Next up on my inaugural Fuck This Dungeon Tour: this door!

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv369@2x.png

Leads to the Tomb of Memory area, which uses the pyramid tileset and has a bunch of those Mecha Head enemies running around again. Square-Enix: officially out of ideas for this dungeon.

OH JESUS BAIL OUT



http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv372@2x.png

Cool it's a button, I'm sure nothing bad will happen if I hit it.

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv373@2x.png

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv374@2x.png

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

So it turns out that, when that asshole said "you must defeat he who is locked in the dungeons of the Sealed Temple," he ONLY meant for the teleporter in that room, and Neo Shinryu & Omega Mk.II are accessible without that.

That means that, instead of hauling ass back to the start to die to a boss, I can just stay down here and die to a boss. Cool, I guess?



http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv375@2x.png

Cool, it's another button right next to an open pit. I'm sure nothing bad wi—

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv377@2x.png

Aaaaaand, scene!



http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv378@2x.png

Neo Shinryu! I already beat Shinryu, and I've gained 17 levels since then, so this won't be so bad.

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv379@2x.png

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv380@2x.png

http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv381@2x.png

I WAS WRONG, SHINRYU LEARNED EARTHQUAKE

Lemme go grab Float off a Stingray and I'll be right back.



http://quiteajolt.com/gff/fffuck/ffv382@2x.png

Jiminy.

I gave it a shot with my Shinryu strategy of slapping Dragon Lances on everyone and hoping to kill him in 15 seconds, but that's not going to work here. The reason is that the developers have cheated in two ways.

First, Neo Shinryu is randomly invulnerable half the time. This is achieved by there being two forms, one completely impervious to damage and the other not, that rapidly switch back and forth without a signal. So 50% of attacks will be absorbed without even popping up a 0 damage indicator.

Second, Neo Shinryu has three hidden, unselectable, invulnerable targets. They don't show up in the monster list and you can't intentionally attack them, but random attacks like Rapid Fire have a chance of choosing them and therefore doing no damage.

The net effect is that my Berserker will only land a hit 1/8 of the time, so I pretty much have to solo this fight with my Dragoon. But wait, there's more.

Neo Shinryu has a 1/3 chance of countering damage with White Hole, which is an instant kill for this party. He has 65,000 HP, so with a 9,999 HP limit on attacks, I'm going to have to land no less than 7 hits on him without triggering White Hole. I might be able to bring that down to 6 or 5 if I get lucky with my other three characters before they die, but 7 is the theoretical target.

The odds on that are (2/3)7 = 5.85%. And that's assuming I can figure out how to keep the Dragoon alive during the other attacks. So that's a pretty big pile of shit I've got to figure out how to deal with.

... later!

With Fork Tower destroyed, we hook up a new ride.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...01swimming.png

Time to go swimming, fool.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...02drowning.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/603only.png

Yeah, and my dick is only ten inches long.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...603getsome.png

COMMENCE STANDING AROUND.

Actually, forgot to nullify the berserker so spent the first thirty seconds hitting him with the other characters until he died.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/604woot.png

Pointless new job acquired, we leg it, made it back to the boat with 3 seconds remaining. We head off to the nearest glowing blob on the underwater world map.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...605wellies.png

Gonna need some wellies I fear.

Pretty easy dungeon this one, more or less linear and no tough monsters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../606fourth.png

Wait, what? Fourth? I don't remember getting a third. Lol doing dungeons out of sequence. Anyway, we grab the tablet with no sign of a boss...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../607bugger.png

Bugger.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/608just.png

Only just beat him with no particular strategy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/609woot.png

More pointless shit and the realisation I totally could have just walked past this guy. Fuck my life.

So we go to the actual third dungeon next and man is it a pain in the arse. Thinking it would be easier than the fourth I didn't bother restocking on Hi-potions and came in with about 60. There are high-hp monsters that do a fair bit of damage and doom you which would be bad enough but then there are arsehole lava sections you're supposed to float over only no float so after nearly running out of potions, I resort to using the ninja's escape command to run away from battles with one hp a piece. Got to the end eventually though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/610oink.png

A pig?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...611piggies.png

Three (little) pigs, obviously.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...612tooeasy.png

Insanely easy fight, zeninage and straight up hard hitting get this done in a couple of rounds.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...3pointless.png

GEE, THANKS.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...14letshope.png

Yeah, let's leave that shit for CHz shall we.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/615nope.png

Whatever dude.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...t/616ornot.png

Hooray for bad guy clichés!

Bitch gets owned.

Apanda? An actual panda? What is this, World of Warcraft?

Dude goes down pretty quick too.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...8soundgood.png

Backrowserker? Ah hell no, Dual-wieldserker with Thor Hammer and Titan Hammer of course. 6,000 odd damage a turn to most bad guys.

Beat the tall dude boss easily then got raped by the octopus thing a couple of times. Time for a rethink...

Chapter VI: A Brave Suspiciously Similar World

Spoiler:


http://i.imgur.com/WmjHrpF.png
But first...


http://i.imgur.com/q1IeZss.png
...we need to run the Grass Tortoise population into the ground and harvest their mighty shells. To the mortar and pestle!


http://i.imgur.com/Hz9soq4.png
Oh and I guess we need to kill some monsters, too.


http://i.imgur.com/4WrMGGy.png
Unlike poor CHz, I can mix up some stuff that lets me float, so Titan is a complete joke.


http://i.imgur.com/iuUh8nt.png
Purobolos is a little bit more difficult because I completely lack the ability to deal reliable multi-target damage.


http://i.imgur.com/8By2CJD.png
Then I discovered that they are vulnerable to silence, which I can conveniently apply via Spellblade.


http://i.imgur.com/EOD6d03.png
So, when they try to cast it, I can just keep on killing them.


http://i.imgur.com/1gqR0au.png
HAHA NOPE.


http://i.imgur.com/oa367I3.png
Sure thing, gramps.


http://i.imgur.com/c8TU7It.png
Old people, man. For real.


http://i.imgur.com/pTN1AyJ.png
Remember that bow CHz made fun of me for getting? The one that sometimes applies an instant death effect?


http://i.imgur.com/UJWo8hF.png
Yeah, that one. Anyway.


http://i.imgur.com/FRe33Wi.gif
Meanwhile, somehow my paper map is able to show me animated pulses of light directing me to my next destination.


http://i.imgur.com/Zy0TQs0.png
Yeah, say goodbye to the chocobo you constantly abandon and never talk about. He probably means a lot to you, you asshole.


http://i.imgur.com/ZzMS8Wc.png
LATER, WORLD.


http://i.imgur.com/roSq686.gif
HELLO, WORLD.


http://i.imgur.com/kjG2NX8.png
Oh man, sure is nice that we get to have a little bit of time to ourselves like this! Just kick back with a nice campfire and-


http://i.imgur.com/JedZBjv.png
CRASH! STOP THAT!


http://i.imgur.com/wvTwnlW.png
Oh hey this creature that just kidnapped my friends left me a gift! I should probably open it and stick my head inside as far as it will go, because this is an excellent plan.


http://i.imgur.com/YXLs1Yu.png
Oh man, the Big Bridge?


http://i.imgur.com/Iam9QBa.png
Yeah, I suppose this bridge is pretty big.


http://i.imgur.com/Pvj4Qov.png
Honestly, this sounds so god damn sinister without any context.


http://i.imgur.com/n46Rc2y.png
Now, I only know a little bit about optics but I'm pretty sure that's not what a giant mirror would actually do.


http://i.imgur.com/uCng3VO.gif
Oh Gilgamesh, you card you.


http://i.imgur.com/P10hRLB.png
YES BIG BRIDGE TIME


http://i.imgur.com/LPe24ba.png
OH MAN THIS MUSIC IS FUCKING AWESOME


http://i.imgur.com/CTKP9Os.png
I AM NEVER GOING TO LEAVE


http://i.imgur.com/Iol36tp.png
EVER


http://i.imgur.com/CII81GW.png
Real talk, Gilgamesh's dialogue is all fantastic.


http://i.imgur.com/S3v9Kiv.gif
See!


http://i.imgur.com/p81XDTE.png
We arrive in the village of Regole, and take a well-deserved nap. However...


http://i.imgur.com/koW4b0v.png
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.


http://i.imgur.com/R40uFuw.png
Naturally.


http://i.imgur.com/IoZU7cL.png
Oh, a chance for character development!


http://i.imgur.com/vKd8qDp.png
Naturally..


http://i.imgur.com/grMqQnr.png
The townspeople see fit to offer me an important piece of advice.


http://i.imgur.com/ZLCHupw.png
Which is, of course, immediately disregarded.


http://i.imgur.com/Y0uW0wf.png
Just as immediately I can tell this fight is totally not going to happen.

Chapter VII: Trading In For a Newer Model

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/nLE566u.png
Our heroes took stock of the local fauna.


http://i.imgur.com/44LkHfv.png
Typical Lenna.


http://i.imgur.com/0e8DjID.png
I'm sure it's just a silly name; the moogle will be fine.


http://i.imgur.com/XUW7aRu.png
At Lenna's insistence, we intervene on the moogle's behalf.


http://i.imgur.com/YNNS6zL.png
Yeah, that's right. I one-shot another boss with that bow. How you like them apples?


http://i.imgur.com/siXGsXR.png
In exchange for his rescue, the moogle shows us how to safely cross the desert! Maybe that wasn't such a bad idea after all.


http://i.imgur.com/jDRcD9f.png
You FUCK.


http://i.imgur.com/Uo6i69M.png
After managing to avoid the Sandcrawlers, which you cannot run from, we made it to the moogle's village, and Lenna channels everyone who's ever played an RPG. Yes, I'm sure that's exactly what they always tell us.


http://i.imgur.com/U7BFpxu.png
F YES. I forget if CHz explained how this thing works, but every time you choose attack it has a 50% chance to use !Dance instead, which is identical the the Dancer ability. This is noteworthy because !Dance uses 1 of 4 randomly-selected abilities. Most of these suck, but Sword Dance is selected 25% of the time and does quadruple damage. Since I'm sporting a Lamia's Tiara that I made sure to steal earlier in anticipation of this, Sword Dance has a 50% chance of being used if !Dance is chosen, instead. It's pretty boss.


http://i.imgur.com/RuA9MNB.png
Then the drake, too weak to go on, saves us at the cost of his own life. I'm not really sure why he couldn't have just waited a little bit; we were pretty comfortable in the moogles' village.


http://i.imgur.com/J8g5IBi.gif
I KNOW YOU ASSHOLE. STOP IT.


http://i.imgur.com/M5NjyeI.png
We continue on our way to Quelb, the furriest town of them all.


http://i.imgur.com/4ha0u18.png
These dudes wish me luck and safety.


http://i.imgur.com/79lhc9r.png
This was when I happened to realize that the way they're programmed they walk a given direction for a given number of steps, and then change direction, going in a loop.


http://i.imgur.com/doI8nwn.png
However, if something is in their way (like me) then it's possible to push them off the rails, as it were, and have them run loose.


http://i.imgur.com/qwVRU3G.png
I'm going to load up a save state later on and see if I can get them to actually leave the town.


http://i.imgur.com/MsCBd8J.png
Heading up into the mountains we come across a golem who's being attacked by some jerk undead dragons.


http://i.imgur.com/zJJvq5V.png
He thanks us for our help.


http://i.imgur.com/4cxmL9H.png
Then we awkwardly stare at each other for some time, a situation that will later be perfected with Gau in Final Fantasy 6.


http://i.imgur.com/JlvCieJ.png
These are the parts that test my suspension of disbelief. All the drakes must be extinct because of one god damn plant? They're drakes! Just fly away from it! What's it gonna do? It's a PLANT.


http://i.imgur.com/vPpbaVz.png
Later on I decided not to exploit boss weaknesses like this as badly, 'cause my party is pretty stupid. But irrespective of that an antilixir, which can be created using !Mix, will take an enemy down to single digit hit points, more or less.


http://i.imgur.com/L41z9tt.png
Then they die from a stern look.


http://i.imgur.com/i660zae.png
COME ON WHO REALLY BELIEVES THIS?


http://i.imgur.com/cvBmeI9.png
Naturally Lenna is poisoned again.


http://i.imgur.com/434kmiH.png
It sure is lucky that Krile happened to have some dragon grass antidote or whatever on-hand. Very convenient.


http://i.imgur.com/E9LlDO8.png
We launch a fleet to attack Exdeath's castle, and then while his attention is diverted we sneak in aboard this bomb-ass little sub. So cool.


http://i.imgur.com/pYh9F4u.png
Xezat heads into the basement, and we go up top to destroy the antenna!


http://i.imgur.com/AaUeKZf.png
Naturally, it won't be that easy. It may cost us our blood.


http://i.imgur.com/yuPPVWh.png
This fight is super funny with a mystic knight because spellblade-applied Sleep never misses, and Atomos is vulnerable to it, so he didn't really get to do much of anything in this fight.


http://i.imgur.com/RQF4ZtH.png
You'll notice that Faris, who was the character killed at the beginning, hasn't been pulled closer to him at all. Owned.


http://i.imgur.com/TDzBvkn.png
Obligatory noble sacrifice.


http://i.imgur.com/WDfO8WB.png
Top-tier elemental spells are kind of hilarious on spellblade, because if you're attacking a non-heavy enemy that's weak to it, it doesn't actually do damage.


http://i.imgur.com/3qnKR8c.png
It just outright kills them.


http://i.imgur.com/hUlJP3X.png
Catlolblepas more like. Eh? Eh?


http://i.imgur.com/zL9swYI.png
OR CAN WE? EH? EH?


http://i.imgur.com/CxZnI8p.png
This seems like an overreaction.


http://i.imgur.com/j4GEqV0.png
This fight that CHz hated (aka all of them) was so long ago I don't actually remember my exact tactics, but I think it was probably something like this: kill everything and laugh maniacally at how easy it is.


http://i.imgur.com/KDwNBml.png
First time I played this I was actually like HOLY SHIT at this part.


http://i.imgur.com/Mld0Sem.png
Well isn't that convenient.


http://i.imgur.com/i6BD8j5.png
I am a terrible person.


http://i.imgur.com/h2b2B21.png

Nobody likes it here. There are King Behemoths everywhere, I'm almost out of hi-potions and it's fucking miles to the nearest shop. We decide to tough it out.

There's a bunch of Fuma Shurikens in chests here. Also this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...it/128oops.png

Might not open that one after all.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...9stillafag.png

In the best tradition of jrpgs, Exdeath spouts a bunch of faggy nonsense when you meet him. These games need to give you the option to slap emo fags in the face and skip all the crappy dialogue.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...1210lolwut.png

Was a giant tree really the most terrifying form they could think of for the end boss?

ROUND 1, FIGHT.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...214doubtit.png

GOSH, THAT WAS EASY, I BET THAT'S ALL THERE IS AND THE FIGHT IS OVER.

Note the various haste effects rather than reflect, this was a first attempt, I switched to reflect rings for everyone except the berserker for subsequent goes with the zerker still in hermes sandals.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...215obvious.png

DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...16flawless.png

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

Took a couple of attempts, the main issue being the bit at the back casting meteor and killing everyone and running out of all healing items with two bits still to kill. The Fuma Shurikens helped, dealing 7,000 odd damage each time.

Well that was a decent enough game. I'm not normally a huge fan of old-school rpgs, I certainly never got on with FF6 but I think the challenge element of this made it more entertaining that it otherwise would have been. Would have stood no chance without CHz playing it through in front of me, primarily because there are a couple of bosses I don't think I would have beaten without his strategies.

Chapter VIII: We're Back! A Story of Old Things

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/WTR3l6S.png
We take our new recruit exploring, and find a cave that gives us money just for walking around!


http://i.imgur.com/l2cbH5P.png
It doubles with every step! This is the greatest!


http://i.imgur.com/vy9TrFx.png
However, with every step there's also a chance of encountering Gil Turtle, who is absurdly powerful at this point in the game given my comparatively meager firepower. Yes, even my rapid-firing spellblade isn't really a whole lot compared to this guy at this point. What I ended up doing was having my Pharmacology-boosted (potions are twice as effective) chemist chuck hi-potions for 1000 damage over and over until he died.

Given the crap luck I had in encountering him so early, I figured I'd make a ton of bank getting to the back of the cave. NOPE. Next step, hit him again.


http://i.imgur.com/WkPqgOL.png
WORTH IT.


http://i.imgur.com/XQlJxrP.png

If you just heal through his magic for a bit, he becomes weak to a bunch of stuff. Like the whole instantly dying to -aga elemental spellblade thing. So that happened.

http://i.imgur.com/m7PlyZ5.png
This fight was super easy, even without casters. Biceps hits like a truck, and with a Drain spellblade is basically unkillable. Characters with !Mix can double their HP first of all, and then mix up holy damage that's based on their HP. It's pretty stupid.

I'm not sure why but this line made me laugh super hard. The mental image of this contrast between something incredibly bad ass like riding a motherfucking dragon, and screaming like a child, was so silly. I imagine the beaming face of the king, overflowing with pride as his daughter takes her first lesson in becoming the warrior daughter that would honour his family's royal legacy. Then I imagine the frustration and shame as she screams incoherently and runs around the castle, red-faced and wailing.

I am positive there was a better way to write Exdeath into this scene than the one that they chose.


http://i.imgur.com/4WOaYn3.png
Exdeath beats us up again and we check out the ancient library, where Ghido ridicules Biceps' intellect some more and then bestows upon us some homework.

We go to see if the library has filled out our favourite section yet.

That was a suspiciously-shaped peninsula, now that you mention it. And now it's sinking. That's odd.

Chapter IX: A Murder of Side Quests

Spoiler:

http://i.imgur.com/exmyN38.png
It's been a long time so I kind of forget the details, but basically we find Lenna in the forest.


http://i.imgur.com/1nyaXBw.png
Then we have some Exorcist shit goin down.


http://i.imgur.com/XbQpqwN.png
Melusine has the standard "strong against everything except for one specific rotating weakness" gimmick that you're assuredly familiar with. She always starts weak to fire. So now she's dead.


http://i.imgur.com/88eZgfK.png
Exdeath is kind of a dick, and decides to start showing off.


http://i.imgur.com/fYCA81U.png
All the towns start being devoured, which is kind of a shitty state of affairs.

SHOTS FIRED


http://i.imgur.com/5dvHPpg.png
LOL


http://i.imgur.com/g8Qp4Mk.png
Headin' over to the sealed castle to see what I can cash out for.


http://i.imgur.com/PfFzHc2.png
...


http://i.imgur.com/0TRuQ2d.png
NOPE.


http://i.imgur.com/T2g0pB1.png
Continuing optional stuff: headed back through Jachol Cave, through Bal Castle's basement, and beat Odin literally zero seconds before he kills my ass. Not that his summon is of any use to me whatsoever.


http://i.imgur.com/M0ma2im.png
Magic Lamp is a thing that CHz talked about a lot, and depended on significantly for his damage output in certain situations. I just sort of want it.


http://i.imgur.com/wbgxXYp.png
All right, next up we goin' down town get us some WIND TABLET watap.


http://i.imgur.com/0HLdIJo.png
Like the others, it has these gargoyles guardian the entrance.


http://i.imgur.com/qXEeun8.png
Like everything else, I can kill them instantly. This is pretty much how the boss fight with Wendigo went, also.


http://i.imgur.com/tHrJAm4.png
Ah yes, the North Mountain. Where the great dragon Bahamut said he'd wait for me.


http://i.imgur.com/w3s9QxK.png
And a run-in with my arch-nemesis, poison bush.


http://i.imgur.com/G5cXv5n.png
NOT THIS TIME, ASSHOLE


http://i.imgur.com/jahQybB.png
Bahamut has a ton of crazy-powerful magic that can kill my entire party instantly, so I want to just get that stuff out of the way right off the bat.



http://i.imgur.com/dlHjEYW.png
As it turns out, Bahamut cannot be silenced.


http://i.imgur.com/kKwcsy2.png
I managed to keep Biceps alive using a drain spellblade and some damage reduction. Everyone else was a total write-off, though. RIP team.


http://i.imgur.com/ZsvnDwG.png
Wait a minute.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

MORE SIDEQUESTS! PHOENIX TOWER TIME!


http://i.imgur.com/3TkxCcV.png
Okay so Phoenix Tower has a lot of floors, and each floor has two possible exits to the next floor up. One of these is guarded, and one isn't. If you don't know the pattern, you just have to guess. It's okay though 'cause everything is easy to kill.


http://i.imgur.com/ncS5iAh.png
As if my trek wasn't easy enough, the PartheNOPE attacks with Roulette which randomly kills a character. Thing is, enemies are also included in this. This was right before Cherie died due to terrible betrayal.


http://i.imgur.com/P9WNQr1.png
We made it to the top and got some more stuff that's not useful at all, due to our dragon friend entrusting its soul to the girl who once prepared to cut out its tongue.


http://i.imgur.com/30FLIvG.png
Seriously.


http://i.imgur.com/wo98j3J.png
Time for the standard split your party into multiple groups stage! As I think CHz mentioned but I'm too lazy to check and it was literally a year ago so I don't remember, the black tower is where you need to use magic, and the white tower demands physical attacks.


http://i.imgur.com/SQ9ArqO.png
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of magic, as spellblade still provokes counter-attacks (as does all manner of physical attack in the magic tower). On the upside, silence spellblade completely ruins everything.


http://i.imgur.com/osQu5ZY.png
Over on the other side, we run into this, the most fearsome warrior!


http://i.imgur.com/UK1jQDw.png
Oh noooooooooooooo


http://i.imgur.com/nBHOfBc.png
lol dead


http://i.imgur.com/x4ZHV4C.png
As CHz has also mentioned, Omniscient demands that you attack with magic else he casts Return and completely resets the battle to its initial state. Given I lack the capacity for continued output of catastrophic magic, this is a problem for me.



http://i.imgur.com/3S8im20.png
Even using spellblade counts as a physical attack.


http://i.imgur.com/SQS39gR.png
However, silence spellblade completely ruins this fight's one major mechanic.


http://i.imgur.com/OK1pDBn.png
Dead. For some reason, the Fork Tower disappears.


http://i.imgur.com/hGjTlLD.png
Oh sup what's this down here in the watery depths? Why, it's the sunken tower of Walse!


http://i.imgur.com/pCC2Ozf.png
Inside is the so-called Famed Mimic Gogo. This fight is super easy to win; you just sit there and he'll eventually leave. However, that's boring and I have a stupidly overpowered party, so that's not what we're gonna do.


http://i.imgur.com/2Q4aoxv.png
After buffing everyone with chemistry and getting ready, I unloaded. After every physical attack, he counters with a strong physical attack. After every spell cast on him, he counters with Holy, Flare, or Meteor. Basically, he doesn't fuck around.

After you do some damage to him he starts ranting, which is problematic because the fight's programming is bugged. After casting Meteor, he resets and goes through the rant again. And casts it again. And again.


http://i.imgur.com/BDBvDnx.png
I cannot believe I actually pulled this off. You essentially just have to buff yourself until near godhood and open up with everything you can to kill him before Meteorfest is triggered.

This guy I went to college with sounds mad about sucking at FF5.

Just wanted to share this with all of you that completed the game last year, because you're all winners and I'm proud of you.

Tell him a British guy you know who finished it on his first ever play through using a randomly generated party limited to four job classes says he's a pussy.
