yamamanamaSpring Break! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So, when are we going to get rowdy?
So, yeah, Katie came up with a superhero by the name of Captain Paranoia. He goes around fighting people he suspects are super-villians, but are really random innocents. And his catch-phrase is "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a conspiracy!" Maybe he could team up with Natural Selection.
Kristi thinks that Mark Summers is going to take over Bob Barker's role as host of the Price is Right. Too bad that most likely won't mean slime spots on the wheels and little old ladies getting slimed whenever they get something wrong.
I took a lot of screenshots. The game's a bit text-heavy at the beginning.
An external face and an internal face.
Lightside and Darkside.
Growth and Decline circle to two wills.
Yes, that was its own screenshot, but Terranigma's text is famed for being really frigging slow and taking up more space than it should. Besides, there's really not much you can say on this, it just looks pretty.
something something Lightside
There is absolutely nothing special about this plane. Except it's obstructed by a stopwatch.
...SoaP jokes are so 2006. And this is 46 billion years since the planet's birth. So, please, go stick your head in a pig.
You'll probably never see this, seeing how
Seriously, I went through dungeons in the time I took to collect these screenshots, seeing how if you even think about pressing a button, you go...
...here. I named him Yama, of course. I'm pretty sure Rabbit won't fit. His original name is Ark, but I'm not a fan. Look, I know Ark is supposed to be symbolic of how he's resurrecting the world, but I still don't think it's a good name. How would you like to be named Boat, huh? I didn't think so.
So, let's begin the game and familiarize ourselves with the controls, shall we?
START: Starts the game, of course. And pauses, but going to the item screen does that too.
SELECT: Goes to the item screen.
DIRECTIONAL PAD: If you haven't figured out what this does, you have no business playing video games.
A - In dungeons, you attack. In towns, you can interact with people, pick up objects and vandalize them, eat their food, and
B - Jump
X - Uses an item.
Y - Makes you run faster. There is no reason for you to take your finger off of this button.
L, R - puts up an anti-projectile shield. Don't expect it to help you when a knight decides to mace you.
You can tell this is a Japanese video game by their hair.
Yeah. So have I.
It's also not very blue at all. In fact, the GFF member Blue is more blue than Crystal Blue. Gah. I just used the word blue way too much.
I threw his trash basket at him for the insult.
Oh.. kay.
You don't get a real explanation until later.
However, you can't hand people their stuff.
SMASH!
Oh yeah? See those apples lying on the table?
You don't tell me what to do.
And then smashed them. Oh, wait, no moogles in this game. Moon says they're afraid of the pumpkin gunk, though.
He's just a bitter old man who hates the world because he's old. Just rob him. Oh, wait, he actually decides to be obedient here.
Let's visit Madame Fortune! Hocus Pocus, Mucus Pukus, the magic crystal says you are in grave danger... oh, wait, wrong fortune. She sees wedding bells for Vanna White. Sometimes she gives you a cryptic hint, sometimes she just says things like that. Gee, thanks, Madame Fortune. I think I already figured out I was a troublemaker when I made the chickens poop on the weavings.
You didn't try to eat the crystal blue, did you?
I threw stuff at them.
That's crystal blue.
After apologizing to the weaver, I promptly threw some stray pots and then went over to the mill to jam the wheels with ceramic fragments.
This pumpkin doesn't want to be picked.
Gazing into Crystal Blue.
The Elder said not to open the door, and he's away, so, guess what we're going to do!
I will later on, trust me.
And learn how to use items. Which doesn't explain why they're selling stuff at the Magirock Store.
So, let's learn how to use the stuff. Eh, it's kind of obvious. Unlike normal RPGs, you can't sell back your items. Instead, you have to send them into buh buh buhhhhh... the unknoooOOOOOOooooown! Try it on the Cryspear you just got. I tried it later in the game, when I got some better spears that were , alas, neither sentient nor able to convert Crystal Blue into health.
Yeah. Prevent access. The Elder thinks that people should spend their time being productive and not sending PCures into a hole.
The Cryspear is sentient.
Mostly harmless, actually.
This does not look good for Homestar Runner.
Say no and the Elder trudges back into his room. Let's race him to the door! Hey, how did he get in there before I did?
Well, it's time to explore the outside world. See you in Chapter II!
