Let's Play Radiant Historia #79 - Grimoire Heiss

[XSaebaYRyoZ]

Heiss, you dumbass! xD

Nice NieR reference here!

Awesome game!

You who read this, go buy it, NOW!

[mgsfan002]

0:30 Big Macintosh reference. It's official. Bailly's a brony.

[ThePancakesGuy]

11:09 I think FF6 did the same thing at the end with Kefka lasering the world and whatnot.

[ryanphoenix]

HC Bailly, don't know if you realize this or not, but episode #78 is the last one that is in the playlist for this LP. So, this video and the ones after it aren't in the playlist. Just giving you a heads up. :)

[pious83]

11:15 Vagrant Story, FF7, Eternal Darkness?

[pious83]

11:15 Vagrant Story, FF7, Eternal Darkness?

[FlammieLL]

3:03 That's Heavy DOC!!!

[ghitarnuub]

Ritual needs a Sacrifice. Heiss wants to stop the ritual to save him. Stocke is the sacrifice. Heiss cares about him (or it looks like he does), Aht says they share the same "..." (I'd go for "blood"), so they're somehow related, I guess? Father-son? Heiss' age doesn't help, he could have grown that old by abusing the chronicle. And there's Ernst, Eruca's brother, who looks just like Stocke according to her. I'm pretty sure Stocke and Heiss are Granorg royalty. Can't figure who Heiss is though.

[someddrnoob]

I cannot wait for the Imperial Ruins!

[Sandro234]

HCBailly, now you've gotten me wishing for a NieR Let's Play.

[RiiidgeRaacer]

Oh I see what you did there with that title.

[KentoKaima]

lol Im sure that description would be true if this game was made by disney,I would rather have a ridiculous bad ending than an overly cheesy one,there are a few lovey dovey happy endings I actually

[Caenogenesis]

Okay Im paused at 10:42 and with no prior knowledge of the ending of the game Im going to say that Heiss is future Stocke.

[neji100]

BEST VIDEO DESCRIPTION EVER

[caterpieofdoom]

11:13 Takes of many game locations as the world is about to get screwed... It must remind you of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

[ZeroOmega5]

HCBaily what dose the buff Qi Charge do since Bergous used it at the begining of that Gafka fight and i wasn't sure what it did since when i fought him to get that same ability i was able to just use 2 musos on him and kill him and i don't think i was a higher lvl then you where.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@ZeroOmega5 Increases defense.

[cobaltscarf]

so this is one of those game where no matter whether or not you get involved your screwed

[Skavoc]

@cobaltscarf You mean a JRPG?

[cobaltscarf]

@Skavoc i guess. i didnt really think about it

[rsguardian81]

Hey HCBailey have you ever played a game by the name of "Nier"?

[snooffun]

Wouldn't taking the unpowered Historica sword back to the past where the powred one existed result in TWO of the same sword? It's a time paradox....

[CastlePokemetroid]

@snooffun Kinda like how Stocke took Rosch's gauntlet to fix Rosch's gauntlet, and in the other timeline, from Rosch's gauntlet being fixed, Stocke and Rosch never fought so Stocke never got Rosch's gauntlet to fix Rosch's gauntlet?

[TheValiantBob]

Protea probably didn't let Eruca do the ritual because Protea had the etherion and she wanted to keep it for herself as a pretty gem.

[bdude1234567890]

Queen it up? or CLEAN it up, am i right? lol...no...no...

ok then

[arandomviewer]

Two things.

1) I like the title for this episode. That game needs to be referenced more often

2) I think the reason Eruca couldn't do the ritual before is because Protea was using the Etherion as a jewel or something IIRC.

[JeffroTheMan1]

Honestly, while I am excited to see the ending and all, I'm a bit disappointed. I prefer the bad guys to have the upper hand when you go for the final battle- makes an ending so much more epic, IMO. The alternative is that it feels like the bad guys are throwing a pathetic, anti-climactic last-ditch effort. Look at FFIX, Kuja was on the brink of destroying all existence before you went and fought him. Here it feels like 'Meh, Heiss is around. Go kill him.'

[CastlePokemetroid]

@JeffroTheMan1 Technically, Heiss always had the upper hand, from the very beginning. It's just that he's not as competent as Stocke is, and kept screwing up, until this point where he's being slowly pushed into a corner.

[JeffroTheMan1]

@CastlePokemetroid Sure, but slowly pushing the villain into a corner takes away the sense of urgency a final battle should have, in my opinion. If he had stolen the Etherion much earlier in the game, and say, was about to destroy it for good, it might be different. As is, it feels more like an interactive epilogue. All the details of the 'big reveal' being pretty obvious doesn't help, either.

This is me nitpicking at the game, mind, I've thoroughly enjoyed it and the LP.

[1andonlyWojjan]

11:10 Final Fantasy 6, when the world of balance becomes the world of ruin?

[EpickPhailureCinema]

Video description made me laugh =)

[1andonlyWojjan]

Radiant Historia just did something that I think is unique in any RPG game ever: the princess ACTUALLY BECOMES A QUEEN. Eruca gets her shit together!

[JeffroTheMan1]

@1andonlyWojjan Final Fantasy IX.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@1andonlyWojjan Uh, that's still rather generic in a JRPG.

[AirPirateCid]

Looks like Heiss is trying to use the Spirit Bomb attack. Aww man.

[sonic14000]

"But who is the holder of the black chronicle? Fine out next time!(or the time after that) On LP Historia!!" The was so funny. XD

[TrueSoreThumb]

Gotta comment again. One of my favorite parts of the game is coming up, and it involves a race back in time. SUCH brilliance from the writers. Maybe might not work that way, but..

[TrueSoreThumb]

15:22 "But who is the wielder of the Black Chronicle!? ALL SHALL be revealed, NEXT TIME!

OR The time after that, on ..."

Lol. Worst part is that I totally want the story as fast as possible, at this point. The plot's coming to a head!

[SephirothsAwakening]

I thought Bergas didn't die because he cast a defensive technique at the start of the battle.

[Waterwish545]

They're going to pull that twist aren't they... That dreaded twist. Still, I love this game.

[maninthemachine]

Nier reference in the title yay

[TheSclog]

Best description ever. Outré was classy too. The game is getting close to and end! It's so exciting!

[chapacoka]

I love the description of this video. "over and over again." LOL

[Tobezlek]

is stocke heiss?

[CastlePokemetroid]

@Tobezlek Find out next time (or the time after that)!

[Cosmikaze]

@HCBailly title a refference to Fairy Tail, or am i mistaken?

[EmanuelHoogeveen]

@Cosmikaze It would be a reference to Nier, another game by Square Enix. In the comments to a previous video, someone stubbornly referred to Heiss as Weiss - Grimoire Weiss that is (incidentally, Grimoire Weiss is essentially a different way of saying White Chronicle ... but I don't know if there's any relation).

[TuxedoRay]

@Cosmikaze He was probably referring to the game Nier. But yeah its closer to G Heart from FT. Good 1. :)

[BloodfelX]

Hahaha, if this where I think it's going, Heiss is Stocke's...and Heiss is Eruca's...so Stocke is...DERP. My brain = Dead.

[EmanuelHoogeveen]

@BloodfelX Okay, so Stocke is Ernst - that much should be obvious by now. But the rest of it, and how it all works out - just wait and see :) I like how they explain it.

[mikesa31]

tooty fruity?

top secret has a song called that in it

[OtherRealmer]

Next time!... or the time after that.

[Venominous]

"Grimoire Heiss". I admit, I chuckled at that more than I probably should have.

Still no thoughts on returning to NIER, HCBailly? I thought it was such a fantastic game. The soundtrack alone is simply amazing.

[ZealSeraph]

It's already come to this. Kinda sad that it's almost over already. Now I just have to prepare myself for one of the best songs on the soundtrack of this game.

[ValisHD]

Next TIME or the time after that.LOL!

[ssbmfreak36]

Radiant Historia, oh RH, why must you not tell us ANYTHING until it is ABSOLUTELY pivoltal to the plot? Oh, right. It's a jRPG. That's why. Still a damn good one though. Speaking of jRPG's, HC, you ever play Dragon Quest 8 for the PS2?

[SilentWeaponsIII]

Late night episode, HC must have used a Dreamsee Herb from his other LP.

[Gaveir543]

When the screen shakes all i can think is "man that camera man is shaky as heck!"

[TrueHitoare]

I guessed Heiss had the Black Chronicle pretty early in the game, but I never suspected THAT twist!

Also, is Hugo still on fire if you go back down to where you fought him? They ought to use infinitely-burning-Hugo as a new power source or something.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@TrueHitoare I think that only the corpse of Fennel is down there.

[YoutheUnknownSoldier]

I did not know you watched Seinfeld. I approve of your taste in SitComs.

[keyblademaster47]

Nice Neir reference HC

[n123581321]

Dang, I like your ending better, HCbailey

[indignation01]

wow @ video description xD

[zuzufan09]

00:30 Big Macintosh.

[Shadow9808]

But the game has only added a final chapter to the alternate history. We hit a road block in the original history before in it's chapte 6... I suspect we have ANOTHER final chapter to do, and then a final, FINAL chapter where both time lines merge, much as they split at the original node. Because as we all know, you can't divide time without remerging at some point.

[CastlePokemetroid]

@Shadow9808 We'll find out like in the next episode (or the one after that), so I'll just tell you that standard history's final chapter is the final chapter.

Technically, the timelines don't ever merge, but the feelings of the characters are combined into one.

[HolyWtfftw]

I frecking knew Heiss would do stuff like this

[MasterAsra]

Even though it was a mistake HCBailly, to your viewers it's like a tiny bonus. I just wonder if you'll only post your Seiken Denetsu 3 game tomorrow~?

[shadowrose8907]

@MasterAsra "Tiny" bonus, you say?

[parnash]

Heiss is up to killing everyone, it seems.

[21526001270528]

@HCBailly do you plan on doing goledn sun? its one of my favs but it flips out on ROMs and i would like to see how you do the game

[TheInunah]

I know the title references something but I can't remember what...

[toaker]

Did you use the White Chronicle to post this episode today insted of tommorow HC?

[aceshigher]

Nice title reference HC, I was beginning to think I was the only person that had played Nier

[TheFunkyTonic]

Wow HCBaily, nice little present! Even if it was a mistake I'm not giving it back!

[finaleJ]

@HCBailly that guy used Qi Charge which I guess increased his defense so that's why he didn't die in the first round.

[coreymartin261]

how many side quests did Heiss have to do for that spell?

[ZergofImportance]

Why ask when it appears it's spoiled in the title.

[whtmagik99]

THERE GOES SLEEP

[CommanderGalos]

It's all fine and good that we end our days watching Radiant Historia. I mean, a double dose of goodness? You can't beat that!

On the other hand, let's consider this: NOW WE'LL ALL HAVE TO WAIT FORTY EIGHT HOURS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!!! NOOOO!!!

[KirbyChan]

Oh Jesus Christ... I don't mind milking the plot for a while but this is just way too damn much. I just want to smack Aht right now, honestly.

[42ndIcicle]

I will miss those bad endings too, HCBailly. Hopefully your fans will create bad bad endings for you in your future LPs.

[BankaiKisuke]

Normally I start my day with Radiant Historia, but I'm totally fine with ending it the same way.

[NeoMegaMan]

30 seconds in and already a Pony reference. This is a good day <3

3:05 and a BTTF reference...

6:15 On Rudy? then 6:19 WHEREVER IT GOES! xD

8:23 Obligatory Star Wars Reference

15:30 Next time! ...or the time after that. xD I laughed WAY too hard at that.

I dunno why I felt compelled to label today's episode. I just did. Great job as always, HC!

[Ocson]

Next Time! (Or the time after that).

That made me lol

[Tiepo01]

I faced Bergas with Gafka at level 26 for the final skill... its DEFINITELY not dependent on what level Gafka is lmao...

[TGCReborn]

3 vids in 1 day! AWESOME!

[RedMageWolfe]

Ha. I see the Nier reference in the title :P

I just got this game a few days a go and it's freaking BRILLIANT. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to wait and watch this LP after I beat it.

[Shadohime]

Good heavens, as if it's not BLATANTLY obvious by now what's going on with Stocke. Sheesh. I have to agree with rufusfan. The game needs to get to the point, already!

But it wouldn't be a JRPG without hilariously drawn-out revelations that attempt to pull the rug out from under you! It's not like it's been heavily foreshadowed in BOTH timelines!

[CastlePokemetroid]

@Shadohime They pretty much already told us what's up. I agree with you. It's like trying to keep you from learning something that you already know.

[Etrian2]

AWWW YEEAH, is that a Nier reference i see in the title?

[ShadowWolfRising]

"my father was the previous holder of the black book"

.............you gotta be shitting me, is this going where i think it is?

[HCBailly]

@ShadowWolfRising But... he's dead... and so is Ernst. This must be a test of our faith in jRPG story writers. Yes... that's it...

[l3igl2eaper]

@HCBailly I had a feeling about Stocke's true identity but now it looks like Heiss is... GAH! Why game!?!? WHY!!!?

[DemonofHell48]

@HCBailly when did we learn about Eruca's brother's name? I mean, I've peace together about five posablilitys for the ending,but I'm just saying.

On an unrelated note, wtf is up with Heiss' nose? Seresly, imagen if he got a cold, there would be more mucis on the wall then...I don't know what.

Finaly, "Heiss", really? Why would you name your kid that unless you want them to become a jrpg villan? I do love the game, and the let's play, but those things just bothered me.

[rchoung34]

@DemonofHell48 i think the name Ernst came up a while back when he first visited Granorg. I personally dont remember too well, but I think it was that Eruca and a few of the soliders called him by that although at that stage of the game, no one would have really known. So i guess it would be up to the viewers/players to see that connection eventually as the storyline progressed

[ShadowWolfRising]

@HCBailly

JRPGs are my favorite genre, but if theres one thing i dislike about it, its that most of the time, theres something i can figure out or predict easily. But Damn if those ones i don't see coming aren't all the more satisfying for it.

[KirbyChan]

Whoa! Why so early? Not that I'm complaining! Three HCBailly videos in one day, I'm all for it :D

[Shika1929]

Now we're in suspense for that much longer.

Accident?...or on purpose?

[mrandmrssaturn]

Two HCBailly episodes in one day? What a treat!

[Zachattack2490]

woooooo midnight hc bailey!

[rufusfan]

Fffffff. EEEEK~ Teeeheee. I'm so excited. But jeez...they are really milking Stocke's past for all that it's worth aren't they....GET TO THE DAMN POINT ALL READY GAME!

*twitches**

I can't wait until the next video :3

[UniversalGiant]

0:53 - Did you mean to say Eruca has to Queen up her act?

[Disembow1280]

@UniversalGiant Nah, he was making a TGWTG reference.

"You're a queen! Queen it up, bitch!"

[ShadowWolfRising]

i was gonna go play SWTOR, but now im gonna watch this first.

[PsychoticNinja1]

Wait, what? Today's still Wednesday, I don't see the word "bonus" in the title, this isn't Seiken Densetsu III, so why, how is there another Radiant Historia episode today? Who cares? It's another Radiant Historia episode from HC Bailly.

[MarioLazor]

Did I just catch a Nostalgia Critic reference at 0:58?

[MarioLazor]

@MarioLazor I mean, 0:55?

[Battlerage502]

Did anyone else catch the Neir reference in the title?

[SuperCrazyLuigi]

@Battlerage502 Boy, did I. Although it'd be kinda hilarious if Heiss did end up becoming (or being revealed as) a talking book that lets the holder throw lances of darkness or something at people.

(My knowledge of Nier is secondhand and rather limited, so I don't know what other abilities Weiss confers, but if he, like, gave the power to Stocke or something...Maximum penetration. Haha joke.) A bit too long for a confirmation reply, eh?

[TheMajink]

are you going to do any bethesda games like fallout or the elder scrolls????

[whattheblox]

@TheMajink He's already said that they're not his cup of tea, so they're VERY low on his priority list.

[lovesthebass]

Wow, I wasn't expecting another RH video today. Thanks HCBailly!

[zuloph]

@lovesthebass We won't be getting one tomorrow though, in the uploader comments he said he neglected to set it to publish tomorrow morning meaning this is tomorrows episode.

[HolyDragonLX]

The description. Just. The description.

[n03y805]

Back to the future xDD

[BeAsTMoDE528]

"Stocke uses the White Chronicle to have the greatest night of his life with Raynie, over and over again."

Laughed hysterically here.

[parnash]

@BeAsTMoDE528 'Should I have sex with Raynie? I need to deeply consider this.'

[MangoV134]

woot!

[JacksonsFoodSto]

Im so happy right now

[gvcats49]

HC FTW

[JanusHoW]

Oh hay early Radiant Historia. Nice little present!

[HCBailly]

@JanusHoW Oops.  I neglected to set it to publish tomorrow morning. Oh well. You get it a little earlier.

[JanusHoW]

@HCBailly Ah, no wonder it usually comes at about the same time.

[Animan223]

@HCBailly

I approve!

Also, *heavy sigh* I get the feeling i know where this is going. I'd actually like it better if it turned out Heiss was actually Stock from the future. xD

[someddrnoob]

@HCBailly I suppose the end of this episode was also a quip to tell us the next episode is on Friday? :)

[Omnicloudx13]

Awesome description =)

[GamerZXAlpha]

The only time I will do this: ONE OF THE FIRST! :)

[gvcats49]

@GamerZXAlpha but you're not

[GamerZXAlpha]

@gvcats49

Thats why i said ONE of the first because I knew i would take to long typeing :P

[gvcats49]

@GamerZXAlpha oh didn't see the ONE...

[GamerZXAlpha]

@gvcats49

np :) lol

[HolyWtfftw]

Yay HC extra Radiant Historia!
