So from the wiki: According to Genow, the correct pronunciation of Vi's name is the one that rhymes with the word "bee". But also In the manual of the physical limited release of the game, Genow states that Vi's sister Jaune actually pronounces Vi's name like it rhymes with "bye". Soooooo both are correct I guess???
And if you combine the two pronunciations, it sounds like a dyslexic person trying to say "Leavy", like "bee-vy". ... OH MY GOD WHAT IF VEE IS JUST SHORT FOR VEE-BY?!
Unending Youth and Power! The Queen of Bugaria wanted to obtain all of these things, the words she uttered right before her well deserved sleep drove bugs to adventure. “The Everlasting Sapling? If you want it, you can have it! Find it! I left everything the world has to offer in One Leaf.”
Heads-up: since you’re playing on normal mode (which is completely fair and definitely optimal for streaming/VA purposes, you are very valid) you can buy the badges you normally earn through hard mode from the traders right outside of the adventurers guild. You don’t miss out on anything, it’s just more expensive.
i just give drugs to Vi and watch the carnage. first and only playthrough i did was on hardmode. by drugs i mean the charm where you do more damage while poisoned, while in general focusing on poison and damage.
to clarify the Vee/Vy thing, "Vi was created by Mar. According to Mar, the programmer and animator for the game, Vi is around 16-17 years old. Following a similar trend of color-based names, her sister Jaune's name is French for "yellow". Additionally, purple (violet) and yellow are complementary colors in the color wheel. According to Genow, the correct pronunciation of Vi's name is the one that rhymes with the word "bee". In the manual of the physical limited release of the game, Genow states that Vi's sister Jaune actually pronounces Vi's name like it rhymes with "bye"." -the bug fables wiki
Wouldn't Vi (vē) be the most accurate given that her name would presumably be French, as her sisters' names are also, because the French uses the long "I?"
By the way, the game was designed FOR hardmode, it is the intended difficulty by the dev and what it was balanced for. I don't think it makes the game much longer, unlike the menu code difficulties (which are really satisfying to get through and add a ton of replayability, there's even a built in randomizer) This playthrough is about the voices though and you guys are doing incredible work
Speaking from what I experienced literally just this session, yes, I can confirm, it ABSOLUTELY makes the game much longer. Being able to deal 1 point of less damage to almost every enemy adds like 5% to every battle along and I can already tell I'm going to be shaving off at least three hours on my first playthough just by not having to run back out to town to heal six times each chapter.
It's more HP that's jacked up than Defense usually, and Chapter 1 at least can still be cleared pretty handedly if you can get the Action Commands down, but even still the fact that you're always taking damage in Hard Mode absolutely makes the game much harder to manage without losing time, which wouldn't be great for a voiced stream series. Shame about the free Medals, though...
@JelloApocalypse I'm gonna take your word on that, haven't compared them myself. Also now that you mention the possibility of taking 0 dmg, it definitely makes it faster
It makes me so happy that you’re playing this. Also as another commenter said Hard mode is the intended difficulty of this game. Also Also it is pronounce vee as another commenter said. it’s the French pronunciation of it and it was confirmed by devs.
This trio has the energy of a found family where: Kabbu: the dad trying to teach good morals and kindness. Lief: the tired autistic teen who tells it like it is. Vi: the irresponsible and impulsive greedy little sister.
2:10 I really, REALLY hope that when the main channel video of bug fables comes out, you'll include a joke about inserting an inconspicuously well placed "L" in Bugaria, and proceed with the narration as normal
They’re pretty far in the game now, so I think I’m free to say this (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 6 BELOW) In Chapter 6, you can buy an item called “Longleg Summoner” from the Tarantula Wizard’s tower’s gumball machine looking thing (for 10-19 berries each). The Longleg Summoners can then be sold to the other Spider NPC, Pinky, for double profit (37 berries each if I remember correctly). Load up your entire inventory with Longleg Summoners, and sell all of them to Pinky to make a ton of money pretty quickly (I think like about 300-400 per trip)
36:48 aah yes that xenoblade 2 boss where you have to attack the wires behind the big fuckoff sentry instead of the big fuckoff sentry only to destroy the big fuckoff sentry later only the wires are hard as fuck because they have SPIKES THEY ARE SPIKY WIRES I HATE THEM
Moments for myself 2:41:42 delivery by Leif was peak 2:42:16 the side chatter was amazing The voice acting was just on point. Securely gonna binge watch this over the next few days!
When I played this kabbu was my mvp. I put all the attack on him since he ignored 1 defense and basically all enemies on hard have defense. Leif and Vi were really just there for utility. Great game.
It was Vi for me; I knew immediately I'd be using the common paper-mario strat of stacking attack bonuses on her to trick out her multi-hit skills. By the end I could 1-2 shot most of the game's bosses, hitting on turn one for around 60 damage... though Kabbu WAS the ultimate MVP due to his taunt and def-stacking being the only way to properly survive the endurance battles like the boss rushes, cave of battles, and the two quests that had like 15-enemy encounters.
my comprehensive guide to making money in bug fables Step 1: complete chapter 3 step 2: make sure to have used spy on mothiva and zasp step 3: defeat mother chomper & spy her. step 4: do the card game side quest to completion optimal deck at this point in the game is BOSS Card: mother chomper MINIBOSS cards: mothiva & zasp Deck: Chompers have fun dueling and you can make enough berries to beat the game
Jello you should go back to the theatre in the ant kingdom and talk to one of the npcs there. You get cute dialogue and a quest item you’ll need for later in the game
Finally getting around to watching this! (I want to remind myself of character intricacies whilst I write fanfics.) And Kabbu and Maki both sounding like posh Brits is cracking me up. 😄
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: THE BANK IS STILL AWESOME, USE IT! Seriously, it was only nerfed down to 2/3rds efficiency with a max cap, and at max it's STILL 75 berries every half hour which is PLENTY good! If you're a completionist (and use the Hard Hits badge like I did), then with smart investing you'll actually max out the bank before you finish all the game's content most likely.
Leif kinda reminds me of orik in steam world quest, mystery elegant cool guy you rescue relatively early in the game and all that. Propably has some of the coolest combat mechanics too if I had to guess. Edit: yep I was right
22:32 actually vi's sister will heal you for free if you visit her after completing vi's sidequest (i dont think the game ever mentions this to you, its worth doing it as soon as you can though since its faster to get there to heal than it is to run halfway to snakemouth every time)
There is a thing you can do later where you can refight bosses in hard mode for the bosses badges later. Could be something you do off screen if you wanted
I cant imagine the voices of the epithet erased characters as any other people and its rather ammusing to hear Ramsey and molly together with a bunch of friends playing a game

I'm watching this fresh after watching the skies of Arcadia play through and when I'm hearing the green Beatles voice all I can fucking hear is the big bad from skies of Arcadia
I don't know why, but I would very much like to hear Jello and his friends fully voiced a main line Dragon Quest like Dragon Quest I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII or IX, well, that or Chrono Trigger, Chrono Trigger sounds more likely to happen later down the road, not immediately after Bug Fables, other it's a surdose of RPGs, not for me though, I love RPGs, but I understand the need for variety.
So, watching this quite later buuut.. Video game OST favs? Anything R-Type has amazing music. Gradius III as well, good soundtrack, always end up playing some of it while I'm working.
According to the Q and A section of the instruction manual on the physical copy of the game, Vi is pronounced like Bee. But in all honesty, I prefer Vi as in Violet because that's her full name. Edit: This was made before Jello looked up how to pronounce Vi's name. Either way, I still prefer calling her Vi as in Violet.

Fun fact: while I was playing Bug Fables, the voice I gave to Kabu was just Meta Knight from Kirby Right Back Atchya
Fitting.

Hi niko!
So from the wiki:

But also
In the manual of the physical limited release of the game, Genow states that Vi's sister Jaune actually pronounces Vi's name like it rhymes with "bye".
Soooooo both are correct I guess???
So I actually knew someone named Violet and they went by both Vi(like bye), short for Violet, but they also went be just V, their first initial.
I imagine Jaune’s pronounciation is cuz of her calling Vi “Violet”
And if you combine the two pronunciations, it sounds like a dyslexic person trying to say "Leavy", like "bee-vy".
...
OH MY GOD WHAT IF VEE IS JUST SHORT FOR VEE-BY?!
As such my headcanon is that the bees speak with French accents.

"There goes my chance"
God I love their cute little relationship
godamnit the fact that Jello's streaming this is making me wanna speed through my run of the game now so I can't get spoiled in the streams XD
It’s not the Paper Mario we deserved, but it’s the one we need now.
Vi is my favorite party member, in both character and combat. She can be a great glass cannon. Excited to see you guys play and voice this game.
It makes me so happy that you’re playing this.

Literally one of my all time favorite games, so pumped to watch this. Also still love listening to the ost.
Such a great game. Yall do their voices so well.
DONT YOU HATE WHEN UA-cam DOESNT DO ITS JOB, I didn’t get a notification for this and I LOVE bug fables thank yo for doing this
Once you learn to make Crisbee donuts, you can sell them to be 5 berries in profit. Do that continuously to get infinite berries.
There are much easier ways to farm berries.
They’re pretty far in the game now, so I think I’m free to say this (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 6 BELOW)
