Well, Ultros does live, but he never gets to annoy you again, as the troublemaker octopus falls into trouble himself. So, at least that's one true thing that the octopus said.
He must know, since Ultros next appears at the spot where you get a certain party member (though this is perhaps one of the most Guide Dang It aspects of the game, next to finding Blue Dragon. Maybe not so much that part itself (as there is a hint to it) but something before, which is not far from now actually)
I love watching this LP series because I'm learning SO many new things about this game, even after having played it numerous times. For example, I used to always ignore Gau all the time, but seeing some of his rage techniques has really swayed me to his amazing abilities
I found out the annoying way that if you're working on learning Gau's rages while you're working on Strago's lores on the veldt and Gau decides to come back to the party at the end of a battle where you would have learned a lore you don't learn the lore... happened to me at the end of the chaser encounter after getting the enemies to use all four abilities during the battle...
Ultros and Typhon from the Whisperwind Cove from Final Fantasy DOS, not to mention the Phantom Train from before... all in this game! I love that I'm seeing where they originally came from here
Yes, HC, Strago CAN learn L.5 Doom by watching the Joker Doom combination form Setzer, and I think that's because Joker Doom is actually a modified version of L.5 Doom or something like that. There's a Slot guide in GameFAQs that explains it in a better way than I did xD. By the way, sorry if I mispelled something, it's just that english isn't my native language.
Well, if you look carefully at the airforce, most of the enemy crafts are heavier-than-air propeller-based planes, whereas only Setzer has a true lighter-than-air airship.
Maybe it's due to technological constraints. The Empire has figure out how to propel smaller suits of armor into the air, but not a huge airship like the Blackjack or Falcon.
air forces can attack ground forces as well as air. The empire being the only ones with air forces would make it actually quite easy to crush the enemy forces if they lack air power or anti air weaponry.
Yeah, it's totally Shadow's fault, also Celes's loyalty is much more in question in the original translation. Back in Thamasa when Strago mentions where the Espers might be he suddenly wants to "look for them in his own way" in other words go get paid to sell you out. Though if Celes was really in question what about that whole torture scene, was that a setup? My guess is that Celes just cannot decide which side she wants to be on truly until well, she is given an explicit choice to make.
@nfistfu Yeah...often in JRPGs (especially by Square) the kanji meaning "silence" will be used. I guess the localization team felt that we would want to be able to read the word rather than seeing a symbol that most of us wouldn't know! :-P Unfortunately, even with the kanji, the symbol of a word just doesn't carry the same weight over here as it does in Japan...heh.
Mogs useless attack did say it missed, it was just mostly hidden by the machines arm. I call it blue magic too, I dont know why they called it "Lore" in the first place.
I usually bring Locke to the Floating Continent. I don't play this for ages, but I think there is a monster in this place that you can steal Genji Gloves from. And I usually bring Terra too. Because I just like her... :P
When I had this game in junior high, I loved the floating continent so much I went through it three times on every play-through: once with my strongest characters to clear out all the treasure, once with Strago/Relm to learn all the Blue Magic, and finally with Celes to make sure her levels would get nice and high.
HC, i just recently quoted you yesterday. my brother was watching epic movie at the part of the battle and when everyone was stabbed i just said in your voice, "and they die"
HC tore up Air Force really quickly, even without Water Rondo; this boss has the annoying tendency to launch a Speck, which acts a lot like Runic; you have to blow it up with physical attacks before you can resume using magic. Also, if you Vanish/Doom Ultros before Chupon shows up, everyone just..um, jumps off the airship for no apparent reason. "Sure! Why not?!" I love the floating continent music, but this place can get..a little rough.
Regarding the Muddle tactic, Why not cast Vanish on the enemy right after casting Muddle, so they won't be able to break their confusion with a physical attack?
Reply to Ellessar12's comment: He could do it, but from what I understand, UA-cam partners are only allowed to show original material, which to my knowledge pretty much means no Let's Plays of any kind of games, unless it's one he created entirely by himself. To put it in easy-to-understand terms: If he were to become a UA-cam partner, he would need to own, or have express permission to use, all video and audio content that featured in his video, according to the Partnership Qualification FAQ
hahaha, u dont need to be sorry for that. i watched all ffs now and CT and what can i say...im doing the same for the german fans and i found so many misspoke xD you rock, keep up with it :)
really, my guess on the three party members deal is that the 'fourth' partymember would be sezier whos driving the airship (while the rest just go poof) and telling you to jump onto the island, while he has to drive away the airship maybe due to flying enemies?
they have one, in order to deal with fying enemys, like dragons, monsters, esper, and for the case, somone managed to get the ONLY flying ship in the whole world, to go against them... sometimes, emperors need to plan even for the unlikelyest cases...
i don't think so, since lv. 5 Doom pierces magic evasion even without the help of Vanish. It may help piercing Death immunity, though i believe it goes through that too.
I take Terra, Edgar, and Sabin to Floating Continent. Edgar and Sabin as they have the most powerful abilities (plus Edgar is my favorite character), and Terra because I just like her, she's my second or third favorite, and plus I give Ultima Weapon to her. (I didn't realize it was tied to your HP, but as I usually heal when I take damage I haven't noticed it decreasing in attack power, and I level grind as much as I can without it being too tedious. It's better than Tifa's ultimate weapon which is only powerful if her limit gauge is high)
Yeah! DDR! I can't even do light mode...and I'm ASIAN which makes me apparently non-asian. Why the hell do my friends think that I look like one means I can do everything for the gold medal. Back to the video, saying Lore eh? GO HC!
Wait the mute spell shows a big circle with "MUTE" on it? I never really used it before... I think they could have put in a better animation then that.
You really shouldn't put Celes in your party here. I'd say why, but that would be a major spoiler, so... Mog and Locke are great choices, however. Mog is just awesome, and some of the enemies here have some very useful items to steal.
Original Japanese Translations: Ultros -> Orthros Chupon -> Typhon ...I really have to wonder why they're named after two three-headed dogs from Greek mythology which are siblings to each other.
Ultros made me lose the game... AGAIN! also it's really weird when I see you comment on someone else's video, because I read it in your voice instead of the general girl/boy voice I use for reading comments of people I don't know the voices of. xD
Mog can dance even when he's falling through the air! He's just that good!

The first time I played VI, I immediately thought Chupon looked like something that flew out of Ghostbusters; and, I still do.
If the Empire wants to rule the world, then the Empire being the only one with an Air Force would be a sure way make that happen.
Strago was one of my fave characters in the series... Blue Mage
That blasted octopus could FLY now!?
ice killing octopus

Octopi have the ability to fly, that's just common knowledge.
Ultros and Typhon from the Whisperwind Cove from Final Fantasy DOS, not to mention the Phantom Train from before... all in this game! I love that I'm seeing where they originally came from here
One time I aced a spelling test because this game taught me how to spell taciturn! Who says video games aren't educational?
This game ALSO taught me the word VELTD and I have used the word in many a scrabble game
Yes, HC, Strago CAN learn L.5 Doom by watching the Joker Doom combination form Setzer, and I think that's because Joker Doom is actually a modified version of L.5 Doom or something like that. There's a Slot guide in GameFAQs that explains it in a better way than I did xD.
By the way, sorry if I mispelled something, it's just that english isn't my native language.
HC has learned a new word in every video of this LP so far.
It just dawned on me but I learned the world VELTD (which has helped me in numerous ways over the years) thx to this game!
Well, if you look carefully at the airforce, most of the enemy crafts are heavier-than-air propeller-based planes, whereas only Setzer has a true lighter-than-air airship.
So glad you're using Mog. Easily the best choice for the Air Force AND the Floating Continent.
Maybe it's due to technological constraints. The Empire has figure out how to propel smaller suits of armor into the air, but not a huge airship like the Blackjack or Falcon.
air forces can attack ground forces as well as air. The empire being the only ones with air forces would make it actually quite easy to crush the enemy forces if they lack air power or anti air weaponry.

either its another monster or I get to have a "Yeah Mistranslations!" moment
Final Fantasy is indeed a very educational game. You have many mythological creatures and a lot of foreign ancient words. And so on.
@nfistfu Yeah...often in JRPGs (especially by Square) the kanji meaning "silence" will be used. I guess the localization team felt that we would want to be able to read the word rather than seeing a symbol that most of us wouldn't know! :-P Unfortunately, even with the kanji, the symbol of a word just doesn't carry the same weight over here as it does in Japan...heh.

And I usually bring Terra too. Because I just like her... :P
i love the floating continent music
HCBailey, your videos are funny and informative. You do the best "Let's Play" videos on UA-cam. Keep it up.
When I had this game in junior high, I loved the floating continent so much I went through it three times on every play-through: once with my strongest characters to clear out all the treasure, once with Strago/Relm to learn all the Blue Magic, and finally with Celes to make sure her levels would get nice and high.
Cockatrice did read miss, the text was just blocked by the cannon; it just inflicts stone anyway.
And just one note for those that played FFVII: Chupon makes an appearance as a summon in FFVII. And as always, he's wind elemental.
Chupon is the spanish word for a baby pacifier.
His actual translated english name is "Typhoon".
In later re-releases which fixed all the typos and translation errors, he is called Typhon
HC, i just recently quoted you yesterday.
my brother was watching epic movie at the part of the battle and when everyone was stabbed i just said in your voice, "and they die"
I came unprepared for the ultros fight. I didn't know you have to equip espers for most characters
Taciturn: Quiet.
Chupón is the Spanish word for "Sucker".
Yeah, you never lose troops if your enemy can't fight back.
If they remake that falling battle, it'll be timed i bet.
Yet another awesome video. You rock!
@masterb585 They are one in the same. Typoon is a Typo. It's really Typhon.
Ahhhhh....So Cait Sith's Slots is based off of Setzer's...Interesting to know!
6:55 Woah! Thats a big mute sign! I've never seen that before.
Or, rather, Typhoon looks like Chupon from FFVI.
Gotta remember which came first, the chicken or the...wait, never mind.
No. If you look carefully, Ultros hitchiked on Chupon.
I got a new blue magic spell for his Lore command. Did I say something funny?
...
...
...
Okay, you got me. I know I misspoke there.
HC tore up Air Force really quickly, even without Water Rondo; this boss has the annoying tendency to launch a Speck, which acts a lot like Runic; you have to blow it up with physical attacks before you can resume using magic.
Also, if you Vanish/Doom Ultros before Chupon shows up, everyone just..um, jumps off the airship for no apparent reason. "Sure! Why not?!"
I love the floating continent music, but this place can get..a little rough.
holy god, i saw EVERY FRAME PERFECTLY during the fast forward. O_o my comp may be a douche, BUT IT LOVES YOUR LP!
Chupon's sprite was the base idea for the typoon summen in final fantesy 7 if you look at the 2 there are startleing similarities.
Regarding the Muddle tactic, Why not cast Vanish on the enemy right after casting Muddle, so they won't be able to break their confusion with a physical attack?
Ultros got in the air because magic, that's why.
I didn't think about that. I suppose that would be worth it, even if they use the wrong magical attack on themselves.
chupon is the summon "typhoon" in future games. he looks the same as always :D

There are a number if different types of Airships besides blimps you know
New Blue Magic for Lore.. lol
Gogo colliding Lets Play names!
hahaha, u dont need to be sorry for that. i watched all ffs now and CT and what can i say...im doing the same for the german fans and i found so many misspoke xD
you rock, keep up with it :)
Cokatrice: The worse of BOTH words.
really, my guess on the three party members deal is that the 'fourth' partymember would be sezier whos driving the airship (while the rest just go poof) and telling you to jump onto the island, while he has to drive away the airship maybe due to flying enemies?
Aww, you beat me to it.
they have one, in order to deal with fying enemys, like dragons, monsters, esper, and for the case, somone managed to get the ONLY flying ship in the whole world, to go against them... sometimes, emperors need to plan even for the unlikelyest cases...
3 party members to save shadow that is all
Is it bad that I missed the blue magics on the Velt?
AVGN isn't a UA-cam partner.
i don't think so, since lv. 5 Doom pierces magic evasion even without the help of Vanish. It may help piercing Death immunity, though i believe it goes through that too.
Shrug...hey, if he's already a purple octopus that can talk, sing songs, and ruin operas, why can't he fly
love your title
Chupon IS Typhoon from FF7(my second favourite summon) how obscure to base a future summon on a one time sub-boss?
YAY MOG.
Taciturn (adjective): almost always silent; not liking to talk.
I think abbreviating Imperial Air Force is a joke, making fun of the British Royal Air Force (RAF).
You pronounced taciturn correctly. It means someone who doesn't say much, but whenever they do talk it's important.
I take Terra, Edgar, and Sabin to Floating Continent. Edgar and Sabin as they have the most powerful abilities (plus Edgar is my favorite character), and Terra because I just like her, she's my second or third favorite, and plus I give Ultima Weapon to her. (I didn't realize it was tied to your HP, but as I usually heal when I take damage I haven't noticed it decreasing in attack power, and I level grind as much as I can without it being too tedious. It's better than Tifa's ultimate weapon which is only powerful if her limit gauge is high)
Yeah! DDR! I can't even do light mode...and I'm ASIAN which makes me apparently non-asian. Why the hell do my friends think that I look like one means I can do everything for the gold medal.
Back to the video, saying Lore eh?
GO HC!
When Chupon's approaching the airship, doesn't he look like a knight piece (from chess) ?
Chupon looks like Typhoon from FF7.
I think it's the same.
Wait the mute spell shows a big circle with "MUTE" on it? I never really used it before... I think they could have put in a better animation then that.
@ 1:00 - can't you just use Vanish on the guy so he doesn't hit himself out of confusion?
HCBailly are you going to do anymore blogs on UA-cam
Maybe someday, but not in the near future. I found it to be more work than fun.
You really shouldn't put Celes in your party here. I'd say why, but that would be a major spoiler, so...
Mog and Locke are great choices, however. Mog is just awesome, and some of the enemies here have some very useful items to steal.
@Reshiram131 Where's Human Rights Watch when you need them?
well how does Ultros get anywhere really? I mean he is an octopus... oh well
Original Japanese Translations:
Ultros -> Orthros
Chupon -> Typhon
...I really have to wonder why they're named after two three-headed dogs from Greek mythology which are siblings to each other.
hcbailly he has the fastest airship and only airship those are helli-jets...things
i also said in my world history class that the peasents were poor and "they have little money." in your voice!
is this a sign of being a HCaholic??
the air force = personal combat planes, not huge air ships..
Ultros made me lose the game... AGAIN!
also it's really weird when I see you comment on someone else's video, because I read it in your voice instead of the general girl/boy voice I use for reading comments of people I don't know the voices of. xD
taciturn means he doesn't talk much unlike Ultros.
They're like Jay and Silent Bob.
lol Chrono Trigger FTW!
How'd Ultros get in the air? How about, how'd he get to the top of an opera house? You don't question Ultros. He does as he damn well pleases.
chupon is typhon from whisperwind cove b10 in ff1 dwn of souls
More like Typhon in Whisperwind Cove is Chupon from Final Fantasy VI.
Chupon? I thought it was Typhon.
Blue magic for Lor?
wouldn't a sky force be useful for dropping bombs on things?
Spoilerz: In the GBA version, his name is Typhon, I believe.
dude u are awesome :)
why don't you apply for a youtube partner?
Great LP Bailey, but you messed this one up bringing those 3. Screw that
Pixel Remaster: I wonder why they didn't do anything to rebalance the phantom summon in the game.
at the beginning you said learning blue magic for lore didn't you mean lore for stargo
LOL ur right
Chupon is fire elemental not wind.
Chupon carried ultros
u cant take more than 3 cuz theyre using the chrono trigger rule of no more than 3 ppl
You cant use more than 3 characters or you would end up in end of time, isn't it obvious?
