It's been awhile since I've done any of
this, but that's mostly because some unfortunate and, for the time
being, anyway, at least somewhat personal things have happened since
then. I might get into it later, but for now, on with the game.
To begin this time around, I took Gau
out on the Veld for awhile. Got him a few new monsters for his rage
list. Again, there were a few that just plain and simple got away,
but there'll be other chances to get to them.
The next stop was one of the little
islands just north of Mobliz, where Terra was last time we saw her.
I got in a fight there, where Sabin leveled up and learned a new
Blitz called Swirler, I believe, that gives his health and magic to
the other party members, but proves fatal to him. Of course, I
didn't remember or realize that when I tried it during the boss fight
with Phunbaba in Mobliz that takes place in a bit. It did come in
handy, though. I'll get to why when I get to the boss fight.
In the house where all the kids plus
Duane and Katarina are living and taking care of each other and
Terra, the party finds that there's been some tension between the two
parents-to-be, and Katarina has run off to one of the other houses to
get some space. Duane's still a halfway decent father, though, and
has gone after her to try to make things right. And of course,
Terra's there, too, to maybe talk sense into them.
Turns out, Katarina's within days of
having the baby she was pregnant with last time we saw them, and both
the soon-to-be-parents are a little stressed out about it. Just as
the young couple decides that they can pull through for their kid,
Phunbaba attacks again. At first, Terra thinks she still can't
fight, so the party goes out to deal with it.
This is where it came in handy that
Sabin's Swirler move wound up proving fatal for him. See, once
Phunbaba gets down to critical health from the normal party, in this
case I had Shadow, Sabin, Gau, and Edgar, Phunbaba does a breath
attack that knocks three party members out of the party. But since
Sabin was dead, and not even on the screen at the time, really, he
was back in the party, albeit dead, after a cutscene where Terra
morphs and joins the fight. Having both Shadow and Sabin in the
party with Terra really made things easy for actually finishing off
Phunbaba. An interesting note about this fight is that Terra doesn't
have a meter for her morph this time, so she stays that way the whole
time.
After the battle, Terra realizes she
can still fight and needs to rejoin the party to go after Kefka in
his tower. She tells the kids that Duane and Katarina will keep them
safe, and that they'll need help with the new baby when it comes.
She then says her goodbyes because she's coming with us to make sure
the world's a safer place for them to live in because Kefka's gone.
From here, I think I'll try to get Cyan
again. I'm pretty sure there's a way to get him out of Zozo, but I
just can't remember how, exactly, that works. The good news is that
there are a lot of Let's Plays out there that might actually help me
get it figured out.
Anyway, see you soon with part one of
that, I hope. Until then, stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and
DFTBA!
