Let's Play Final Fantasy IX #020 - Hunter's Chance

[metaniterocks]

10:20 WWaaaaaiiiit a MINUTE!! That music is used in Chocobo's Dungeon!!!!

[FireBallzor]

6:40

RELEASE... THE KRAKEN!

[flavaman20]

whats mighty max....... :-p

[ryanphoenix]

04:40 Did HC Bailly collect Ninja Turtle action figures? I mean, all boys around that time had a TMNT collection, right? Right? I remember getting so many for Christmas one year that the couch was completely covered with action figures. Good times, good times. ;)

[zingzangspillip1]

I had two or three Mighty Max toys. They were pretty fun.

[boblabon]

Don't feel bad about your summons "Dagger", Rydia and Terra couldn't summon initially either.

[Poopsonchests]

Mighty Max reference ftw!

[ChromeMaquilover22]

Zidane proving that you must hear no evil nor speak evil but you can sure as hell can see evil HELLO PRINCESS

[UkyoKuonji2010]

I love the song for this game. "Melodies of Life". So beautiful.

[EzioAuditoreXIII]

@UkyoKuonji2010 i prefer Immoral Melody or Kuja V

[XBerserker317]

So the Hilda Garde 2 can only fly for one Youtube video in it's current state?

[j800r]

@XBerserker317 That joke WOULD have worked except the 15 min restriction's been lifted somewhat recently.

[rupaulsuterus]

that word for me is FACTOR

[Zfortsniff]

HOORAY FOR THE SEINFELD REFERENCE!!!

[karagkiozis1821]

Well,during the hunting game,I'd like to control Vivi,not Zidane,although the prize is much worse.I always let Freya win.Does anyone know a way to make Vivi win?I've never seen him win.

[TMM098]

@karagkiozis1821 Let Zidane and Freya die in the Zaghnol fight.

[j800r]

@karagkiozis1821 He needs to be in the lead when the hunt ends. Wait until he's leading on points before entering the battle with the Zagnohl(sp?) then kill off both Zidane and Freya. Really not worth it though. You might get one different line of dialog but the prize is pointless certainly not worth going through the hunt all over again just to let Zidane or Freya win.

[TheMrRipleyz]

HCBailey, if that part about women only giving their virginity to men who survived 3 battles was true, there would have been a lot more lesbians in medieval times.

[Fbueller129]

@TheMrRipleyz It isn't. Basically if you were a Knight or Noble you could get it from whomever you wanted whenever you wanted.

[TheMrRipleyz]

@Fbueller129 I know. I was making a funny joke. See the funny joke? SEE IT?!

[udsuna]

No, they did not have action figures. They also did not have airships.

[Stauf1186]

In case you didn't know, Hunter's Chance (The song playing during the festival) is a remix of The Landing from Final Fantasy 8 (The Dollet mission at the start of the game). I never seem to notice that on any list of references to past games.

[j800r]

@Stauf1186 In that case for all you know The Landing could be a remix of Hunter's Chance considering both games were developed at the same time.

[mSwann07]

where is video #21?

[KINFIN123]

Someone saw Zidane's Telescope.

[RiiidgeRaacer]

Hey, I collected Mighty Max too D:

[SkwiddlyDoo]

7:31 - Enter Trance Queen Brahne

[jgldje]

How did Freya get into the Princess' room?! Nobody knew that she knew Zidane because no one else was with him when he met her!

Sorry that just really bothered me right now. I never even thought about it before.

[MsFrazzledFro]

At first, when I read "Please, Princess, you might actually enjoy it" I thought that Zidane was speaking rather than Steiner. It made the line pretty awkward.. not that it isn't awkward already!

[Turatle]

my friend got addicted to using the word "lactate" 3 years ago...

he still uses it

[MimicOfBlitz]

AND a Back to the Future reference. Love it HCBailly!

[Piisuke]

@MimicOfBlitz Which is actually in the game itself :)

[MimicOfBlitz]

Star Trek Reference. For teh Lulz. :3

[nothingespecial1]

hmmmm, the fire rod joke remembers me of your ff 4 lets play. WHY?

[Arceusvids]

Helleu! This is HCbailly, and I have no chance ON LET'S PLAY FINAL FANTASY NINE!

[Thinker2112]

As a Ravens fan, I appreciate your use of the word "festivus."

[0Smasher]

back in medeval ages females were given away by the father (or mother if father is away on war parade) to those deemed worthy usually a friend or someone of power (they rarely get to choose) or if it is a dishonorable father to sell the daughter to someone to work in a brothel (a whore house) or option C they run away

didnt things suck back then

[FullMetalLineage]

Heh, they've got more hippos here too...lol for roasting Brahne XD

But yeah, used to collect Mighty Max and watch the show, they were awesome!

[FullMetalLineage]

Heh, theyve got more hippos around here too...BOOM BRAHNE, ROASTED!!!

But yeah HCBailly, Mighty Max was awesome, even watched the TV show when i could too :D

[Qcrocker89]

I usually let Freya win. The accessory you get if she wins is pretty nice.

[legendary071]

lol festivus 4 the rest of us...nice seinfeld reference

[GDGaming]

5:45

At first I thought Zidane was going to threaten to create suicide if Garnet didn't go out with him or something.

[Francois424]

Scene changes around 7:40... Steiner : "Please Princess. You might actually enjoy it." -- Garnet : "Okay..." -- Freya : (I wonder if Zidane has improved his skills...). Oh man you're starting to rub on me HC...

[gido0471]

...i've heard of mighty ducks...i had those action figures

[TheApprenticeSage1]

Gosh, I love that music!

[NecromaticSunshine]

Caught the Back to the Future reference. (Great Scott)

[Xenxe777]

they did but they were mostly all marionettes...they served the same purpose

[thekyster07]

It plays that song later, when you're fighting a SPECIAL BOSS.... :)

[ButcheredAtBirth77]

back to the future reference.

[johnc310]

Wow! Things really have changed.... Princess Beatrice has been in a film!

[mikottaja]

OK Hcbailly your jokes are getting filhty FILTHY I TELL YOU!

[mikottaja]

OK Hcbailly your jokes are getting filty FILTY I TELL YOU!

[meagsIZbeast]

lol at seinfeld referance

[hyperguy152]

I played with Mighty Max.

[RockBanned]

Anyone notice that the noise that happens at around :25 is the same exact sound you hear in Chrono Trigger when you pick up an item and what not?

[MrMinkStar]

Screw Mighty Max, STREET SHARKS BABY!

[jamminjago]

I admit it, I had the lava lord set. It was a good show.

[yugitashi]

To be honest, I was more of a Power Ranger type person, however I do remember watching Mighty Max back when it was on tv before I headed to school. Man that show did scare me at times with all the crazy monsters, especially with those lava creatures. If I remember correctly the show was never completed. Man I hate when they do that.

[VincentValentine52]

HCBailly: Oh, they're releasing squirrels into the festival. That's great.

But HCBailly, they are KILLER SQUIRRELS!!!

[SchlossRitter]

Only Palom gets to show the girls his Fire Rod.

This game makes so many references, it even references some future games.

This isn't your kingdom, Steiner. People there are free to insult your royalty.

Mighty Max? A bit after my time. Transformers, Voltron, GI Joe (plastic), etc were hot in my day, along with LEGO and Construx.

"This is heavy"

Has something happened to the Earth's gravitational pull?

Events like this in an RPG are nice to break up the usual grind.

[tgva8889]

@Akuatwirl Oh my hod, it's you! I knew I'd seen you somewhere!

[RedmagePower]

except 1 and possibly 3... I'm not sure...

[Codeski1]

Nice Seinfeld reference there

[derangedband]

haha royal action figures. the mix is crazy. just imagining the queen Elizabeth II action figure.

[BeeblesTV]

When will HCbailly show us HIS telescope?

[KyuubiNoKitsune007]

@BeeblesTV in the year 9999

[NayrZetto]

I loved the mighty Max toys they were awesome. when you started taking about the toys and then mention mighty max i was lik. NO WAY! AWESOME.

[ChouhouinNeko]

i remember watching the mighty Max tv show

[weeklywalkthrough]

i love this part of the game

[iniudan]

Has anyone calculated how many favorite part he got in the game until now ? =p

[weeklywalkthrough]

@iniudan the whole game is excellent who can choose a favorite part i know i cant i always get to into this certain part alone lol

[futureechoes1]

im sure the music during the festival was an unused score from ff8

[trainman666]

Nice Back to the Future reference there HC. I must be honest, I didn't collect Mighty Max action figures. I collected Hot Wheels, and such back when I was younger. Then I collected plastic bottle caps for a while (now the only bottle caps I collect now are Sobe bottle caps) Matter of fact, I didn't even know about Mighty Max. Therefore I never watched it as a kid, and thus didn't collect the merchandise.

[TheNoobExperiment]

Remember to use Aspect of the Monkey HCBailly.

[Gagavision9000]

I hate Garnet....so much.

[JDJeffery]

What's Mighty Max?

[PrettyDecentGamer]

Mighty Max, MIGHTY MAX!

Don't worry HCBailly, I collected them too.

[InusSonCurtis]

@PrettyDecentGamer I didn't collect the toys. Althought I DID watch the cartoon relgiously. "JUMP NOBLE CHICKEN!" "I am NOT a chicken, I am a fowl!"

[cycon0]

The Festival of The Hunt music sounds very very similar to FFVIII's Dollet mission music. Both epic songs!

[Disc1995]

@cycon0 it also alot like the mission in ffx were the crusaders bring all the sinspawn together

[missinglink1020]

just for this lp instead of saying better than a sharp stick in the eye or better than a guardian acorn you should say 'better than getting a birthday telegram from zinedine zidane' =D

[DistXxTheXxRose]

Hey, HC, are you going to be making any sexuality jokes or gender jokes when a certain... feminine silver haired person comes along if you know what I mean? And to anyone else; no, not Sephiroth.

[QtipRocketLauncher]

@DistXxTheXxRose We will, we will... Err... Spoilers, I guess.

[Alchemydude667]

So, far and away, see the bird as it flies by, gliding on the shadows of the clouds up in the sky.

I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings, leave them now, and see what tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me? Was it fate that brought us closer now or leaves me behind.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine, and adding on the layers of memory.

Melodies of life, come circle 'round and grow deep in our hearts...as long as we remember.

[Yenastuundepaspris55]

I wonder what kind of jokes can be made about a ''swamp'' ?

Chocobos... From a good ride to a delicious meal ;)

Also the song in the Festival of the Hunt, is one of the best song in Final fantasy 9 (also one of those I like the most) ! :D ...Just the Epic kind of music, so appropriate for this part :D

Finally... I wonder ? As long as you are ''talking'', with Freya and the Boss Monster... She doesn't get any points, right ? So I guess it's a way to let, say, Vivi win ?

[YoDragonFire]

yay for mightymax!

[Ruesen]

I had that mighty max mountain of terror thing when i was younger. I loved that thing even if I didn't have all the other stuff for mighty max. Would bring in my other small action figures (z-bots namely) and play with it haha.

[dbzfan2k10]

@ Hcbailey Did you know that in Cyric1983's LP of Final fantasy 10, Your youtube name is what he chose to name his bahamut. He said that, to him, you are the king of all LPer's!

[theauthorman123]

Mighty Max was awesome. Does anyone else remember the cartoon of that? Hell, does anyone younger than twenty remember there was ever a male equivalent to Polly Pocket at all?

[theauthorman123]

@theauthorman123 Also, for the record, while Hunter's Chance is an awesome song, it's still not the best in the game (that's reserved for... a certain song later on, in a certain castle whose name references FFII, if you know what I mean).

I always hope for Freya to win. Money is easy enough to get, and Vivi you get a Card, which is totally the most useful thing to get ever, am I right folks?

[theauthorman123]

@Akuatwirl ... Okay, I get the sarcasm, but now I totally wanna see that as an enemy in FFXV. That would be the most awesome random encounter of all time.

[ms18ins]

Hey HcBaily i was thinking... Ouch that hurts... Is there an episode where you talk to the camera so we can see your real face. It would be nice to see the Greatest Lp'er on youtube face.

[eugenehk25]

MIGHTY MAX!!! YEAH!!!!!

[ellichan]

I think I won with Zidane once, but usually I let Freya win, the add-on is more useful than the gil, which is relatively easy to get.

[7thsquare]

This is one of my favorite parts of the game. And, I always let zidane win, because 5000 Gil is important

[gerryd89]

Riding in the back of the caboose?....yeah i failed. lol.

[KentoKaima]

lol the queen toy looks like kick ball with how big her azz is XD,I just find that funny ^_^

[sharplosion1]

"damn, you're ugly"

[glenvillesax2007]

I love the laugh, reminds me of how much I love total recall

[ReloadPsi]

"That was very inconsiderate of you, Zidane. You know how much black mages suck when they're left alone."

[guitarjew93]

Seinfeld reference is win.

[doomswell]

Perhaps you should do a bonus video about how to win the festival or something. I like ot use "Beast Killer" and combo the all the Fangs before fighting Zaghnol.

[Kram0tron]

you should do an LP of chrono cross

[JusanKikan2]

@Kram0tron You are a silly person.

[Triple10X]

@Kram0tron Already done.

[winterwind321]

@Kram0tron he already has

[magickmissileman]

If your Rod is casting Fire you should get that checked out.

[silverknight727]

Heh. Festivus.

[Tempest329]

"Weight has nothing to do with it!" I just love those movies. :)

[PTp1ranha]

The game looks and sounds amazing but I have to say, the characters aren't that likeable so far. Steiner won't shut up about the princess and blames Zidane for everything, meanwhile Zidane doesn't think about anything other than girls (granted he's young), while Dagger and Vivi are in the background. Whenever Vivi's not setting things on fire.

[XxEndlessSorrowxX]

@PTp1ranha That all changes as the story goes on. Trust me, this is one of the best FF.

[Valis77]

2:53 i think they changed the text there originally the translators in my magazine Zidane says "Maybe i can sleep with you tonight" no kidding i think square though that would be too much for younger audience.

2:48 hmm she wants to get high!

[shuddertrix]

7:36 Not late disc 2, more like the middle.

[Ocson]

Yeah definitely don't want the guys at the office getting a hold of those pictures....i mean uh you don't know what you're talking about!

[Shihon42]

I used to collect Mighty Max as well. So that makes two of us I guess.

[BlitzkriegOmega]

hey, you're not the only one with a lone childhood hobby...I collected Gundam Figureswhen I was a kid...my favorite one when I was little was the one with the antlers...I can't remember it's name though...

I'm starting to one up that collection with 1/100 scale models...hey...I'm a child at heart!

[seanfulldark]

actually depends on the situation, for example if you're king, and your daughter has run away with a dragon, you said" I'm looking for a noble knight to slay the dragon!"

and after many many many failed knight, one is victorious, then magically they are married with one kid, and mysteriously he got her eight months pregnant after only knowing her for three weeks. 

[HolyLaguna13]

sleeping weed....

[MatteoGamingroup]

Zidane calls it a fire rod because it burns when he pees.

[bigjew899]

@MatteoGamingroup

Imagine if Garnet grabbed that.

Garnet: Ohh, hard...

[iplayguitarh3ro]

the festival music sounds FFVIII-ish

[lockbreak12]

I collected mighty max too bad it was overpowered by his sister polly

[lilmaster1806]

Will we ever get to see your face HCBailly? I've been wondering since I've watched so many of your LP's

[lonew666]

@lilmaster1806 oh please no! every time i see the face of a LP'r, i loose interest rather quickly.

[Tonberry2k]

For the festival I always try to let Freya win because you get the free Coral (?) Ring and you still get the rare item because Freya joins the party. And since HC got all that cash, there's no reason for all of the money Zidane wins.

[OnionKnight4124]

DAMN YOOOOOOOOU! Dammed Cliffhangers...and right when I really get into it too...oh well I'll always watch.

[ParanoidYoshi]

Back in the day! What day? This is a different world, a different universe; it's not like this happened in the 1100s or something.

[QtipRocketLauncher]

I used to have G.I. Joes, nice try.

[wiimasterplayer]

ok the three battles that HCBailly is talking about are...1. a Girl's obssession on other boys 2. a Girl's parents. 3. when they are PMSing.....ugh...the last one is a war...not a battle....it'll never go away for about thirty years....frightening indeed.

[nathannis]

I loved Mighty Max, glad others seem to remember.

[Urzaran]

Man I loved watching Mighty Max every morning. I wish they had continued the series longer than they did. They kind of left it open. Exo Squad did that too, and Conan the Adventurer. They never did finish BOTS Master either.

[poetesssilverlight]

"Release the hounds!" reminds me of what a boss says in WoW

[QtipRocketLauncher]

@poetesssilverlight The Hound Master in Scarlet Monastery, I think?

[poetesssilverlight]

@QtipRocketLauncher Yep :)

[dndlocke1]

how does that telescope work? it looks mounted into the concrete rail, i mean up and down yeah, but not left or right

[jahnaids]

@dndlocke1 perhaps its like the coaxial gun/support gun on the top of a tank, perhaps it has a slinding mechanism to go left and right

[NurseRekka]

Omg Vivi is like 6, rofl.

[Blackwizard42]

@NurseRekka his really 8

[DevourTheBaby]

Since you don't get any AP from these enemies, wouldn't it to be smarter to equip a thief sword?

[jinoah17emu]

The Absolute POWER!!!

[jinoah17emu]

Oh, no! It's the Hyper Deadly, Super Evil, Mega Devestating . . . Squirrel named MU!!! Yeah, go figure.

[AirPirateCid]

Dude, Mighty Max was awesome! I collected them. lol

[shawnoosept]

I don't know HOW or WHY but I beat the giant monster at the end and Vivi did win...

I was furious. it's like screw you, you won't win!

[Earthbound92]

Vivi got forcefully signed in!? Wow, just like Persona 4.

[MindstormXL]

The Hunters festival kinda reminds me of the Dollet Mission music.

[WhiteNightIIV]

While I didn't collect mighty max, I did collect z-bots.

[teckwerks]

Hmm, Coneheads.

You know it was that movie that made me like Subway

[Coldplay200000]

Don't worry HC, I used to collect Mighty Max as well. I've still got my collection lying around somewhere.

[88blair88]

I love mighty max! I completely forgot about it

[teckwerks]

HC, if you want the coma of all comas...next time you've got a cold, mix Nyquil and Sudafed PE. I remember doing that once and sleeping for 15 hours. But I did feel reeeeaaaally good afterwards. :>

[JohnRayJr]

I thought it would take three episodes to get to this point, not four. Lindblum is enormous!

[belgariontheking1]

Don't you have to earn more points before fighting the zagnol I know its worth a lot of points but I didn't know it was worth enough to actually let you just win be beating it.

[TheRemster]

Yay Back to the Future reference

[SirVyre]

You know, I've always realized that it is incredibly advantageous to let Freya win, but I can't ever seem to let her since the first playthrough. I always equip The Ogre, and I go all out. I mean, Zidane's stance with his Thief Swords is pretty schway, and it feels really bad ass to beat Freya. The music gets my blood running too. If you've got spare time(yeah right), maybe you could showcase in a bonus vid Zidane and/or Vivi(yeah, vivi) winning. I've never seen Vivi win.

[lackin124]

I remember mighty max, I had like 10 of those little fold up things

[MrSteveHazzard]

I had Mighty Max...I'm sure somewhere I still have that big crappy red mountain action set, even...

[Blackdrake1]

I think I watched Mighty Max back in the day, but I can't remember. It's been too long.

[Unclevertitle]

Aww... I wanted to see Vivi running away from the Fang.

Though I think I know who you're rooting for, HCBailly.

[DeamonReader]

I collected Mighty Max action figures but Beast Wars Transformers were my favourite to collect.

[Murkglow]

*Minor Spoilers*

The card Vivi gets isn't unique (though it is somewhat rare, it's the Theater Ship card) and thus it's hardly necessary. Zidane's prize is of course pointless as gill is infinite in this game (from just killing monsters, never mind Synth tricks) which makes Freya's item the best one or most people (as it's a good item and you can't get it for a while otherwise).

[stevesmmr]

mighty max was great! tim curry was hilarious.

[MrJmacjr]

I subbed when i heard the Seinfeld referance.

[Atalantius]

CRY HAVOC, AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!

[InfectedAgent]

good seinfeld reference lol keep it up hc

[masterfulfail]

hc bailly you should have made the reference with the monster in jabbas palace

[tjdude09]

Zidane: Damn, You're Ugly!

Me: WTF I didnt know Duke nukem was in this game!

[Toksyuryel]

@tjdude09 This game references a lot more than just the rest of the FF series. There was a Resident Evil reference back in Lindblum Castle, for example.

[Made4542]

rofl nice FFIV reference about Palom's "Fire Rod" lol sounds vulgar. Who has the biggest telescope? Zidane or Cid? Hahaha

Queen Brahne Doll? Cute? rofl rofl

@ 5:15 nice Ace Ventura reference

Your thinking of the Theater Ship Card HC, I think

[ozzylifeson]

@Made4542 He hates the card game and will not play it for at least the first 2 discs although an extremely valuable and really good accessory up for grabs of course he'll pick the card no offense to anyone who actually picks the card but it's kind of a worst of the rewards imo

[Made4542]

@ozzylifeson I knew that. I was saying he didn't remember the name of the card lol.

[Skinnet1981]

@Made4542 More like Scotty from Star Trek TOS, imo.
