Clown Town Bad (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Part 1)

The fancast? Final. The quest? Mystic.

In this episode we kick off our Mystic Quest miniseries as we follow Benjamin, the most ordinary youngster you could ever imagine who is also better than everyone, on his journey to liberate the crystals. This game has it all: destroyed villages, an ancient prophecy, a Focus Tower, WIZARD MAGIC, bombs, and an old baboon man on a cloud who we’re not sure we can trust. In this leg we tackle the Bone Dungeon by way of Foresta and the Ice Pyramid by way of Aquaria with help from our friends(?) Kaeli, Tristam, and Phoebe, and a special encore appearance by friend of the show, jumping.

Also, we cannot stress this enough: there is no Clown Town, nor should there be. If you find yourself in Clown Town, something has gone horribly wrong and we advise you to leave as quickly and carefully as possible.

Thoughts and Prayers (FF4 Part 6)

We kill SO MANY big scary moon critters. I’m talking behemoths, dark bahamut, a monster’s breath, ogopogo himself. Ghosts and far-away friends send spiritual aid along the way. Some enemies stop being bad, which is nice. Some dead friends stop being dead, which is also nice. We unsubscribe from Kain’s Christmas card updates. Gamer Science returns with boss battle tips, like Zeromus is tough and may warrant a little grinding, but if you hit level 80, you’ve gone too far. Shout out to Maddy Morphosis and her ginormous hair. Shout out to Sweetums the Muppet for being ginormous hair.

The Foose is Loose (FF4 Part 5)

Lunar Whale to the moon! Let’s beat up behemoths, bahamuts, and one iron giant who enjoys being a gun. Meet our new friend, a beard with claws. Meet our old frenemy, Kain, who can’t make up his mind about anything. We scheme to keep him as our pet mini pig-frog. You might assume CPU stands for “central processing unit” but no, it’s definitely something else. Transporters are scary.
