Let's Play Ys 3 - 09 - People of the Ballacetine Castle

[kirchiable]

Ballacetine castle is actually  'Stift Melk' a monastry in austria

[boblabon]

People of the town: Everyone was taken to the Ballacetine Castle

Adol: But everyone I see everyday is still here...

People of the town: Just trust us everyone in the town was taken.

Adol: Why again do I even bother helping you idiots?

[Xenxe777]

I kept wanting him to hit the lamps

[crawdkenny]

Actually, Ballacetine is supposed to rhyme with Palestine. The SNES version just spells it in a convoluted way

[SWAnimus01]

It looks like diplomacy is out of the question here. The entire castle is out to kill you!

[DeceasedCrab]

The castle? Or the People of the Ballacetine Castle?

[AndrewRedroad]

I think ADOL is being duped. I think everyone is tricking him into killing good guys!

"Yeah, see those guys over in the castle over there! They kidnapped the townspeople! Go murder them all!"

"But I can SEE all the townspeople! They're RIGHT behind you!"

[ConcealRise]

An evil cave-in Prompts some blonde exposition Colour me surprised! A mass kidnapping! Only the homeless taken Get that healing ring Seek EDGAR's blessing To BALLACETINE CASTLE Off with you, ADOL Anything kills you In BALLACETINE CASTLE Cutbacks taking place

[MagikGimp]

I was about to say that you're the best DC but then you had to go and ruin it

[DeceasedCrab]

People of the Ballacetine Castle!

[LadyMiaow]

Wow, the People of the Ballacetine Castle -hate- you.

[BygPhattyPlus]

The "People of the Ballacetine Castle" must be really awesome to do so much damage to a max lavel Adol!

Ys III. Also known as "I Wanna Be the Guy" in RPG form!

[TrueSoreThumb]

If only the max level was something more reasonable, so the game wouldn't assrape you.

[Shaderaygun]

Holy Crap. The Ballacentine castle is actually Castlevania. Right down to the stairs and candle sticks.

[Ariamaki]

I misheard something, but now I know I would totally brush my teeth with "A Tribe called CREST."

[darkueki]

Crayon Warrior Shuto Dan might say otherwise DC. The PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE are wracking you DC, even when you are at max level. I am guessing Ys 3 doesn't have post-game stuff?

[DeceasedCrab]

Shuto Dan is delirious with his own delusions of herodom. I don't answer to crayon slammers.

[Meowthnum1]

That earthquake towards the beginning sounds like what I imagine the host from Super Smash TV would sound like if he were giving a psychotic, clown-esque laugh. "BIG MONEY! BIG PRIZES! I LOVE IT!! HAHAHAHA"

[lordminsc24]

Holy murder Batman!

[TheSquidapus]

Actually, I'm starting a strong group called Acid House Strings. Granted Acid House was horrible, but it sounded cool... I need a life.

[TheArcadion]

This is for the people of the Ballacetine Castle.

It's coming back around again.

[Dagos4444]

Is there also a Ballacetine Village somewhere? Or is it just a murderous castle?

[Icerama108]

Mountain Maniac proved how crazy you are.

[link41523]

Referring to your previous video of the item fanfare music...

You just got the

BATTLE shield and

Now you're gonna die!

Also the People of the Bellacetine Castle would make a great band name. Somebody should form it. Right now would be an acceptable time.

[PopeParty]

To say that galbalan could kill "24" people would be a overstatement.

[CapumOfOuttaSpace]

I'm eating yellow corn chips.

[dismalelysium88]

I was thinking of the name "The Villagers of Redmont", but I ended up getting YMCA stuck in my head and nothing was right in the world.

[SchlossRitter]

People of the Ballacetine Castle. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Whatever happened to the drink Mellow Yellow? Replaced by Surge? Which was replaced by Vault? Whatever: they'll never be as big as Mountain Dew.

Mr. Gardner apparently makes a horrible guard. Then again, only the (more) useless people have been captured.

And, the game suddenly takes a turn for the brutal...

[MrNoobed]

I sense a Ballacetine ga taosenai?

[vorpalseraph]

Wow, Dogi can dig very fast.

[parnash]

@vorpalseraph Well, Dogi is known as Dogi the Wallcrusher.

Case in point: "I'm Dogi, the Wallcrusher. Wanna get your walls crushed?"

I WISH I was kidding. Just play/watch the first game. He plows through a wall.

[DarknessDragon11]

the people of the Ballacetine Castle... That could be a book!

[mynameisnotalfredo]

DC, did you totally make A Tribe Called Quest reference? You have gained even more of my respect.

[LaZodiac]

If I had any musical talent, I'd find a way to remix some of this game's awesome music and name the band making it "The People of the Ballacetine Castle"

I'm honestly surprised it HASN'T happen yet. It seems so obvious, and with such good music it must have afew remixs.

[TheAkatsuki357]

all Final Fantasy games stole from this

[BlackBobby69]

Not knowing anything about this game: Couldn't you use your healing ring (assuming it regenerates) in such situations? Isn't it better to spend some ring power than to run around with a quarter of your health bar for 5 minutes before getting killed?

[DeceasedCrab]

Ring doesn't grow on trees!

[doppleganger4827]

I still got the band name "Knife Fiesta" stuck in my head. The PotBC does sound catchy, funny enough. I was trying to think of what you could call fans of the band. "Ballacetinians", easily enough, but I thought "Pot Heads" would be more amusing.

[DravenNightcrawler]

Apparently the people of the Ballacetine Castle don't believe in opening doors.

[limdul]

The Music of the Ballacetine Castle - it's awesome, truly. :-D

[danieldb631]

Maybe like, "DeceasedHeadcrab, I am!" No wait. "DeceasedCrab, it is I!" No wait. "I am Huzzah!" No-no-no. Way off. You're right. You'd just sound crazy.

[nomon00]

Oh my god, the people of the Ballacetine Castle have replaced the villagers with clones!

[MCBooga]

I don't think kidnapping a town's homeless population and holding them for ransom is the best of tactics.

[RSCNyx]

Rock on, People of the Ballacetine Castle!

Also, holy cow, this game is suddenly hard.

[DMetroneis]

Funny, I could have sworn that you have opened with "It is I, DeceasedCrab!". Several times, in fact.

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

The people of the Ballacatine castle arent very good kidnappers.

[YubiShines]

All characters should be coloured like Fiestaware!

[Illogicality]

Bonus points if they are actually made of Fiestaware. The radioactive kind, so they cause pain to everyone around them.

Just like every NPC in this game! Except instead of radioactivity, they only have stupidity.

[uberspear865]

so.. everyone was taken to the ballacetine castle except for everyone minus 4 useless creeps?

Maybe it was opening night at a concert...

[FMagl]

I've been wondering from the start what sort of adjective "Ballacetine" is supposed to be. Is or was there some nation called Ballacetinium near Redmont? Is the castle made out of Ballacet? Is this the name of some architectural style?

Frankly, I think the people're a bunch of crazy squatters who found a trove of expensive clothes, weapons and armor, which they use to harass nearby villagers.

Very Ballacetinian of them, I suppose.

[DeceasedCrab]

Errr... it's a Noun. It's a named place. Ballacetine Castle.

[FMagl]

Surely the name means something, though, right? Aren't castles usually named for things which exist?

I mean, sure, we can chalk this up to inbreeding among royalty (actually, that rather handily explains the whole "summon Galbalan" thing), but it seems to me that there should be some answer. It's almost like someone just sat down at a desk, wrote a random word down, and said "here is the name of McGaya's castle."

That sort of thing would never fly in Middle Earth.

[Chworktap]

You mean, like WIndsor Castle? Or Larnach Castle? Named for how Windsorian and Lanarchish they are, perhaps?

[FMagl]

Larnach is named for the man who had it built and Windsor Castle is likely named for Windsor. (I am told it is quite Windsorian.)

[ratboy2713]

I had a cruel english teacher that told use when answering the phone "it's me" is incorrect and that "it is I" is the proper phrasing.

So to answer your question, pompous english teachers speak like that

[Supertaco117]

Oh god I couldn't help but laugh at how everyone who was in a house was still there, despite being taken by The People Of The Ballacetine Castle

[blackswan707]

The People of the Ballacetine Castle can only kidnap nameless NPCs who happened to be walking outside, apparently. I don't think they're very good at mass kidnapping, especially if Mr. Gardner and a couple of kids can chase them away.

[KeithChill]

Ballacetine Castle 2: The Ballacetine strike back

[vlad48329reborn]

open your next video by saying "it is I! DeceasedCrab!"

[KabukiDood]

I highly recommend using the healing ring outside of boss fights. Killing monsters gets you a bit of extra ring power, and it keeps you from having to blow your herb so early.

[iiZet]

It's so weird having the main character actually talk in a game...

[Jerails]

A hundred fifty health.

Removed from you in two hits!

Heaven help the maxed.

Not as good as your usual haiku expert, but I had to try.

[pkmnfrk]

People of the Ballacetine Castle? Would that be totally awesome? Do I even need to....

axe?

[MrSquidon]

Wow, that difficulty curve.

It's like a step slope followed by a jagged cliff of death and misery.

[gamezerox]

looks like you lost the BATTLE...get it?

...

*leave quietly*

[jippenfaddoul]

Looks like you lost the battle...

~puts on sunglasses~

and the war.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

[IamDarkMetaknight]

If I referred to myself as "I," anything, I'd probably be called a pretentious prick.

-----

Also, the "Battle" items are probably made of anger and conflict given form.

But they can only be smithed by a tribe really angry manly men.

The last of their kind was smitten by the US army.

He was referred to as the "Mountain Maniac"

[Patashu]

Falcom Sound Team JDK made a great mix of the song that's in this place.

[Jigglysaint]

No one expects the People of the Ballacetine Castle!

[KrazyKupo]

The cave in sounded awefully like someone trying to start their car.

[Nagoragama]

Music so awesome

[djKanda]

I have the battle shield, not could possiblly go wr- oh crud.

[TheHelldragon]

I like how the game suddenly makes a huge jump in difficulty. It's like one of the programmers goes, "Sir, we think that this game could actually be beaten," and the guy in charge is like "CRAP. Fix that, QUICK."

Also, wow, Chester, that is totally a great plan. Let's summon Satan to murder this one guy. Casting cost: EVERYONE ELSE EVER. (Flying and trample included.) I wonder if Chester ever thought out this plan. Probably not. "YEE HAW, HELLFIRE! I'm in!"

[FwippDeathspeeder]

He's trying to win the game with an Abyssal Persecutor, without having a means to kill it.

[Redfordcrate]

Now with the new smash single "I'll break your heart in a jerk house full of axes".

[kawaiininjakat]

Well, I was always down with joining a bad. Just need a guitarist, a bassist and a bitchin' synth player.

I have to say the Engrish name for that castle is much cooler than what it's actually supposed to be called. Ballacetine just sounds bad ass.

[MrKurtus]

"Why would you like to be a crayon"

I'm glad that you pronounced it right.

its "cray-on"

not "cran"

[DeceasedCrab]

I said cray-on. Who the hell says cran? Cranon? Are you serious.

[DarkReaper1994]

My mom pronounces it as "crown".

She then proceeds to flip the hell out whenever I tell her that she is, in fact, wrong.

[Nightsaber100]

i don't know if the people of the youtubian castle have realized this, but you can easily farm EXP by taking one of those wizard dudes and sitting riiiiight inside their spawn range. Duck down, keep swinging your sword and get something to drink cause they can't hit you but it takes a long time to max level.

[PocketEmerald]

As soon as you said you heard a welder, I had horrible, horrible flashbacks. Years of therapy gone down the drain. It hurts, DC, it hurts.

[grenadier42]

ithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsit­hurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithu­rtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurt­sithurts

[noahsan]

I have heard you say "It is I, DeceasedCrab!"

You sir have now been called out on your shenanigans!

[DeceasedCrab]

Ballacetine.

[DimJim12]

I'm pretty sure referring to yourself using your online alias would be rather strange.

[xerolimitsx]

The People of the Ballacetine Castle have the right to brag: their name is just to cool.

[DeceasedCrab]

Missing an "o" in "too" there, chief.

[IlGreven]

What if he meant that their name was only used as a cooling device?

[KittyCatTV]

I just have to wonder... why the suddenly super mega increase in difficulty. Is it like they had other areas they had to take out of the game and then left this one as is, or are all the games like this?

[DeceasedCrab]

All the Ys games do this, and you haven't seen just how far they'll go.

[dMITIC]

all the ys games have that sudden increase in dificulty, but then when you get the strongest weapon n' armor "the battle ones" the dificculty goes away

wanna play ys 7 in english T_T

[pholtos]

Oooooh...Ouch @ the end.

[Illogicality]

You should totally say "It is I, DeceasedCrab!"

Wear a cape while doing it.

Do that insane laugh thing, too.

It will be ten times more brilliant than this silly Youtube makeover.

[Anthip]

Holy geez! The PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE sure messed poor Adol up! Who lives in such a deadly place?!

[DeceasedCrab]

Why, the People of the Ballacetine Castle do.

[Superpiper123]

My life bar! What have you done to my life bar, people of the Ballacetine Castle?

[Jigglysaint]

Nobody said this game was Ys-y. Especially not the People of the Ballacentine Castle!

[cluckeythe2]

PEOPLE OF THE BALLCETINE CASTLE!!!

[Deckof51]

Well, you do usually say "I'm DeceasedCrab"... That's one step away from "It is I! DeceasedCrab".

[scatman68604]

love this game

[derschlauepeter]

PEOPLE

OF

THE

BALLACETINE

CASTLE

are actually the most evil thing you had to fear this far. Although I wonder how often you completed the game this far, knowing where everything is gonna be.

Great job on this LP, got me interested in the Ys series.

[UrlynVinx]

Other awesome band names: Sometime After Midnight Call Me Ishmael Jester Skull Cardboard Palace Toothpick Legacy of the Wizard (why not?) Acts of Lunacy Punctuation! (because there's not enough of it) OK, some of these are just for laughs, but I do like a few of em. "Everyone was taken away, especially this shopkeeper right here." Yeah, that comment made my day. Kudos, DC, keep up the good work.

[ZarroTsu]

PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE TRACK LISTING: 1. Whiest or Yeist? 2. Red, White and BATTLE 3. Roberto, where art thou? 4. Query: Quarry? 5. Lovely box of Crayons 6. [B[B[Box]x]x] 7. People of the Ballacetine Castle 8. People of the Ballacetine Castle II : GALABAN's stupor 9. Four marry Statuettes 10. 65535 and beyond 11. Grind like a Mo-Fo 12. This game is sadistic

[DeceasedCrab]

I totally want to hear this album now.

[zebezd]

Me too! I bet those songs would all be amazing!

[wetdesert]

Hilarious!

[DrolKeegEht]

Wait. Wait. Wait. So, Chester's family gets killed, and so to exact his revenge, he sneaks into the villain's army? Who does he think he is, Char?

Great, now Chester is going to drop a meteor on the planet. Just perfect.

[parnash]

Edgar: 'No way Adol, it's too risky, it's not like you haven't defeated two evil god-like creatures in two games before this one. But it's still too risky for you.'

[TheJillers]

You know, it took me a bit, but the music to this game reminds me of the music from Lagoon.

[UrlynVinx]

This whole GAME reminds me of Lagoon. Same action-oriented combat and leveling up, style of music, item system...about the only thing really different is that Lagoon is an overhead view and YsIII is a side-scroller.

[Jigglysaint]

Well at least Lagoon's item fanfare music sounds quite a bit less Metroidy than Ys's

[Jigglysaint]

Let's make DC play Lagoon! Wait, on second thought, I enjoy being alive.

[Harotham]

The world needs more people who introduce themselves with "it is I."

[merkwuerdigich]

Damn you DeceasedCrab.

[Icerama108]

Edgar can't kill Galaban! He doesn't have armor and weapon upgrades that don't change his aperance dispite the vast difference between them in the inventory screen. GOSH!

[vazette]

wow, now I want to form a band just so we can call it "the people of the ballacetine castle"

[Fantasizek]

People of the Ballacetine Castle.

[angelking102]

grim indeed

[angelking102]

thx dcrab,PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE will follow me to the grave..

[wedgeff7]

*Fan Band-Name

[wedgeff7]

You are correct, that is an awesome fan-game.

[drakewraith]

I'd like to be a crayon to color the world.

[DeceasedCrab]

PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE

[Nixitur]

@DeceasedCrab *epic guitar riffs*

No blonde people in our band, though, because they are jerks.

[Mynameisnotooo]

BEOPLE OF THE CALLACETINE PASTLE

[nickfizzle]

WOO! YS MUSIC!

[ChunkyChief]

YEAH!

[gameandroy]

THE BEST YS 3 TRIBUTE BAND OF ALL TIME!

[FrostPegasus]

@DeceasedCrab You're odd. Really, really odd. *nod*

[Sephu]

@DeceasedCrab I'm not sure... But I think you may be fascinated with the PEOPLE OF THE BALLACETINE CASTLE!

[DeceasedCrab]

I'm down with the PotBC.

[Triggerhappy938]

I wonder what genre PotBC would be?

[GogglesMcGee]

Terrors of the Illvern Ruins will be your first hit song?
