Let's Play Final Fantasy Tactics #68 - You Dancing Fool!

[SchlossRitter]

The Elemental from the swamp tile reminded me of Bio.

That line at the end was spit take worthy.

[FlammieLL]

"HCBailly's party is stupid, throw rocks at them"

[xXLloydMagnusXx]

"Can i survive a battle with 11 men on top of me?" *nearly spills drink*

[ALittleSipOfWine]

"Oh oh...what does he...THEY'RE STILL THROWING STONES AT ME!!!" Just great, HCBailly =)

[YinYangWolf]

@ALittleSipOfWine Why are people always drinking when others say things like that? xD

[elliotcroft]

That squire is Bannon Ganned!

[DragonCurandero]

short charge... and the final song/dance... hehe...

[KentoKaima]

11 men huh,I wonder if that's the battle with all those monks,I haven't played this in a while so I'll have see

[Lirrink1776]

For the Dancer, her best stuff is the ones that give random ailments to enemies and she has another(not the damage dealer) that's worth doing, but in mine, I got the dancer like perma dance for the one that adds random ailments

[TheDarksterZane]

Was the 11 men on top of you a reference to the honey bee inn or an interesting coincidence?

[Kraleck]

"Wiznaibus" is another mistranslation. It's actually "With Knives" as in "Dance With Knives" or "Knife Dance."

[lordjosh286]

If only Tactics had a way for u to catch those pathetic stones and crush them in front of the weak while u laugh at their patheticness when they charge to tackle u only to meet their impending doom that is your blade. When will they ever learn!

[jedimastermagus]

"well that ability might be REmotely useful" Wizard fallls asleep due to trap. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!" I guess not... XD

[lovesthebass]

I find it ironic that three out of four times, the MP restore song didn't restore MP to the only person who needed it, but it did everyone else.

[ChaosBahamut]

@lovesthebass Doesn't work on anyone who's asleep.

Or were you aware of that and just noting the irony regardless?

[lovesthebass]

@ChaosBahamut I was actually unaware.

[DragonCurandero]

@lovesthebass heh... actually two used mp during that, and it always hits someone who is aware. i usually used the mp song/dance or the quick ones...

[Fartbrain50]

@HCBailly Larry the Cable Guy!?

Really? Wow...

[HCBailly]

@Fartbrain50 Don't ask me where that came from in my subconscious.

[1every5]

There are eleven men on top of you? That sounds like something out of Leaves of Grass.

[firei11]

And somehow Wiznaibus managed to kill 2 enemies!

[rpgwarlord2012]

WIth what on top of you? lol

[Filipe304]

What about the rest of the Zodiac Stones? Is there any kind of mention about them? =o

[labradoido]

It sounded like Dumbledore Swamp...

[udsuna]

Sticks and stones will break your bones. But it's STILL better than a sharp stick in the eye.

[SomeGuy712x]

(8:07) O'Bannon: "You've triggered my trap card!"

[hachimon8]

09:41 LOL, Let me have a turn!!

[LPTofuboi86]

After hearing this kick-ass battle music I just had to find it myself! Yeah! KICK-ASS MUSIC! :D Thanks HC for introducing me to FFT and it's kick-ass music. :D

[OuroborosChoked]

Oh man, this episode was hilarious :D

*throws stone at HCBailly*

[wetdesert]

I laughed too hard at that sleep trap... WAY too hard lol

[Charmolution]

My volume was a little low when I started watching, and I happened to turn it up right at 2:24, just to get an earful of HCBailly yelling at the game.

[MrLifeWin]

I vote for a HCBAILLY THROWING STONES AMV

[madrugaas]

HAHA I CAN TELEPORT.... OMG IT'S A TRAP!!!

[Raganui]

Axes are VERY random, he's just being nice.

[nibelung34343]

you know when the dance magic causes the screen to spin its called a dance dance REVOLUTION

[odins1337]

a whole party of dancers is the way to ramzas is the bard singing the physical attack they all die slowly but surly

[imnotmexican1987]

there was one random battle that features 10 monks. i think it was at grog hill? that one was my favorite.

[odins1337]

@imnotmexican1987 and 10 ninjas/samuri i almost shit when i seen that just bringing in my crap ppl to screw around (i dont save often) one of the few battles i used "tactics"

[42ndIcicle]

HCBailly, do the sing and dance commands... suck this much?

[Trihorn1417]

HCBailly, are you interested in showing a random battle in barious hill? i forgot the specifics but you can run into several hydras, behemoths and red chocobos at once and is actually somewhat difficult. more difficult than most of the battles in the game at least.

[Savott]

Axes do random damage just like in FF12, and these two games are linked. It's a nice touch.

[zeroangelmk1]

HCBailly, your preamp might have a light on it that will help you set the levels. If the light goes red when you talk that means the output level is too high on ur preamp and your PC will get a distorted/clipped sound. I set up a mic for my brother in law and it took a bit of trial and error, we ended up using only 30% output volume on the preamp because any higher than that and it would cause clipping (a form of distortion). After setting the output volume, the input volume was easy to do.

[EdwardChrisvonMuir]

Its funny, because when Banon died, they lost the battle.

[88blair88]

This was the funniest episode I have seen from you in a long time HCBailly

[cjambient]

In longer battles like in the deep dungeon i really like bard speed and stat bossting songs. the monsters take so long to get to you that 50% chance will work out.

[VShalak]

Is the episode title a reference to the Frank Zappa song?

/watch?v=1qXnojmQz3I

[ShyBoy6D9]

I wanna go to an AA meeting and hear someone say "Hello, this is HCBailly!"

So how did Cloud know where the Materia Blade was if he's not even familiar with the world he's in?

[Waterwish545]

Yeah, MP restoration song is extremely good with the Magic job classes (I actually played around with it yesterday after my comment on it) and it makes MP problems a thing of the past.

[teckwerks]

Oh wow, HCBailly, that was an incredibly homoerotic cliffhanger there. :V

[ZergofImportance]

Odd Beowulf did a critical attack but still did the normal damage.

[AND4H]

The reason squires use Throw Stone and Dash so much is that you can't use the almighty BLADE GRASP against them. The AI prefers to take the accuracy for little damage than the 15% or so chance of success for more damage.

[ExorArgus]

Everyone knows that HCbaily ain't no song and dance man :P

[Ferriorx]

I guess they haven't learned the ability "Throw Boulder" yet.

[InfiniteTrials]

"Not very good at singing and dancing", another part of the Bailly Curse?

[GayLPer]

You *are* going to show off Reis, right? D:

[drunyon214]

Also, that Bull Demon was able to use Accumulate because the Squire next to him had Monster Skill, which gave him extra abilities. Normally only the level 3 type of that monster (Sacred) gets Accumulate.

[drunyon214]

I find Wiznaibus to be better in the Deep Dungeon, where the maps are huge, there are a lot of enemies, and enemies take a long time to get to you (especially the first area). Over the course of a battle there, Wiznaibus will probably deal more damage than any other skill, since it would probably deal about 25 damage * 10 enemies * 10 attacks = 2500 damage!

Not much can compare to that. Wiznaibus is also great for picking off low HP enemies that try to run away so you don't have to chase.

[keshigara]

Great ending HC haha.

[HarvestHalfMoonGlows]

For a minute, I thought that one Squire used potato instead of potion. OTL

[Jinnath]

Still throwing stones! lol

Way too funny. Hurray for tactical AI.

Apparently the human race has nothing to worry about from artificial intelligence.

[SilentWeaponsIII]

So I guess HC dances like Elaine from Seinfeld with the thumbs and kicking =P

[cocomunga]

Wiznaibus is very effective in chapters 1 and 2. After that though, it deals pretty pathetic damage no matter your level. Meanwhile, songs are not that bad throughout the game. Life Song can heal quite a bit if your magic and speed are high.

[Vaylemn]

You still don't have dark knights?

[GriefJerky]

@Vaylemn Dark Knights are only in the PSP version. Since he's playing the PS1 version, he can't get them.

[Nagoragama]

Wiznaibus does not suck. The thing is, it can deal damage over and over with 100% accuracy from anywhere on the screen. As your speed increases, you can kill the enemies before they can even get to you.

[cocomunga]

Wiznaibus is very effective in chapters 1 and 2. After that though, it deals pretty pathetic damage no matter your level.

[jorito1]

I don't know why, but when I saw the title I read it as "You spoony fool".

[JakobusMaximus]

Would concentrate increase the odds of singing and dancing working?

[JoltsD]

Ramza's branded a heretic, and the lowly Squires are trying to stone him to death. I find that amusing.

[MasterAsra]

HC Bailly, your Dancer's level is fifteen. You can't expect her to do much damage like that!

[MrMK109]

"We still throw stones at you. Like, we know you killed the final boss already, but I think we can do something with sharp stone into your eye."

[superstickman42]

you could say that those were some "Killer moves"

[Beeht]

11 men, HCBailly?! That's one hell of a sword fight.

[gregdrako]

That guy was danced to death...

[johnkane455]

Dear HCBailly, I have played this game through many times but ive never gotten Cloud. Where did you recruit him?

[Altrescu]

@johnkane455 He got cloud in episode 61

[cocomunga]

@johnkane455 watch the episode called Final Fantasy VII

[pious83]

11:00 Sounds like Disgaea

[Enum995]

are you gonna be fighting Julia Roberts in the next ep?

[ryanphoenix]

02:23 Stick and stones won't break HC Bailly's bones, but they're still damn annoying. :P When will they learn?

[ValisHD]

i hope it's a sexy episode <3

[TheMelnTeam]

By the way, if you are willing to catch a bull demon early game (zeklaus desert IIRC) you can let it breed a sacred while doing propositions and then poach your own guy.

The COMMON drop is a holy lance. Er....that would be 14 str holy elemental weapon for a good class. In other words, it's a bit better than the rune blade, which you can't buy until late chapter 4...but you could technically poach for it in what, chapter 1? 2 with minimal grinding (aka during propositions).

[ChaosBahamut]

@TheMelnTeam Even so you can't get the item until chapter 3. You also forgot that the Holy Lance has a random chance of casting Holy when attacking.

[IcarusMJ12]

Of course they are throwing stones. You just randomly walked up to them and starting indiscriminately slaughtering them with song and dance and they didn't know what else to do.

[thechronicle619]

i hope that you're going to show off clouds limit breaks and all the other secret characters...

also it would be cool if you are going to show every other class we haven't seen so far.

[LahmOfGod21]

The Minotaur enemies are weak to Water, which explains why the elemental attack did so much damage.

[tyrennobile]

The thing about Bard and Dancer is that MA and PA (respectively) only affect the amount of their HP and MP healing/damaging songs and dances. All of their songs/dances have a set chance of working which is usually 50%, except for Last Dance (set enemy CT to zero) which the BMG states is 34%.

Brave also affects the damage output of Witch Hunt and Wiznaibus. I've gotten Wiznaibus to do about 30-40 damage? Not great, but it adds up over time.

[levelmaster2]

So an advertisement that is post to be appropriate for all ages and yet it has rapping in it?  Sorry, rapping is not for all ages.

[Pickleton]

@HCBailly i think you're a good singer. the Terranigma to the tune of stonecutters song was pretty righteous

[ctsnicky]

dae think that the title to this video is missing a few 'o's in the "fool"?

[jeremy2d]

What's the "Frog" spell do? I don't recall seeing that.

[xenqwz]

@jeremy2d Changes character into frog.

[mblade112697]

Can you show off frog HCbailly?

[SoulOfFenrir]

Hm, I think that is going to be a battle I have never experienced, 11 people? I've played the game a ton of times but idk o.O

[Disukehyuga]

@SoulOfFenrir one time I got stuck against 11 monks. it was rather odd since they all knew random other-skills and it just took forever to finish with 2 dragoons a samurai a ninja and Mustadio.....

[TheMelnTeam]

I've had level 50 time mages throw stones at me X_X. This game loves that ability too much.

I wish the game gave human characters better JP development so the mediator is more useful (and the game would then be more challenging in general, if only a bit).

[xenqwz]

@TheMelnTeam Maybe it has 1% change to kill everyone on the screen.

[superstickman42]

So HCBailly, when are you going to be trying out your new microphone and equipment that you were talking about?

[HCBailly]

@superstickman42 I think it's not going to work out. The setup is enormously more complicated than what I have now. I don't know what is so hard about "plug in, press record", but whoever made this "professional" microphone didn't get the memo.

[McFeely2pointoh]

@HCBailly What are you having problems with? I know a guy that owns a recording studio, so if it's a technical issue I could try to get some answers for you.

[HCBailly]

@McFeely2pointoh In order to get the microphone to even recognize my voice, I have to turn the input all the way up. Then, it gets all distorted. If I turn it down, then I can't hear myself. Even my crappy $20 USB microphone has better balance and sensitivity.

[McFeely2pointoh]

@HCBailly Ah. Well that just sounds like you got a crappy "professional" microphone. That or it requires a power source and you don't have one, check to see about that. Or it's cardioid and you aren't pointing it at yourself properly.

Setting up higher quality mics is always more of a hassle than their plug and play counterparts. I had all kinds of trouble with mains hum when I set up my first recording mic. Turned out my fancy light bulb and speakers' power adapter were causing the trouble.

[jwmusicorg]

@HCBailly It sounds like you might have a short, or you're using a condensor microphone that needs phantom power.

[japplegren]

@HCBailly

fwiw your recording setup seems absolutely fine as is. your voice is really clear and perfect volume in relation to the game's sound level. don't fix what isn't broken!

[grenadier42]

@HCBailly

Gogogo audio engineer!

[dioseolo]

@HCBailly If you're having trouble with your recording setup, you should make a video about it. There's always a way around it and there's bound to be someone who knows how to record easily with whatever mic you bought. Also, from the top of my head the first guy who come to mind you could ask is DanQ8000. He sometimes uploads like 20 videos a day and he records with a professional mic, so he might know how to just "plug in and press record", or else he wouldn't be able to upload that fast.

[tortuga388]

Seeing the title of this episode makes me think of "You insolent FOOOOOOOLLL!" I'm sure that's what you were going for.

[Zenryu7]

God dance and sing so much faster on original compare to psp version.

[Ocson]

The way you said "Wow, that sucks hard." made me laugh.

[karagkiozis1821]

HC,it's Dolbodar,not Dolbador

[1wingedauron]

The next time someone throws stones at you, you could play a clip from the stoning scene in Life of Brian.

[RockcrabOnShiva]

11 Monk battle :D

Excited!

Assuming you're going to bring your strongest group to that one?

[arkanol]

lol dancer and bard seem like awesome classes XD

[Ixthraxus]

I think Wizwhatzit might be magic based.

[HCBailly]

@Ixthraxus According to the Battle Mechanics FAQ: Damage = PA + [(PA * Br) / 100]

[Ixthraxus]

@HCBailly Huh. Maybe it's brave keeping her down, then. Or level. Then again, I remember ~30 damage being the norm, so it isn't like you have a lot to look forward to. Even with 100 brave and 20 PA that's only 40 damage. Woooo.

[00oblacksnakeo00]

@HCBailly well...lvl 15 against 37 also does make difference...no?

[Jai452]

hey HCBailly what are the big differences between the ps1 version and the psp one? ie story and side stuff??????????

[kdsxanadu]

@Jai452 A good idea would be a simple google search for: what are the differences between war of the lions

Click the first link.

[snicksnack666]

I missed #67 but saw it 2 min before this was put up

[Scoreman7769]

HC Baily, I just want to say you are the man when it comes to LP's. Not only are you informative but your Hillarious! I can't wait to see you do an LP of Final Fantasy IV Complete. Would you ever do one for the PSP FF Tactics?

[RockcrabOnShiva]

2nd! I love you HCB!

Is Radient Historia going to be your next LP?

[iheartmovees]

@RockcrabOnShiva look at his channel :)

[Puddimans]

Youtube has screwed me... Last episode i saw in my sub-box was #65 >_>

[snicksnack666]

@Puddimans Got to love Youtube's sub box
