Let's Play Radiant Historia #83 - Companion Cubes

[SchlossRitter]

I've already forgotten if Marie was there outside the secret passage in AH.

They keep giving equips for Eruca even though she's the only one not in the party. Spoilers much?

Yoga Flame!

Would you like a red balloon? They all float.

[elidor495]

I knew it! I knew the two timelines would come together eventually!

[mgsfan002]

I see what you did there...you purposely screwed up in a battle to show us it's difficulty...

Sneaky HC...

[BrianD0313]

I swear this has got to be the most tedious part of the game. I may take off rating points just for having to redo everything to get both secret items.

[KentoKaima]

lol I like how even Stocke doesn't want to explain what's going on to everyone,at this point even the main character's saying the whole timeline sensitivity

[ff2paladin]

If this were ported to a console, it should be as part of a collection. But with what, I do not know.

[goldenlink1001]

@hcbaily thank for doing what you do

[WillyTung]

I'm not sure exactly what it is about it, but I hate the new quality bar (the gear).

[TheInunah]

This game deserves to be ported to other consoles, so people who hate handhelds will play this game too.

[pointynives]

i beat the newest golden suns super boss 20 levels below recomended with no items.....it took 4.5 hour

[TheLazyDragoon]

I love how you still tried to open the skill menu when you got paralyzed because you couldnt comprehend the fact you messed up, i could barely comprehend it myself

[shadowrose8907]

HCBailly, there are a couple of nice steals in this dungeon that I didn't see in your walkthrough: the Satyros Finery for Aht and the Chevalier for Stocke/Raynie/Marco/Rosch. I think the Satyros Finery is stolen from the Mana Storms, and I'm not sure if the Chevalier is stolen from one of the thaumachines or the Pure Ice crystal, but they're the best armors in the game for those characters

[HCBailly]

@shadowrose8907 According to the Equipment Guide on GameFAQs, those are all rare drops, which I'm not farming for this LP. They're totally not necessary.

[Omegalucario98]

lol Stocke is level 69

[SilentWeaponsIII]

Next episode StockeMan takes on Dr. Wily's...er I mean Heiss' boss gauntlet. Heiss does kinda look a bit like Dr. Wily, except for the bigger nose. And Storm Raynie, Morph Marco and Armored Aht-adillo...eh, never mind...lol

[Redsoxboy77]

radiant historia, ff10, and ff13 have a similar theme. Someone or some poeple are trying to "fight fate". The only thing i didnt like about ten was that they completly just took the easy way out saving the summor sacrifice. with ff13 and radiant historia at least someone ends up having to face fate for the future

[SongoftheLute]

HC Bailly, have you ever played Magna Carta rpg game? I found it really hard to understand the battle mechanics of that one. I like learning about all the strengths and weaknesses of enemies in the game, it makes me appreciate it much more, I like Killbin cubes, the evil dice of FF7. Thanks for all the work you put into these LPs.

[TrueSoreThumb]

Man, HCB. While watching your videos, I definitely get a more 'episodic' feel. Other LPers feel a bit sloppy and/or not-expecting what happens.

[KuroroSama42]

Heiss clearly did not heed the warnings... he listened to the companion cubes and just look where it got him!

remember people :

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

[Raltzer]

Is that even possible for the two timelines to merge? Wouldn't that create----

Oh, forget it. Let's just get this game over with.

[ZealSeraph]

@Raltzer The timelines started out as one, and now that the effects of the black chronicle have been purged, they have been able to return to their original state, as the one true course of history.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@Raltzer Technically, this is only the standard history. The only thing that really carries over from Alternate history is the character's feelings.

[TheNN]

There's our word of the day fellow viewers, convolutions.

[TheMelnTeam]

"you're going to watch them with me"

(clicks ahead)

XD.

[Animan223]

@TheMelnTeam

You missed a great rant that way!

[MrPhoward01]

I like how they did this last part of the dungeon. Kinda reminds me of the end of megaman. The style of the end anyways

[Waterwish545]

Soul pact huh, how fitting of a name for the last pact in the game.

[virgil592]

I came for the Weighted Companion Cube, and I was not disappointed.

[HeWhoEnjoysTehVids]

those hidden items tend to be teases o ,o

[postnjam]

I have just realised how similar this is to ff9 I mean

Eruca: Princess who goes against her step mother - Dagger

stocke- blonde hair, has epic plot twist- zidane

Aht: Has horns and same age as that child summoner ,whatever her name is

rosch- the knight guy, ( I suck at remembering ff9 names) betrays kingdom

gafka- final party member , uses fists, barely talks the flaming something guy

raynie- freya

marco- vivi with a sword

[JacksonsFoodSto]

@postnjam Wow they really are similar. Nice catch

[dpbj602]

@postnjam Dagger/Garnet, Zidane, Eiko, Steiner, Amarant, Freya, Vivi. Not trolling, just letting you know :-p dpbj602/Zable_Fahr is a caring soul.

[Thetis101]

I am a little surprised that you're using Marco instead of Gafka.

[ChaosJester083]

I recently have been using Video game Plots for my essay in school mainly because writing is not my strong suit and I have been getting A's on all of them so hopefully I can use Radiant Historia on the State Exit Exam and pass with flying colors because come on dual timeline = A

[Puddimans]

@ChaosJester083 I would suggest using Planescape: torment :P Now that was a story!

[ChaosJester083]

@Puddimans Thanks for the Idea will look into it

[Animan223]

@ChaosJester083

Just be careful none of the proctors are Gamers, or you might get your ass caught for plagiarism!

[ChaosJester083]

@Animan223 As long as it's not my 9th grade math teacher I'm fine

[Flashflame00]

@ChaosJester083 Sure wish I could BS my way with a Philosophy essay like that.

[elderdragonIce]

@ChaosJester083 just hope no judges play video games and give you a zero for using the plot that you didn't think of yourself

[ChaosJester083]

@elderdragonIce Fingers crossed

[CastlePokemetroid]

@elderdragonIce I found that's rather rare to find ANYONE else who plays obscure JRPGs. Where I live, it feels like I'm the only one.

[TriaMaxwell]

@CastlePokemetroid I know. It's all these fucking combo things now. I want more turnbased RPGs.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@TriaMaxwell Personally, I feel as it's First Person Shooters that are drowning everything out.

Here, if you ask someone if they play video games, more than likely they'll answer with "Oh yeah, Call of Duty rocks!" or "Yeah, Halo!" but if I mention something even as popular as Final Fantasy, they'll be like, "Oh, that gay kid's thing? That's not a video game."

Apparently, if you're not shooting things in a first person view, you're not playing a video game.

[TriaMaxwell]

@CastlePokemetroid I miss FF, the changes SUCK. Not even really turn based anymore.... I thought I could trust DQ... But next game is going MMO I hear.

[HCBailly]

@TriaMaxwell Um, with exception to FFX, Final Fantasy hasn't been turn-based since FF3.

[TriaMaxwell]

@HCBailly True, there was the action gauge, but at least it wasn't button mashing

[ff2paladin]

@ChaosJester083 Other sources of dual timeline: Slaughterhouse Five, Zelda, LOST

[PortalFreak1996]

PERFECT PORTAL REFERENCE THERE AND IM PORTALFREAK NOW I LOVE YOU! (EVEN MORE THAN I DID BEFORE)

[TianaSidhe]

Is it just me, or did he say H-SHE-Bailly at the end...?

[ShyBoy6D9]

HCBailly: Portal mini-LP NOW!

Oh, that superboss... Gave me trouble even with HCBailly's walkthrough. It actually made me THINK a little.

[ice4ranger]

wow this room is a bith D:

i would just ignore everthing and get to the next room!

[pkshd]

HCBailey, if you have patience problems, is that why you edited out the second time you dragged those two barrels through the royal hall so we wouldn't have to hear you swearing at the game?

[ice4ranger]

11:31 sorry HcBailly,i just skip the video xD

[88Hyo]

@ice4ranger just jump to 15:12 XD

[firdauskotp]

cant wait for the battle with master Vanqueir

[iamthepkmmaster]

i just NOW notice Marco is left handed!

[BloodfelX]

'As we all know, HCBailly has patience problems...' another thing to add to the list of effects of the Bailly curse?

[Yuizele]

@BloodfelX still good tradeoff for living forever :D

[OnyonKnight]

@BloodfelX They have yellow teeth.

[JanusHoW]

Next time: SUPERBOSS TIME.

[RyokuSensei]

O.o whoa i am one of the first viewers? epic and this game is alot longer than i thought lol. @HCBailly about how many hours long is the game from start to finish?

[TuxedoRay]

@RyokuSensei U can probably do it all in under 30 h. (not counting cutscenes) following his lp or a faq. finding stuff w no help obviously longer. :)

[OnyonKnight]

@RyokuSensei Knowing where everything is, it took me about just under 40 hours.

[Cosmikaze]

@RyokuSensei I used 40 hours and 37 minuttes by doing it this way: Clear the story with no guide whatsoever, after i cleared the story i used a guide to find the last 10 sidequest i had missed + the last pacts, orbs etc (i missed 4 of the powerup items total i think), defeated secret boss, then defeated the last boss agian to get perfect game. Im not sure how much time i could cut off by using a guide all the way, but honestly i dont think it would be more than a couple of hours

[Chris6570]

Sleep damn you! >:O
