Let's Play Chrono Cross #006 - Water Tastes Good

[leonardoluiss02]

dude, you sound like adam kovic from machinima

[Natashina01]

Oh, I have a question that I've had a lot of trouble answering. Since the enemies have gender, would I do more damage to a female mob as, say, Serge or Glenn? Or does it really not matter?

[wtfareyousmoking]

faceplant

[MegaLlamalord]

I love knowing what you mean when you say "that will affect something way further into the game"

[Isis1381]

Ur scooby doo impression is DA BOMB :)

[MrSomebody54]

great impression hc

[Cardcaptor1996]

I've played Chrono Trigger on the DS (Sadly not on the super nintendo)

Should i go and buy this game from America becuase i live in the U.K and they don't sell this game in english :'(

Btw , Is the playstation Regionfree?

[Natashina01]

@Cardcaptor1996 I really think you should go get CC from America. As far as the PS being region free, well, I don't think having the lower fps from a PAL version of the PSX should make a difference. The emulator I use is ePSXe 1.70. The latest version doesn't seem to run as smoothly. Check out out the forums at ngemu(.com) if you are curious about setups, downloads and general FAQs about many different kinds of emulators.

[Cardcaptor1996]

@Natashina01

ok,

thanks for the advice :)

[aaronexe123]

finish her, fireballality

[brigbjones]

awesome LP man they keep making these RPGs shorter and shorter!

[ComradeLuigi9956]

whats with the sound quality?

[MSAnemanja2]

last episode he said find out next time i was like "w00t?!"

[Katon724]

This LP has been really entertaining so far with your humor, HC.

Your jokes are awesome.

[314Marvin]

And (Insert characters name that was hurt or dead) died..... how many times have u said that?

[Shredster7]

aaand hhee DIED.

LPer Memes FTW!

[suokkis]

Poshul looks really cute.

[fireball973]

Damnit where's a Chrono Trigger when you need one?

[GodOfPlague]

So memories are made of cholesterol, well that explains soooo much.

[yoshimario40]

Why is there absolutely no reference to Kingdom Hearts?

[sarahjane2010]

@yoshimario40 because I'm pretty sure HC Bailly has never played Kingdom Hearts. :)

[dhinz23]

Best signoff ever.

[Arcaniex]

And (some person(s)) dies... I wonder how many times you have said that throughout your LPs

[evanfire30]

MAMA? MAMA KAMODO? AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[mgsfan001]

me too im more of a son of a playstation

[Intrafacial86]

No matter how many times we come here, the sea just keeps rolling in and out...

in and out...

IN and OUT...

IINN AND OOUUTT...

[lecmg]

I don't recall ever using defend in this game. I don't recall really caring about stamina either, just kinda winged it.

[GaaraFredNorrisPro]

Poshul reminds me of Twig from Adventure Quest.

Man, i haven't played that in forevers

[johuotar]

what if your partymember is KO and then you defeat a boss? I played this and i had Guile KO'ed and he didn't get that element slot or whatever it is. Is it bad if I miss few of those slots?

[Natashina01]

@johuotar Yes, sadly it is. Particularly if you use Guile, since he really starts getting his element slots at higher star levels. If you have a save file/state right before that boss fight, I'd suggest reloading and trying the boss again. Also, depending upon your set up, you might want to make sure you have plenty of cures and heals just in case. Good luck! ;)

[andon217]

annnd he dies....

XD

[chuggaafan100]

water 2 go

[MikeMoneyGMR]

And he dies...lol I love that ending :P

[ZoanBlade90]

You have a very FreezingInferno type voice. you know that,right?

[rocksteal2000]

the way the water came up at him reminded me of Final fantasy X lol

[TheCandie87]

I wonder how many people actually believed this was the end of Chrono Cross? x3 I suppose it would be believable if one didn't know anything at all about the game. Heh.

[Jinnath]

Coasta Del Sol brings back the memories.

Isn't that spanish for "The Coastal Sun"?

Keep up the great vids my sweet little muderer.

[TheCandie87]

Actually, "del" in Spanish means "of the." So "Costa Del Sol" in English means "Coast of the Sun." :D Sounds like a pretty place. <3

[314Marvin]

@Jinnath Costa del sol doesnt mean the coastal sun it mean Coast of the sun

[SUMCDM]

"We used to come all the time."

My mind is gross.

[mgsfan001]

@SUMCDM u sick fuck lol im just kidding, i gotta nasty brain too*references tee bagging shibito in the siren games*

[RedHeadRadulf83]

and ... he ... dies! :D ROFL

[MorticonZX]

Migic Tital Wave!

[kbhalacy]

you can't........

[Flumpansamonga]

He had a stroke? Pretty original ending, actually.

[darthvaderyoda]

5:26 Lawl "Menage a trois"

[WO2DW6Rocks]

rofl the end serge DIES xD

[Katchip14]

this is the best rpg ever it was way too short though.

[RubberbandmanBob]

"it came from behind"

lol. it tried to take advantage of you.

[ACherimoya]

"At least Leena doesn't have a silly accent."

Unlike... every... other character in this game.

[ComradeSephiroth]

When it becomes relevant, you ought to mention the importance of fighting at least a couple small battles between each boss battle in order to max out stats. At least whenever such a tactic is possible...

The end of this episode is one of the best endings EVER, by the way.

[sagacious03]

I find it funny that you're just rambling on about things during some of the nicest & most philosophical dialogue in the game, HCBailly. XD

[Turner459O]

Lol. You ended the episode early just to show that cliffhanger :P

[LightFykki]

This was an interesting end, Serge must have some serious problems.He imagines some scary stuff, or is he...

[SomeDumbYankee]

My favorite music in the game...

This almost makes me want to start this game again.

[Made4542]

omg another lead female character who wants the male character to remember or keep a promise rofl *looks at you Cloud and Tifa*

[Doggejern]

Yeah, Chrono Cross was a sweet game. A bit on the short side, and that Komodo Dragon was pretty easy for a final boss, but it's still a masterpiece!

...

[DarkTechnomancer]

There is a trick to regain stamina almost for free. Defend with one character, then switch from the person it went to automatically and defend again. It's not infallible, as enemies can interrupt it now and then, but it does regain quite a bit, and can sometimes bring you back to full without the enemy getting a turn.

[Vassaloftheflames]

Why does it seem that you're Let's Play series are getting progressively less PG? There have been so many nudge-nudge, wink-wink jokes in Let's Play Chrono Cross I've lost count. Good thing you're funny, HC Bailly.

[HCBailly]

The more I do these, the more comfortable I become with talking. In some cases, that means acting like an immature 6-year old.

Having more subscribers also affords me the ability to not care about losing a handful of self-righteous viewers.

[Vassaloftheflames]

Well, keep it up, because a lot of them are really funny.

[ComradeSephiroth]

I appreciate the fact that you've loosened up a little with the content the past several months. I mean if I were doing a Let's Play I wouldn't have every other word be an expletive, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to sound completely pure and innocent.

[DLSMaster]

@HCBailly I do like your style though of your LPs, it's diffrent than the others that i've seen, so far but, please keep up with the good & great work of ur LPs cuz, I do like & love them so. :)

[kalennighteyes]

So this IS a sequel to Chrono Trigger eh? I got told it was a remake but from watching Chrono Trigger its not haha.

[Xaio30]

Wow! A Warcraft 3 reference from King Bailly! :D

[FullOfFail]

lol, end of disk 1, insert disk 2 for credits

[BygPhattyPlus]

Great, he' dead. Now we have to play the rest of the game as Poshul! Ugh, might as well quit now...

Ha ha ha, another cliffhanger!

[MegadethTearsInAVial]

Its funny how CC and FF7 have a lot of likenesses, not only from the LP so far, but throughout the game. Though, I HAVE heard, however, that the storyline for CC was the original one for FF7. Don't quote me on that though..

[haakinova]

Don't trust everything you hear.

[AcaciaSgt]

However, what is true is the other way around.

Ideas for FFVII (and it wasn't going to be like the one we got in the end, actually), got dispersed to other games like Xenogears and Chrono Cross.

[MegadethTearsInAVial]

Thanks. I knew I heard SOMETHING of that sort. I read on that like 5 years ago.

[MegadethTearsInAVial]

I didn't say I trusted it. It was something I read about when I was in High School. So whether or not I trust anything anyways, wouldn't be any of your business, thanks. At least I got reassurance without anyone being an asshole.

[marcusotero]

Game over, dude.

[keithgarry]

5:37

I had to really fight off my hand from clicking the one star after that. 5/5 of course hehe

[TsuKing]

Man I thought this LP was never going to finish, finally it's over. Such a sad ending too :(

[Uldemar]

Rofl. Aaaaand he dies.

[TrueSoreThumb]

9:18 Life stream? XD

[blackswan707]

Does every video game lead these days have a childhood friend that they made a promise to that they can't really remember but they say they remember it anyway..or was that just a 90s thing..

And of course, all extra characters must disappear during FMVs..but to be fair, it'd be impossible space-wise to prerender all of the possible combinations for every big scene..especially in a game with this many characters.

When that mysterious voice came on screen, I riffed "Serge, your lights are on.."

[LMNTX]

And, he dies...

[DarthLampe]

Serge couldn't take Leena's clingyness or demanding attitude, and neither could god. R.I.P. Serge, you're in a better place buddy.

[ZZDaikun]

I don't find the music slowdowns bothersome. Go ahead and enjoy your higher-quality video settings. :)

[spriddlez]

My psx emulator slows down at the end and beginning of batlles in chrono cross too.

[ValentineZwei]

lmao "MAGIC TIDAL WAVE!"

[Rmlohner]

8:55

It's the intro to Final Fantasy 8, run!

[Vivi12000]

ahhh It was a lovely LP Mr.Baily.

[TheNintendoMaster03]

After you said "They're mine! All mine!" for a moent I thought you were gonna do your Kefka laugh.

[dfr343]

I like how they reused the beach from the beginning of FF8 there. :)

[FenrirWeapon]

wow that was a short game. I was expecting a dark gripping storyline that would last over 40 hours oh well FF8 is next :P

[drunyon214]

Nice Warcraft II reference.

Costa del Sol... childhood promises to friends... lifestream welling up... It's Let's Play FF7 all over again!

[armpitpuncher]

HC, what emulator do you use, and what settings? I'm having a hard time getting this game to run well.

[natranr]

try ePSXe

use Pete's D3D Driver 1.77

offscreen drawing at enhanced

[yuyuhakushox]

man that was a good LP. cant wait for LP FF8

[GardioxNebilim]

i like how your do lps over a lesser known game

[keithgarry]

...and CD2 has the credits

[Trevah881]

I've seen dog's wear hats before, poshul being a huge dog can wear a helmet aparantly.

[berserk2112]

And Finally I know where HCBailly lives

[natranr]

Stalker >.>

[moveunderground]

Doesn't Lake Michigan have a beach, HC?

[Eleene]

I've always wondered if you were from the Chicagoland area. You have the right accent for it.

So, howdy neighbor!

[EtherSword]

Wow, this upload was so hilarious.

[doonsoldier]

that was a short one.

[XKrules]

Serge isn't dead >.> he just fainted for a really really long time :) That means the LP isn't over because lucahjin (NCS would know her youtube identity, i can't remember it >.>) has had 93 parts and it still ain't over.

[LunaVivian]

he is only joking

[iniudan]

Could be 93 part of killing beach bun. So yes Serge is dead didn't you listen to what HC said. =p

[righter1000]

good lp cant wait for the next one xD

[Finalfantasypianos14]

Greatest LP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[42jemini]

Serge is dead. Lena will now be forever haunted by Serge's ghost. ; )

[Majyk5]

I agree with you HC, I don't like beaches either. The sand is my reason. I hate sand. XP

[thedigitalbug]

The irony is that he really does die...if you know what I mean.

[Raltzer]

Well, that was quick. So, is Final Fantasy VIII next, then?

[PTp1ranha]

That was an awfully short LP. I guess it's time for FF8 in about a week then?

(lol)

[IsaacFan3]

shortest LP ever xD

[Zeke50100]

The FMV of the beach reminds me of FFVIII.

[Flameguy42]

crap, I hit 2 stars when trying to hit pause. Sorry

[CelesChere694]

So I guess that's why dragons aren't real. Serge killed them all.

[bajan13k]

Serge is an ecological disaster....

[ascurtis05]

Can't wait to see how you deal with how crazy this game gets.

Any chance of you doing a BoF3 LP? That game is like nostalgia central for me.

[Toksyuryel]

I personally wouldn't mind seeing an LP of the whole series; but I think he's got enough on his plate for the next few years to be thinkin' about that yet ^_^;

[gamenut94]

what? no rating this time? lol

[KingOGreen]

Shortest game ever.

[bobthenoblik]

I live in Hawaii, the beach is my life!!

[AdudenamedKemp]

Considering this is just a video game, the dialogue is exceptionally good, especially Leena's... but not Poshul's, obviously.

[aronnian]

Some video games have amazing dialogue.

[Waterwish545]

So Serge was able to speak once! I guess he lost his voice at puberty.

[DarkSlayerJ]

*Looks at the time as you say that* Na...he is going to say something soon...*times passes* 0_0 HE WASNT KIDING!?!??!

[Youtubianish]

When you said that Serge didn't have much of an accent either, I suddenly remembered his status screen where it basically sums up that character.

In Serge's case - "Silent protagonist" XD

[VShalak]

Wow, and I thought the death of that fat guy in Zombieland was pathetic, but this, this is just absurd! Nice work, HC!

[MastermewtwoALPHA]

That's MAMA Komodo to you, Bailly! *brick'd*

[Valis77]

lenna is wilingl to bare his kids.Now that's a girlfriend.

Your scooby doo talk is good. Reep rat it..i mean keep at it. >.>

[STRIKERuYa]

And he dies.....

Well this is the end of lets play cronno cross, this is HC Bailey signing off, have a good day.... IF YOU CAN MWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHA!!!!!!­!!

[stranger0213]

Does he really died? I hope he doesn't.  It's too early to end the game.

[AdudenamedKemp]

of course he doesn't...

... wait, were you joking? I seriously couldn't tell...

[stranger0213]

I never play the game before, but I'm kind of familiar with HCBailey's cliffhanger, so I just guessed a bit that he isn't dead. So I wasn't joking.

[DarkAnimeClaw]

way to leave us hangin at the end, HC lol

5:37 i could be wrong about this, but was that a WLiiA quote when you impersonated scooby as arnold?

[HCBailly]

Yeah. Good catch.

[speyeker]

You were right about how it's ethically wrong what Serge did to the Komodo Dragons. I'm going to add that to the TVTropes page for Moral Dissonance, since it's not listed there already.

[speyeker]

So the dog talks but the human protagonist doesn't.

Something's missing here.

[Mateisan]

Yes something is missing indeed.

[KHSlider]

Hey hc i just thought of this. Can elemental stuff stack like the innate, the weakness, and field stuff

[realwarpet]

thats like the worst cliff hanger ever HCbailly is definelty mean when i tcomes to ending his videos

[SomeGuy712x]

With the accuracy thing, I noticed that, too. When I equipped Poshul with the Silver Loupe, her Hit% in battle was greater than Serge's, even though the status screen shows Poshul at 83 compared to Serge's 85. I wonder why?

I was hoping for a "HI-YOOO!!!" when you went through that secret passage. Maybe next time.

Awesome episode ending, by the way. That ten seconds of nothing at the end was genius!

[MindstormXL]

Maybe you should stick with your evil cartoon overlord voice

[MindstormXL]

In addition to me last comment Nice MIB reference

[BBoy2020]

Isn't Serge pronounced "Sir-gay"?

[Drybones52]

Nope, that's how I read it also, but I checked it against the Japanese and they spell it Seruju. So it's like surge but more se ish at the beginning... so Serge.

[metajake]

i will be re-watching this series more then any previous..

partially cause of the soundtrack : P

[gunnil751]

I never expected to hear menage a trois in a LP xD

[somalification]

5:27 LOL GROSS!!!!

LMAO the ending was awesome!!!

[Trancelistener09]

"Next thing you know we'll be fighting giant fish.

well HC Bailey im pretty sure you got it handled so from me to you "Do what you do best"

[RyokuSensei]

yeah i just learned about that trick the other day so i always missed hers lol.

[kefka242]

and he dies....... lmao

[JmdMagic]

Theory: Hit % in the Stats is how much you get when you successfully attack.

[Slntpsych]

Wow, he has the ability to turn normal sand into basalt sand. That has to be up there on the useless abilities list.

[RyuuSeichi]

Wow, that would've been a messed up way to end a game, but somehow, I think he didn't die, I mean, video game characters can survive falls of any height, surely this battle hardened war veteran can survive a little water!

[qazwsxasdedc]

9:37 You'd like that

It gets more interesting from this point and so on.

[Nidair]

Not a Son of the Beach huh? Are you a Son of a Gun then?

I am really looking forward to that part. It will be great :P

[LiamDocherty]

At 8:55, is that the beginning cutscene of Final Fantasy VIII? They were out at roughly the same time, right? So I suppose they reused that scene and changed a few details.

[ff2paladin]

Yeah, I was like "Whoa, this is ripped right out of FF8's intro".

"And...he...dies...." Predicted that one.

[needsleepnow14]

I would like to make a suggestion HC...This game is super massive, especially with all the extra characters, sidequests, and endings...If you do one vid/day this may take 2/3 of a year to complete or longer. I would recommend that some days that 2 episodes would be uploaded.

Although you are the master at what you do, and I thoroughly enjoy your LP...just making a suggestion :D

[ff2paladin]

In time, you will see what he has planned. Hint: Look at his profile.

[Hawelo92]

Dude, he's already done with this Let's Play, didn't you see the video?

(XD)

[SchlossRitter]

Is it just me or are you getting louder and louder in your videos? I've got the volume down to 33% just to listen comfortably with earbuds, while it used to be 40-50%

That first "secret passage" reminds me of the sinkhole in the Simpsons Movie, which I just finally watched.

If Leena is so tired of the sea, she should take a portal to Dark Sun and see how she likes seas full of silt.

[HCBailly]

Over time, I've increased the volume of my videos, so that everyone can hear. At least that way, you can decrease the volume if you so choose. Before, the volume was too low, so people had to increase the volume too much, which can become distorted then.

[SchlossRitter]

Ah, that works :-)

At least unlike some people, you don't have a direct audio feed with the source turned all the way up, causing distortion from the source, heh.

But yeah, your yelling does hurt the ears at times when it's double the decibels of the rest of the video :-P

[MilanJ4]

HA the title of this episode reminds me of Ace Ventura pt 2, when he's wrestling the crocodile. 'Water Feels Goooooood!'

[Cardfanj]

You should have said:

"At least Leena doesn't have an accent, well, not since... *dramatic pause*... The incident."

That would have been great.

[Isuju]

Right in front of the dog; why not involve the dog while they're at it?

[njdss4]

Weird. When you Defend you get 1 Stamina back and it goes to your other character. When I would Defend, the enemies would always attack me. A LOT.

[Normansmight]

HC....you gotta stop questioning video game logic...like how can a dog wear a helmet? when you should be asking how can that dog talk!

[karry299]

Easy, surgical vocal cords enchancements.

[Normansmight]

bwa ha ha! of course! but now you have to explain the helmet now that you explained the talking...although..i have heard of cat wigs...if you can get a cat to wear a wig you can prolly do anything

[ChronaMewX]

Hmm...the game's a little shorter than I remembered it. Still awesome

[Slash65355]

speaking of mystic quest i was wondering if you were gonna play that one eventually HC?I hope so ive watched you other final fantasy lps and was hopeing to see that one come up at sometime.

[SchlossRitter]

Be sure to specify "Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest" or FFMQ when referring to that game. Europeans may be confused otherwise as FF Adventure was called "Mystic Quest" there (despite the lack of connection between games), while they got FFMQ as "Mystic Quest Legend".

[kasanu62]

i was so expecting"IF YOU CAN!! MWHAHAHAHA!!"
