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!

Rydia /o/ I really loved IV back in the day so this is exciting

I also feel obligated to point out that when this guy finds out two sweet, pretty, sort of princesses ended up living with his less that pleasant castmate he may take it upon himself to try and protect them or something just saying :T

[sylvan]

High fantasy tropes: the game! Except they weren't tropes back then sob...

But yeah, I haven't gotten to messaging the other housemate and I'm not really familiar with the canon (beyond Quistis's CR with Michael aww yiss), but I am down with this.

Just make it kawaii.

[alioth]

That's what made them so much better ono

Ah yes I don't want to give too much away but lets just say most of the cast has strong feelings about him >> and I don't know if I can promise kawaii but he does come replete with bouquets of roses and really awful pick up lines?

[nagyka]

If I didn't wear nostalgiagoggles I feel like I'd probably find it boring, whoops?

HA.........HA......... AWESOME
LUCKY ME
Also I guess it depends on if he's also doing those things for other girls, especially in her presence.
Because you don't want to be the new Edge, you really don't (yes you do).

[jyajyaaan]

Ahem! Does he have to get a shotgun to protect his daughters' honor, young man?

also what are you saying, his reputation and record are completely flawless. It's not his fault they think he's some crazy named Vector. =|

[makoeyes]

you already know how much i support this decision but

yes

good

[tilleul]

i can't wait to explain her adopted parents icly

oh yeah dad's a giant sea serpent and he swallowed me and brought me to live with him
mom's just a normal lady
with three heads and six arms

you know how it is

[nagyka]

LMAO OH MY GOD

this is going to be an amazing house, i can already tell

[ressentir]

Ahhhh Rydia the best ever!

Now someone has to bring in a dumb ninja.

[sylvan]

I AGREE! She and Faris are my favorite FF characters (blush)

Or SEVENTEEN YEARS ON A MOUNTAIN DRAGOON (oh is my shipper showing?), but honestly I will take any loser castmate.

If I had to choose one, though, it would be Palom. He is the mage Holly Heights deserves.

[ressentir]

Agh I haven't played 4 or 5 in forever. Childhood memories.. so fleeting...

I used to play Cecil once upon a time, but yeah, it's been years since I replayed. And that icon gives no indication of shipping things at all, absolutely not.

Pal...om....... Iiii've never played the After Years, but doesn't he become extra stupid?

[sylvan]

I know, right? Although I've replayed them a few years ago (4 is a frequent replay, though!). I want to get a tablet to get the IOS port of 5 and the new graphics version of TAY...

Oh c: HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS, I only ask because I haven't played Rydia for a while and I used to have a monopoly on all the good Cecils heh. Or, maybe not. I don't know. I probably missed some. That being said, I ship basically everything in 4 and I don't think I can be blamed for it.

Yes, he indeedy does. Although I'd want the six year old little turd. Preferably with Porom so someone can thwack him!

[ressentir]

I last replayed 4 right when the DS version came out (AND GAVE ME ALL THE FEELS, MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS HAVE VOICES NOW). Those all sound like good plans, make them happen.

Uhhh let's see, it's 2013 so... about 4 years ago? And it was only for a few months. I don't recall if I ever played with a Rydia at all so it probably wasn't me, I don't even remember what usernames I used back in the dark ages then.

As long as their house plays the Mysidia music nonstop then this is allowed.

[sylvan]

UGH that's a good choice because the DS one is just. I know some neckbeards will complain but whatever, I love the in-game renders and Rydia's weird wavy hair (forever canon, no one can stop me). I like Kain's Batman voice the best.

Sheet, man. We might have been strangers in the night, then. That was about the time I started to (sometimes) play on LJ instead of forums and junk. Although I can't remember usernames, either. I think I had evokingly for FF4TA Rydia just after it came out, but that's it. I had some pirate puns for Faris but I can't remember jack...

Of course. Just loud enough so the neighbors can hear.

[jyajyaaan]

He'll try to be a good dad, I promise! o7

it's going to go terrible xD Why Alit out of all people, daughtersssssss T^T




....he might really try to get a shotgun just for them >_> Jsyk.

[sylvan]

alkgjdag why can't they just be friends... why can't they just be normal...

and she can take care of herself, promise.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO SOMETHING or just handwave? i can holla at corey about it, too, since i have her added?

[makoeyes]

my closest childhood friend

is this giant naked guy in a loin cloth that causes earthquakes when he stomps on the ground too hard

rydia your life is so weird

[sylvan]

my current best friend is a marshmallow with a face and bow tie
sometimes it dresses like my friends?

don't judge
chocobo butt

[makoeyes]

oh does she have whyt... so she's exclusively the ds version of rydia then, huh

it's okay he has no right to judge anyone
i don't think anyone has quite approached cloud's issues in this series yet

[sylvan]

no he'd have to be a reclaim
and i generally include all the versions mentally, for the most part?
though with her i think dialogue was better in the ds version
for like, kain i think he was better off in gba/psp. got a little of his black humor and sarcasm in those. cecil was a bit more well-rounded, too. in general i feel the ds version has better dialogue that feels more natural, i guess?

but also whyt is cute as hell and i like the floofy hair. what can i say? i'm shallow.

no he doesn't
well, they are pretty vast and wide
much like the grand canyon

[makoeyes]

that makes sense...
but yes whyt should be her first summon regain anyway
and she can play weird minigames with her housemates to strengthen him up for some reason

cosmo canyon can't hold all of cloud's issues

[sylvan]

i always make sense (except when i don't)
chocobo comes next because why would she choose anything useful?
the reason is it keeps making cute noises at them and you can't resist it.

oh snap!!
he got told. meta told.

wow, we're like. super charming, huh?

[makoeyes]

that is definitely a true statement
as much as i love my mega flares, bahamut is definitely not cute
though come on when he turns around and blasts a maenad is like the best part of tay

now he'll get even more sad and brooding...

the charming-est.

[sylvan]

i'm p flattered
haha, oh man. somehow it was the one thing that was enhanced by being a sprite.
i was losing that battle pretty hard tbh

don't forget how he's alone and like the only person talking to him is seifer almasy, god. he lives a super thug lyfe.

pretty much, yeah.

[makoeyes]

i haven't gotten to that scene yet in the ios version
but i'm looking forward to it
so very very much

...wow that is depressing
