Ooo, soft...

came here to post this

whoops, Choco inhaled hallucinogenic smoke

---

P sure if you had a bird's beak do all this, it wouldn't grow stronger

---

This game has a high rate of people coincidentally being where you are

---

digging in chocobo forest is way more enjoyable than the lagoon imho

---

I'm giving myself carpal tunnel with this s***

---

well I'd rather do this than have them mate, anyway

---

Caught 92 frogs. I forget how many I need to fight Quale, but I probably don't have the patience to find out.

---

You feel happier...

---

I forgot about the foam below Vivi's house. Iirc I thought the game was referring to the mist. Will have to check it out once I get a chocobo that can walk on it.

---

if only Ipsen knew how important his finding was

---

Ribbon in this game kinda sux

---

Nice that gil doesn't max out at 99999

---

'dead pepper' wtf

---

This game tries to make you anticipate a chocobo being administered knock-out gas

Wtf

---

Kinda feel like this game mocks previous FF moreso than pays tribute to them tbqh

Only cause it knows it's the best.
---

At what tho'

Outside of humor (which isn't the reason I play FF but that's kool) I think soundtrack is its strongest point, and even then I prefer 6-8 at that.

---

sleeping gas sure gets mentioned in this game a lot

---

i'm kinda just finishing it for the sake of finishing it at this point tbqh, doing side stuff ****ed up the flow for me

---

Quale is ****ing strong for a weirdo who hangs out in a swamp

Is Shrek not strong?
---

that led me to think of donkey which led me to think of talking animals which led me to think of Quina's wonderment when he sees a talking frog (Cid) which is probably the most amusing moment of Quina's in the entire game

---

i'm gonna cheat for the treasures that lack chocographs, eheh heh heh

---

was it ever resolved if Terra is supposed to be the world from the original Final Fantasy

---

trying to figure if my Switch being at around 90% instead of 100% will make much of a diff if I want to play for a few hours at the local cafe establishment

i mean i could just bring my charger with me, but why be logical

---

Next time I run the game, I won't forget the mystery of mognet, or the secret speedrun weapon
---

O wow I forgot, I still need to do the former

---

Never would have gotten chocograph 18 without cheating tbqh

---

would have been nice if dead peppers were calling havechocoeattheseoverblackdotspeppers

---

If you're far enough into the game, it's too late for mognet. It's not too late for this one sidequest that no one knew about for like 13 years tho.

---

That sounds fantastically pointless

Not that far yet tho

---

I'm going to start a buffalo wings restaurant called chocobo hot and cold

---

i think I almost accidentally fought ozma just now l0l

---

ragna ****ing rock

---

I found the place all good chocobos go when they die.

---

Welp, I think I'm finally ready to go do the acid trip nonsense.

---

Eh I think I'll blow through a bunch of cash at the auction first

---

Hey, I was wanting to suggest that but I didn't wanna backseat.
---

Well it's either that or give a bunch of minimedals to the mini medal king

I never did complete all the medals for any game.

i was about to say that's impossible, you're nowhere near him yet, he only appears in Memoria.
i was thinking of Hades
---

Ohhhh yeah that reminds me of something

I don't remember the rationale but I remember hearing Hades was considered for final boss instead of arbitrary giant crystal

Probably had something to do with the whole "journey of souls" thing that was supposed to be going on between Terra and Gaia that underwent various revisions during development.

Basically you messed with the natural order that kept both worlds stuck in a stagnant, parasitic relationship with each other and that makes Hades mad, but you bring him around to your alternative plan that allows both worlds to flourish when you beat him up and then point out that two worlds creating life is better for his business than having only one world prosper at a time.

Or something like that.

I can't take the chocobo song any longer

---

should've used the advice of a certain other game and used parachutes, Zidane

assuming they've been invented

---

RIP FF9 party, DMT overdose

---

the Terra theme is really pretty

not quite as good as Terra's theme from FF6, but not much is

---

It reminds me of Mitsuda's Chrono Cross work a bit
