Well, I think one or two people have wanted me to play through this hack. After the latest update was released, I felt it was time to do just that.

First....the hack can be downloaded from either of the following locations:

http://www.insanedif...-dark-sorcerer/

http://rotds.webs.com/

Now then, let's begin shall we? The intro videos feature an extended opening sequence, then the town of Fraust getting invaded by two soldiers and a magical power hungry girl who eventually decides to say fuck everything and gets out of Fraust with the help of...Cloud Strife? Well now, this is going to end well I'm sure.

Have a couple more videos ready, but I'll get those up either later on tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

Had these other two videos uploaded last night, but only now am I getting around to posting them. Cloud & Aurora set off for the kingdom of Daventry where they hook up with its local king and piss off Kefka by denying him any chance to take back his prized girl. The trio then sets off for Seascape Town to get supplied up for the journey over a mountain.

Today's videos take the trio over Spiral Mountain where, I shit you not, they run into Raditz from Dragonball Z. He's chased off by local badass Ronan and they all journey to the hideout of the Crimson Blades to formulate a plan before things go south...oh wait scratch that, the empire took over a town, they have gone south.

As such, Cloud goes to slow them down while everyone else, Astral included, take a raft ride down the Meandering River, running into everyone's favorite octopus before Ronan ends up diving into the river and overshooting it by a landslide when he gets out of said river. Capital work there buddy!

Couple morning videos here where Ronan begins his journey back to Fraust...and hoo boy is it going to be a long one. It begins by him visiting an orphanage to learn of a boy on a quest for revenge, then deciding to raid an imperial base camp for kicks and get assistance from an assassin to try stopping Kefka (and failing thanks to Ronan). The duo then assists a random madman coming to slaughter people in the base for unleashing death on his kingdom and they decide to go north through some woods that are...filled with ghosts and blood. That's going to end well!

Couple more videos for you all today. Ronan continues his adventure back to Fraust by passing through a spooky forest with his friends and runs into an enigmatic fellow by the name of Reaper. After striking a deal with him (which basically amounts to I get your damned souls when you eventually die), they join Reaper in exploring a train of the dead, complete with zombies that can zombify Reaper. Explain THAT one!

Also, an asshole boss appears (which I completely forgot to include a failure clip for your enjoyment, but just know that the asshole onion bitch took me three tries to beat), a kid joins the party, and a train gets really angry and was given a proper ass kicking to beat some sense into it.

Tonight's videos have Ronan wrapping up business in his scenario by jumping down a waterfall, kicking some star pokemon ass, then taking a dive into a trench of aquatic asshole enemies (by which I mean two White Mousse enemies being chucklefucks and each one using Acid Rain. I sure LOVE taking 400+ damage in total from that D:).

Only two more scenarios to go...and yet, they are short enough that they'll fit into one video each. Lovely!

Last batch of videos to catch me up to where I'm at currently. The last two scenarios are cleared and some war by a no doubt angry Kefka happens in order to claim the esper of Fraust.

Highlights!

- Serin learning what it means to be spear'd in the face, Captain Rex style.
- Tifa counterkilling 2/3rds of the enemies that dare attack her.
- Awesome music!

Tonight's videos have the team fending off Kefka's forces in their attempt to nab Fraust's precious esper. Repelling them back was a success, but Aurora flipping out upon getting close to the esper was not pretty and, as such, she turned into a esper-like creature and flew off, forcing the team to go after her. On the way, a couple brothers get some screen time. an old fried is hired once agaiin, and a random Metroid provided quite the ass kicking for our intrepid group.

Been awhile, but I have a stock of videos to upload that I need to cut away at.

It begins with the team going into Psycho City to look for Aurora and find a giant angry yeti that gets burned hardcore, then Tifa, Ronan, and Cloud go on a date to the Opera House where an asshole octopus tries to crash the opera (and did one time, oh dear).

The good news? Ultros got thwarted. Unfortunately, a pirate dragoon (yes, you heard me right folks) kidnaps Maria, aka Tifa, but it works out in the end as the awesome pirate dragoon gets convinced to help the trio out in getting to the empire's mainland.

Tonight's videos take the team on a tour of the empire's mainland before attacking the very heart of Glow City in order to break into Facility X to free some espers (and take their magicite for their own use of course). Not much else to say.

Know why I haven't updated in awhile? Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst. I've been getting back into it this week.

Still though, someone wants to get revenge in this morning's videos. Also, the badass pirate dragoon lends a hand in dealing with some rogue skulls and a familiar moogle joins the team for good.

Tonight's videos have the team take on an innocent looking tonberry who's actually quite powerful before going on an adventure through Hellfire Pass to reach the entrance to the esper world (and foil Kefka's plan to try butting ahead of the line and getting in first himself). Unfortunately, the espers go mad upon the door opening and decide to carpet bomb everything in a three mile radius, including the airship.

The solution to this situation? A feast with the empire and a new goal to go investigate an island where the espers are rumored to have run off to. Capital!

Today's videos take Cloud & Aurora on a boat ride to an island, but someone wants to crash the party. There's also a matter of a house going up in flames at the town of Jericho and Ultros trying to thwart some good natured plans for a third time.

What do all of these three have in common? Aurora's Morph command. She basically goes Captain Rex on damn near every boss seen in this video. It doesn't end well for said bosses I assure you.

Want to get caught up with uploading videos here before an update comes out. A floating continent rises from the world after some hijinks from Gestahl, but the team decides to wrap up some last minute sidequests around the world before FuSoYa takes two kids with him to invade the floating continent which is guarded by someone fat & pink with a cape, an octopus, some onion guy or whatever, and Storm Eagle's brother, Flame Eagle.

Last batch of videos to catch me up to where I'm currently at. The floating continent gets explored, more bosses get crushed, one boss trolls me hard, and some dingbat triggers an earth shattering kaboom to change the world. Tifa somehow survives this kaboom and nurses a friend back to health before setting out on her own to locate her friends.

Been a long time since my last videos, but an update was in the works that I had to wait for. Since it was just recently released, it's time to pick up this playthrough once again as Tifa begins her search for friends in the World of Ruin, running into Serin who poses as Snakes in order to get a group of thieves to lead him back into his own castle so he can take care of a zombie infestation in the engine room (by which I mean Tifa solos the fight because Serin forgot to pack protection against the undead), then he and Tifa reunite with Otis at Starlight Village and head to a tomb to find some new wings courtesy of a fallen one that Otis knew.

Also, note to Epitaph...probably shouldn't have followed the Star Ocean: Til the End of Time rules that state you can die if your mp gets reduced to 0 and you have all of 2500 mp to drain. Considering between all three characters I could drain roughly a third of that per set of turns, it didn't end well for you.

Tonight's videos go around the world, collecting new items and old characters, before taking on the demonic winged one of the skies.

I'm almost surprised that you didn't name Otis as Rex since he's the Jumping guy. Or do you give it to the guy you like the most?

Actually, I was planning to give it to Otis, but I'd have to replay the game again just to get to the point where I could rename him. Then I saw Golbez and what he was capable of and said fuck it, he's getting named Rex.

Speaking of Rex, tonight's videos show him going on a rampage as he goes with a few others into a mysterious cave with either asshole ninja enemies or an asshole ninja that joins MY team, then gets to some coliseum fighting for profit before hunting down a couple previously skipped by optional bosses.

Also, one boss pulled a massive stupid. Say, Doomcloud? PROBABLY not the best idea to piss my man off by instantly slaying him right as the fight begins, then freezing him the moment I revived him, then freezing him a SECOND time later in the fight. All that did was make him mad and begin hitting you for 9999 damage while berserked. All this while your max hp is around 39k. That's why you never fuck with my man folks!
