Who the hell is interesting though, Deckard? Maybe Aima sometimes?

the interactions between Marco and Seena are entertaining enough to carry the whole game.

This game seems rather good fun. Is it? I know it's nothing special as an RPG, but the idea of random dungeons and a 9-man party is quite cool.

The 9 man party system is cool, but the dungeons are boring and repetitive. Once you stop finding Ancient Text's (which is always after the first 3-4 floors) there's no point to exploring any more, it's just the same items over and over. Although fighting enemies is probably worth it, it just gets kind of old.

So anyway this update will be very large so OPEN UP WIDE AND ACCEPT WHAT I FEED YOU!

We were asking the townspeople if they knew about the pirates base.


Kids love pirates. Hey wait he was right about that good pirate. . .

Do you know him?

Yeah! Deckard the Lone Wolf! He's my hero!

You seem to know a lot about pirates.

Yeah! I even know where the bad pirates' hideout is!

Stop talking nonsense! Please, don't mind him.

But I really know!

Stop lying or you won't get dinner tonight!

Why doesn't anyone believe me. . .

Do you really know kid?

Huh? Yeah, I really know!

Okay, I believe you. Will you lead us there?

You really believe me! YAY! I'll show you!

Alright ma'am, I need ferry tickets! That kid's coming with us too.

I guess that's okay, but what he says is never true. . .

But I believe him. I'm counting on you, kid.

My name's Keit, not "kid"!

Okay, I'm counting on you Keit!

Okay so the kid turned out to know what he was talking about, let's get on the ship and see what happens!


He makes it seem like he knew all the time where it was. . .


Wait this was like right next to the mainland, what the hell!



There's nothing here!

I guess this isn't the right time. Let's wait.



Wow, an entrance!

I see. It is controlled by the tides. . .

Who would've thought of this?

I accidently found this the other day when I was playing.

Good job Keit! Let's get going!



Alright, let's go!

Bring me too!

No, it's too dangerous. Stay here and guard the ship.

Okay! Hooray! Guard the ship!

I would have fleshed out this conversation to how it really was but fuck this gigantic update.


That guy there says something about selling stuff to sailors and shit


Just in case you need items or the equipment from Tomis (since you can't go back until you finish this dungeon)


This is the best accessory for Randolph, it gives him +100 HP!


So this dungeon's motif is the same as the cave ones, no biggie. Also, all the Ancient Texts in this cave are the same as the ones in the Pirate Ship, just so you don't miss the ones from the ship.


And Goblin Mages. The Goblin mages are fast and use magic and are annoying these stupid fucking GOBLINS I hate them.


More zombies!


Headless walking suits of armor, woo. I tried to cook them into sweet armor but to no avail.


More ghosts. . .





And of course stronger pirates.


After 10 floors, we finally get to the fucking basement. Right? This is the last floor right?! GUYS?!


the two chests were a potion and an X-potion. No save point here, how lame. . .


Awesome more treasure hell yeah!


Aw damn it, those fuckers.


Dei, you of all people! Getting caught in a trap, how not ninja-like of you!



We attacked your ship, but someone else sunk it.

Either way you will never leave here. . . huh? Well, I'd hate to hurt someone so beautiful.

You have pretty good taste for a pirate.

You, come over here.

Did he fall in love with me at first sight?

What? Oh, not you, the girl behind you.

Excuse me? Are you blind?!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Shut the fuck up you fucking fuck!

I'll spare your life if you become mine.

What!?

You know I'll kill your friends if you don't comply. Now, come with me!



No. . . no! You said you will not kill them!

Did I? I don't remember! Ha ha ha ha ha! Finish them off!

Yes, sir! Pirate Boss exits with Melphis Well, let me do my job now.

Don't try anything stupid!

Don't be stupid! Do you think you stand a chance against us?!

Hehehe. We're not the ones fighting you. Look behind you!


That's a big gator.

This one hasn't eaten for a week!

You'll all be devoured! Ha ha ha ha!

Alright, fine! Eat us if you can!


This is a joke boss (on purpose, of course). It has like 500 HP, I killed it in two hits.


It even gives you piss poor exp and no gold. What an asshole.



Are you serious?

Run for your lives!

Don't you run!

Seena, we must save the princess. Let us continue on.

Y-you're right.

Okay so we're free to explore the floor. There's a teleporter here which takes us


To a dragon egg! That makes half (4/8) and the other two chests were a Miracle and a Wing Ring, which raises your spd by 25 but doesn't give any other benefits, so it's only slightly better than the jet/sonic rings, which also raise DEF.


The other two chests are a Wisdom Seed and a Wizard Ring, which is awesome and raises MAP, RES, and also max MP. Seena benefited greatly from it. There are also two GoddessTears if you search every damn box on the floor.


MORE FUCKING BASEMENTS?! FUCK THIS DUNGEON


Finally after three more floors we end up at the real bottom. The Pirate Boss is down here however there are some hidden treasures around, a Skill Seed and a Hi Potion in some barrels if you look hard enough.


He is shocked to see that we were not killed by his wimpy alligator.

Y-you're. . . still alive?!

Sorry that we are.

Princess, are you harmed?

Princess? I thought you looked familiar! So you're the princess of Alstadt?

Release her now, you fiend!

Hmph, I'm keeping her if she's a princess! A guy can't ask for more!

Enough! I will personally take care of you!

Fine, geezer!


I found it pretty funny okay


This guy is a fucking dick and a half. His buddies only run away if they're low on health, and then of course they just come right back. He uses items, attack and restorative. He can use deathpowder, Boomerangs, X-Potions, GoddessTears. . . fuck he's a big jerk. And some of the attacks such as RimFire that the Pirate Head had. Fuck this guy. Fuck him.


He give me exp I just hit A too many times okay.



You coward!

Hehe, I don't care what you call me! Don't move!

You have no where to go! Give up!

What about the teleporter behind him?

Hehe, see yah! Teleports away

Bad guys never fail to prepare a getaway.

We don't have time to be impressed! We have to go after him!

The two chests back there contained an X-Potion and a Smart Ring, which raises MP and MAP, like the Wizard ring, but moreso MP. We exit to find


What kind of a jerk beats up a kid?!

Keit!

I'm sorry. . . I couldn't stop the boss or save the Princess.

That's fine Keit. Seena!

Strong! PING He's fine now.

What a relief.

I'm glad.

I'm not glad! That asshole beat up a kid! I'm so mad, I'll never forgive him!

Okay, let's hurry and go after their ship!



Ha ha ha! No one can catch up with this ship!

P-princess!

Damn it, he's getting away!



the whole world! Nobody can catch up! Give it up and be my mistress! Ha ha ha ha!

Listen! Evil always perishes at the end! Admit your sin and beg for mercy now!

Haha, you sure are a princess! But listen, there is only you and me on this ship! Nobody can help you! Shut up and be mine!

How rude! Get your dirty hands. . .

. . . off of her now! You wicked pirate!

Who is that?!



to punish you!

Ha ha! Don't you see who I've got here?! This is the Princess of Alstadt! Move if you don't want to get hurt!

It doesn't matter what happens to me! You must beat this man!

. . . Are you sure?

I'm a woman of my word!

Alright, I won't let you die in vain!

This is where he drives his ship through the pirate ship.

He's crazy. . .

Come on, we have to save Melphis.

Is she okay?

Yes. That guy's not an idiot, he skillfully avoided Melphis.


haha she's as big as the ship!



I'm fine *cough cough*

You swallowed some seawater. Please rest for a while.

That guy's ship is coming.

Is the princess alright?

Yeah, but I'm amazed you did that. Did you know you could save her?

No. . . but her decision was for real. I had to do it!

Yeah, you're right!

BOOM

What was that?!


OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE

Hey you saved us some time by coming to us!

Can you say the same when you see this?! Squido, AWAKEN!


HE SUMMONED THE KRAKEN!

W-what's going on?!

He can call a monster like that? I guess he's not the boss of the pirates for nothing.

Fine, let's do it you big squid!

I'll help!

Nah we don't have time to link ships and

That's fine! Ha!


Oh shit Deckard jumped that, he's fucking awesome!


DECKARD IS THE BEST LOOK AT HIS FUCKING ATTACK AND SPEED JESUS FUCK HE CAN EQUIP THE FUCKING GADES EQUIPMENT, HE IS THE BEST FUCKING CHARACTER IN THE FUCKING GAME HOLY FUCKING

Seriously he gives off red SF and he's the fucking BOMB he goes in the front row, move over Randolph you fucking fragile old fart!


Aima gets the full benefit of all three red characters (there are 12 characters, 4 colors, 3 of each) and jesus Deckard is the fucking bomb. I'm not putting his profile up yet because he only joins for this battle.


Lick my nuts you Squid! Actually he's reasonably hard, he can whap you like 8 times in one turn with his tentacles, which even has a tentacle animation. He can use a water move that either hits a full row or a column. However I now have an insane attacking force, what with Deckard coming with this attack


After using Charge this does like 700-800 damage.


Having Deckard in my party pumps me up.


And then he promptly dies along with his squid.

We did it!

Now illegal weapons won't get to Alstadt!

No they won't, but it's not over yet.

You're going, Deckard?

Yeah. Evil is relentless. . . But I will go! I must go! As long as the sea keeps me moving, a warrior never rests! Ha! Exits by jumping like a fucking badass holy shit he's so cool

Who is he?

I don't think he's a bad guy, but he is too much.

I like him!

Bird of a feather, huh?

Yeah, that's it!

Pardon me, but we must let the princess rest. Could we return to port?

Yes, we must hurry.



I am fine, Randolph. I feel much better now. Thanks for your concern, I will not push myself.

Yes, Princess. . .

Marco, I'll bring Keit home.

Thanks Seena.

Something isn't right here.

What do you mean?

Is it possible that Alstadt Army started to mobilize?

M-maybe. . .

I just heard from Keit's mother. . . There's something wrong with the town.

You're right. . . everyone seems so hostile (yesss I got a line in)

What's happened?

Let's ask around. . .

Hmm, this whole continent seems to be wrought with CHAOS, don't you think? I wonder what's causing this CHAOS, huh? Find out in the next exciting update of LET'S PLAY LUFIA 3!!!! And I promise the next ones won't take me three fucking hours to do!
