Part 24




Hey, everyone! I'm back just once more with Fron for a few loose ends and some bonus content.

It's good to be here.

First of all, you may already know that I am a moron who made a typo in the thread title, but did you know that I am also unable to count?

Really?

If you have been paying attention, and hopefully you haven't, there are only seven playable characters in the game.

Great job!

Moving along, I want to talk about some skills I ignored in the playthrough. My only note for Fron is that Strikedead is, in fact, an insta-kill move. I wasn't sure at the time, and I never used it enough to check because it sucks.

Hey, let me talk about my own moves.

Too late, I'm afraid. You can do Tia's notes.

We wanted her to be here today, but she had some things to take care of. Let's see here... she can usually only sing three times in the length of, say, a fight before her throat gets too sore to do it any more. It's no big deal. I mean, who would use singing as a weapon much anyway?

Also, it seems that her "slow" attack makes one enemy miss a single turn. Not very good, especially with Time stop.

Tia always says "Once you know how to mess with time itself, you just can't go back."

Now, with Chitta I really only used Blaze and Shinearrow. She also has Earthquake, which damages all enemies AND allies-

I'm not losing any sleep over not seeing that one.

-and thunder, which is basically her version of Sonic Boom or Aim.

Now, Mikey uses a boomerang as his weapon.

Who's Mikey?

Never you mind. He's got three skills. Longboomer is just a regular attack with double range for a cost of 3. Superang is the same thing, but it also does twice as much damage for a cost of 8. Rangblade attacks the enemy directly three times for big damage, at a cost of 6.

You wanted me to do Marina but you actually don't have anything written here.

Exactly. Now, Marx used Critical in the fight with the sand worm, but he also has "SpinDuster."

It's the same as my WhirlSlash. It even costs the same amount of AP at 12.

Except that you only use him in the sandworm fight so it's never useful.

I think that's everyone.

Yep. I have two more items of note. First is the video of the last fight.

You were recording that?

Uh... yes. No save-reloading temporal fuckery here. I made it a bit more interesting by adding some subtitles, Concordat style, but don't expect anything too amazing.

Watch it here.

It's really just practice for my next project, where I plan on doing the usual hybrid boss fight video thing, but maybe adding a comment or two.

What's the last thing?

Well that ties in with what I was just saying. The thing I'm working on next is Crusader of Centy / Soliel for the Genesis. I don't know when I'll be starting it, but it should be fairly soon.

I kind of wish I could see what it's all about.

Who knows? Crazier things have happened on our way to this point. But you know, I just thought of something else.

Yeah?

If you guys were ever wondering what my continuity error was back in update... I think 4, check the HP values on the red screenshot and the surrounding ones.

Alright, I'm done. See you next mission, internet.

Good bye!
