Let's Play Final Fantasy VI #09 - Blitz Offense

So this version censors some references to death... but has the "slit his mama's throat" line that was changed in later versions.
(Plus I could've sworn they left a certain mass murder intact here too...)

And yes, in the versions I played, Terra said "I thought you were one of Vargas's bears." And Sabin says "You thought I was a bear? I'll take that as a compliment!"

Pixel Remaster: The blitz mechanic has been altered in this game, you get a list to select from and then you can input the button sequence without error, it means there is less user error for this ability, which is nice. The final screen of Mt kolts doesn't have any encounters so that formation is likely gone or now just really rare.

Commenting in 2022

Left, right, left, A button: down in ONE shot 😉

press X to pay respect

one of my favorite games of all time.. a true gem of a game.
I love the returners music theme. I'm going to watch this full LP, the commentary is brilliant. Bravo

Once I finish this long but surely epic lp, I will have seen most if not all of your final fantasy lps, so the question is did you ever do an lp on a game called Golden sun and it's 2 sequels? and if not, would you consider it?

HCBailly, the story that Banon was talking about was "Pandora's Box." I'm a huge fan and I minored in Classical (Greek) Mythology in College, so that's how I know. Also, it's strange how Banon said "he" when talking about the myth, when Pandora was a woman

HC when it comes to Twins the one born first is usually refer to as the older of the two and the other is call the younger one

Ohhh my god I feel so dumb! I've been stuck on this part for ages! I was inputting the commands AFTER I chose blitz! >-<

The 3 dislikes are all made by Vargas lol

This battle. Bastard move. Very bastard move. Even in Advance. Then again, bigger fan of IV than V or VI.

With twins, the first one that is born is the older one, even though it's usually a difference in minutes instead of years. At least, that's what I've heard.

this is diffrent from the VisualBoyAdvance emulator.

i died to this guy so many times the first time  i played this game

Get on webcam and have a White Mage cast Cura on it.

Yeah from what I've seen, most twins discern who is older by the seconds that separate them. I think that's the question most twins have: "Which one of us is the oldest?"

8:35 fifth element reference i believe

I hate trying to play it on a computer keyboard.

Sabins blitz commande would´ve been so easy with an analog controller...

I was so bad at entering Blitz codes, I could only use the first couple. That is, when I used Sabin, which was rarely.

Yeah twins are kinda recurring topics in the final fantasy series the first twins were Scott and Gordon then Palom and Porom then Lenna and Faris (although she's a year older than Lenna) then Biggs and Wedge from ff7 and last but not least, Lighting and Serah from ff13

Well i had the game but my cousin threw it and my dog chewed it -_-

You're welcome o3o...didn't know this would help a year later xD...

thanks you really helped me out :D

ive had this game for 3 years. thank you! <3

Interestingly enough, it's Pandora's Jar, not box. (Check Wikipedia for an explanation of the mistranslation.)

That's not how childbirth works.

Nice Fifth Element reference. A. Cherry.

3, 2, 1... TEACH US HOW TO BLITZ!

Never understood the paper joke thing

Maybe she knew duncan isn't really dead

thank you for Blitz=)

So...Terra would be the mockingjay for the returners as Katniss was for district 13 in the hunger games?

I've never seen that cut scene with Duncan's wife before; nor did I know about that scrap of paper having some purpose. I'll have to try them for myself someday. Right now though I'm too close to finishing the game to start over.

Ok, I'll explain blitz. First you click the blitz option atk and you will see the cursor pointing at sabin ontop of him before you click A to pick him, press left right left then A. I advise doing it slowly

@ord4everX14 not to mention one of them could just take the role of big brother, and sabin could be bigger physically

Blitz? I see no balls. Oh wait there's four other men in the party! Horray!

wth i can't blitz -_-'

I like what she says in the advance version where she thinks he was one of vargas bears

@ord4everX14 twins start developing in the womb at the same time. technically they are the same age.

thank you so much for this i was having a hard time with blitz >.<

Sabin is a bear...? That makes me think of something entirely different...

@SuperBlackjack22 press a on blitz and while it selects Sabin, press left right left and press a again

Sabin totally broke the fourth wall during that fight

i got another mithril claw :)

Died so many times on that Blitz part, all because like you said, the game tells you how to do it a little too late...

When I was a kid this game was new to me and I was stuck at Vargas and had to put the game down for probably more than a year. I also gained a lot of levels before I gave up on it, because I kept thinking there was something else I was missing. I did the blitz incorrectly thinking that I had to push left, right, left, while Sabin moved forward (not when the cursor was on him). I was soooooo happy when I finally figured it out. Sadly, that was the hardest part in the game for me.
