Let's Play Lufia II #63 - The Prophet

[zughiaq]

Whose crazy idea was it to give boss enemies (and super beings at that) an elemental weakness?

[AxiSyn]

no I am a meat Popsicle. Awesome 5th Element quote HC :D

[KentoKaima]

lol Selan vs Erim,now THERE'S a cat fight I would like to see ^_^

[DistildaTheChosen]

Why didn't you give arty Fry? O__O

[MrYaotubo]

Watch out HC. Companys are on a strike/copyright mood it seems. Necro already lost 15+min upload.

[MrYaotubo]

@MrYaotubo Necroscope86

[Rusaarules]

You know you want to play Lufia 3.

[LPTheGabriel]

@Rusaarules

As he said in this LP: He HATES randomly generated dungeons so probably not.

[YoDragonFire]

That is the one thing I like about the DS version, The music is SO EPIC! Driving down the highway to 'The One Who Saves The Earth' is pretty intense!

[Blackdrake1]

12:21 makes me recall Topo saying, "Ha! How pathetic!" before blasting you into the electric barrier behind you with the fans if you mess up in the, "Dance or DIE!" part of Brave Fencer Musashi. It was made by Squaresoft just like the Final Fantasy games. It's an Action Adventure RPG.

[Blackdrake1]

I like how you used Palpatine's voice for when you entered the final fight with Amon.

[whattheblox]

Goddammit, when's the finale?

[FlammieLL]

YOOOUUU Buh... Buh, Buh, Buhuhuhuhuhitcho!!

[wetdesert]

Have you even used one miracle? lol

[GraysonPeddie]

@wetdesert I haven't! But I did use the tiles downstairs to restore HP/MP.

[TheZero1312]

What about this Arek? Does he appear anywhere else than in the intro?

Not even in other games? He should be in the next game if they make one.

[Tovath]

@TheZero1312 I completely agree That would be so cool. ;-)

[itachi4492]

Well, HCBailly, I was on this video for about an hour because I was too busy downloading arranged battle themes from Lufia DS in other tabs. Thanks for telling me about it!

[itachi4492]

It's been bugging me this entire time, but I finally remembered that Gades' shield reminds me of Dark Flare Knight's shield! Yes, this guy reminded me of a Yugioh card >.>

[TheMrMugiwara]

Lufia GameBoy Color!!!!!!!!

[TheShepardSaga]

Hey HCBailly, will you LP FF X anytime after the currently listed ones? What is YOUR personal problem with FF X ?

:D

[FreeFireFull]

Staaay awaaay from the summoner

[PTp1ranha]

Huh, in both the battle in this video, and the version in the first Lufia LP, Guy was the one to strike the finishing blow on Amon.

[autobotjazz1972]

Remember HC Fear is the Mind killer!

[superanimeniac]

hey HC, do you ever go back and replay games after you do an LP of them? Like, not worrying about 100%'ing it, just playing through for fun.

[HCBailly]

@superanimeniac Aside from FF4, I haven't. That is something that is a little sad about making such thorough LPs. By doing so much research, I feel that I've learned everything I can from the game, so I have no further reason to play it again. If I felt like there was something new I could discover in the game, I might play it again.

[superanimeniac]

@HCBailly dang, that really is a shame.

[theweasly]

@HCBailly Even the new versions? Like the new version of FF3 or the remakes of FF1 and FF2?

[sonofdeleniel007]

@HCBailly I have a feeling you'd like playing some of the "Elder Scrolls" games. Every time you play, you use a different playing style depending on what character you make.

I, myself have played around 5-10 times each on the 3rd and 4th installments of the game, each different styles from cheer-leading priest to total tank.

[RockBanned]

@HCBailly HCBailly, that's where low level/quirky challenges come in. Like a no materia FF7 or no Espers FF6. If you find the right challenge it can bring a totally new experience to the game.

[Flameyinyang]

@HCBailly You like FFIV a lot, do you not? Have you played the sequel? It's really good in my opinion...

[Dsilink]

@Flameyinyang

he's actually played the wii version in the past and now he's playing the psp version

[10zaq10returns]

i just realized... they called this game lufia when she has nothing to do with it yet.

[Quadunit404]

I'm listening to that arranged version of The Last Duel right now.

Holy shit, I've never heard a better final dungeon theme than that.

[NeoStele]

I know that you have mentioned this in a TON of your previous episodes, but I can't remember what the final verdict was....so please forgive me for asking this again, HC. Are you planning on playing any of the other versions of the game? Honestly, from what I've heard, you've already played the best of the Lufia series, but I am just curious.

[DemonKingAtticus]

@NeoStele I think he's said that he wouldn't play other games in the Lufia series, one reason being there aren't Sinistrals in the other games.

[NeoStele]

@DemonKingAtticus I thought that I had remembered something to that effect, but I didn't want to be presumptuous. The fact that the Sinistrals weren't in the other games are the only reason I didn't play them. It just didn't feel the same.

[pleravens]

I don't know how much time/effort/energy it takes to revive a sinestral, but if I was Erim, I would just make you fight an infinite series of Gades and Amon.

[JDJeffery]

You should do the final battle with Foomy!! =D

[lsthatadeer]

Did you reference the fifth element? i am a meat popsicle

[TheIncognitoNinja]

ow that hurt u brrrh haha

[Shawnoo7Fra]

I love it when the final episode is a significant number like 64. Its not like 67 which is meaningless.

[RogerHuxley45]

They left an unused version of Gades in the game data that is supposedly stronger. He should've been used there but for some reason and Erim has some moves she never uses. Someone made a patch to change this around, which is pretty cool.

[GoldenTalesGeek]

I thought that track was called "The Last Decisive Battle". That said, holy crap you're right. The arranged version from the soundtrack for "Curse of the Sinistrals" is spectacular. I guess that's why they call it "Crowning Music of Awesome".

I was considering making it a ringtone for my phone, but I'm still not sure whether I truly want to, since I have other great tunes for ringers. Anyway, really looking forward to seeing what happens next! Keep up the brilliant work! XD

[geno344]

''OW! That hurt you... uhh..'' LOL

[HCBailly]

@geno344 But did you get the reference?

[AllOfUsLoveSpam]

At around 9:58 your voice sounded autotuned, HC. :)

[ValisHD]

Erim looks Freaking Sexy in that armor that requires no FootWear whatsoever <3

[ValisHD]

4:38 Blood Sport Reference

[duece08]

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU FIGHT GADES. I COUNTED 5

[TheNN]

4:45 "Faith in yo mamma!"

[IamPlayerOne]

HC, you can use Ciders to raise your IP in combat I think.

[arkbuble]

hcbailly i dont know if this works in your version of the game but when you kill erim try to walk in the outer ring of the room into the space, you can do it in one of the squares.

[linkmac]

HC how come Maxim dont dual wield in Doom fortress like in the first game?

[DarkOmegaMK2]

STOP ABUSING THOSE NICE TOUCHES!!!

[psymaster330]

let me guess. yes.

[PlaythroughsCenter]

thumbs you up heh.

[medigoomnis]

Also I like how the areas in the fortress of doom in this version have slightly tinted floors corresponding to the nearby Sinistral's ball-of-light-form color...blue floor around Gades, green floor in the hall before Amon, red floor in Erim's place...I believe there's a yellow tinge to Daos's too, but I guess we'll find out :)

[PlaythroughsCenter]

Lol already played a lot Diablo 2 with the Gades' Song. :p Brings back some old memories. I have a ton of video game soundtrack in my pc. Played a lot with them.

[medigoomnis]

You know, the DS version was pretty cool in some ways but really sucked in others. However, probably my favorite little tidbit about the DS version was that, as you progressed thru this fortress, each boss had different music. Gades had regular battle music, Amon had regular boss music, Erim had Sinistral boss music (like they all do in this version), and Daos had a slightly remixed Lufia 1 boss music, AWESOME. Can't seem to find Daos's music online anywhere tho :(

[TalarisShuran]

Erim has a classic case of "Ganondorf Nose"

[SchlossRitter]

CT reference in title?

Too bad Gades's attacks are so weak by this fight despite him getting stronger. Why make us fight him over and over if it's easier and easier?

It's a Miracola!

5:39 Just realized getting hit by a confused party member doesn't give you IP.

Space background reminds me of FFMQ.

The bad thing about this game is knowing it's all moot with the Sinistrals coming back in Lufia.

[Waterwish545]

Wow, that theme is pretty awesome. Kudos for mentioning it HC.

[ViewtifulZX]

hum... i see what you did with the title

[vaendryl]

the reason IP attacks don't seem useful to you is BECAUSE you know the elemental weakness of every enemy in the game and know every bit of secret gear. play the game normally as a new player would and IP attacks suddenly are a lot nicer.

[SilentWeaponsIII]

@12:05 Maximus the Merciful!!!

[JacksonsFoodSto]

Hey HCBailly did you enjoy makeing this LP or the first Lufia more?

[HCBailly]

@JacksonsFoodSto It's closer than I thought it would be, but I'd still go with Lufia 2, if only because I didn't have to edit out random battles.

[CVRipley]

I wish there was more information egarding Arek "the absolute"

Is he the good super being they hinted to?

Or is he simply neutral?

I think he may be the god of the Sinistrals.

[pwnerinator]

I lol'd so hard when he said "for boss time!" in the emperor voice XD

[lecmg]

It's STILL not the finale? Man, this game's gonna throw us one major twist, I can just feel it now.

[Eliskor]

For FFX not being your fav. FF you sure make a lot of references to it. =P

[Aulderbane]

@Eliskor A really sucky game or movie can have some memorable lines. (Good and bad)

[clarkispotamia]

I listened to the arranged version of The Last Duel. HOLY CRAP.

[SuperPersianVersion]

Was that a Nelson laugh I heard at 7:05?

[waterlemons46]

I keep waiting to hear the word "Finale" in your outro, I've never played the game before and I'm excited about the end. :)

[Kato86]

Urgh, I hate what a pushover Gades is because they obviously used the wrong version... look at the pathetic damage he's doing! -.- Not like the others are much more dangerous, though.

Meh, I dunno about the space background... if there was some explanation to it sure but there it just seems for show. They could have just let you see the ocean underneath, imo.

[Flashflame00]

So many Final Fantasy III references in the final area. Erim looks like the Cloud of Darkness and the background looks like the world of darkness.

[TheShepardSaga]

Now that my head is pumped full with Sinistral battle theme, the way is evened for AWESOME!

[WhyN0tTh1s]

I'm gonna try the remake for the DS !

[CaptainJonjovi]

@WhyN0tTh1s You might think it's cheesy, but it really isn't such a bad game. Seeing the scenes played out in a different format is quite refreshing. Maxim's a dick, though.

[Chosenoneknuckles]

It'd be pretty darn sweet if that titbit about Erim being the 'real' leader of the Sinistrals was true. Especially since she's the only one we're seen conversing with their superior, Arek and all.

[zeroangelmk1]

Miracola. It's what adventurers crave.

[jorito1]

Also: "WOW, look at that damage!"

[thelastdestroyer3]

*British accent* "For Boss Time." XD

[jorito1]

In the last episode, you mentioned that you didn't like how the whole "legendary sword" thing was handled in JRPG. But in this game, the dual blade is actually kickass.

[ElfSponge]

Mira-cole, your refreshing miracle in a bottle. Now with more electrolytes. . . and plot twists!

[HardToFindGoodNames]

/watch?v=hFC3z4cir_A

This is the arrenged Last Duel version HC was talking about. It is quite amazing.

[itachi4492]

@HardToFindGoodNames Thank you so very much!

[jorito1]

HCBailly in the morning is SO GOOOOD!!!

[Fantasizek]

really? still no 'finale?' having never played this game, my curiousity is rising even more!

[Normansmight]

on your next lp im going to write down every time you say remember this for later and also when later comes. so i dont forget. i wonder how many times you say that an LP?

[mzak117]

What is with this story? No reveal of Erim being Iris? No Tia? Should I just keep watching?

[Ocson]

@mzak117 You should just keep watching...not saying anymore than that.

[mikesa31]

dark white what about black conme on game!

[CobraCommanderNLD]

So 1 more extended episode with the ending + AC bonus episode if someone has sent you an AC savestate?

I think they put Gades, Amon & Erim in other places than Lufia 1, because their sprites are bigger and to add more "tension" for the Daos battle I suppose.

[TheChannelofChibiX3]

HCBailly, what do you think of the remixes/ arranged versions of the music for the DS version? Do you think it's better or worse?

[7thlittleleopard]

The changing of colours through the windows reminds me of Suikoden - an awesome battle with a certain vampire...

Damn that game had great music!

[PrinceOSaiyans]

stay away from the summoner ffx reference

[Aireavix]

FINALLY

[DeadlyToxinz]

Nice vid, HC. :)
