ship?”


”They fall down here!” a beat and he wants me to fly up again. I tell him they are going to go down and fix it so it flies. He agrees to follow them down into the engine room.


”They in there?”
“They’re repairing the airship!”


“They’re flying!” ”Badguy up here?” I think he remembers this sequence too.


”It shaking!” He likes the shaking effect and asks after the sound effect that usually accompanies it.
“It’s a lobster bad guy! He’s on the ship!”
”Fight on ship!”
“Okay!”


”He… lobster?”
“Kind of! He sort of looks like one.”
I pop Ramuh and he asks ”He do that?” I clarify that it was our team, though ‘he’ could have meant a lot of things in that context really. ”Why he do that?” “It works very well on him.”


This party has very anemic healing so I just ignored the damage and the tail screw and hurled Thundaras and Blitz Whippings and Ramuhs.


It works.
”Magicians win?”

He has me fly around a little, and I head over to the ruins to spring the next plot bit.

”It shaking! Why it shaking? Ecks-deff do that?”
“No, it’s something else…”


”Cannon back?”
“It came out of the sand! But we have to stop for now, then we’ll fight it later.”
”Fight later.” I land and he realizes, no, wait. I want to FIGHT THIS CANNON ”No! Go back up! Fight cannon again!” The cannon really stuck with him on the first run. I mean it is a giant cannon so I get that.
“Next time!”

Next time: Giant Cannon, obviously.
