Lurker > WickIebee

Played a little bit more late at night and got through the Djose temple (fuck that trial was hard, the charging of the orb, the two orbs on the pedastal... had to look up how to do that temple). After that walked along the Moonflow and found the scene of poor Tidus's ignorance. I kind of get it with "final" summoning regarding Sin... And get that it's not quite perfect to understand. Walked around talking to other people around the shoopuf dock and then saved and quit there.

EDIT: Also, beat the one summoner's Ixion, unlike how I didn't beat her Ifrit earlier. Just to tell you.

Also seriously, I love Maechen's voice. Told him I didn't want to hear his story just so I could hear him say "wondrous shoopuf" twice. And now I shall finish every post with... and that, as they say, is that.

Well, it's still similar to Christianity vs Muslim. There's a bias against a specific group as stereotypes exist of "this is your typical Al Bhed." It's religious at the core, but there's no real other word for this specific kind of hate. The best there is... is Wakka is a radical Yevonite... but that's about the closest you can get.

Granted, Yevon is basically like Allah as we have radicals that act like suicide bombers known as High Summoners. /shrug

Oh yeah, further news... Yunalesca has been named. The way Seymour made it sound is she's probably one of the original Summoners. Maybe one of the first fayth after that. Just minor speculations that I won't think about that much, just she obviously was a very important summoner.

but did you find the Al Bhed Primer on the road to the Crusader thing? After you beat the Chocobo Eater

Yes, the primers that I have... one from Rikku's ship, one from a Kilika building (tavern I think), one from the ship after Kilika (captain's quarters), two from Luca (one in the other locker room hallway and one from the theatre) and two from the highlands (one you mentioned and the one given from the owner of the inn). Didn't see any in the Mushroom place but I also didn't access all of it.

In a more "progress" standpoint... AH YEAH USING SEYMOUR! Talk about nuking the boss that took me like 3/4 of an hour. Granted, pretty sure his HP was highly nerfed, but good news? OVERKILLED IT. Granted, Overkill bonus might just go to the guy who did it, since Seymour got a lot of S. Lvls. Wonder when Rikku joins... I kinda want my thief... >.> <.< Actually someone spoil me how much longer till Rikku joins so I know whether it's worth it to run Kimahri's stuff around to go get Steal.

wow you are just blastin your way through the game

what do you intend on doing here? Do you want to 100%?

Blastin' though will be just the early segments, come later bosses I'll probably slow down heavily trying to figure stuff out.

For 100%... Well I already messed that up by not getting Jecht Shot, I kinda want to finish any collectible stuff though also don't want to cheat for all those answers on the first run. We'll see if I change my mind or not.

Passed through the Highland, beat the Chocobo Eater, saw some easy Al-Bhed that I didn't try translating, got two more primers... Continued to not be used to Seymour's voice... and found Wakka's racism. Suppose in time I'll hope there's something to explain said racism, rather than just being like Crusadic Christianity and "they don't think like us, therefore they evil." But yeah, Seymour is heavily in the right. Onward to this next area... Which is still more road.

I won't ask anything optimal, of course, just want to play at times myself and see what I can do.

Never owned a Sony system, hence not playing a 3D FF up until now. It's the Steam HD Remaster.

You probably could have deciphered most of Al-bhed from your conversations with them on the ship.

fkdjsalkfjsakj AIRSHIP

Don't get too worked up. I literally meant decipher, as in, use frequency analysis, common letter combinations and phrases, obvious vowel placements, etc, to figure out the language. Not very helpful in translating speech (people speak quickly), but it can be useful on the pillars.

It's kind of fun. I can give you the lines that you missed in Al Bhed if you're interested.

I knew what you meant, I just remember that line from the first segment. I might look to try and figure it out after I start over in order to try and do some stuff I couldn't before, but not right now. I remember so far I've seen the Al-bhed language back on pillars in Besaid, on the sign at the start of the Kilika Woods, and now on this highroad with the one building. I'm not trying to translate since I believe I can eventually come back.

Oh, now I've actually met Maechen. At least I know how to pronounce that name too now. Oh, I also went back to check out the theatre, and have gotten my fifth Primer. But now back to this highroad...

Oh, is there a way to check enemies I've scanned already? Like, overall? Or do I just keep track of everything and like keep a Bestiary around if I want? Just added two more Ronso Rages, glad Scan exists so I can check for those without cheating.

I feel like making a full new post simply on Tidus, specifically because the tantrum thrown around Auron is the moment where it's actually starting to seem... warranted. I respect the choice to make Tidus the way he is. He grew up his first years wanting to idolize his father... who trashed him and then left. So then spent the next 10 years growing pissed off since gone. Because he was raised essentially without a father, you can realize that part of him maturing up... having a father figure to look up to was really missing and kept him being a little bratty. Yeah, I think pieces are him just being too much of a brat... but now we go to the thing with Auron.

We're looking at the feeling that this guy... This one guy came from 1000 years in the future if everyone's telling the truth, came back to Tidus's time basically to yank him to this future where he no longer has a home... stuck in a world he doesn't know with people he doesn't know... And yet there are things that just make him homesick. We've all had these teenager years where we didn't know we wanted something until it was gone... didn't know how much we appreciated the simplicity of our lives until everything turns to waste in front of us. There's still a few pieces of his character I'd hate if they aren't fixed... especially just having his opinion of Jecht kind of shift, like quite a bit of his grudge disappear once they visit new Zanarkand in time. Maybe some other pieces... but it's still a long game, we've got time.

Turned it on for a short bit after doing some other things and watched many cutscenes. Found what I already knew in that Jecht being connected with Sin, and then was introduced to the most important scene of FFX.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

And then also learned that now I get to start recruiting people to my Blitzball team and play occasionally by warping back to Luca...

... Did I just meet Maechen?

Well, that's also a point for these gauntlet rankings. Can't really toss out clear answered guesses as you don't want any obvious answers, so sometimes you use as misleading as a hint as you can get without completely being wrong.
---

New season, new loli gif.
http://i.imgur.com/s9rfv75.gif

It's not a misleading hint, it's "protag gets revenge" regardless of motive or anything else. Like honestly you're arguing "happens to get revenge" on the same list that has Chocolate which actually meets the same guidelines. In fact, even moreso. She's a mentally handicapped person that's beating up mobsters to collect money for her dying mother... She doesn't really have a clue what she's doing, she basically just beats someone up for some preconceived "he's bad." Though she technically gets revenge at the end for beating up the big bad after something happens Put up the plot, but avoided a major spoiler so it's safe to read.

Of all things to stump me and get me stuck... I had to look up a guide because I didn't understand how to get through the fire wall when it burnt through the door... When all I had to do was remove the Kilika Sphere. Just like computer fire walls, need to get past it? Turn it off for a few moments. Good thing I did, as I would not have found that Destruction spot and got locked into the summoner's room. Quite annoying that you can get locked into the final room.

Ah well, Ifrit obtained.

Holy crap Lulu just barraged Wakka intensely, I'm questioning if I think she's a bitch or not for it, since it ended being a pointless banter since Wakka just seems to not care regardless. I wanted to respect Wakka a bit for his older brother aspect, but the mental *coughcensored* is a bit overwhelming to how nothing can affect him.

Went up to the temple and now we see the douchebags known as the Luca team. Kay, way to sound like cocky asswipes.
---

New season, new loli gif.
http://i.imgur.com/s9rfv75.gif

The fact that I could avoid the Malboro fight makes me believe at the time we're not ready for it. Also, what's up with the supposed stat-less ness of weapons? Are they really stat-less and you just equip them for abilities or does it just never tell you stats?

Second, approximately when is the first time you get something to remove locks on Sphere Grid? And while I'm at it, S.Lvl determines move, but is it always one space or do you get to skip over anything you've already moved on?

In any case, fought the boss that I forgot the name of already, weird shell-plant. Used Valefor since couldn't use magic with the hands still up and he had magic. Plant still finished him off but took out the two hands and forced him to open up and get chunked.

Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
Seahawks want to bounce back after losing to Redskins, and it should not be hard to against Stanton's Cardinals.

New York Jets @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Fitzmagic finally broke Winston, and as per tradition, it's time for him to shine.

New Orleans Saints @ Buffalo Bills
Brees is looking good to win the NFC South, he'll need to push a good offense against the Bills who might be a little bit unsure on who to target this week.

Cleveland Browns @ Detroit Lions
It would be a very Lions thing to do to lose to the Browns, but it's a Browns thing to do to lose despite having a lot of rest advantages on their side.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Tennessee Ttians
Who am I kidding... When in doubt...

Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears
Here's the circumstance with short week (Monday-Sunday) vs coming off Bye Week that will actually go in favor of the latter, instead of lolbrowns.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Rivers plays badly against opposing secondaries, is now playing best secondary in NFL, more at 11.

Minnesota Vikings @ Washington Redskins
I'm not sold on Redskins, have to see what Vikings are gonna do coming off this bye, maybe if they start looking poor they bring in Bridgewater.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Indianapolis Colts
I've been picking against Steelers too much, expecting (oh this'll be a game they job on)... This is probably a game they job and I don't pick it... but it's time I stop picking against them.

Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Rams
Poor Texans, losing Watson was very huge.

New York Giants @ San Francisco 49ers
Giants only have to score 11+ points to beat the 49ers.

Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons
Expecting another Zeke appeal... He runs over at home defenses. And Falcons aren't worth shit right now.

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
It'll come out of Brady's pass offense, while Broncos have no offense.

Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers
Dolphins have a good attempt at upsetting Panthers, but as if Cutler is gonna care to do so.

Anyway, yeah. Met Rikku (for real, she's not just ????), and learned Tidus has something of that coma stuff. Suddenly skipped a thousand years. Poor other people in Zanarkand, they all ded. (even if any others survived, I doubt even FF randomly has thousand year old people in the wo- ... There probably is one in some FF game.
