LAST TIMEhttps://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/729767208/>Cecil, Captain of the Blackwings, went to Mysidia to steal their Crystal>returning home, Cecil felt bad, so the king stripped him of his rank and sent him to deliver a bomb ring to Mist, the town of summoners>devastated by her lost, Rydia, a 7 year old girl, summoned Titan, separating Cecil and his friend Kain from their home>They met up with Tellah, a wise sage, who killed Edward, Prince of Damcyan>eventually, Cecil came to the mount of Ordeals, conquering his inner darkness to become the warrior of myth...the FELL KNIGHT>meanwhile, Rydia somehow grew to adulthood and has been pursuing us, killing one of the twin mages that was helping us>Rosa, meanwhile, got captured by Golbez, turning on him and becoming the mighty Auranox, because god forbid Cecil have any female romantic interests>Now, with Golbez shaking off his brainwashing, he joins the party>Can we stop Auranox from gathering the crystals for...reasons?>And can we get rydia to calm her tits and stop trying to kill us?Yeah, this game is hilariously stupid. I started this on NYE, but it's less choice based so I'll be playing it here instead of /v/. What the fuck is this?>This is Final Fantasy IV: Alter Destiny, an RPGMaker fanfiction of FFIV. The story is already diverging, and I'm excited to see how else it will change. >I'm playing blind, and any options that can be taken, will be up to the thread.
so here's the current party. For those unaware, "Fell Knight" gets to keep using the dark knight abilities and gear, but also gains white magic and paladin gear. Golbez is a black mage who can use armor and proper swords. Kain has actual abilities, but none are as good as Jump, which has no charge time and hits instantly.
this shit is so surreal.
I actually lost to Barbariccia while on the drunk stream, so I'm curious how this'll go.
apparently pretty well. I feel like I remember calcabrina being moderately difficult...but not here.
>Cecil deadnames her
>she's brown and wearing almost nothingthat's how you know she's evil.
so this is normally when adult Rydia shows up and saves everyone. Who will it be instead?I honestly don't know.
...oh my fucking god.
>>3907280what are those the children of the corn?
IT'S STILL FUCKING RYDIAalso time for one of the best songs in FF. >>3907287they're dolls.
>>3907286So Rydia is Vegata/Hosoka now
>"Wait, you want to kill Cecil too?">"Yes!">"Y-you don't understand!!!">"Quiet, bitch.">"Why don't we figure out a mutual arrangement?"oh my fucking god, Rydia is teaming up with Auranox after beating her.
>have to go up and down the stairs 4 times to get all the items>on both sideswhy?
>go to the dev room>it's a bunch of what I'm assuming are PCs from another Spheresoft game
>>3907294Dragon Warrior 1 solve this problem :v
>giant telescope is advertising their other games
this game in a nutshell.
>>3907273Hi again Tomo. You gonna do the ds ff4 hard mode after this?
>>3907302probably going to replay renaissance with a new team, to be honest.
>>3907304an end of firemblem ironman?
>>3907305nah, just not feeling FE right now, and I've been busy fulltime wagecucking.
why is the aspect ratio fuckedyou can't do that by accident in rpgmaker
>>3907307Yeah I know the feel, started and stopped in holoemblem and even though I'm at the final map I'd just rather do other games right now.
>>3907309there's 3 default aspect ratios. I chose the middle size.>>3907311I have another hack a dev sent me, but I can't share it around and I haven't even felt the drive to finish what's available.
well, I thought I skipped to progress further, but I guess we just can't go here yet.
...how does THIS Kain know about Rubicante?
>>3907329Rosa toll him before the game began
this lugae looks pretty cool.
>they won't get all the crystals easily, so do a sneak attack!>"haha it's too late, he has all the crystals already"which is it?
>the cannons got overloadedwithout yang to kill himself, how will we save the day?
oh that looks HORRENDOUS.
>Yang didn't need to sacrifice himself>we just needed to fly the airship up to slap the gun around
wow, we just skipped pretty much ALL of the underground stuff.
>>3907347we are Final 6 now
>>3907349Might be missing context just going from the screenshots, but I think this is how it went in the original. You get kicked out after Babil Tower, then you have to go through Eblan Cave to get back in, when you get the second airship.And I still can't believe Porom is a permanent member. But the way the girls are treated in this game, I half-expect Porom to turn evil at the end of the Sealed Cave instead of Kain getting brainwashed again, and FuSoYa joins as the final member.
>>3907352I also sincerely doubt Edge will be joining us, since he's all about that summussy.
>>3907352also yeah, I guess I was wrong.
so uh...here's Eblan castle.
this is just the cave to damcyan again.
Going to try playing this game too, reminds me of another rpgmaker fangame for megami tensei called the reborn world
>>3907362good luck, anon.
so, will Edge be ruined?
>oh hey, time for her to summon Bahamut, I guess that makes sense>J-E-N-O-V-A starts playingIT'S FUCKING JENOVA, NOT BAHAMUT
>take the FF1 ogre mage>call it the mad ogre
>edge fights his parents>then runs off>doesn't join the party>Rydia instead shows up again
Gilgamesh again?I mean, I'm not saying no to more Battle on the Big Bridge.
...Rubicante just fucking KILLED EDGE.
>every single guy that's died so far, had canonical romances with women at some point, or would going forward
>With Edge dead, you can just ignore the Rubicante gimmick
>crystal had a trap door
that...led to the Falcon. With that, I'll call it for the night. We'll continue tomorrow.
>>3907362Beat Scarlimonge, that was a nailbiter... boss made drain into a serious threat and this came down to almost all my ethers and hi-potions and an elixir. I haven't done any grinding yet
>>3907408I'll warn you now, you have to actually beat Cecil.
>>3907411Yeah I had a feeling that may be the case, going back to town to buy more items
I'm impressed they decided to use the PSX/PSP(?) sprites.Honestly think the story here is better than After years though
>>3907362I am now fully caught up.I've also discovered a new mechanic. If you press Rshift your turn moves back slightly in the ATB. Has this always been in VX?
>>3907292>Mist Village being destroyed was done by the order of King Baron, who was actually Cagnazzo>Aurolex controls the Four Fiends>Rydia is helping her mother's killers>Golbez doesn't have a single word with Rydia or Rubicante even though he was in league with the Four Fiends>Golbez has not told any of this to Cecil>Cecil still doesn't know who his father is
Auranox*
>>3907725Did golbez actually know? IIRC he was pretty thoroughly brainwashed by zeromus from birth.
>>3907732Now I'm not sure. I thought he knew because he knew Cecil
Okay now I feel fucking ashamed of myself. Am I retarded? Am going to have to replay FF4 for real after this https://youtu.be/6aeRM6Q2mlg?si=6mKkcqIqwxz2MK_4&t=394
>>3907746FFIV is a pretty good game. Not my favourite, even among the 2D FF games, but...I'd go 6>5>2>4>1>3. 5 would be higher if the story was better. 2 would be higher if the gameplay wasn't broken.
>>3907749Mhm, I've played all of these and 6 is my favorite ff, I also played in the ff5 fiesta last year and did four back2back playthroughs for that event, I recently replayed ff1 and ff2 twice, But I haven't played ff4 in like 13-14 years so my memory is hazy
>>3907756same, though I didn't do the fiesta fest. I replay 1 and 2 relatively frequently, and I'm a sucker for mindless grinding so I always get like 3/4 into 5 and then drop it around the third world.
>>3907746Those scenes were added to the 3D remake, so assuming you're more used to the 2D versions it's no surprise you don't remember it.>>3907749Personally I rank 4 pretty low. Never liked it that much, since my first time playing it on the Playstation (though considering Chrono Trigger came in the same package, nothing would have looked good in comparison). But I literally just finished replaying it for like the third time a couple months ago and I still don't like it.
