A quick question. I thought FF6 is about a secret plot by a dictatorship to gain control of mankind by getting rid of magic...

So what does "Ultros" has anything to do with the plot?

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

[Servant Corps]

...But...but...

Isn't FF known for its stories?

It's also known for it's Giant Space Fleas.

[Boksi]

He does impact the story somewhat. Such as the Opera part... Basically, he introduces a little chaos into the system of the story. But mostly, Ultros is there for the comedic relief. Too bad you can't see most of his quotes in chaoticjosh's style of reporting. Some are actually witty.

[Aqizzar]

As long as we're linking to TVTropes, Final Fantasies also love their weird sideshow bosses.  In FFVI, it's basically just Ultros and Ziegfried, who occasionally talk about each other.  I suspect there was a larger plot in mind when some of the game was written.

I vote taking the raft scenario first.

There is a small patch of forest south of Figaro's desert. In that forest is a chocobo stable. I've heard that Banon has no sprite for riding a chocobo as the party leader, and gets a strange graphical glitch, but I've never seen a screenshot, and never remember to get it while I'm there. Please help me with my problem.

I'd also like to try to claim Gogo, renamed to Banon please. Eh, I don't need him.

I'd like to claim Mog. I don't remember seeing him claimed yet.

[Ultimuh]

Nevermind this post, I missunderstood something.

Welcome back to Let's Play Umihara Kawase! I know you expected FFVI, but I'm a bit tired and so I'll take a break and do a mini LP of this game, which is short and sweet.

This is an awesome game and it deserves your attention by the way.



This wire flinging game was revolutionary when it was made in 1994 and still is to this day IMHO!

This game is notorious for being "hard to play, but easy to win." and rightly so.



This is our nameless female protagonist, she is trapped in a world of horrible mutant fish that want to kill her. Fortunately, she has a bag of holding and a secret weapon!

Our actions are limited, we can move, and jump...



and this is our grappling hook. It stretches and bends, and can be used to fling us upwards and sideways and do all sorts of neat stuff. It's going to be our main (and only) weapon and means of transportation.

Let's continue.



This the first enemy of the game, it's a goldfish. Pretty all the enemies are fish-themed. Grapple them to stun them, and reel them into you to kill them.



This is the exit to the level, it will lead us to the next level.




Uh-oh, that's a conveyer belt, and normally, we would ride up alongside it to complete the level. Fortunately for me, I know a faster, more awesome way.

Gonna Tarzan my way under the whole stage.



HELLS YEAH!



Another level down!



This level's pretty tricky, because the further along you get in the game, the more the crazy random monster spawninator aims to kill your ass.

I know a nifty shortcut though.



Hur Hur Hur...



Now, whatever shall I do here?



Too easy folks! Sorry if I'm not giving you the most optimum grappling hook action, but taking screenshots is hard when the controls mandate that you have both hands occupied when manipulating your character, death is fast and quick otherwise.

The next level is so bland it can be ignored completely, so let's jump straight into the boss fight!



The name of the game is attrition, and I gotta stare down this giant tadpole as he hops his fat ass around the level 5 times.

Make your move you punk tadpole!



Runaway!

Aww man, he's gonna run straight across the stage! One hit kills me! How will I survive?



Huzzah! The fatty stops at the ledge, so swinging underneath the stage allows me to avoid him.

I can't stay underneath here though, cause he's gonna give birth to fully formed frogs, which will home in on me and try to knock me into the briny deep!



See what I mean?

You can handle them like regular monsters.

They swarm your ass though.

After 5 rounds of him walking back and forth, and each time sending increasingly larger numbers of frogs after me...



The tadpole gives up and commits suicide by jumping into the local bottomless pit. I'm fighting frickin' depressed, defeatist tadpoles here!

Next time on Joshua's FFVI LP: I'm choosing for real this time!

[Servant Corps]

How about complete that mini-LP of Umihara Kawase? I mean, if it is easy to beat, then why not beat it and be the second person to finish an LP on this forum.

[Aqizzar]

How about NO and you go back to playing FFVI?  I can't even tell what's happening in those screenshots.

[Creamcorn]

Damn you inaluct for taking a good character!

Pfft, I'll guess I shall take the best magic user in the game, Realm. Who was a bitch at leveling up in the game even with two exp eggs.

Use glitchtastic paint ability for unlimited Atma Weapons!

[inaluct]

Just downloaded that rope-swinging game. It's awesome.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm choosing this time, just like I said!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

NOT! Today we're playing Disney's Aladdin!



DOUBLE NOT! I'm really choosing.



With these guys, we're continuing down the river.



Made it out of the river and we're safely deposited on shore.



Before we go into Narsh however, I want to do something one of you guys told me to do.



One tile above me is the location of the hidden chocobo ranch.

Let's switch to Banon while we're at it.



Alright, let's check this out!



First, there's a more well known graphical glitch concerning the chocobo's where you clip over their heads.



But let's check out the main attraction!



Yikes! That's some graphical glitchiness if I ever saw it.



Let's go into Narshe now.



"Cause, you know, we didn't appreciate you blasting fucking lasers into our faces."

*KICK IN THE FACE*



"Take that old man!"



Myroc: Aw man! Now we'll have to find another way into Narshe.
Oknido: Actually, no we don't, these guys are seriously fucking weak. Just let me blast them with some fucking fire and we can stroll right in.
Myroc: I SAID WE'RE FINDING ANOTHER WAY IN!

Fortunately for us...



We have another way in!



This place is very disappointing, still have to fight disgruntled repo men and blobs that aren't even worth mentioning. Sorta odd, repo men just attacking random cave dwellers, maybe I have some long overdue debt that the characters aren't telling me about, and the repo men are just trying to collect?



Hmm? What's this?



Gotta follow the light, eh? This is some sort of security system eh? I see, how come this didn't pop up in way back when I was fighting Mammoths and blizzard-blowing marshals? EXPLAIN IT TO ME BANON!

Banon is tightlipped as always, so we continue.



Memory games are my forte', so I complete it in the first shot.



The rest of the hike is negligible, we make it back to What's-his-face's house without event.

Next time on Joshua's FFVI LP: Who next to choose?

[Okenido]

Why couldn't I set them on fire?

[JoshuaFH]

Because of that cliche in games where the game mechanics and the story are segregated.

If only there were a website that explained concepts like these, but sadly, there is none.

NONE I SAY! THERE IS NO WEBSITE THAT LIKE THAT! I WILL DESTROY ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE!
