In which one player (suspiciously) has two characters that wield whips...

[sylvan]

Hello! I'm Bea, player of Quistis (nagyka) bringing with me Rydia from Final Fantasy IV. She's from just after Cecil's coronation & wedding, but before Interlude.

Rydia is a summoner that uses Black Magic and is mostly really sweet, incredibly tolerant, and very forgiving. She is outgoing, friendly, and also has awesome hair. She'll be at 1472 with the other adopted princess-summoner, Garnet! :)

Feel free to add me on Plurk at esuna or IM me at instructor fourteen!

no we need all 20+ characters, even those with like five lines in the game total
need them badly
unless theyre old
in which case theyll even kill off an original party member like fusoya...

it's the psychedlic john lennon glasses
everyone digs 'em

instead he uses his new found courage to uh
play his harp at kain
as kain bashes his skull in
there is really no way for edward to ever be cool, sorry to say

i guess its sort of acknowledgment that edge basically takes yangs place in the party
both in his role as like the speedy light armored damage dealer and
literally taking his vacancy...
but yeah story wise there is really no connection between them
except for edge possibly hitting on ursula now and then
which should not be the basis for a band between them....... unless that's why yang is bringing up heirs.....................................

its pretty cool looking
and just conceptually the original 5 having a band called that is cool
its not like tay is really that hard though so

you did good

[nagyka]

we really need all those extra ninjas that the first time i played it on the wii i permakilled like half of them
also u don't know if fusoya is dead!!
although apparently in the novelization of tay, golbez dies 8(
LMAO A MISERABLE LIFE OF MIND CONTROL AND SLEEPING IN A CRAPPY CHAMBER AND FOREVER ALONE
then he dies a+++

i also appreciate his groucho marx costume nose
and how when he levels up basically all of his stats go down and he looks completely crestfallen. that was a good touch tbh

lmao kain i will now put you to slee--urk
i love edward he's such a loser
BUT RYDIA AND ROSA STAY BEHIND AND HELP THE HEALERS, this is why fabul was besieged you're the worst captain cecil

that's awful
let's hope that's not a thing
also lmao cecil naming her ursula god him and names he's so awful

yes i appreciate that
and yeah i had no issue beating the final boss and i was expecting it to suddenly get crazy hard because that's how ff4 rolled
but then i was left disappointed

i love praise, feel free to continue senpai u//////u

[radge]

okay i guess technically fusoya could still be alive
somewhere
out there
and yes golbez's life is pretty depressing
that's what happens when you get mind raped as like a 5 year old or something

and lol yeah... tellah... are his intellect increases worth the falling speed...
so sad...
i don't remember if fusoya's stats fall like that too
being old is hard

admittedly i don't really understand what rosa was doing during that scene too
she just stands there and watches
would it be that hard to just cast cura on edward or something
maybe you guys would have had a shot then

i'm pretty sure that's not a thing
that would be the worst thing
also where did ursula even come from its like
cute that cecil names her
but that name really just comes out of nowhere

apparently they took out the cameo bosses in the ios version but
they put in the weird lunar bosses from the extra dungeon in the gba/psp versions of ffiv
so hurray more super bosses to fight...

notices you

[nagyka]

on the moon golbez may never find
or is like just on the other side of the current moon i guess
how do tides work how does the moon work ff science is the best

if they don't i'm going to pretend they do because it's hilarious
it's the one stereotype in this game i don't mind them perpetuating

she was healing all the monks i guess
all the curas in the world can't stop edward from tripping on his own feet though
should've had him stay behind and tend to the wounded's spirits with a lovely song or two or smth

it really would be the worst thing
really really
also i think cecil has like a book of names he keeps
every time he thinks up a name he likes he just jots it down
although i think i'd have died if he'd chosen cecilia
just names everyone after his relatives who cares

also ds version just calling sheila "yang's wife" like it would've been so hard to put her name down even if they choose to never actually say it

i appreciate that edge and rydia are perfectly fine with beating up yang and ursula though
that was cute 8(
and the ios version makes it more difficult to get piercing magic idk what it's playing at other than thug lyfe
namingway isn't as cute in the psp version, i prefer ds and dumb sidequests

o-oh (blush)
primps

[radge]

who knows... who knows
i don't understand how moons just keep appearing and disappearing in their atmosphere
and that doesn't change things on their world at all

back in the day when they were creative with stats
like golbez and his goofy 2971 hp
they need to do stuff like that more

in the end edward will always be the punchline of the joke
that is his duty as the spoony bard

cecil should have suggested names with awkward capitolizations, just like his dad and uncle
UrsuLa
CeoDore

that is the best part... the gathering really is just edge and rydia's crazy adventures, along with golbez being brooding and luca just not doing anything at all
which is perfectly fine with me tbh i would play a game entirely devoted to their crazy adventures
rydia i'm totally cool with hitting yang with a frying pan but uh
you hit ursula with the ladle

struts

[sylvan]

ff4 science means everything is perfect always
at least make up some bullshit about monsters falling from the moon like ff8 did
what's gravity

lmao the more we talk about this
the more i realize how awful this entire series is

i wish in awkward tellah and anna lamenting he would have called him a spoony bard
you know about this translation japan, go with it. it's great.

that's another thing that sucks about the ds version, they didn't keep with the what the hell of that
throw an asterisk or two in there ok

edge and rydia pausing in doing shit that needs to get done so they can go find tails (you'll thank them later, gosh!)
imagining luca and golbez watching them being really into hunting for the tails
needs another spin-off, edge and rydia do dumb things unrelated to whatever ongoing plot they give the game
i want to believe that she really put her back into it, too

drinks coffee and watches
magic mike i guess

[makoeyes]

final fantasy and science just don't mix
ever

yeah tbh i totally expected him to call him that when he comes back as a ghost
like literally
every single time

and alas, that is the problem with cleaning up translations.
no more of the goofy localization mistakes...

final fantasy iv: the after after years
edge, rydia and cuore going on weird bizarre adventures
i'd play it

good choice

[sylvan]

i'm ok with this
magic wins out any day

he'd get his ass in gear a lot faster if he just did it

sigh yeah
which brings to point: lunar sss and eb are boring as hell without working designs messing with it

the not-daughter that's more intelligent and observant than the two of them put together
it's more a visual novel
teach ur daughter to act like a real person: the game

tbh i never saw it
not enough dudes that look like jarvis cocker in it

[makoeyes]

i tried playing the ios version of lunar sss and its just... weird...
it has like an entirely new translation i guess and uses the songs from the psp version
do not want

yeah cuore is edge's only hope at this point tbh
one day she'll ask rydia why mom and dad aren't together
insert awkward laughter here

i saw it like... once...
its worth seeing at least once

[nagyka]

i don't want a ghaleon that isn't voiced by john truitt
hatas gonna hate and call it nasally or whatever but it was perfect
ugh shit i'm going to end up rping him again aren't i

and then rydia just asks him why not
all this time it was that easy

"like once"
"worth"
closest icon to judging u i have i think

[makoeyes]

you should
you definitely should
like
right now

yes somehow i see that being how it works out
they just end up a couple at some point with neither of them realizing
and absolutely nothing ever changes

i'm sorry
i'll try to do better

[peroration]

you think i don't have the perfect account
but lj deleted the one i had for him so no app or icons and lazy
that being said, he needs somewhere he can have a direction
hard as hell to play without castmates
blah blah dyne blah blah crazypants blah blah long-winded dramatic speech

tbh they probably are technically in ff4ta they just don't live together
or acknowledge it or have any of the benefits of actually dating
everything is awkward forever

i hate you
ugly tears
ricky gervais laugh

[makoeyes]

i'm impressed all the same
even if that would be hard yeah...

yeah the game does sort of treat it that way... sort of
idek what's going on with them
and probably never will

mission accomplished

[sylvan]

i did it once and it was really enjoyable
just a ton of lengthy obnoxious douchebag speeches
everyone just unsures what's the haps with this dude

i think they prefer to keep it that way
i can appreciate it i guess

yeah trick's on you
you're just helping me look like i'm cool and fun and funny and popular by commenting so

[makoeyes]

yeah that sounds like ghaleon alright

purposely ambiguous
the days when final fantasy didn't base entire game plots around ships

...damn
i messed up

[sylvan]

favorite 8(
no one understands my ghaleon feelings

i still am fond of meg ryan despite that

u done good
gold star

[makoeyes]

he was pretty great
in an awful way

i can't wait to play the remake of her game soon...

and ty i did my best

[sylvan]

he's pretty gay for his not-dead best friend lbr
but i honestly wouldn't know what to do if i did have to play with a dyne
mostly because i only one-sided ship it and i think his love is really weird bullshit tumblr asexual special
u kno how it be

first game i've preordered in ages tbh
99% chance i ragequit for months after the first time i have to play blitzball

ur pretty ok

[makoeyes]

a few years ago i don't think i'd have had any idea what that means
but rp and tumblr have taught me well
i guess
or horribly
either way

i got really good at blitzball so i'm actually looking forward to that...
i like all the ff minigames except
9's card game
that was literally so bad i refuse to play the game again

[nagyka]

basically he don't know how to love 8(

wow
please come to the midwest to beat it for me
and then leave
i was p alright at tetra master
and queen of triple triad tbh
give me random, elemental, and don't have open and i will still beat the shit out of that game

[makoeyes]

poor guy

well you play the king
so i guess
that's ic

[nagyka]

it ain't a coincidence ok

asks santa for cards 8(
what has her life become
(other than incredibly hilarious)
