[Mi'ihen] Crews of what? - FFX LP

ITT: Current progress of my FFX LP, both from the gameplay standpoint, as well as the actual status of the LP itself (recordings, commentary, etc). This will also be the thread where I'd like to set people up for commentary on videos as we go along.


So far, the following have expressed interest in various parts:

Adri - Operation Mi'ihen, Guadosalam, final ascent of Gagazet
Aki - Rikku's reappearance
Alex - Farplane, Evrae battle (under Bevelle)
Bex - Bevelle section (Evrae, wedding, Cloister)
Joe - Leaving Besaid, Kilika, Luca, blitz in general (third and fourth videos in their entirety)


First video: Just over an hour in length (unedited), starting with the PS2 logo and the main menu, and going through the first sequences of the game; that is, the opening Zanarkand sequence, Tidus awakening at the abandoned ruins of what turns out to be Baaj Temple, meeting Rikku and the other Al Bhed, and the descent into the ocean ruins from the salvage ship. Ends at the Save Sphere inside the ruins.

Second video: Picks up where the previous left off in the ruins, through the reactivation of the power generator, return to the salvage ship, and the first bit of exposition on the world of Spira. Also includes the attack of Sin, Tidus' arrival at Besaid (and meeting with Wakka and the Aurochs), exploration of Besaid and its temple, meeting Yuna, and the first of the arguments about Tidus not being Chappu. This recording is paused and will be continued.


Third video: Picks up where the previous left off in Besaid, as Tidus wakes up to join Yuna, Wakka, Lulu, and Kimahri on the pilgrimage. This continues through the boat ride to Kilika, Sin's attack, and ends at the steps of Kilika Temple, as the gang fights off Sinspawn [insert French name here], leaving Tidus to seriously consider becoming a guardian.

Fourth video: Picks up where the previous left off in Kilika, as the gang heads into the temple to gain a new Aeon. They meet the hotshot blitz team, the Luca Goers (wtf is a Goer, btw?), and Yuna meets her own competition, in the form of the attractive but incredibly bitchy Dona. This continues through the boat ride to Luca, which has multiple very important plot points, as well as the Jecht Shot Challenge (which I rocked, SHIT YEAH), and also contains Yuna being summonapped, the finals (I actually replayed this twice because I lost, but then gave up after the third time because I was tired of it), the fiend attack on the stadium (and its quelling), and the official addition of Auron and Tidus to the ranks of the guardians, bringing our party count to six.

It's just actually refreshing to see someone actually go forward with something that takes a major investment of time and is a labor of love (you included with the comic, Dacon, and the TLS Audiobook as examples). I never DOUBTED him in particular or anything, but it's really cool to see things come together. I'll be watching and looking forward to this.

Unlike a good portion of the rest of the forum, Omega and myself are actually pretty committed to getting shit done :awesome:

Tbh, I was partially inspired by Mog's FFXIII run.

And, to a lesser extent, the talking about towns one. I enjoyed reading what I saw of it... just needs to get finished. :monster:

Tbh, I think a group of four will do nicely. Atm, it appears to be Alexei, Aki, Adri, and myself - a nice mix.

Soz...the late bird doesn't get a worm, Bex. =/

By the way, if anyone wants to be in on the commentary for any particular part of the game, this is a good time to get that in now. For the time being, I'm going to cap it at three requests

So far, the following have expressed interest in various parts:

Celes - Leaving Luca/infamous laughter scene
Adri - Operation Mi'ihen, Guadosalam, final ascent of Gagazet
Aki - Rikku's reappearance
Alex - Farplane, Evrae battle (under Bevelle)
Bex - Bevelle section (Evrae, wedding, Cloister)


So if you definitely want to be in on a certain part, now's a good time to chime in. We're shooting for no more than 5 people per video.

I'd be particularly interested in getting some of the staff involved with this too. We aren't going to turn anybody away, if you're interested in lending 15 minutes of your time for some discussion and commentary then you're by all means welcome, this isn't a members only/just for the RP section crew idea. It's for the entire forum.

Here's what I think I'm going to do.

I think each "episode" is going to be a three man crew of commentators that are part of the 'regular cast' - that is, Adri, Aki, Alex, and Bex (and myself). I'll probably sit in on 90% of the episodes, and then I'll pull two names out of a hat to determine which of the regulars will be in it. The other two spots (there will be five people total) will be open for guest stars, which is open to any member of TLS that wants to partake. If both of those slots aren't filled, then the remaining spots will also be filled by pulling names of regulars out of said hat.

As far as the specific parts go, anyone who expresses interest in a specific part of the commentary will be in that section of the game, and the remaining spots will be open to whoever's interested in being in it at the time, be it regular or otherwise, on a first come basis. If there are any empty spots left after that, then they'll be filled by regulars, chosen by the hat.

Although this can also be tailored to have a cast of basically just guests, or maybe even change the regular cast during different parts of the game. Kind of up in the air atm.

I would like to enquire as to the type of hat.

I'll be recurring guest, hombre. Specifically some parts involving Jecht and the journey towards Kilika.

I'd really enjoy getting in on this, you know I'm good for some commentary and discussion.
Bits I'd most like to discuss would be 'Leaving Besaid/Fighting Sin' and 'Return to Zanarkand' mainly. I also wanna express a lot of interested in all the blitzball related parts, and ofcourse the first appearance of Anima at the blitzball stadium.
Its up to you bro.

All righty, so Joe and Mumble for the third video, then. (which I'm about to start and will probably be the entire trip to Kilika)
