The fact you do these videos simply because you love doing them is what I believe gets you the most respect as a person and as an LPer. When you love and enjoy it, it's much more enjoyable for the viewers, too. I appreciate your hard work and time put into these videos. You're one of my favorite LPers, HCBailly.
I would have never imagined that this classic RPG has more replay value, more exploration, better music and even a better story (simple) than any new RPG (FF13). I love this game.
@drunyon214 Thanks, I appreciate the support for the shorter episodes. I'm going to try to stick to 10-12 minutes for most episodes in the future. With FF13, I'll stick to 15 minutes, not so much because of the length of the game (it's moving by way faster than I thought it would), but because it takes so long to accomplish anything of value in modern games.
The Mine is probably my favorite area in the game, plus it is home to Jinn, who is responsible for my first internet handle ever, flamepillar. I bet people get sick of seeing me leave this comment on every single LP when it gets to this part.
>_> You know you must be doing it right when people really want your side LP more than your main LP. The way I pictured it is that you savior the side LPs and give them your all, because they might get overshadowed by the main LP if you didn't. Besides, we younger audience members could use a little delayed gratification. It builds character. That being said, I already cannot wait for the next Mystic Quest episode D:!
To HCBailly, i know you didnt want to discuss it, but a mace is a sort of club with a large blunt end, a flail is like a mace on the end of one or more chains tied to the part you hold onto, and a morning star is just a flail with spikes attached to the blunt balls on chains (meant to resemble the sun rising in the morning, the spikes being the suns rays)
considering the amount of effort it takes (or seems to take) making your FF13 LP, I don't know how anyone's surprised the side LP isn't a daily project... so much prep and off-screen material goes into your projects its amazing.
@TheDragoon9713 Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. When I say "big names", I mean people who make internet videos for a living. To my knowledge, most of them seem to make about a video or two per week, and put a whole lot more production value per video. Obviously, such a format would not work for what I am doing, but this is what is fun for me, and that's more important to me than making a living from this.
@HCBailly I like the episode length for this LP. I often have trouble finding 15 minutes to watch an FF13 episode, but 10-11 for this LP is just right.
I never noticed the FFL2 Dad connection either until I watched your video just now, and I've played this game a bunch of times. Weird. I noticed it immediately this time though, and I was about to bring attention to it until you mentioned it yourself.
I've probably said this before, but that cave music where the boulder was sounded like it was from Narshe in FF6! Makes me wonder if Uematsu just recycled it for that game.
10:15 - Going off the fact that the guy Benjamin and Reuben rescued looks like Dad from FFL2, (spoiler alert!!) There's the point in FFL2 when you have to go into the Cafe and play the jukebox to gain access to the rebel base. The jukebox costs 10GP to play a tune.
@Kato86 Could be right. He's over half-way done with the game though and it's episode 10. I can't see it taking more than 18 or 19. None of these dungeons take significant time with 95% of the battles cut out. I haven't played in something like 12 years, though. :)
@MWaser Don't people who have a normal job sell themselves? That's what everyone does. We exchange hours for dollars. They've simply managed to significantly reduce that ratio.
Also, have you ever heard this remix of the battle theme? Well, I can't paste a link, but it's on Newgrounds and titled "FinalFantasy MQ - Battle Theme" by DerHato.
It amuses me that I knew that boss was named Jinn just by looking at it... I mean I have played this game before, but the whole fire world is basically a giant blank in my memory, so it's not like I remembered x_x I guess when you spend your entire life playing RPGs you just learn the tendecies
You know HCBailly, if you like the music in this game you should check out Treasure of the Rudra. It's a Squaresoft RPG on the SNES with the same composer as Mystic Quest.
@JohnRayJr Not too argue but that calculation doesn't really hold up. The next area has more 2.5+ minor dungeons and then there's the final dungeon as well (come on, as if that's a spoiler) Depending on the video length he'll take a bit more than your estimate I assume.
The weapon is a flail I think. A morning star is just a mace with spikes... if I remember correctly. Then again, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it's a flail that Reuben uses though. Someone else probably already said it. I personally don't care what it's called. They are awesome, the end.
I actually like the magic animations in this game. I actually think they should of used it more often in their other other games but it's too late now.
hey HC are you still planning on doing a lets play of ff tactics? if you do that would be great you really can't find a really good lets play of tactics yet...
IIRC, if you fail to pick up the second tier claw, then get the third one, you can later replace the third tier claw with the second one. Also, you didn't happen to be in Florida this weekened, were you? I met someone with a voice that was very similar to yours.
@toaker **Spoiler Alert** Four main areas, with a minor dungeon and major dungeon in each. He has two major dungeons and one minor dungeon left. Should be done in 16 episodes: 17 tops.
Hu, Arion only reminded me of adventure archaeologists like Indy or Lemezs, but yeah, he does look just like dad. Lazy sprite thefts ;) The size of the gap alway irritates me much more than the size of the boulder, actually... And finally: I think it was just a really stupid joke, nothing else with the old prophet guy...
@spudnspud I actually did finish Persona 4 and loved it. However, it really doesn't have much that exploration. Just dungeon crawling a bit but thats it.
Pretty odd a cup of coffee is 10 GP whereas Ben's allowance is 2 GP a month. The average cup of coffee is $2.70 right now divided by 5 means that Ben's allowance is 54 cents/month... That's $6.48 a year.... or about a Quarter every 2 weeks.
HCBailly, you should have ended it by saying something like "CAN WE FIND 10G TO BUY OUR CUP OF COFFEE? WILL THERE BE CROISSANTS AND COOKIES AVAILABLE TO LOYAL VIEWERS!? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!!" :D
Interesting fact: the Charm claw can break the game. If you ignore the charm claw, and then collect it after you get the Dragon claw, you actually can't complete the game. I found this out the very, very hard way. I'm glad you didn't do what I did.
@HCBailly Uh..... I think you are a cool person and do you play a PSP game called, Dissidia Final Fantasy? If yes, who is your favorite character? If no, it is ok.
I'd say people who make a living out of Internet videos really need to rethink their lives. I can understand the ad revenues, but anybody selling T-shirts and things like these are just selling themselves. Especially if at the begging of the description you can see "like, comment and subscribe".
sorry to be a nazi but if i'm not someone else will be, at the start you said lets rescue reubens father. but in the description you said arions father.

Someone read it 10 years in the future.
@@SheonEver And someone read it 5 months later than that
Woot! I love Lava Dome. Cool environment and one of the best tracks in FFMQ,

In my opinion the boss music fits HC's "FOR BOSS TIME!" just perfectly! I lllllike it! :)
wow , i miss you hc , haven't been on your channel in a while , i remember when side lp's were a new thing ! :)
@TheDragoon9713 Thanks. I appreciate the compliment. When I say "big names", I mean people who make internet videos for a living.

Domes, solid flames, I'm having Chrono flashbacks!
@HCBailly I like the episode length for this LP. I often have trouble finding 15 minutes to watch an FF13 episode, but 10-11 for this LP is just right.
You are freakin' good at this game!
Great video as always. :D
man, the life spell seems so overpowered.
healing, revive, instant kill, cures status ailments.
wow!
@JeffroTheMan1
Actually not after Mystic Quest, but after XIII. It's a main LP. I'm psyched for it. :)
I never noticed the FFL2 Dad connection either until I watched your video just now, and I've played this game a bunch of times. Weird. I noticed it immediately this time though, and I was about to bring attention to it until you mentioned it yourself.
I've always liked the cave music in this game.
AND WE LIKED IT! haha your so awesome HCBailly
I've probably said this before, but that cave music where the boulder was sounded like it was from Narshe in FF6! Makes me wonder if Uematsu just recycled it for that game.
@HCBailly Yeah, in watching your LPs, you've always had just the right pace for everything.
10:15 - Going off the fact that the guy Benjamin and Reuben rescued looks like Dad from FFL2, (spoiler alert!!)
There's the point in FFL2 when you have to go into the Cafe and play the jukebox to gain access to the rebel base. The jukebox costs 10GP to play a tune.

@MWaser Don't people who have a normal job sell themselves? That's what everyone does. We exchange hours for dollars. They've simply managed to significantly reduce that ratio.
@lsthatadeer Thanks. I've corrected it.
the blizzard spell reminds me of the snowy spell from Super Mario RPG.
Also, have you ever heard this remix of the battle theme?
Well, I can't paste a link, but it's on Newgrounds and titled "FinalFantasy MQ - Battle Theme" by DerHato.

You know HCBailly, if you like the music in this game you should check out Treasure of the Rudra. It's a Squaresoft RPG on the SNES with the same composer as Mystic Quest.
Reuben's dad looks a little like a video game sprite of Indiana Jones lol.
@toaker I probably misspoke there. I'm probably about halfway now. Still, it is very short.
They do get rid of Dad's hat in SaGa II! I was so upset to see that!
@JohnRayJr Not too argue but that calculation doesn't really hold up. The next area has more 2.5+ minor dungeons and then there's the final dungeon as well (come on, as if that's a spoiler) Depending on the video length he'll take a bit more than your estimate I assume.
Getting the claw reminded me of a super-easy way to kill a future boss. I'll tell you when you get within 3 or so episodes of that boss.
and here i thought i was being clever and original with my title for this part of my let's play of mystic quest! haha (Oddball)
The weapon is a flail I think. A morning star is just a mace with spikes... if I remember correctly. Then again, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it's a flail that Reuben uses though. Someone else probably already said it. I personally don't care what it's called. They are awesome, the end.
Does the charm claw increase magic like the cat claw does?
@toaker That was actually Raijin, ya know?
I actually like the magic animations in this game. I actually think they should of used it more often in their other other games but it's too late now.
Am I the only one who sees that Benjamin looks like Bartz? Or am I crazy?
@lecmg Do battlefields count?
hey HC are you still planning on doing a lets play of ff tactics? if you do that would be great you really can't find a really good lets play of tactics yet...
IIRC, if you fail to pick up the second tier claw, then get the third one, you can later replace the third tier claw with the second one.

@TheDragoon9713: I think he is talking about Darksydephil and others who upload several videos per day.
@314Marvin He has Fuujin syndrom
Have you ever played Final Fantasy Adventure (Also known as Mystic Quest in Europe)?
Djinn and Tonic? Do they mix? :V
@mamatamba2 I'll probably LP Final Fantasy X someday, but not this year.
Do you plan on doing Lufia 2, Bailly?
@raddudeguy You're not the only one. I've been playing a lot of FF5A lately. You might be crazy though. I'm crazy in every situation. :D
Jinn has trouble if you hit him with a Charm Claw...
"Kiss me fat boy!" - nice IT reference :)
@HCBailly yes
@lecmg It's terribly linear, but it's still a very fun game. I'm not sure why, you really only need to mash the a button to beat most battles.
@Darlos9D Maybe. Oh well, doesn't matter. It hurts to get hit!
@Namegoesthere Yeah I can see that, but still, it was his thing.
Pretty odd a cup of coffee is 10 GP whereas Ben's allowance is 2 GP a month.
The average cup of coffee is $2.70 right now divided by 5 means that Ben's allowance is 54 cents/month...

@TheDragoon9713 i cant help but agree i consider hc a big name..
Almost done with the game? Wait, what?
wait yor almost done? is the game that short?
Oh so smart HCBailly...
@HCBailly Dragon Quest 1 short?
Interesting fact: the Charm claw can break the game. If you ignore the charm claw, and then collect it after you get the Dragon claw, you actually can't complete the game. I found this out the very, very hard way. I'm glad you didn't do what I did.
having trouble getting it up eh =P.
@mamatamba2 yes i know that
HC.. What emulator do you use mate?
9:51
Big-Lipped Alligator NPC?
Are there any side quests in this game? Seems exceedingly linear.
Arion is the fater.
Hey HC? How's it going? :P
is this live commentary, or post commentary?
Damn, if only you had that claw in DW3. It'd be much easier to put enemies to SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP without wasting a turn to do so.
@NantoShin
SMT: Persona 4 is a new RPG and it's better than 95% of classic RPG's. If you haven't played it check it out.
I noticed HCBailly says "You know" alot. (Not that thats a bad thing since i say it in real life alot too.You know?)
Heh, true that. There's just a difference between people who have normal jobs and people about whom half of the world knows, isn't there?
@Implotion HC's already LP'd that game.
@HCBailly Uh..... I think you are a cool person and do you play a PSP game called, Dissidia Final Fantasy? If yes, who is your favorite character? If no, it is ok.
If you had to use your imagination...why even have a boulder on the screen?
the life spell is so broken in this game lol
@leakeyboat live
@mamatamba2 Actully not really its kinda the worst horrible plot. but awesome mages Lulu and Yuna are epic
Nice uses of word play aside, isn't that an old lady drink?
I'd say people who make a living out of Internet videos really need to rethink their lives. I can understand the ad revenues, but anybody selling T-shirts and things like these are just selling themselves. Especially if at the begging of the description you can see "like, comment and subscribe".
WTF HOW CAN THEY GET RID OF THE HAT, THATS SACRILEGE!!!!!
Whats wrong with this games magic always going for the crotch of the enemies? Poor Sods.
The Hell?
Am I the only one who names my main character Muhammad?
sorry to be a nazi but if i'm not someone else will be, at the start you said lets rescue reubens father. but in the description you said arions father.
@perspixx well At Least it's Way Better than Adel XD
Lol says u know 15 time in one subject
N35396
does your fiancee watch your videos?
