 All right, we are back for another hour of Chrono Trigger. We're at the beginning of the game. We just rescued Queen Lien, Queen Lienie, and let's do some shopping for our new party members. We've got Karate GIs, we've got to get Marl up the speed with equipment and all that. Then we get to do the exciting shore of re-equipping everything. Everybody's favorite part of every LP. Some people deftly edit that stuff out. I will not be doing that because, you know, I don't really care. Yeah, I don't like to keep a lot of equipment. I like to sell everything, unless it's like elemental stuff, like the vests you get later in the game. Certain helmets, certain accessories and stuff like that I like to keep, especially obviously the gold earring and the gold stud. Those are extremely useful. Really? Do I have to fight these guys? Are you kidding? Man, that's a little bit of a chart. Wow! I can't one-shot that guy with Chrono. Okay. It's a little surprising. Anyway, we are triumphantly heading back home. And I can't possibly see what would happen wrong at this point. So, you know, our adventure should be over, right? All's well that ends well. Yes, we're doing so far so good. We've got everybody. We're just heading back to the portal. Let's get a move on. There it is. Ta-da! It's a pinwheel. Oh. Luca's great. I don't know if you say so. Here we have the Star Trek, as they say, Technobabble to a certain extent. It's streamlined a little here. But it is still kind of blah, blah, blah. It's getting pretty weird. Let's head back at our own time. Let's go! So, we're heading home. It's still in the spooky. It's still very spooky. The novelty has not worn off yet of traveling through time. I do enjoy the further you play the game, like the shorter those little sequences get. It's like the game understands like, okay, you've seen this like three dozen times. We don't want to make you watch it again and again. Yeah, she had fun. We had a fun date. That's cool. Escort you home. All right, let's go. Why do you need me? Don't you know where you live? Bring your own ass home. I'm just kidding. All right. Anything new? Can I buy anything from this guy? That'd be cool if I could. Yes, I can. Fuck it. Let's get the load sword, even though it's only an upgrade of three, by the way. Hell no. I wonder if that comes up in the trial. I don't think it does. I think it does actually. Doesn't Melchior get called in as a witness? He attempted to sell something. Yeah, that's one bummer about this game is you have to go in and equip stuff yourself. It's not like, I think even the Lufia 2 does that, doesn't it? Where it allows you to equip. It's been a long time since I've played Lufia 2. It's been like four or five years. So I've been meaning to play that again. That might be a good one for a let's play. Let's see if I can get it again. I can beat these guys. Look at this. Both of us. This race is bullshit. I got to stop here and wait for these guys to catch up. What is this, Road Rash 64? Where's the weapons? Where's the brutality? Come on, Green Ambler. Fuck yeah. Let's get out of here. I don't know what music that is. All right. And here, if you got to go, have her meet mom. Now where was that? Have her meet mom. Have her meet the cat. The cat approves. And then you go upstairs and you go quote, unquote, take a snooze while mom is right there downstairs. Because that's real classy. Anyway, the real reason I did that is get our HP back up. Not for any perverse terrible reasons or anything like that. So let's make our way back to the castle in a squirter home. Real riveting. I can see why some people think this game might get off to kind of a lousy start, so to speak. I wonder if there's a tab over here like there is in the other side. That would be nice. And yeah, it is actually pretty important that you get some battles in with Marl. Because Marl and Chrono have some of the best dual techs in this game. Let's see if I've earned any. No, not yet. Ice Sword and Ice Sword 2, which you learn later on, are bad ass spells. They are excellent against bosses, especially Ice Sword 2. Once you get to like Gigagaya and like the bosses much later on, so useful. Tremendous. You gotta take advantage of these opportunities to raise those tech points while you can. Really helps out. Anyway, I'm here drinking Jameson Caskmates. This is the kind of whiskey. See, I don't bother cutting whiskey with ice when it's Jameson or Telemore Dew or Two-Gingers or really cheap stuff, because it really doesn't matter. You're just drinking. I hate to say it, but you're just drinking it to get a buzz going. Excuse me. But if you have nice stuff. Alright, her level's up. That's gonna help us. But if you're drinking nice stuff, you have to cut. It's responsible for your investment. If you pay like $55, $60 for a bottle of scotch, you gotta ice that shit. You gotta put some ice in your glass. There's a chemical reaction that happens that's beyond my understanding of chemistry. But it adds to the effect of the drink and how your palate reacts to it and such. Oh no, they took it the wrong way. They think I abducted her because she disappeared. The Chancellor's spaz attacks always make me laugh. He jumps 30 feet into the air. Oh no, we're surrounded by clones, I guess. What? What did I do? Oh shit, we got a big music change. We got a big setting change. Look at this pixel art. Look at that background. That is cool-looking. You did not see much stuff like this back in the day. It was really creative-looking. And now, suddenly, we're in a courtroom. Very interesting. I remember the first time I played this, I was like, What in God's name is this? This is a courtroom? I did not see this coming. Really creative. And it's not doing stuff- I hate to drag Final Fantasy VI into this, but it's not doing stuff for the sake of doing stuff. This fits perfectly. There's a very good reason for this trial. It's because they are under the impression that Chrono abducted Marley, the princess. Marl, I can't decide on what the pronounce her name is. So, let's do this. So, everything, every little thing you did. Yeah, she did. What? Who's saying shit? Who's talking smack? I don't think there's any way to avoid this, actually. If there is, let me know in the comments if you've ever avoided bumping into her. Or if there are sets. There's no way around that fact. Just to build a case against you. Yeah, see, drunk's character is at the core of this case. So, every little thing. The first time I played this, I took the guy's lunch. I didn't give a shit about the girl's cat. I just did. I was impatient at the candy stand and all that sort of stuff. All that stuff comes back to haunt you right here. Looks like they're buying it. Who is this judge? That's not the king. So, who is that guy? He's lit underneath his face to make him look creepy. Nope, not at all. Yeah, I'm a lame-oid. I'm a lame-ass where I do all the right things and do all the right answers and stuff like that. Get fool me, dear me. Oh, yep, I went for the pendant. Now, if you wait around long enough, does she go and get it herself? Because I've waited around quite a long time and I don't remember her ever getting it herself at any point. So, I think that's something you have to do. We're already at the... That's a short trial. We're already at the verdict here. What? Guilty. Fuck you. I don't think I've ever gotten not guilty all the way across the board. Despite all that stuff. I've always had one person say I was guilty and that person can go to hell and stay there for all I care. There's a lot worse things I could say. God, I've got two people that think I'm guilty. Is this guy going to think I'm guilty? Okay, there we go. There's the winner. And it literally... It utterly does not matter what you think I am. I don't give a shit. I wipe my ass with what you think about if I'm guilty or not guilty. Screw you. All right, not guilty, but... Three days of solitary confinement because I ran off with her. What the hell kind of justice system is that? That's garbage. Doesn't she take some responsibility here? They're not even going to question her or anything like that? She's just not a factor? I guess that's part of the... part of the schism they wanted to build between the king and his daughter. So there you go. Oh, so dramatic. Yes, we must pan up and see our awesome stained glass window again. And again, more awesome visuals. With this bridge high up in the mountains. So cool looking. To give the feeling of desolation and hopelessness. Krono's really screwed. Look at how depressed Krono looks. That's some great artistic stylings there with the kick them forward. The story of Krono himself is a little interesting to me because he's evidently... especially according to the PS1 cutscenes. He's like some kind of... buffed out... security. Some kind of buffed out swordsman because they show him working on his technique in his front yard in the game's intro. For the anime intro thing for the PS1 game. But yeah, now I'm in jail. So I don't know if Krono is established that he's a badass or if he becomes a badass or if he's a badass right now at this point in the game. Or what? If he's just learning as he goes. Here's what I've got so far. Is there anything I can do here? Not really. You lousy felon. I'm not lousy. Wow, time moves by very quickly here. I think if you bug these guys enough one of them gets impatient with you and comes in and tries to kick your ass and gets his ass kicked. And Ulysses Estog just wandered in here gave me a look and sat down. Hey, wait a second! Where did he get his sword? Was that in the bag? Here we go, let's take out this guard. We're good about calling other guards. Alright, we at least get a little more experience points fighting these guys. And this one only opens halfway for some reason. Never quite understood that. But here we go. Now we wander around the jail cell parts. I don't think I want to go that way yet. Let's explore this side. And take out these blue shields where you literally just have to sit here until they get out from underneath their shields. And then you kick their ass and do major damage. They do cowardly little attacks from behind their shields like throw stuff at you and kick you and jab you and stuff. Just gotta wait for them, be patient. You get a lot of experience points from those guys so you can definitely come back and grind here. Let's stay on this side and see if I can find anything else. I think there might be... Can I... Oh, yeah, we just... We've got more skeletons and stuff to fight, right? Isn't that what this is? Oh, just one? A descendant? Or decadent? Yeah. Sorry, my eyes are... crossed. They're going... Is this another one that's gonna open halfway? Motherfucker, if you're in on the other side you can go out that way though, right? I think. Oh, those guys don't come back? I thought they would come back. Alright, now let's explore this other building. Yup. Fights. More grinding. I don't know, so what you want about the battle music here... It almost goes without saying that you're going to get sick of the battle music when you're playing a JRPG because it comes and goes so often. Oh, yeah, and then here's the game, like, allows you to use stealth. The guy looks away... Oh, he found me. Kind of pointless, because I want to fight the guy anyway for the experience, but it does allow you the opportunity to sneak past him if you can. Which is kind of nice. But, um... No, battle music is the worst... Oh, that's what you do. You don't sneak past him. You just avoid a battle and knock him out James Bond style. Kind of like in GoldenEye where you use your karate chop and knock the guy out. Sure, let's save this poor sap. How's it going? Oh, hey, it's Fritz. It's the guy that runs the thing. That's cool. There's more stuff back here, I'll bet. And a treasure. Nope, do these things come alive? Alright, a bronze mill. I could really use that. Any kind of armor upgrade would be much appreciated. Yup, these guys come alive. Frampton comes alive. Yeah, Frampton comes alive was a little before my time, to say the least. Uh... Yeah, I like to ramble about music a lot on these, um... What? That didn't kill him? I like to ramble about music a lot on these videos. I'm trying to think of what I've been listening to lately. It's kind of, uh... I'm kind of annoyed lately because I just, uh... did a fresh install of Windows on a new hard drive. I've got an SSD hard drive now instead of, uh... the traditional, like, discreeting... I don't know what the correct terminology is. Old, like, Western digital hard drives. Now I've got a Samsung SSD. They're awesome. They're speedy. They're fast. Let's try the other side. I know if I go down here and then I go... and the other stairwell from over here, I'm curious to see what's down here. I always like to explore everything. So let's see what's... what's down here, if anything. I like to explore... It's tedious, but I like looking at everything. Is this guy even going to notice me? What a dumbass. Anyway, I have a fresh reinstall... Oh, nice. Some loot. Fresh reinstall for Winamp. So I've lost all my stats for all the music I've listened to. Oh, this guy. Okay, fun. This will give me some experience hopefully. My previous... Uh oh. That didn't work. Oh boy. Oh, he missed, thankfully. My previous install on my other hard drive for Winamp. This guy misses a lot. The whiff. Had all my stats for Windows Going back to early 2013. Ouch, that was a lot of damage. So it's... I like having those stats because it allows me to remember what I was listening to and he doesn't go away. He just runs away instead of fading into its obscurity. Like a beat-em-up flunky. But, um... Yeah, it kind of sucks because I can look up like oh, Summer of 2014. I was listening to a lot of I don't know, Flaming Lips and Ween and all that stuff. Oh yeah, I remember that song. I forgot about that song. Let's listen to that now. Or Winter of 2015. I was listening to a lot of Eson and Ulver and Such and Such had a new album then. Like 2017. Ulver had a new album this year. It's really good and I'm not saying I won't remember it on YouTube. It won't have my Winamp stats, but it would be really nice to be able to carry those over to my new Winamp install. But I don't... There we go. So you gotta rack up some tech points and experience here. It would be nice to be able to carry those over and everything I've read I have the exact same Windows 10 install and nothing seems to be working. I can't get the same stats just to appear for my Windows install for Winamp and it really kind of sucks. So... It's kind of lousy, so I'm starting fresh with a new stats. It's interesting because I realize how much those statistics... Let's fight these guys again. Well, yeah, sure why not. Easy experience, but it made me realize how much I was letting stats dictate what I was listening to because I put all my music on one big playlist. I'm sure I've explained this before in previous LPs, but I put all my stuff on one big playlist and I just hit random and then I scroll through and hit next about 75 times before I finally settle on something that I want to listen to, but the big reason I did that was because I thought or the big reason I skipped I don't want to go there yet. I think there's other places I can explore first, like up here. Oh, this allows me to climb I can eventually get some other stuff. This allows me to climb outside in the wall. Yes, it does. I thought this was a really nice bonus. Yeah, climb down. That's where you want to go because you can climb anywhere up to a certain extent, up or down. There we go. Now we get the treasure in here and it's a shelter and those are obviously extremely useful. So yeah, no, when I was flipping through random games uh-oh, there we go. I was flipping through random games or games, random songs I would see, oh, I've already listened to this one 75 times or I just listened to this last week and I would skip it and say, alright these guys again I would skip it and skip it some more and now that I don't have that there it's like, oh I'm listening to a lot of stuff again like just the other day welcome to the jungle came on and it's like, you know, like anybody else, I'm really sick of that song but I like it's nice to put it on every once in a while and listen to slash and all that stuff. What's down here? Is there anything down here? Is it a treasure? Here we go. Just listening to slash do his thing is really nice. Oh, there's a dead guy in here. Yikes. That's grim. You undo his blanket and it's just a skeleton falls out. That's pretty dark. Um, um, edge in the smell. Alright, so I've been down there, let's go this way where I'm supposed to go. Yes, that's right. That's how I play RPGs. I got to do everything and go everywhere. Talk to everybody and fight everybody. Let's kick these guys's ass. The only trouble with doing this is that, um, Chrono gets kind of overpowered and way ahead of the other characters once you, uh, get back to him. Like, Chrono's like two levels ahead of Luca and Marl, so here we go. This guy's gonna freak out. He doesn't even try to fight me. And I faint. That's because Luca's right there. You've come to save me, but you did not need my help or I did not need your help. Well, this joint and a magical save point appears. What do you think that means? I think that means that um, yeah, that means that, uh, a boss fight is coming, but I don't need to really use any kind of course I cure to read it. Ah, yes. This is our second big boss fight and the game still insists on uh, of course, five of them. The game still insists on holding your hand a bit and to the, you know, to check that stuff, you can just skip right past it um, so you can go into this blind without all the mid tonics um, but at the same time, you got to understand that the developers wanted people to get far into this game and to have a chance to get sucked into the story. So I admire that. Anyway, here we go with a big um, I don't want to do slash I think Fireworld would be my best uh, well, yeah, I think we're just going to keep it simple. I think we got to get the head first. Yeah, because the head's repairing damage, so 74 compared to the 200 I did there. That's a pretty good ratio. Shouldn't need to use too many replenishments here. I think we just, we're good just using uh, regular physical attacks, especially if they're big attacks like that. Man, I remember getting this far for the first time I know it's a broken record talking about the first time I played this, but there's a big rush getting into this battle the first time, because it's like I'm escaping prison with my friend and yeah, I was I really got into this game the first time I played it. It was uh, and this was really the first RPG I really got into. Unless you consider Adventure for Atari 2600 as an RPG come on, that head's got to go sometime. There we go. Good job, Luca. Next, I think we, yeah do we go after the wheels or the tank itself? I think both. How about both? Yeah, and we're going to need to replenish our health here. Oh shit. We're not doing so good. Yep. Let's make use of those mid tonics we got. Luca needs one too. It doesn't matter if Luca dies because oh you attacked the correct person. Thank you for that. Let's get another mid tonic in there. I already had two before I got to the other mid tonic. That's interesting, or the five other ones. That's interesting, because that's probably all I need. And that's yeah, that's pretty much it's only attack now is just well, there's the missiles there's the and there's a laser that comes out of nowhere. Let's do a good old fashioned fire world. Take this bastard out. Yeah, buddy, only 40 experience points, but 500 gold. I'll take that. Here's a great scene right here. Yeah. So cool. Great sprite work there. And fix it quickly. That's going to backfire. More great sprite work with the Chancellor and his awesome facial expressions. And now we walk across these jack, walk across these jack asses to get back in. That is a great touch. Love it. And again, I think that's another chest. If you leave it alone that'll turn into something else in the future. I think don't quote me on that. They're escaping. Yeah, you can't go that way. Or maybe you can. Nope. Nope. They're going to chase me out this way too. Those guys went back to their post. They went downstairs. They're not my problem anymore. Oh, Princess Nadia to the rescue again. Oh, and she's all decked out in her princess garb. Who are you looking at over there on the left? Or is she just like looking away and disgust? That would be kind of interesting. Oh, the Chancellor's back from his near-death experience. There we go. Ah, immediate wardrobe change. Let's get out of here. Well, the other guys just sit there. Alright, so now Yes, the king is disappointed. Foreshadowing other stuff. And we get funneled over to the right. And you know what's over there. We just came from over there to get to here, right? So that means Can I push these guys around? These guys don't even do anything. They're just walking. You guys suck. Yup, that's the only place to go is through this gate. Oh, that's right. The other gate was in the canyon. Never mind. I don't know why there would be a gate out of nowhere over here. I was getting ahead of myself. Let's get the fuck out of here. I don't want to go back to jail. Great. I can't help but laugh when I see that guy's face. Fantastic work there. Alright. See how that sequence there gets a little shorter. That little time-travely sequence. Alright. Where the fuck are we? Yeah, this is a new gate. I didn't mean to say we're going back the same way. Interesting. Another world. So. Give me just a second here. Alright, we're back. Sorry about that. Had some dog issues to attend to, and wow. Where the hell are we? That is some February grade Minnesota snow right there. That is ridiculous. Looks like we can go down here to the Trandome. What the hell is that? Yeah, I got some cash. Cache. Ooh, we got all new stuff. I think we should probably invest in armor. And let's equip accordingly. I don't know why. I would not want to wear an iron suit. That does not sound easy to wear, but let's sell some of this stuff and see if I can get some iron helms and all these karate GIs and all this shit too. Okay, we got about a thousand bucks. What can I get? Yeah, I can only get two iron helms. So who am I going to give them to? Probably Yeah, I can at least afford to have Chrono die, so let's just give it to Luca, whatever. And we'll sell these and see if we can get one more. Nope, it's not going to work. So we're still short. Yep. Can't buy anything else. Just need the helm and the auto gun. So, let's keep going. Save money, they'll do you good. Lab 16 would be a good name for a band or an album or a song or something. Whoa, is that a Chrono trigger reference, dude? Ah, one of my favorite lines in any game ever. If you're looking for food, you lose. I often tell people that coming to my house. And here's another iconic line. But you're still hungry. Complete with a stomach growl. What's going on here? Interesting. Complete with a nice little piano lick there. So where else can we go? We've upgraded our armor. Um, yeah. Lab 16. Nowhere else we can go, so we might as well head down here. Now you gotta watch out for these rats because they will steal shit from you. Mostly tonics, but I've seen them steal others. So shouldn't there be a chest down here? See, that bastard stole a tonic. There are chests hidden here and there that can be tough to find. They're well disguised. And these enemies are interesting. You can... You always want to go after the craters with a physical attack because it'll piss them off. They'll erupt, so to speak. And then, um... Attack each other. I think that one only. Yeah, that one was actually directed at me. Let's do a good old fashioned firewall. Boy, I could really use some new combos here. These are getting kind of old. At least that guy is gone. There we go. That guy should be out of here. Anyway, what else can I ramble about? Just music stuff. The last few concerts I've been to, it's interesting how, um... You know, I'm beginning to understand why classic rock state, you know, FM stations and stuff like that stay on the air as long as they do and stay popular as long as they do. Because it really is very easy. There's a chest right there. Oh, and I can't even get to it because I got blindsided by these guys. But yeah. It's so strange to hear classic... I'm sure I've talked about this before, but now you've got classic rock stations playing everything from Steve Miller Band. Fly like an eagle. And like Eagles Hotel California and Pink Floyd and all this like super mellow 70s stuff. They're playing Rolling Stones. They're playing ZZ Top. All the way through Ozzy and Black Sabbath. And then all the way up through fucking Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Allison Chains, Soundgarden, all that stuff. And it's like there is a big disconnect between some of the music they play. Like they play this like really bluesy fun to listen to like Stevie Ray Vaughn song or they play Black Magic Woman by Santana and then they play like Wood by Allison Chains. Oh nice. This is a good upgrade. Oh, I've already got one. Never mind. Then they play some like majorly depressing. Oh, can I I couldn't get down there. Let's see if I can. Ah mother fucker. I think all he steals is Tonics actually. I don't think he steals anything else. Let's take these guys out. But yeah, it's weird going from like one track being Fly like an eagle and it's like this ultra depressing like drugged up like Lane Staley song. It's just like a little bit of a contrast of styles there found in one place. You know what I mean? It's like having a country station play something from George Jones or Merle Haggard or something like that. Here's the latest from Brad Paisley. It's like no, no, doesn't work. I can understand blending like Garth Brooks with those newer guys. But you don't do the old school Tammy Wynette Whalen Jennings especially Merle Haggard is one of my favorites. You don't do that. You can blend it with like the pop aspect. Now Berserker is an interesting accessory here because I believe that will have you attack no matter what. A physical attack. It'll skip your turn and just do a physical attack. Let's give what should I do here? Might as well give Marl the power glove because all I'm doing is physical attacks anyway. I'm trying to preserve my God. I don't even care about the tonics anymore. Just take a ball. Just lay them out on the table for you. Take them. Man, just slipped by that guy. God, this is kind of an annoying maze, isn't it? Got a chest up here though. Load bow, very nice. See, here we go. Might as well give Marl the power glove There is no avoiding this. I was looking for treasures down there, but I could not find any and I got sucked into this battle. That's some bullshit. Alright, at least I can one hit those guys. But yeah, it's weird for the stuff you grew up with to now be considered a classic rock, so to speak. It's a little strange. And what's funny is that they play the same old overplayed stuff that people have been sick to death of for years. Oh, now we're playing classic rock from the 90s and it smells like Teen Spirit and Enter Sandman. It's like Jesus Christ, aren't people sick of these songs? Is there anybody out there that's like, oh yeah, my favorite Metallica song is Enter Sandman? Is there anybody out there? Anybody? That like thinks that... I just don't understand that. Those songs, you can go to any hockey game, any football game or watch any hockey games. It's always hockey and football. You can hear it in the arena, you can hear them play as they go to commercial. Mariano Rivera's entrance song when he came onto the mound from the bullpen was Enter Sandman. And it's like enough already. I've heard this song too many times. Just erase it from the catalog. Just wipe it off the face of the earth, please. I feel the same way about another song. Bruce Springsteen born in the USA, please just like, delete that song off the face of the earth. It needs to go away. Nobody wants to hear born in the USA ever again for any reason. Please. I don't think Bruce Springsteen... I think Bruce Springsteen would agree with that. Just please do not play that song ever again. Fuckin' hey. Oof. Yeah. Oh, these fucking ghost things. This is gonna be trouble. You can only as far as I know use Kronos... Oh shit, I might be stuck here. Do spells work on this guy? What can I do? I'm stuck with Berserker. Does flametask work? Yeah, I can't I can't access Kronos stuff. He has to use Slash. This sucks. Can I like disable that with an item? What am I gonna do? I'm gonna be stuck in this battle for a long time. Shit, that's no good. Oh no, he's still fucking stuck that way. A heal item does not work. Son of a bitch. I'm stuck. What am I gonna do? Oh, if I had too much to drink I don't know what to do. None of these items are gonna do anything. Yeah, all he's gonna do There are no spells I can do. I mean, I can't do Fireworld. I guess that would work, but I can't access Kronos menu. Jesus, I feel so stupid right now. That's not gonna work, you asshole. Stop doing that. Boy, this was like a bait and switch because you get the Berserker thing here. I don't know if Hypno Wave will work. Oh. That did not do a fucking thing. Okay. Well shit. God, I'm too far gone. I've been rambling for too long I completely lost focus. Son of a bitch. I'm stuck. I'm stuck in an endless battle. Yeah. Anyway, let's talk some more about Bruce Springsteen. I guess I can try Flame Toss. Is that gonna work? Oh shit, it does. Now I feel like a complete moron. I thought Slash was the only thing that killed him and I couldn't get to it because Kronos and Berserker mode. Now he's not taking any damage at all. He's like 50 the lowest he can go against these guys that's really strong. Oh no, never mind. Jynxed it. Now I just have to sit here and wait for God, what a gigantic waste of time this was. I hope you enjoyed that, viewers. This nest drunk gets confused. Jesus. That was a colossal waste of time. How much did that take? How long did that take? That was immensely stupid. Now I need to heal like a motherfucker. Yeah, let's get this thing off. Get it off me. I'll wear a ribbon if I have to. Just get it off me. Christ on a crutch. What was I thinking? Yeah, that dude took all my tonics and I still have like 13 of them. 13 of them. Any treasures? No, I'm not seeing any. There's one. Now we got the toughest opponent in the game coming up here. Not before we got more of these guys. Well at least I'm better prepared this time. Son of a bitch. What a stupid stupid stupid move by me. Immensely stupid. Lack of preparation. At least I know that fire toss works on it now. I thought it was just slat. I've never used anything else other than slats against these guys. We learn something new every day. After that comedy of errors it's time to move on. Oh come on, not more of these things. These are the least interesting enemies in the game. They look cool. But the fact that you have to use a specific tech to get rid of them is really shitty. There we go. See that's what you do. That way you can knock out both at the same time. So this would be a quick battle at least. Yeah I do have the strategy guide for this game. The Nintendo power players guide that tells you all sorts of this stuff. And I guess I should have noticed that what is this guy going to wake up? Is he too hungover? God this guy looks hungover as shit. Looks like me on a Sunday morning. Fucking A. And he's just labeled as mutant. I think he's labeled as tomato mutant in the in the guide I want to say. I should really take a look at the guide and the instruction book for this game. Basically I really only want to get to one specific point in this game before I sign off. I'm getting close to the end of hour number two here. But there is a specific scene I want to get to. It would be a good close up point. Yeah I think those mutants have like 360 hit points which is I think the most for any enemy in this game. Any non boss. And I think there's another one right here. Yep. Just lay in there and bed hungover. I assume that's his bed. That pile of trash is his bed. I'm not sure if that thing is part of his head or if it's a hat. It's a pretty sweet looking hat. I wonder if that's by design. And he's got a kiki scarf there. That's what makes him look like a tomato is that I don't know if those are tomato leaves or Yeah they announced several years ago that a tomato is officially a fruit which is really hard for me to grasp just because of the existence of ketchup. Does that mean ketchup is a kind of jam or a kind of jelly? Because that's what fruit spreads are I'm not sure the process that makes those things you know what they are is consistent with the process of making ketchup. I just know a friend of mine tried to make his own ketchup one time and then he saw how much sugar you had to use and he was like nope I'm not doing that that's a waste of time. It's like I'm never eating ketchup again I've never realized how much sugar is in it. It's pretty funny. But yeah here we go this is the most depressing Look at this barrel of sunshine you get to traverse through. Yes I did. Nothing to care. I don't really care. You know. Can I go up? Thank you. Yeah that's fine. We can handle lunatic robots we're fine with that. I've known a lunatic robot for a long time here and there. Death Peak. That information comes in handy much later in the game. Like hours and hours later. But you're still hungry. What a bummer. Alright now we can afford that auto gun and the well let's sell Hey he did say that. Alright let's un-equip some shit see if I can get some money to get Marl Her Iron Helm that'll really help with this next boss fight. There we go now we got plenty. I don't know why I did that when I can just bounce right back to buy. I'm losing it man I can't can't hang out here much longer. This is why I can't twitch stream if I did it would be an hour at a time I just can't sit in one spot and do one thing. For very long I lose my mind wants to wander off and do other things and I lose focus and what you end up watching ends up not being all that interesting as you're finding out right here. Blah blah blah but yeah oh dynamite will budget okay I want to go back oh yeah where does that lead that's weird. Alright so I think to progress we want to talk to let me through you dipshit there we go. That's right he's an old guy surrounded by a bunch of homeless dudes wearing bags apparently but he's still got a job title he's the director of something or other is that not the right way the dogs are fired up about something oh yeah I'm supposed to go this way I forgot well if I come back dead we'll let you know oops I thought I could do it without yeah as you can see my save state trigger is pressing both L and R at the same time which coincidentally happens to be how I create a save state interesting graphics layout there whoa hold on we got a jazz boss fight here let's go let's kick some ass love this boss fight music it's great okay if you know anything about jrpgs you always take out the little companion guys on the side first get rid of those things ASAP do not attack the main thing first it's a common practice and jrpgs wow 84 from Marl we got from just a rinky dink physical attack so that is useful it's gonna wait for the fire world that's gonna hurt nope still over a hundred though alright we're in good shape we got good hp we got good mp this game is all about management just like any other rpg nope got lucky the last time so let's just do hmm yeah I want to hopefully that'll take him out yes now I can save my strong attacks for the main thing you do not attack the main guardian until the bits are out then he does this big countdown thing until his friends come back now we lay on the heavy artillery oh come on zero so you only do yeah let's provoke this thing and see if he gives us anything he does not this machine is an unfeeling yeah we just gotta do our rinky dink physical attacks and hope they add up enough to take him out eventually the bits will come back though they will be revived so to speak spoiler alert but the labos battle is a lot like this and we are ready for the bits to come back and let's take out the left one first since that one brings back that one I think heals that's not gonna get the job done got one more attack we gotta do might as well save the fire world for this one and then do one more attack with with moral shouldn't hurt too much hopefully I won't have to revive anything anything that'll take that one out good job uh oh taking taking some heavy damage here 64 oh shit I did not mean to do that that was bad fuck please don't be oh my god 58 no see that is why you don't want to do that because it just gonna fucking ruin your day Shiza okay um nooo god it lost chrono fuck oh I got fiber vibes that's fine god I can't believe I lost a character in this game or in this battle rather believe me I'll lose lots of characters and throughout this if I keep playing past this we're getting towards the end here now you just pound the shit out of this motherfucker there we got 128 that's good your basic bitch attacks playing with the ascii pad so you just throw it on turbo so you can get him as fastly fastly as quickly as possible 86 that's a good one 66 there we go we got through them I can't believe I lost chrono all because of a simple mistake of attacking a bit while it was attacking the main guardian while the bit was around that's what happens that's how you lose these battles 300 experience but that is big time that should level up everybody yep there we go that was big time clutch clutch yeah it's your face smart I'm just kidding your face reeks drunk look it's a dead guy looks like a porno mag what inside in the building no probably not ah yes a clue that the rat more than just a statue on mid ether let's get the flip out of here we are going to need to heal up first before we get to the next area actually I don't think there's two men out there we got a sprint and catch it dash with the B button am I going to get this thing bam caught them just like freaking Eric Kendrick's in the open field alright so you got to do that in order to access this you can't just do it anyway there we go oh there are enemies okay that's fine see if I can get past no I can't take these guys out very quickly I love it when he attacks his own people it's always funny oh whatever 37 damage from a freaking Mickey mouse enemy like you whatever that's some garbage alright let's get a move on here don't really have much else to say about music I'm trying to think of some other stuff to say plus I'm running out of time to ramble about stuff hopefully this is a decent enough LP mostly been sticking talking about the game but really I'm just looking forward to getting to this next part this next story part coming up here what are these bugs they're bugs with long necks they have beetle bodies with a mantis neck and head or something I don't know highly unusual see if I can skip these guys there we go let's get to the last part here oh fuck this see if we can just get past everything don't go that way and pass this guy I think we want to go here there we go alright here we go the information center hopefully it still works yes and of course luca manages to know how to use stuff that's 1300 years past her time you know technology that's way beyond her stuff her knowledge why wouldn't she be she's a genius okay so that's where we need to go to continue the plot but Marl says what does this button do and it triggers something unexpected uh oh whoa what in the hell is this everything looks all nice and peaceful kind of similar to the structure here with the domes and stuff looks similar to 2300 AD but this does not we got a giant porcupine demon coming out and spraying the landscape with a rain of fire and I mean rain as an R-A-I-N not rain of fire like the slayer out or no that's rain of blood nevermind rain of fire is that terrible movie with like christian bale and math of a conne yes lavos is what's destroying our world that's right this is our future this is the way the world ends deal with it cold hard reality does not care what you universe does not give one shit about your feelings but I do like her attitude we know what happens we have this technology to jump around through time let's do something about it that's right I wonder what happens when you say no okay let's go alright big inspiration jumping epic music what could possibly happen next I'm so fired up to play this game but unfortunately I have to be going now so I want to thank you for watching thank you for taking the time to watch if you made it this far and I hope you have a great rest of your day cheers
