Fascinating! I'd never seen that strategy before, even though you said you'd seen someone else do it. And despite your assertion that you still suck, I'm thinking of stripping that title from you. Even though it invariably takes 30-someodd tries to make a video that makes a hard fight look easy, you nonetheless did indeed make a hard fight look easy.

I hereby deem this the "Pow Sucks No More LP".

Thanks Bishop. Most of my assertion of sucking is that I'm still unfamiliar with what abilities and items to use end-game. I suppose some of the deeper mechanics like the formulas of abilities, hidden innates of enemy units and other things that are not always clear to me. I'm going to use the patcher more but usually I just want to get back to playing.

I do remember saying that as I play this wonderful mod more that I become more Insane. Talk is cheap. Hart-Hunt still does commentary with me even though he really does not. What a swell lad, I want more volunteers to do post-commentary with me because...I Suck despite what the respectable Bishop says, my most favorite piece in Chess. I simply desire knowledge.
This is my conclusion of Chapter 3 where I refuse to follow Vulcan Logic and do things my way. Because I don't give a fuck and clearly, I'm willing to be continuously murdered until my way works.

lol sorry, I was talking to the grand Hart-Hunt about trying to get to Altima before or at level 40. Hart was saying that if I finished Chapter 3 by level 22 that I just may achieve that goal. It should also be mentioned that Hart said this during Queklein and I have been using his voice-overs or taken them ransom as mine ever since then in all of my videos. It sounds odd because at the last minute of editing I thought...hmm something is missing...where the fuck is Hart. Hart is Life, so I randomly added him in, sound strange yet?

Anyway aside from the lulz Hart has good advice and a carefree spirit, so I was going to remention this in the rooftop battle after which lasts 1 turn.

LOL. I don't mention my complete thought process in the video. Although I did read that Marche is one of the best special characters in the game I still booted him because he joins me +6 levels higher than my party. I am still trying to stay low level and I did not want to level my party up to 24 to be even with him. I did not want to continue with a low level party that had an increased 'party level' because of Marche and I was still raging about Grog Hill and blaming everything on Marche for making all the enemies higher level than me.

I totally agree Quad about Grog Hill not being a bad fight. I was getting burnt out from playing the mod and editing so much at this point. It wasn't the summon guns or the samurai even though I complain about them in the video. It was Marche's higher level which in turn raised the level of all the enemy units which made me rage.

I lol'd at the Hart-Hunt sound effects.

That makes sense. I think if you end up doing another 1.3 run you might enjoy some kind of challenge where you have all abilities edited in early. FFT is most rewarding when you have lots of options to come up with a plan, although the min-max approach definitely teaches you more about the game on a first playthrough. I wish someone did an overhaul of 1.3 with tons of new content, or maybe include self-generated non-random content into the process, so you never run out of new stuff, but that's just me dreaming.

Quad, I'd also like to mention that I dig how you seem to disable music on your emulator so then you can simply add in the fight music to your videos! This would save tremendous time editing and I noticed it right away on your DD generic challenge videos. I just have to listen to game music when playing so I have not done this myself.
BTW what was the first song you used on your The Impatient Engineers video? I really love it!

And I really dig your editing because it blows my mind that nobody has tried speeding up those boring thought process times where nothing happens. Seriously, how hasn't anyone done this for 1.3 videos before? (https://www.youtube....h?v=IItUmICYLSA)

Thanks for linking that soundtrack : ), it was bugging me for not knowing. I'm so pleased. I Dig you for existing and actually reading all my nonsense. I just feel humbled and unworthy in your presence so I'll just shut up because you really are amazing!

I'd like to think so Bishop at least in editing anyway. Alas I think you give me to much credit. I want to be your and all of your equals butt I'm not convinced I am. I am taking a short break from this game. I've looked into the stores of Chapter 4 and all the propositions I can exploit but I just need a brief break. I'm thinking a week. Hopefully it will be sooner because I just have this uncontrollable rage inside me. It's like a star about to go super-nova but it cannot because its mass/gravity pulls itself back. Bishop to 3H!

And in regard to video editing, Not just in FFTactics 1.3 but in general I've always been bothered by watching the top youtube videos of Pros showing me things uncut and usually 30-45mins...Your epic right!? So edit your videos ffs. I look at a 1.3 min clip of mine and hmm lets make that clip 5 seconds and I'll insert commentary about what I was thinking how bout that? In their defense though editing takes an immense amount of time. You need proper video editing software and more time to explain your thought process. People simply don't put in the time and I'm guilty of this as well. In all honesty I'm burnt out on this game because for reals...I spend as much time editing as I do playing this mod. When I play other games I'm reminded of Insane Difficutly and I just feel weak. I feel shallow for not having a challenge like I've had here. I'll be back to murder what you present me!
