Well...
Lets hope it isn't the one that has a character named "Thunder" who says the extremely 'genius' lines like the famous "Destiny is destiny." :'D

No Rad, you have no idea how deep that abyss goes!
Indeeeeed. Strap your twitching limbs down, this is about to start making about as much sense as a dumpsterful of orangutans. I can't wait for the androgynous character with a hairstyle like an explosion in a Swiss army knife factory to appear. It's a shame we won't be able to hear what their laughter sounds like due to the format, because I'm already anticipating strangled crow fellatio.

Oh boy, oh boy. OH BOY OH BOY OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY! :D



Maybe I'll just sit down for a while.

EDIT: In retrospect, that may have come across as seethingly negative. I should add that I'm no less excited to see where the comic's going to go next. I just enjoy taking the piss out of the Final Fantasy series. Music's very good, though.

Hmmmm...are we going to get an FF7 parody? Or is Rad's finger hiding another "I" and we're going into FF8 territory? If the latter, it's about to get obscenely emo up in here. If the former: still rather emo, just not quite as obscene and over-the-top about it.

Wow, there's certainly quite a bit of gloom and doom in the comments. Calm down, people, it's only Ultimate Saga VIII, widely hailed as the second-best installment post 16-bit (after US:VII, natch). We haven't yet gotten to the "strangled cow-fellatio" laughter of (the aptly-named) Solus in US:X (remember, US:VIII wasn't voiced) or the interminable linear grind that is Thunder's Revisitation: Ultimate Saga XII.

EDIT: I see the extra 'I' hiding behind your finger, Rad, you cheeky rascal. Got my hopes up for a moment.

and so we embark on a meaningless saga of vague semi hippie deuscide quest full of androgenous teenage twats, shallow pinnup damsels in distress, undertones of homophobia and a plot incomprehensibly thick with jargen and pseudo theological references yet childishly simple and stupid and a combat system that can't make up it's mind as to wether it wants to be turn-based or real time. can we just play "wywern era excommunication" instead? maybe a bit of "the warlocker 3". maybe even "overstory", i hear it's quite a lot like the 1995 jrpg classic "heaven-released" the second installment in the "father" trilogy"

Yay, a JRPG chapter! I am waiting for at least one joke about dumb hair, at least one for oversized swords and one for "why the hell do I have to stand still when f*cker is attacking me?!".

Some "classic", we still haven't managed to get the 3rd one. I'm beginning to wonder if the prospect of adventuring with Casul and friends is even worth it at this point.

Well, at least he chose the best in the series. I've heard that eight will make your eyes desolve, and ten will make you bleed from every oriface.

Personally, I want them to get through this so that they can get to Quiet Mountain. Im curious how Gunny would do in there.

Well, he actually uses legit, albeit old, real life strategy. Here is a dumb comic about it:

Yeah. But they aren't fighting a real war. They are playing a videogame (which isn't even about a real war).

My thought upon seeing the cover of the game in Rad's hands: "Uh oh. Buckle up, kiddies, we're going to take on JRPG's! Overly long cutscenes that look nothing like the gameplay graphics, dudes that look like chicks, pseudophilospohical babbling, fighting with MENUS, Oh, they're going to rip 'em some new ones!"

I read that in the voice of Yahtzee, and it was a perfect fit!
